Speaking of UDFAs . . .

. . . the 49ers filled out their roster with 17 undrafted invitees to be cannon fodder for the rest of the team to beat up on. There may be a few diamonds in the rough. Chris Owusu, the Stanford WR, could bump Michael Crabtree off the roster. Kidding, but you never know. Harbaugh’s all about competition, and he pulled a lot of beef out of the chaff. Garrett Celek could push his way onto the team if Walker walks. I won’t bore you with the details of their excellent pedigree, because likely there are only one or two that make the taxi squad, and one or two who make the team. But here they are in all their glory . . .

    More from Barrows: – Whitner: “Moss hasn’t lost any speed, Goldson due next week”

    http://blogs.sacbee.com/49ers/archives/2012/05/whitner-moss-hasnt-lost-any-speed-goldson-due-next-week.html#storylink=cpy

    – “Whitner said he didn’t know if that means Goldson will sign the one-year franchise tag tender that was offered to him in February.
    – “The difference between then and now when it comes to Moss? Zero”, Whitner said.

    We don’t have the pencil neck Manning but Whitner praises the ‘long-strider’ Randy Moss and tells what it’s like trying to cover him. Sez it’s gonna help the running game.

    Del Mar I understand it was Chuck who hucked the lawn chair down the hill for +80 yards but is it true as Irish sez you hucked yer Barcalounger though a plate glass window after the Craig fumble ruining the Three-Peat? If it’s more than another vicious rumor being circulated by Irish then perhaps you will consider donating it along with Chuck donating the lawn chair to the Niner Hall of Fame Museum? If it didn’t survive the hucking then perhaps you would consider donating some of the plate glass window?

    But with Irish it’s hard to separate fact from fiction I realize.

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      I don’t know where Irish came up with that story, but I’ve never even owned a “Barcalounger.” But I can attest to the fact that the outcome of certain 49er games have sent me to jail twice, and the hospital thrice. I have the scars and broken bone x-rays to prove it. I passed on the tattoos while incarcerated.

      • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

        And that’s why for all yer anti-smithisms we can never dismiss you as a True Fan of the Niners. (Sorta like Chuck with his certain anti-QB Rants- different team tho- whose name we shall not mention, ha) Jail twice? That’s impressive! Hospital thrice? Wow, crazy stuff.. I’m impressed, serious.

        Naw Irish was kidding and so am I. I forgot it was our esteemed leader – teh Chuckster not yer guy Smithy- who demonstrated the proper technique in hucking lawn chairs and not you Del Mar. All good my friend.

      • Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

        In jail did you bend over, Dennis?

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        Bend over? No problem. I learned from the late, great Leslie Nielsen how to take showers in prison.

    Bazinga! Nippy getting a little saucy these days . . .

  4. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    Yeah, I was just make shit about Dennis. Dennis is a really funny guy, I just like to give him some grief everyonce in awhile. okay all the time. any Dennis, I apologize if I went overboard on the story!

  5. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    And Chuck, please fix the email thing!!

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    I still haven’t heard back from WordPress but i changed som more settings.

    Let me know if they have stopped . . .

    • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

      More more bogus emails as of all day today Chuck. But I did hear from Dennis or was it a cleverly disguised kinda spam? Hard to tell.

      Just kidding Del Mar!

    • philippinefan's avatar philippinefan says:

      “more more bogus…” Sorry Chuck that was supposed to read ‘NO more bogus emails…’

  7. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    No one has posted, so this is a test post to see if an email will go out. Make sure Dennis is the only one to get emails.

    • Still getting ’em, Kev. I know how we could make getting these e-mails fun — turn it into a drinking game. Every time you get an e-mail from Chuck’s blog alerting you of a new comment, you have to take a drink.

      I’d be posting comments faster than Warp 9. (Jim) Beam me up Scotty.

