Anti-gay reporter Roland Martin was at it again during Sunday night's Madonna concert (cleverly sandwiched between a football game) when the CNN political analyst took to Twitter to tell his followers to beat any guys interested David Beckham's H&M underwear ad. Behold: more ›

Possibly still crestfallen over the Niners' NFC loss, 22-year-old rookie defensive end Aldon Smith was arrested on DUI charges Saturday morning in Miami. According to the Sacramento Bee, the wasted 49er was swerving in and out of lanes causing other drivers to brake to avoid hitting Smith's red Mercedez. more ›

SFist's Daisy Barringer has stiff competition in the mourning game after little Johnny here shed tears of sorrow and confusion after the 49ers lost Sunday's NFC Championship game to New York. Is this a ploy by the kid's dad to get free tickets next season? We hope so. It's a wonderful plan and a perfect execution. (Except for the camera angle. Use horizontal when shooting video on your phone, folks!) more ›

Though he hails from a God forsaken area in the Midwest—presumably from some unsettling oddity like Kentucky, Michigan, or Orinda—49ers coach Jim Harbaugh had some radical words for Californians' sensitive feelings. After Chronicle staff writer Eric Branch asked Haubaugh what he did after this team's overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday, he responded thusly: more ›

Gratuitously coiffed marijuana connoisseur and two-time Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the San Francisco Giants worth $40.5 million, thus validating the hopes and dreams of little league Mitch Kramers everywhere. Lincecum, who might now be the most well-paid 27 year old in San Francisco, apparently turned down the team's offer of a 5-year, $100 million deal. more ›

During a suspenseful game that went into overtime, the New York Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 for the NFC Championship title. This means that, sadly, SF won't advance to the Super Bowl. "Thanks to two fumbled punt returns by Kyle Williams - one in the fourth quarter and the other in overtime," points out The Chronicle. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) You know how sometimes when you get what you want it doesn't feel real? Like, you're in a fog or a dream or underwater? That is exactly what has happened to me. After Saturday's emotional win over the Saints, I was depleted. Despite hours and hour of sleep, I didn't feel fully human again until Wednesday. And now it's Friday. And we're 48 hours away from the NFC Championship game; a game, let's be honest, none of us thought we'd get to this season. A game that's the biggest any of us have experienced since the 49ers lost to Green Bay in '97/'98. more ›

Behold! Another choice anthem about the San Francisco 49ers, "Niners in Paris" by Ashkon. The song spreads tukhus-shaking grooviness to and for while giving it up for the Niners. According to D Wizzle's World, "Ashkon uses the popular Jay Z and Kanye West song 'Niggas in Paris' as the instrumental for the track." Delightful. more ›

On today's edition of Homosexualizing the 49ers, we take a look at this week's cover of Sports Illustrated. Chortle. It looks like they're totally doing it. And before you come down on us for puerile humor, the editorial staff at SI knew exactly what they were doing. Of course they used this particular shot for a San Francisco-based team. Because San Francisco is full of gaybirds. Let's take a closer look, shall we? more ›

With the 49ers on the weighing heavily on the hearts of San Franciscans and other Bay Area ilk, it's high time for a rousing musical interlude, yes? Yes. And who better to bring you a sporty song during playoff excitement than Bailey. We're sure most of you have heard the ditty already, but here's the video. Among other things, it features 49ers fans, Candlestick, beer, a shiny black Corvette with orange rims, and excellent shots of San Francisco. Enjoy. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) It all comes down to this. 49ers fans have waited almost ten years for this game. Ever since the 49ers heart-breaking loss to Tampa Bay in the divisional game in the 2002 playoffs, all we've wanted is to see our boys in the post-season. To see them run out on the field in their red jerseys. To know that we have a team that deserves to be there. That has what it takes. That can win. more ›

Near popular paragliding spot Mussel Rock on Saturday, police arrested a man who was shooting at air gliders from his balcony. Authorities were called to the area after paragliding fliers reported "four or five shots" being fired at them. Bay Area News Group reports: more ›

We got a glimpse of the minor-league version of this quirky ballpark freebie back in November, but today the San Francisco Giants have revealed their updated, very orange take on the giveaway item. As previously mentioned, the first 20,000 lucky fans through the gates at AT&T Park on May 20th, 2012 will get to take home this bearded tchotchke, which they can then place lovingly in a garden, or on a shelf, or in an overpriced eBay listing. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) Free Life Lesson: If your favorite football team is playing at 10 a.m. on New Year's Day, consider going to bed at 3:30 a.m. instead of refilling your champagne flute, climbing onto the coffee table, and singing Aerosmith's "What It Takes" at the top of your lungs. Again. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) It's all come down to this. The 49ers must win on the road in St. Louis tomorrow to guarantee the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. A Saints loss to the Panthers in New Orleans would also give the 49ers the No. 2 seed, but since everyone is playing at the same time, the Niners can't take any chances. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) I knew the Niners wouldn't ruin Thanksgiving AND Christmas this year. I just knew it. There certainly was a lot at stake when they faced off against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, however. A chance at the No. 2 seed, beating a division rival, shutting up former 49ers GM Scot "I spell my name with one T' McClouglhan, and last, but the opposite of least: making all of my Christmas Dreams come true. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) Alright people. Here's the deal: There are two weeks left in the regular season. The 49ers can clinch the No. 2 seed in the playoffs if they win their remaining games against Seattle and St. Louis. Or they can clinch it if they beat Seattle and Atlanta beats New Orleans on Monday night. Either way you do the math, it is imperative that the 49ers win today. They control their own destiny, which is a luxury in the final weeks in the NFL, and either they win and earn themselves a first-round bye and a divisional home game, or they lose and … well, let's just not think about that. more ›

Like a clash between Tron and Endless Summer, these surfers zipped up electroluminescent wetsuits and hit some tasty waves in Bondi Beach in Australia this past November. According to Laughing Squid, the night surfing event was a promotional event by Strongbow Cider Australia. Nevertheless, it's still totally bitchin'. more ›

Over the next couple of weeks, were here at SFist will look back at curious stories and (more importantly) photos that made 2011 way boss. (Was it a good year? We think it was a good year. Sure, 2011 was a good year.) One person who stood out in 2011 was dreamy Giants closer Brian Wilson. Whether a side gig, a form-hugging spandex tudexo at the ESPY Awards, dining at Gary Danko, or endorsing Ed Lee for mayor, Wilson was everywhere. But. Did you know that, outside of the hoopla and his many bearded wannabes, Wilson is also a damn fine athlete. Of course you did. But did you know that he has a temper? more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) Today I feel like a petulant child. A petulant child who’s been given almost everything she’s ever asked for, yet is whining because she asked for another cookie and was told no. Should a child throw a temper tantrum because she wasn’t allowed an eleventh cookie? Probably not. But you know what? I really wanted that cookie. So, I am going to stomp my feet and cry and pout and I’m not going to shut up until I get three more cookies and the No. 2 seed in the NFC. more ›

(By Daisy Barringer) It's been six days and the San Francisco 49ers are still the winners of the NFC West and headed to the playoffs. WHAT? more ›
