So what happened over the weekend in sports? The Raiders looked impressive, the 49ers not so much. In baseball, the Giants played some of their best baseball of the season while the A's played some of their worst. We, however, missed it all as we got suckered into the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on TNT and spent most of the weekend online debating the question of who would win a fight between Dumbledore and Gandalf. For the record, Gandalf totally would--Dumbledore just helped defeat some wizard who looked like a snake. Gandalf helped defeat a giant, flaming eyeball. Now onto the sports more ›

The Raiders have a new QB, at least for the moment. That QB is Daunte Culpepper, Randy Moss' ex-ball chucker. He had a little tryout for the team yesterday and it went so well, he was signed. Which is one way of looking at it. The other way of looking at it is that a deep connection was made between two desperate entities as Culpepper came in overweight and was said to be "spotty" with his passes. Culpepper is a pretty good fit as current Raiders QBs Josh McNown or Andrew Walter kinda suck. He's expected to keep the chair warm until first round draft pick JaMarcus Russell is ready to go. more ›

Remember how we said the Rai-duhs weren't going to release Kerry Collins? Oops. Yesterday they officially released Collins in an attempt to save the Raiders 9.1 million against the salary cap. We had actually thought Collins was that much safer because of the new CBA which raised team's salary cap to $102 million and gave the Raiders more money, but we were wrong. more ›

Tomorrow, teams in the NFL have to announce whom they're keeping and whom they're releasing. After that happens, it’s free agent signing time. So Tomorrow is the start of football's Hot Stove Heater, or whatever it is they call it in the NFL. Yep, it's the time of year where one can sit around and dream up any ole thing (Daunte AND T.O. to the Rai-duhs!) even though it'll never happen and only makes people extremely disappointed when it doesn't happen. See Giants fans still better that the Giants never signed Vlad. As much as we love all this, we much prefer baseball's free agent dreaming as the salary cap weighs way too much in all of this and let's just say SFist barely made it through Physics for Poets. This year we find the Bay Area teams at opposite sides of the salary cap spectrum. The Niners got rid of some deadweight (like Ahmed Plummer) and are rolling in dough. That sounds great except the Niners front office still appears to be Dysfunction Junction and unable to agree on much of anything. Good luck with that, Niners fans. more ›
