Top 10 NFL Feuds: #7- Montana vs. Young
The NFL Network is broadcasting another Top 10 list, but this one really was a nicely done one. Of course, I don't think Joe Montana and Steve Young hate each other, but there isn't much to say when they are all at each other's throats during their 49ers careers.
Drum Corps International: A Primer
I made the trip this past weekend to Bloomington, Indiana for the Drum Corps International World Championships. This will be the first of several posts attempting to put that amazing experience into words, and I thought a good place to begin would be describing exactly what DCI is for the few of you who read this and even fewer who may not be familiar beyond "that thing Curtis...
Confused Steve Young shows up to Niners mini camp
A confused Steve Young reported to Niners mini camp yesterday baffling coaches and reporters as he boldly proclaimed this was the year "we finally get over the hump against those Cowboys". While many didn't know what to make of it, the serious nature of the situation became apparent as Young strapped on his old L.A. Express helmet from the USFL and began slapping the asses of everyone...
No Apologies
There has been a lot of talk about the interview I did on HBO's Real Sports.
I have no apologies. I was asked a variety of questions and I answered them.
The fact that the producers and publicists at HBO decided to focus on those
answers that related to race shows that it remains a hot topic in society
today.
Let me address some feedback...

Your MNF Video Of The Night: Steve Young Battles Hecklers
Earlier in the night, Steve Young took on ESPN by calling the network "dumb", but it was his professionalism when battling thrown cups that really impressed me. Here is Young avoiding a plastic cup thrown at him during the postgame and not missing a beat during his analysis....I'm not condoning the act in the least, but if you're going to be the douchebag that throws an object at...
HOF QB Young to Have His #8 Retired on October 5th
The Niners will retire Steve Young's #8 during their home game on October 5th vs the New England Patriots.A "Steve Young is an important part of the 49ers history and tradition," 49ers owner John York said of the Hall-of-Fame quarterback who was the NFL's MVP in 1992 and 1994. "He combined talent, character and a tremendous work ethic to become an incomparable performer and champion...
Pot Calls the Kettle Black: ESPN Talking Heads Say Big Ben Needs to Be Center of Attention
This morning on ESPN's NFL Countdown, the talking heads (John Clayton, Steve Young, and Trent Dilfer, specifically) have been razzing Ben Roethlisberger for being a drama queen and for needing to be the center of attention for how he milks injuries.The irony of course, is ESPN calling someone out for needing to be the center of attention, which is WWL's modus operandi. They might...
ESPN's Plans For The Super Bowl
There's only one entity that could best NBC's thirteen-man production, and that entity is ESPN. I lost count around the number 20, so we'll go with say....26 people. That's how many employees ESPN is sending down to Florida starting this weekend. And while that number is defintely large, it's the production elements that will blow your mind. ESPN will air more than 90 hours SB...
Do It Up During Super Bowl Weekend
The Super Bowl is only days away. People are already making their way to Arizona to start eating, drinking, and listening to athletes screw up on Media Day. I have received some information on a few events occurring in the Scottsdale region. Here they are:

Emmitt Smith Needs To Give Peace A Chance
Before last night's Panthers vs. Bucs game, Emmitt Smith took a moment to break down Steve Smith's brawl with teammate Ken Lucas.
"It's pretty special," Emmitt Smith said, referencing the training camp scuffle that left Lucas with a busted face.
Steve Young, channeling his inner Mormon, immediately questioned Smith's stance.
Per usual, hilarity ensued.
Roll tape.

Hey ESPN, STFU!
Hey ESPN, can you do me a favor?
STFU about Brett Favre. Seriously. Devoting the front page to him after it was rumored he had an "itch" to come back and play? Complete bullspit. Use some common sense guys. Do you honestly think that Favre would not get an "itch" to play again? Hell yeah he's going to get that itch. If you went through as much as he had in the game, of course...
Sam Cassell: A Student of the Game Evolves into A Teacher
I have always enjoyed watching Sam Cassell, in no small part because it is apparent that he takes very seriously what Steve Young would call the "craft" of playing his sport. Relative to top NBA players, Cassell never possessed great size, speed or jumping ability, yet he has always been able to get off--and make--his shot in pressure situations. Cassell won two championship...
What Eagles fans are saying... Redskins, Akers, Westbrook, Reid
If there is one man that I want to blame last week's loss on, it's this man: Andy Reid. You can spread the fault of Chicago loss out on a lot of people, but this one pretty much falls on Reid. The defense also couldn't stop the Redskins at all. You think a little more gameplanning for Cooley would be made. Covering legit TEs has been the Eagles' Achilles heal...
What is the identity of the 49ers?
The Chicago Bears are known for their defense. The Denver Broncos are a running team. The Indianapolis Colts are a receiving team. And the San Francisco 49ers are known for their quarterbacks. But how can the team live up to the status of great quarterbacks with their current load of quarterbacks? Who can follow the steps of Joe Montana, Steve Young and Jeff Garcia?
Let's look...
