Why I’m Done With Football

Posted on September 10, 2017 by fromabrooklynbasement

Hello all. It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything on here—almost a year, in fact, since I begged my few readers not to vote for Donald Trump. We all know how that went, and over the last few … Continue reading →

2016 Super Bowl Pick

Posted on February 5, 2016 by fromabrooklynbasement

Two weeks ago, when I made my picks in the conference championship games, I was wrong about pretty much everything. I thought the Patriots would walk all over the Broncos. Instead, Denver’s defense, led by an otherworldly Von Miller, decimated Tom … Continue reading →

2016 Divisional Round Picks

Posted on January 16, 2016 by fromabrooklynbasement

As usual, my Wild Card picks last week illustrated just how little I know about football. I thought Chiefs-Texans would be a tight game; instead, it was a blowout. I thought Pittsburgh and Seattle would beat Cincy and Minnesota easily; … Continue reading →

2016 Wild Card Playoff Picks

Posted on January 6, 2016 by fromabrooklynbasement

Good lord, I hated this football season. My beloved San Francisco 49ers were a complete abomination—the laughingstock of the entire league. Two of my three most hated teams (the Deflatriots and the PEDhawks) are still Super Bowl contenders. (At least … Continue reading →

Niners Week Two Awards: Dawgs Weekend Edition

Posted on September 23, 2015 by fromabrooklynbasement

Now that’s what more like it! One week after San Francisco seemed to turn my preseason prognostications of doom upside down with a 20-3 stomping of the Vikings, we got a game that lined up a lot closer with my expectations. … Continue reading →

2015 Niners Season Preview, or “The Descent”

Posted on September 14, 2015 by fromabrooklynbasement

Who’s ready for football!?!? Not anyone who roots for the San Francisco 49ers!!! As I explained in the intro to my 2013 Niners season preview, I’m something of a fairweather football fan. I don’t follow college football at all, because a) … Continue reading →

2015 Wild Card Round Playoff Picks

Posted on January 2, 2015 by fromabrooklynbasement

With the Niners flushing their season (and most likely their hopes for the next decade) down the toilet over the past month, this is the least invested I’ve been in football in about five years. This weekend’s slate of games … Continue reading →

Niners Week Seventeen Awards: The Now Is Our Winter of Discontent Edition

Posted on December 29, 2014 by fromabrooklynbasement

I cared less about Sunday’s game than I have any Niners game since Jim Tomsula (our presumed coach-in-waiting) last was head coach (the final game of the 2010 season, another meaningless contest that the Niners won). I honestly don’t have … Continue reading →

Niners Week Sixteen Awards: The We’re Through the Looking Glass Now Edition

Posted on December 25, 2014 by fromabrooklynbasement

Editor’s Note: I refused to allow this shitty team to ruin my Saturday night, so I passed the recap responsibilities to my attorney, former guest blogger, basketball nemesis, and fellow suffering Niners fan Josh. I don’t want to steal his … Continue reading →

Niners Week Fifteen Awards: This is the End, My Friend Edition

Posted on December 18, 2014 by fromabrooklynbasement

Editor’s note: Since I couldn’t bear to watch the inevitable bloodbath that was last Sunday’s 49ers trip to Seattle (apparently it wasn’t that bad, but still), I called in another guest blogger: my buddy Matt. He’s my freshman year college … Continue reading →
