49ers rookie WR just became one of SF's most important players

-
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is still dealing with the lingering effects of a knee injury that originally sidelined him in Week 4 last season. He was absent from Wednesday's practice and could be out for an extended period. That thrusts rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling firmly into the spotlight. The early returns on Stribling were strong at training camp while the team went through its non-padded practices. Despite making a good early impression the plan never appeared to be for the No. 33 overall pick to have an outsized role in his first year. With Mike Evans and Pearsall ahead of him on the depth chart, the question with Stribling was whether he could nail down the WR3 job and take a majority of the snaps in three WR sets. Now that expectation changes for as long as Pearsall is out. There's no word yet on the exact timeline for Pearsall's return, but it's hard to be optimistic when reporting around the injury indicates the team is...

Andrea Pirlo is currently the head coach of the UAE's Dubai United [Getty Images] Andrea Pirlo has said he is no longer a candidate to coach the Italian national side following days of controversy over his ties to a Russian betting company. His appointment as Italy's next head coach had not been confirmed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) yet was being treated as all but certain. But over the weekend several Italian politicians criticised the FIGC's choice, noting that Pirlo, 47, had taken up a role as global ambassador for Russia's Fonbet last October. Hours later, Italian football was plunged further into crisis as it was reported by Sky Sport Italia that two other senior figures in the FIGC, Paolo Maldini and Leonardo, had decided to resign. Maldini was appointed FIGC technical director just over two weeks ago. He and ex-Brazilian international Leonardo, his adviser and former AC Milan teammate, had been tasked with finding a new head coach and rebuilding the...

I figured that since sports fans are as fanatical as comic book and pop culture fans that it’d be okay to sprinkle a little sports into the mix, and there are plenty of weirdos out there like me who dances between these worlds with ease; but folks, would it surprise you to learn that none of my San Francisco Giants panels were accepted? So, for your reading pleasure, here are San Francisco Giants-themed panels rejected by Comic-Con.
