Why the All-Star Fan Vote needs to stop being so significant

Aaron Rodgers won, but the Falcons won’t let him do it again
Aaron Rodgers emerged from Sunday’s battle with the Dallas Cowboys at Cowboys Stadium victorious, but just barely.

3 ½ years ago, a skinny, 18-year-old kid from Greece was drafted in the middle of the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. Coming into his rookie season, nobody expected anything particularly special from the kid. He simply looked too thin to compete in the physically demanding NBA. Fast forward […]

Chip Kelly’s Finally Gone!
It was announced following the 49ers’ Week 17 loss that head coach Chip Kelly, along with GM Trent Baalke, was fired effective immediately.
