Sporting News, The, Sept 16, 2005
What did senior writer Paul Attner witness during 200 days of reporting on the 49ers? Inspiration, as in the attempted remaking--with a new coach and the first overall draft pick--of what was one of the most storied franchises in sports. Humiliation, in the form of a P.R. man's stunt gone horribly wrong. Devastation, brought by the death of one of the team's players after a preseason game. The story ends where it started--in San Francisco, for the 49ers' regular-season opener. Of course, their story is only beginning.
Speaking of beginnings, Matt Crossman will tell you everything you need to know about the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup-including who will win it--before the 10-race sprint (or is it a marathon?) gets under way September 18 at New Hampshire. We'll also examine the free-swinging ways of hot-hitting Braves rookie Jeff Francoeur and treat you to a firsthand look at the greatest high school football rivalry in America (hint: It isn't in Texas).
