What is there left to say about Jerry Rice? The man came from a small Division 1-AA college (Mississippi Valley State) to set all kinds of records in the NFL and is the greatest wide receiver of all time (apologies to Randy Moss, the Mothership and a certain website named after headlines, but you’re just wrong and no amount of stat manipulation can convince me otherwise). The man is a legend and it’s fitting that…
Look we all know Joe Montana was probably the perfect QB. Not only could he play the position better than anyone else (sorry Tom, it’s true) but “Joe Cool” had Q rating through the roof, making him one of the biggest cross over starts of the 80’s. He also had this “All American” vibe that everyone young and old craves. Joe Montana’s wife Jennifer Wallace Montana met him while filming a Schick commercial in 1985…
Growing up, Steve Young was one of my favorite players. Since my local team was no good (Falcons), just like any normal kid I rooted for the team that won. With the next to unstoppable Young to Rice combination, the 49ers did just that. When they finally won the Super Bowl in 1994, I was elated. It probably also didn’t hurt that Young was from my home state of Connecticut. As time went by and…
During Colin Kaepernick’s rocket to the top of the NFL heap, we’ve learned a lot about him on and off the field. We’ve all heard about him writing a letter saying he would be the QB of the San Francisco 49ers, and that he’s been involved in a turbulent relationship with a scorned ex girlfriend since taking over the starting QB job. However, another interesting angle on the Colin Kaepernick story is his childhood. Colin…
This is an old story but one that can’t be told enough. My initial reaction after reading about Frank Gore’s girlfriend trouble was basically, “Yup,… I can totally see that happening.” I mean Frank is from the U after all, so I’m sure what we are about the rehash is a common occurrence on a Saturday night down in Miami. MediaTakeOut.com was the first to run this story, and we gotta say,… good luck trying…
There are a lot pun related names for the upcoming big game, with HarBowl probably being the one you’ve heard the most (and whoever came up with Breaux Bowl is just the worst human being alive… just awful). John and Jim Harbaugh will become the first two brothers ever to face off against each other in the Super Bowl. Naturally, their family story will be a focus in the two weeks leading up to the…
UPDATE: 01/15/2013: We told you we weren’t entirely sure of their status, and we had good reason to think so. It appears Colin Kaepernick’s girlfriend Corban Fennell is no longer his girlfriend. The couple apparently split in late 2012, which coincides nicely to his ascension to the national spotlight since taking over the 49ers. The most commonly repeated rumor online suggests that Kaepernick broke up with his girlfriend a week after his first NFL start….
