      Ex 49-ers Coach Walsh Dies At 75

      (Newser) - Bill Walsh, known as  "The Genius" in football circles for leading the San Francisco 49ers to three NFL championships, has died. He was 75. Walsh, who had been in failing health in recent months, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. Walsh was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993. He leaves behind an indelible legacy on professional football as a coach, teacher and innovator. He took over a horrid San Francisco team in 1979 and turned it into a dominant team in the '80s. Under Walsh's leadership, the 49ers won three Super Bowl championships and six NFC West division titles. During his 10 seasons as coach, the 49ers went 102-63-1. Walsh died of leukemia at his home in Woodside, California, with family members by his side. More »

      Green Tapped by Dolphins

      (Newser) - Prolific pretty-boy QB Trent Chief signed with Miami yesterday, escaping a youth movement in Kansas City that likely would have consigned him to the bench. The Dolphins will likely attempt to jettison last year's pricey signal-calling acquisition, Daunte Culpepper, who will make $5.5 million in 2007 and unsurprisingly would like to stay put. More »
