Chris Borland and Dr. Bennet Omalu are right. Within America’s football-infatuated culture—I’m as guilty as anyone—we are all dangerously wrong.
It all started for me when I was 9 years old, shortly after the 1989 Loam Prieta earthquake. On the sidelines of a Cabrillo College football game, being played at Aptos High, due to damage to Cabrillo’s stadium suffer in the earthquake, that’s where I caught the bug of sports photography, and that is when I took my first published photo, a Seahawks player returning an interception for a touchdown. On a night where my dad gave me an extra camera to roam the sidelines and shoot alongside for one the first times at a game, it was where I realized I loved doing this. It was more luck than anything else that got me that shot, but it made me want to shoot more, especially football.
Two Hollister men were among four people arrested after a fight outside outside Levi's Stadium on Monday involving fans of the 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, according to the Santa Clara Police Department.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio offered a blunt assessment of how his starters opened their exhibition season in the 49ers' 17-6 win over Minnesota.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - The education of Terrelle Pryor as an NFL quarterback will include a tutorial by the last Raiders player to win the league's Most Valuable Player award.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - After the 4-month lockout last offseason, the 49ers' battle cry was that they were behind the rest of the league and needed to operate at 1,000 mph to catch up by the opening game.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Last season, the 49ers gambled and won by making it through the year with only three outside linebackers. They're not willing to take the same risk two years in a row.
ALAMEDA, Calif. - Miles Burris was watching the NFL draft with family at home in Granite Bay when he received the call telling him he'd be an Oakland Raider.
