Then he ran into Bill Walsh’s West Coast offense and a San Francisco 49ers defense that turned ...Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Sam Darnold did not really know what to say.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The celebration started long before the Super Bowl did.

At noon Sunday, Seattle Seahawks fans stood on a makeshift pirate ship, sponsored by a random rum company, in a lot just east of Levi’s Stadium. More waved bright green rally towels and started “SEA-HAWKS” chants in a long line for the bar. They wore blue ...Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Perhaps posterity will see that the New England Patriots still managed 13 points and not give the performance the flowers it deserves.

New England Patriots receiver Mack Hollins has arrived to NFL games in some pretty interesting outfits.

His Fred Flintstone and Animal (from the Muppets) costumes worn during past pregame tunnel walks leap to mind.

Bad Bunny rescued the Super Bowl.

The first half of the final game of the NFL season was a low-scoring, nearly lifeless affair, but once Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio appeared for his much ballyhooed and endlessly analyzed halftime show, Levis Stadium came brilliantly to life.

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law left at that point and it was only a nine-point margin. Father-in-law and mother-in-law were out the door by the end of the third quarter. ...Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — For a week, the narrative took a holiday.

You know the one: the “Doom Loop.” The breathless yelling about a region in decline. A tale of a hellscape of smashed car windows and empty office towers.

The bad actors and cable news pundits have spent years dunking on the San Francisco Bay Area, treating this Pacific ...Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — They are not the infamous Legion of Boom.

All-Pros do not abound. Individual personalities lean more toward quietly confident rather than brash.
