Dickey Sports rap
Dickey: Haren deal shows Beane can see bigger picture
- Because Billy Beane made the kind of trade Brian Sabean should have made, the A’s have a much better chance of returning to the postseason race in the near future than the Giants.

Dickey: It's time for Yorks to sell
- The 49ers are falling apart as a team and as an organization, but there may be a saving grace for fans: Their troubles may finally force the Yorks to sell the team.

Dickey: Time to drop the ax on Nolan
- In the debate over the future of 49ers coach Mike Nolan, this is the key question: How stupid are the Yorks?

Dickey: Raiders appear to be in the right Lane
- The Raiders may not win another game this season, but, for the first time in five years, there is hope for the future because Lane Kiffin has taken firm charge as coach.

Dickey: Can’t count on a playoffs system to fix everything
- We may never know which team is really the best in college football this year, and isn’t that wonderful?
Dickey: This game will be big again — just not now
- One of these years, the Big Game will revert to the competitive rivalry it once was, but not this year. Cal will win again, probably by a lopsided margin.
Dickey: Something rotten in state of Raiders
- Even the Raider Nation is catching on after their ingenious team found still another way to lose against the Chicago Bears.
Dickey: Should Longshore be benched?
- As the Cal-Southern Cal showdown approaches, Jeff Tedford is still in denial about his quarterback.
Dickey: Greatness gone completely wrong
- The Raiders bill themselves as The Team of the Decades but since they got to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, this has been a lost decade. They got blown out in the Super Bowl and since have gone 17-55, worst in the NFL.

Dickey: A-Rod shouldn’t be highly regarded
- As Barry Bonds neared the career home run mark of Henry Aaron this year, many writers happily speculated that Bonds wouldn’t hold the record long because Alex Rodriguez would soon catch and pass him.

Dickey: Fans’ faith in Nolan unraveling
- When a team collapses, there are always two figures in the crosshairs, the coach and the quarterback. And so it is with the 49ers after their latest debacle.

Dickey: Cal alums should see big picture
- The sky is falling! The sky is falling! That’s the word this week on the Cal message boards as alums — mostly younger ones, I’m sure — have had the kind of hysterical reaction to the Cal football team’s two losses that you’d expect from supporters of the schools known as football factories.

Dickey: Let JaMarcus play
- JaMarcus Russell’s debut was moved up again by the Raiders’ latest loss, to Kansas City on Sunday. Not because Daunte Culpepper played poorly, but because the Raiders are again fading into irrelevancy. Soon, it will be obvious that there’s no point in giving the majority of snaps to either Culpepper or Josh McCown because they aren’t the club’s future.
