Frank GoreGore needs three more 100-yard games to tie RB Joe Perry for the most in 49ers history.  He also ranks 9th in team history with 6,696 total yards from scrimmage for his career.  With 115 yards he'll pass Dwight Clark for 8th on the all-time...

So, basically, my posting schedule will have you getting sick of me in no time. Just wanted to warn you. Welcome to the first installment of my weekly matchup review articles in 2009. As I said last week, the format of these posts should be familiar to you if you were around last season. If not, the basic idea of this post is to look b...

Think about it: From September through December of 2005, I covered Davis as the Maryland football beat writer, and two months later, I spent the entire month of February covering Olympic curling in Pinerolo, Italy. Has anyone ever covered Vernon Davis and curling in such close proximity...

Mike Sando runs a weekly penalty watch, and according to his numbers, Vernon Davis tied with Cardi...

Morgan has 13 catches for 202 yards and one touchdown. "It is what it is. If he can help us win, I'm all right with that. "They gave him my spot. So if he's going to be in there, I might as well help him out so I can make sure he gets it right." Morgan has also started getting some work on kickoff returns. Morgan said he wo...
