This past draft, Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech dropped to tenth, and the San Francisco 49ers thought they were getting the deal of a lifetime. Many speculated that he should have gone much higher, at least at number seven. Instead, the Oakland Raiders choose wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey with their seventh pick, surprising everyone. Al Davis is known for his random, weird decisions, though, so I guess none of us were too surprised.
Now, the 49ers kind of wish they would have passed on Crabtree as well. The rookie, who hasn’t even played in an NFL game yet, is demanding a …read more

The 49ers have decided that they don’t want to draft quarterback Matthew Stafford because he didn’t want to open up about his parent’s divorce. Stafford was asked about the divorce when talking to the team psychologist.

I have no idea what this would have to do with football. Seriously, do you think other teams are going to use this as some kind of defensive strategy? I can just see it now. Stafford goes back to throw, has a man open, and someone yells, “Your mama is a divorced ‘ho!” and the ball goes completely out of bounds.
Or, …read more

Oh those 49ers! First we hold our breath thinking Kurt Warner might end up there (or maybe I was the only one holding my breath), and now there’s a rumor that Terrell Owens could go back there.
AGAIN.
At least, that’s the public stance. The private one, according to ProFootballTalk.com was that they have “zero interest” in bringing T.O. back.
It’s kinda like breaking up with someone who treated you like crap and then saying years later that you wish them nothing but happiness.

Apparently “throwback” means lip hair to the San Francisco 49ers. In their upcoming game against the Redskins this weekend, they will not only wear the old 49er uniforms, but they will also grow mustaches for the game.
A little Ron Burgundy action perhaps?

Personally I love the idea of growing mustaches for a throwback uniform day. If you can’t get into the playoffs the least you can do is get publicity for your team by growing facial hair.

Move over, Sarah Palin. Step to the right (and yes, we mean it that way, too) Hillary Clinton. Another chick may have her eye on the executive branch.
Of the NFL, that is.
The buzz around the City on the Bay, the one where Tony Bennett left his heart (and no one has found it yet?), is that the 49ers may want the soon-to-be-erstwhile Secretary of State at the helm.
Condi hearts football and will be a first down or so away from San Francisco when she returns to academia at Stanford in January.
Does this mean George W. has a shot at the Dallas Cowboys if Jerry Jones, …read more
