Please come back. All of you, please come back. The Press Democrat just informed me that my blog is going back to how it used to be. You don't need to go through Facebook anymore. That's over with. Just read the blog and respond like you used to. We'll have [...]
I'll be on Comcast today at 5 pm, blitzing. Then I drive home and pack and go to bed early and get up while it's dark and drive down to Carmel for the first day of Tiger Reborn, aka, the AT&T golf. It's exciting when life is exciting.
I am amused. My Sunday column wrapped up the Niners' season, explained their great success in the season and dissected the loss to the Giants in the NFC championship game. Many of my readers have written responses putting me down. Note: they write to Grant's blog because it's difficult to [...]
I'm just about to hop in my blue Prius (Mr. Blue) and head over to the City for today's edition of the Blitz on Comcast. A distinguished panel including me will discuss nine hot sports topics starting at 5 pm. I hope you can tune in. Or as we used [...]
I have been flooded today with emails telling me I'm a bad guy. Some of the emails are unprintable, although I'm too old to blush at them. Readers are outraged because I wrote critically of Jim Harbaugh -- in my opinion, not all that critically. So, am I rude to [...]
I spoke to a delightful Rotary group Tuesday night in Monte Rio. It's pretty far from Oakland and I'd had two glasses of wine and driving the River Road at night can be tricky, so the people at Highland Dell graciously put me up. On my drive home this morning [...]
Two hours ago, I challenged readers to suggest not-stupid questions a journalist might ask Jim Harbaugh. On Grant's blog I see 20 responses but no one suggested a question. Why? Is it more difficult to be a journalist than you think? Are you intellectually lazy? Are you really timid? Where [...]
I got a ton of response on my article about Jim Harbaugh being boring in his press conferences. And there was a consistent theme. Many readers defended Harbaugh saying he shouldn't have to answer "stupid questions." Sometimes the adjective was inane or dumb. But you get the idea. The problem [...]
Grant and I are driving down to Santa Clara today -- in separate cars -- for Niner Wednesday. The coach will talk and players will be available. I'm hoping to write about Alex Smith, but who knows? Lots of things could develop. After I write my column I drive to [...]
I will be on Comcast tonight at 7:00 pm with Scott Ostler; Barry Tompkins is hosting. They are two of my favorites. We will discuss Niners, Raiders, Andrew Luck, Giants, A's and Warriors. The usual suspects. Hope you can tune in. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and happy holidays to everyone.
