Anquan Boldin
Hold on, wasn’t the NFL’s new league season, aka Christmas morning on 5-Hour Energy, supposed to start today at 1 p.m.? Judging by the flurry of activity Monday, it seems like NFL teams didn’t get the memo. And once again, the 49ers were right in the middle of it.

Spring training results don’t mean anything, right? Sure, except when there aren’t any results at all. Not in the 0-for-4 sense, mind you. Or the five-earned-runs-in-two-plus-innings sense, either. No, we’re talking as in no results, period, sense. As in not playing. Read More

Alex Smith
Alex Smith stepped into football’s biggest shoes when the 49ers selected him with the NFL’s No. 1 overall pick in 2005.

But throughout his eight years with the club, he embodied the purest ideals of team sports. Read More
