From the outhouse to the penthouse the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in the playoff hunt a month after being on the brink of disaster. League MVP Deebo Samuel continues to impress. After a 2 month hiatus Kyle Shanahan has shown up for work with coherent gameplans. The defense has improved and Jimmy Garoppolo is doing just enough to help the team win. The 49ers have won 3 in a row and are tre...

After 393 days of futility the San Francisco 49ers finally won a home game! The Niners came out and established the run, committed to it, and stayed true to their identity en route to a 31-10 demolition of the LA Rams. Deebo Samuel and Jimmie Ward were the best players on the field, Jimmy Garoppolo was efficient, and Kyle Shanahan continued his ownership of Rams head coach Sean McVay.

Week 10 of the NFL was filled with blowouts and decisive victories. A number of games finished with double digit margins and were largely uncompetitive. Patriots are starting to assert themselves with a dominant win vs the Cleveland Browns. Packers pitch a shutout at home vs a returning Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. Chiefs wake up vs the downtrodden Raiders and destroy them on Sunday ni...

The season is officially in shambles for the San Francisco 49ers after a humiliating loss to their division rival the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. Even without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins the undermanned Cardinals still decimated the woefully inept 49ers in their home stadium. An embarrassing performance which should only intensify the heat on Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. 

With the season teetering on the brink the San Francisco 49ers answered the challenge and won a tough game on the road vs the Chicago Bears. Jimmy Garappolo played his best game of the season. Kyle Shanahan called his best game of the season. Deebo Samuel continues to be awesome and Elijah Mitchell provided a strong contribution in the run game to propel the Niners to a 33-22 victory on the road i...

With the season on the brink and coming out of bye week the San Francisco 49ers still couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. A litany of mistakes, poor execution, and bad coaching proved insurmountable for San Francisco in a emasculating 30-18 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in primetime. A season that began with Super Bowl aspirations has now become a lost season with no direction and a team...

Dave Chappelle had a comedy special titled "The Closer" and its sparked quite a bit of controversy. The LGBT community is none to pleased with the legendary comedians jokes. At the very least Dave has sparked thought provoking conversation with his audacity to have his own independent thoughts. Unfortunately many of the public isn't adult enough to understand that not everyone will always agree wi...

What a week in the NFL! Exciting games, excellent QB play all around the league, the separation between the contenders and pretenders, and head coaches behaving badly. John Gruden gets exposed as a douchebag amid several controversial emails dating back to 2011. His shocking resignation almost overshadowed a compelling week of NFL action.

Kyle Shanahan is too smart for his own good. He's so good he intentionally put his rookie QB making his first start in harms way on a repeated basis. Went for it on 4 4th downs and was unsuccessful on all of them. Left points on the field twice and put together a gameplan his team wasn't prepared to execute. The smartest guy in the room is now 31-38 and his team is on a 3 game losing streak. 

All is not well in 49er land but too many people are pretending that it is. Idiotic player personnel decisions, a losing record since 2013, ridiculous expectations, head scratching decisions from the head coach, no direction on the QB situation, are just a few of the problems facing the San Francisco 49ers. The lack of media accountability bothers me and the overall laissez faire attitude of the b...

In a new book titled "Its Better To Be Feared" it was revealed that the GOAT Tom Brady wanted to finish his illustrious career for his childhood favorite team, the San Francisco 49ers. 49er head coach Kyle Shanahan decided against it instead opting to continue forward with Jimmy Garoppolo in a move that can only be described as idiotic. 

Week 3 is in the books! 49ers come up short in a Sunday night thriller vs Green Bay. Missed opportunities and a sluggish start were too much to overcome as San Francisco falls to 2-1. Elsewhere an absolutely disgraceful coaching performance by Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy who set up his rookie QB Justin Fields for failure in Cleveland. Fields was sacked 9 times in a game in a appalling displ...

2nd week in the NFL is in the books! 49ers struggle mightily on offense in an ugly win vs Philadelphia. The greatest QB of all time continues to be awesome. On the flip side New York Jets QB Zach Wilson has an embarrassing home debut vs New England. Lamar Jackson shines vs Kansas City on Sunday night after a rough start. And much more on this episode of The Dion Gordon Podcast!

If there was ever a such thing as a win that feels like a loss its the San Francisco 49ers 41-33 victory over the Detroit Lions last Sunday. San Francisco dominated the game for 58 minutes but let up in the last 2 minutes to let Detroit make a game out of it. Season ending injuries to Raheem Mostert and Jason Verrett dampened what should have been a joyous victory.

AEW All Out was a complete success! All Out restored my faith in professional wrestling. The long awaited in ring return of CM Punk vs Darby Allin was a 5 star classic.

The momentum in pro wrestling is firmly with AEW right now on the heels of a some big names joining them and a landmark PPV that was the most fun I had...

The future is now in New England. Cam Newton has been released to make way for rookie QB Mac Jones. Cams future as a starting QB in the NFL is in doubt and it maybe due to his refusal to get vaccinated. 

THE REAL IS BACK IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING! After 7 years and 2766 days CM Punk makes his triumphant return to professional wrestling at AEW Rampage last Friday in his hometown of Chicago, IL. He gave an extraordinary promo and announced his arrival in WWEs newest rival much to the delight of wrestling fans worldwide. On the other hand WWE Summerslam in Las Vegas was a letdown. a series of disappo...

The battle for 49er QB supremacy continues between rookie Trey Lance and the incumbent starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo. Who will be the starter on opening day vs Detroit? That remains to be seen. As far as I'm concerned I've already seen enough from Jimmy Garoppolo and am more intrigued by the potential of Trey Lance.

The much anticipated Versuz battle between The Lox and Dipset lived up to the hype. An apology is in order for The Lox and how much I underestimated them. A landmark performance from Jadakiss was enough to overwhelm Dipset and win the battle for the Yonkers trio. Dipset couldn't match the energy that Lox were bringing and were left in the dust because of it. Overall tonight was a win for the hip h...

Hip Hop royalty on full display as veteran groups Dipset and The Lox square off in what should be a legendary battle. The two iconic groups will be playing their hits live at the Hulu Theater in NYC on August 3rd. The culture wins when we come together and pay homage to our elders who gave us so much over the years.

The confusing booking of Karrion Kross and Keith Lee. Goldberg returns to the joy and merriment of all the fans. And rumors about Daniel Bryan and CM Punk debuting in AEW!

Conservatives are mad about "Critical Race Theory' despite most of them not being able to define it. Republicans and Fox News have made this a talking point for aggrieved white people to be paranoid about. Why are so many people hesitant about the true history of our country being taught in schools?
