Lavelle Hawkins was in town this week to visit family and friends during the Tennessee Titans’ bye week. The 26-year-old Edison High and Cal product is in his fifth season with the Titans. This season has been especially frustrating as the receiver has been activated for only three games. “We’ve had some injuries and [...]
Edison High graduate Lynell Hamilton played college football at San Diego State. So, the 26-year-old former member of the New Orleans Saints witnessed first-hand the iconic status former Chargers linebacker Junior Seau had in the city. Hamilton’s favorite restaurant in San Diego is Seau’s, a Polynesian surfer sports bar. I’ve been there. It’s great. Seau [...]
Junior Seau was one of my favorite football players at my alma mater USC. He was one of the best linebackers in the NFL in his era. Word that he committed suicide was a shock. He seemed to have so much going for him. But we never really know the story behind the scenes of [...]

In retrospect, we were lucky to get caught in traffic. My dad gave my wife and I his season tickets for the 49ers-Raiders preseason game last Saturday. My wife had to work that morning and we weren’t ready to leave Stockton until about 2 p.m. I knew it would be a close call making the [...]
I guess I like the choices the 49ers and Raiders made in the second round of the NFL draft. It’s such a crapshoot. Who knows if Colin Kaepernick ever will be the franchise quarterback San Francisco has yearned for since the retirement of Steve Young. I believe the Raiders made a solid pick by taking [...]
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has a face any poker player would love to have. Expressionless. Emotionless. Great if you’re bluffing Phil Ivy but not if you’re an NFL quarterback. Cutler received a storm of criticism from fans and NFL players when he didn’t play in the second half — except for one series — because [...]
The Raiders have fired head coach Tom Cable, making him the once-proud franchise’s eighth coaching casualty since the team returned to Oakland in 1995. Under Cable, the Raiders showed progress finishing 8-8 this season, their best record since 2002. Former Pacific quarterback Hue Jackson likely will succeed Cable. Jackson was brought in this season to [...]
Jim Harbaugh coached the final minutes of the Orange Bowl like a man who doesn’t fear retribution at the college level next season or any time soon. In the final minutes of Stanford’s impressive beatdown of Virginia Tech, the Cardinal changed its offensive formation five times on the same play before snapping the ball. The [...]
