That was a horrendous pass by Stafford

It's still baffling that there was an entire set of commercials consisting of Davante Adams having a Taco Bell in his house. He has the personality of a bean burrito without cheese. Maybe they thought that was what made it funny.

Based on that last possession, the NFL isn't all that happy with how the Rams treated the Australia trip like a preseason game.

Hufanga made Kelly Stafford do a surrender cobra on live TV. That's worth at least $5 million when he's at the end of his prime.

Hufanga will return to the Niners at some point. Book it.

Kinda surprised Fox gave this dude with the Trent Williams double-bird T-shirt so much airtime lol

Deshaun Watson becoming the worst quarterback in NFL history (not an exaggeration) is the only current evidence in this country that karma might exist.

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
There was no evidence of it being a good strategy other than people thought it sounded cool

That was wild. Rough studio crew overall

All in all, a pretty decisive win against the best team in the history of American football.

Momentum was already on their side and that just put it in hyperdrive

No sacks but that Stout hit left a mark. Stafford looked old as the game progressed, Niners’ coverage affected him too.

• Deebo’s kickoff return was absolutely massive • Kyle actually trusts his rookie RB • 49ers’ defense was nails on third/fourth down • Rams faded hard as the game progressed, might’ve read too much about how great they are

So much for the “businessmen” bragging on social media that after flying back and forth from LAX to Australia multiple times, they KNEW the Rams were making the smart choice to act like this was a trip to Vegas.

I had totally pushed Jed's whole "win with class" thing out of my head until @annkillion.bsky.social reminded me with her column today. It was ridiculous when he said it then, and it's somehow even more ridiculous now.

He seems like a real delight

He seems like a joyless person... much like the people forced to watch him pitch.

It's probably time to admit that Landen Roupp, who walks over 4 per 9 innings, isn't good.

Yeah, not a single thing against anyone on those shows. I feel for 'em. But there's only so much of this team anyone should be expected to consume.

"Straight-up, it just sucks." Can't say I've watched a ton of the Giants postgame shows this season (for obv reasons) but this is the first time I've seen Sergio Romo actually speak his mind about this disaster of a team.

Watching Haaland is like watching a youth game where one kid is a foot taller than everyone else and the parents are openly questioning whether they're in the right age group.

Pretty funny how multiple Fox analysts said before the game that Cape Verde had absolutely zero chance today against Argentina.

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I’m not confused by the rule, I just can’t stand officials who think they’re part of the show lol

It’s not just the wiped-away goals and lengthy VAR reviews, but the refs seem like they live for calling offside. Enjoying those moments a bit too much, like a hall monitor writing up a tardy slip when you enter class 3 seconds after the bell rings.

MLB issues warning to Giants pitchers who wrote Bible verses on Pride Night caps (Gift Article)
Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker appeared in Friday's game with Bible verses written on their caps.

You know what? It’s true, they aren’t good at baseball. I wasn’t aware of this until now.

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
The Giants could've done the bare minimum to help people who feel marginalized feel a little better on Friday night. But a handful of pitchers thought that was too much. www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

Giants pitchers’ Bible verses on Pride Night caps show how they’ve missed the point
To focus on the perceived sin, Landen Roupp and other Giants pitchers had to step over so much that they professed to believe.

One ridiculous thing about this (there are many) is what he said about you having to look that up is mind-blowingly pretentious.

He’s a great regular season pillar if healthy. I just don’t see how he gets better on another team when he’s already in one of the best possible environments in recent NBA history.

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
I’d take Paolo over Chet. At least there’s a semblance of a chance he could lead a team to a conference finals. If Chet is your guy, you better have someone you can depend on offensively.

Let’s check in on the Giants… good lord

I wouldn’t want Chet as the centerpiece of any deal. Totally shrank in the big moments and a pretty dicey injury history.

Just based off twitter interactions when I was still on there, tonight’s misery couldn’t have happened to a more deserving NBA fanbase.

lol he didn’t even connect

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
It’s probably fair to say that Chet is the league’s most overrated player. Well, he was, anyway.

This young Spurs squad is mentally strong. That quarter could've gone totally sideways. If they don't win this game, the only way they don't win a title next year is if Wemby gets hurt (duh)

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
Thunder crashing the glass is the story. Crushing the Spurs on every miss. 26-12 rebounding advantage is wild

I was in the rafters that night. No one except Draymond played well for the Warriors, but Barnes seemed to bring nothing despite being the only healthy above-average athlete who got big minutes. Barbosa should've gotten most of those minutes tbh

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
It's hard to believe that Harrison Barnes is getting Game 7 minutes 10 years after THAT Game 7.

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
They're taught to sell it when they get hit in the face. Huge advantage if you can pick up a flagrant. Also I'm guessing it hurt a little
000
Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 31/05/2026
Draymond would've had to watch the next game from a suite at a baseball stadium if he threw the same elbow Wemby just did lol

Local media was bored by the Giants. Now everyone is repulsed. Boring might not be so bad after all.

Steve Berman @basportsguy.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
The Giants seem like their pregame plan is to find different, more interesting ways to lose so they can avoid the conversation about hip thrusts by lousy outfielders.

When Luis Arraez was growing up on the outskirts of San Felipe, Venezuela, only one other MLB player had come from his area: Marco Scutaro. As another undervalued contact hitter who had to fight for a pro contract, Scutaro showed Arraez what was possible. Their story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Rainmakers: Marco Scutaro showed Luis Arraez what was possible for a kid from small-town Venezuela
Arraez grew up watching Scutaro, who believes in his fellow countryman: "The Giants will love him and he'll stay here for a while."
