Here's todays sports wrap up...

-For the Niners, the big question is what to do now that Norv is gone. First up, who to replace him with? Ray Ratto thinks WR coach Jerry Sullivan would be the best choice. ...

-If you want to feel old, consider this: it was twenty-five years ago to the day that the Niners won their first Super Bowl. To celebrate, the Chron reprints stories about the game and the reaction from 1982. They also have some Herb Caen goodness. And finally, they catch up with members of the '82 49ers and detail all of the physical problems they're facing these days as a result of playing football. ...

So where are we in the whole Bonds on Speed story? According to the Giants, they didn't know Bonds tested positive at all which sounds kind of silly, now doesn't it? Barry also went out and defended Mark Sweeney, which is nice of him to do considering Barry threw him under the bus. ...

This is a huge victory in the same way it was a huge victory when all the slobs beat the snobs in those early 80's teen comedies.

With two minutes left in the game, Stanford drove down the length of the field only to have Spartan defender Rakine Toomes knock the ball from WR Evan Moore's hands. SJSU is now 1-1 and Stanford is 0-2. ...

You know how you have those old, comfy slippers that at one point were the latest in slipper accessories but they started to get kind of old and ratty and full of holes and you realize that there's way better slippers out there but you just can't get rid of those slippers because they're just so comfy and they always bring warm and fuzzy memories? Well, those slippers are J.T. Snow. And you just threw them out. Because late Wednesday night the Giants announced that they were not going to offer J.T. arbitration and so bid him adieu. To replace him, the Giants are set to sign ex-Padres 1B Mark Sweeney, a player we are excited about not one whit. ...
