As you can see, I haven’t written for some time now. I had a bit of misfortune last year. I’m now rehabilitated from it and I will resume writing shortly.
I want to thank everyone who visits my blog site. Also a special thanks to those loyal readers who have built it into the success it is becoming.
This is my hobby. I’m not supported by advertisers and all costs are out-of-pocket. The site hosting per month is no more than I spend on lunch so I’m OK with it. In the past I’ve written for Yahoo, ESPN and on the Bleacher Report. Here I write what I want and when I want to write it; hence the name My Very Own Sports Blog.
I’m in the process of setting up the galleries and moving my images over to Facebook. My former image host kept increasing the fees as my traffic increased. I felt like a kid getting bullied for his lunch money. Ow, ow, my arm, stop twisting it. In a few days I’ll have images of the Niners games and many others moved over to my site’s Facebook page. You can navigate to it by clicking on the Find Us On Facebook button below.

 Forty Niners Used Pure Power In Their Victory Over the LionsThe Lions prolific offense was no match for the 49ers defense on Sunday night. Watching the Forty Niners play the Lions last night I suddenly had a deja vu feeling come over me. It was more than vaguely reminiscent of the feeling I used to get sitting at the wheel of that 3408 Caterpillar powered, black and dripping with chrome, extended hood Peterbilt I used to have. As I would mash the gas I’d feel the brute power of the [...] |
 Football Night In America Hosts The Niners and Lions In A Grudge MatchDelanie Walker makes the game winning catch in the final two minutes of the game Football Night In America hosts the Niners and Lions in a grudge match tonight. Last year the 49ers went into Ford Field as underdogs, upset the Lions and ruined their chances for a perfect season. The post game fracas between Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz seemed to overshadow the game their two teams played that day. Both teams left it all on the field and the [...] |
 Raiders Claim Former 49er Cornerback Phillip Adams Off WaiversPhillip Adams tackles Kendall Wright of the Titans On Friday, August 31, Phillip Adams was waived by the Seattle Seahawks as they made their roster cuts to make their 53 man roster. On Saturday, September 1, the former 49er cornerback was signed by the Oakland Raiders. Adams was the 49ers seventh round pick in 2010. Pre-draft he was rated as the defensive back steal of the draft by the Dallas Cowboys scouts. Raider management staff and fans should remember Adams well, as he cemented his place [...] |
 Colin Kaepernick Restores Excitement To The Forty Niners OffenseColin Kaepernick enroute to a 131.2 quarterback rating against the Chargers Great quarterbacks aren’t coached. They are born. They are elite quarterbacks from within their souls. No amount of coaching can turn a mediocre quarterback into an elite quarterback. Colin Kaepernick was born to be the next elite quarterback for the 49ers. As a youngster Kaepernick won many punt, pass and kick contests, despite not being much of a kicker or punter, only average. He won because he could throw [...] |
 San Francisco 49ers Not In The Pro Football Hall Of Fame That Should BeSome years back, when I was writing for a nationally renowned internet publication, I accepted a writing assignment. That assignment being to list 5 San Francisco 49ers not in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame but who should be. Just after accepting that assignment I was involved in a car accident. I was told my by doctor to stay off the computer until my neck healed. I know what you’re thinking about excuses, and this one stinks too, but it’s [...] |
 The San Francisco 49ers Break Ground For New StadiumJed York and Santa Clara city officials break ground for the new stadium At work I was browsing through the American Society of Civil Engineers monthly publication and found an article that interested me, not just for the engineering aspect, but for the subject matter of the project itself. It was a narrative of the planning process for the 49ers new stadium. It answered a few questions and reservations I had regarding the team’s move from San Francisco to its [...] |
 49ers Wide Receiver Dontavia Bogan: A Diamond In The Rough?Dontavia Bogan on the sidelines with Nate Byham As the NFL draft quickly approaches there are the usual flurry of mock drafts by paid analysts and amateur sports writers alike. Some of those mock drafts have the 49ers picking a wide receiver with the first or second round pick. Fans on social media sites are also proclaiming their favorite college receiver, or hybrid tight end should be selected with those picks. Me I like Brian Quick out of Appalachian State, for my second round receiver [...] |
 Forty Niners Lose Manning Sweepstakes, Settle For Consolation Prize Alex SmithAlex and I outside just clowning around and talking football Recently I took time out of my busy schedule for a photo-op with the Forty Niners quarterback Alex Smith. Ever the consummate team player and company man, Alex was clad in red and gold on this day too. As we sat there I tried to promote some conversation. Alex, you were a free agent for more than a week. It seems the only team interested in you was the Miami Dolphins, who quite frankly, [...] |
 The San Franciso 49ers: Manning, Manningham And Moss, Oh My!Trent Baalke is orchestrating the resurrection of the 49ers dynasty Pay attention to the man behind the curtain Forty Niner fans. He might not know the way to Kansas, but most assuredly he knows the way to the Super Bowl. When Trent Baalke was named General Manager, only days after Jed York proclaiming that an extensive nationwide search would be conducted, many cried out collusion in response to the rapid naming of Baalke as General Manager. Jed York had said his first task in resurrecting the franchise was [...] |
 Four In-house Free Agent Priorites for the San Francisco 49ersAlex Smith scores the go ahead touchdown The San Francisco 49ers currently have a total of 19 free agents on their 53 man roster. That’s 36% of the team for you mathematicians. Normally a little over one third of something is not an alarming number, until you consider that if you add only four more to the list you are approaching half the team. It’s an alarming number of possible roster spots to fill, for a team that nearly went [...] |
