The Dion Gordon PodcastVaya Con Dios (49ers lose NFC Championship Game)Sometimes I don't want to be right. I wanted Jimmy Garoppolo to be a great QB, he just isn't. I always had the sneaky feeling that he was going to be the one to ruin everything with his disappointing and inept play and that came to fruition in the NFC championship game. The San Francisco 49ers blew a 10-point lead to lose 20-17 to their hated division rivals, the LA Rams with an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl at stake. The time is now to move on from Garoppolo for the 49ers.

He's so good he intentionally put his rookie QB making his first start in harms way on a repeated basis. Went for it on 4 4th downs and was unsuccessful on all of them. Left points on the field twice and put together a gameplan his team wasn't prepared to execute. The smartest guy in the room is now 31-38 and his team is on a 3 game losing streak.

The Dion Gordon PodcastThe State of the 49ers (49ers vs Seahawks recap)All is not well in 49er land but too many people are pretending that it is. Idiotic player personnel decisions, a losing record since 2013, ridiculous expectations, head scratching decisions from the head coach, no direction on the QB situation, are just a few of the problems facing the San Francisco 49ers. The lack of media accountability bothers me and the overall laissez faire attitude of the bay area fans is annoying.

The Dion Gordon PodcastAmazon is Modern Day SlaveryAmazon warehouses are the epicenter of inhumane treatment and disgusting working conditions. Attempts to unionize have been met with much resistance and propagandist tactics from Jeff Bezos and his minions. Workers at the "fulfillment centers" are subject to degradation with regularity. Urinating in water bottles and defecating into bags doesn't reflect a positive work environment.

Dealing 2 first round picks and a compensatory 3rd to move up to the 3rd pick presumably for a QB sent shockwaves throughout the NFL landscape. With Zach Wilson likely off the board, Mac Jones is now the likely choice to be the next face of the franchise.

The Dion Gordon PodcastCancel CultureThe sensitivity level in America is at an all time high! Outrage over fictional cartoon characters and childrens books is the hot topic of conversation right now. Cancel culture is defined as a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or political circles. I personally define it as super woke people with too much time on their hands.

Packers decimated the Rams to move on to their 9th NFC title game amid the strong play of presumptive MVP Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson commits a critical error at an inopportune time to ensure a Buffalo victory. No Mahomes, no problem. KC holds on to beat Cleveland even without their star QB. And Tampa finally beats New Orleans behind their defense, the GOAT Tom Brady, and the ineptitude of Drew Brees.
