The Brian Murphy Blog
Murph: It’s been four years with Shanahan and Lynch, so where are we exactly?
I suppose I should start the Lightly-Read 2021 Jock Blog with a smoldering hot take about how the 49ers’ 6-10 season was a sign of decline, how a reboot is in order, and how Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch should be on the hot seat.
Murph: Reflecting on the biggest sports takeaway of 2020
Here it is, the last Jock Blog of 2020.
Murph: The story of Alex Smith is unlike any in the history of Bay Area sports
The 49ers play against Alex Smith this Sunday.
Murph: The 49ers’ lousy season has somehow gotten worse

Murph: As we try to accept Klay situation, a look to the Warriors’ future
This Jock Blog is being penned just 24 hours after the first phone alert that Klay Thompson — no, not Klay! — went down in a pickup basketball game in Los Angeles with what was feared to be a significant heel injury.
Murph: If you’re looking for normalcy in 2020, Tiger at Augusta should do the trick
Can’t tell you how many Jock Blogs in the last eight months have centered around the search for normalcy
Murph: Would the Giants really trade Brandon Crawford to Yankees?
What we need is a good old-fashioned Hot Stove League session.
Murph: We’ll never forget Kevin Cash’s decision in Game 6, but maybe that’s a good thing for baseball
Devoted readers of the LRJB (Lightly-Read Jock Blog, for you newcomers) could see this one coming like a Cody Bellinger two-cheeked swing for the fence.
Murph: I’m singing a slightly different tune after seeing the NL Designated Hitter experiment
To endorse the return of “No-DH” ball in the National League is not a knee-jerk thing, it’s not a howling repudiation of the designated hitter.
