Calm down! Brady wasn’t jabbing at New England with his retirement letter

Welp, we all knew it was going to happen, but Tom Brady’s retirement announcement still caught several people off-guard.

A Cowboys-49ers playoff game means so much more than just another wildcard

January 10, 1982, is the day it all started. Most longtime Niners and Cowboys fans will point to this day as the start of a rivalry that lasted the better part of two decades. The 1981 NFC championship game at Candlestick Park between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys was the beginning of an […]