    From MATT MAIOCCO, CSNBA

    Smith spent a week in Southern California working with former big-league pitcher and pitching coach Tom House on the mechanics of throwing prior to the start of the 49ers’ offseason program. House has worked extensively with other NFL quarterbacks, including Drew Brees and Carson Palmer.

    • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

      Interesting. Can we now assume Alex will be a pinpoint accurate passer?

      • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

        Assume Alex will be a pinpoint accurate passer? Assume?

        ASS + U + ME = Alex throwing the ball with pinpoint accuracy.

      • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

        I’ll take that as a “NO”…vewy vewy quietly…

    In the interest of reducing the stress of worrying about the Mayan ‘end of the world’ prediction I’m posting this to consider. And it’s one Less reason to drink, right?

    A.J. Jenkins is gonna start running up “The Hill” in hopes of getting in shape?
    Fuck that. You guys need to see Frank. My cat has his own ideas on “A.J.”…
    First thought? All Jello. 😀

  11. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    WTF happened to this once great game of football that I was reared and nurtured on as a young child? The game I know and love is gone.

    • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

      The game has changed to match the woosey-ness of the times. With 16 Billion in the hole the nanny state California can’t afford itself anymore than the rest of the US can. But the woosey-fying regulations outta our betters at HQ will cease long long after the money runs out.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Don’t watch Dennis. How about you shut up?

    • Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

      How bout’ you muddle along with your blog w/o my witty and punctual repartee?
      That would be a challenge. You need me.

      Phil, you have to rub the lamp three times and say the magic words, “Alex Smith.”

      • philippinefan's avatar philippinefan says:

        Serious lol Grumpy. That;s why I’m going to take yer earlier advice, and be vewy vewy quiet and Not Mention the QB who shall not be mentioned..

        …Ah, the sounds of silence…

  13. Irish Kevin's avatar Irish Kevin says:

    So email still coming. Dennis, here I thought you were a class guy? JIm beam…really??? Jameson a nice Irish whiskey would give you some class!!🏈🏈🏈🍻

    Enough of these distractions, back to NASCAR…

    74 Laps to go… and now Bobby LaBonte brings out the the caution….there goes my ‘C’ driver…now Berger’s guy, “Smoke,” just took a dump in the pits. Welcome to NASCAR…

  16. Del Mar Dennis's avatar Del Mar Dennis says:

    Did I ever tell you guys about the time I met Jack Nicholson? Of course not. Haven’t had the pleasure. Jack’s the one guy I really would like meet. I think I speak for most everyone when I say, “Jack epitomizes the meaning of cool.”

    Set aside his three Oscars, easy to set aside, but Jack has “It.” “It” has been tried to be defined many a times in history with no definitive answer. There is no definition. You just live it. You just act it. And you just are it.

    Jack’s it.

    • Nipper's avatar Nipper says:

      What about Jack Daniels?

    • phil fan's avatar philippinefan says:

      Bogart was another one. Hemingway too. But yeah Jack is still cool and still around. Not many men like that anymore..prolly never were

      Now with the World Wide Spy Machine (I mean wwweb) filtered through google, facebook direct to big brother you can assume webmasters, everyone everywhere knows when you sport wood, curse the prez, wipe yer ass. The cumulative effect on football will be reflected when the refs call for the electronic coin toss at the beginning of each week’s
      NFL Virtual Football Game. Won’t that be fun?

      Nicholson would hoist another one at that….a drink or a middle finger or both. Up yer snooping ass dickwads!

      Actually it was just a pop quiz and you easily passed.

      For a scary minute there I thought Denny and I chased you off yer own blog for good leaving us two and Nipper to blather endlessly about ridiculous subjects. Scary

    Chuck what is WordPress saying about all the emails!!

    • philippinefan's avatar philippinefan says:

      I seen the “Check box” marked by default sometimes saying “Notify Me….blah blah”. I try to remember to uncheck it before posting.

    Nice article on LaMichael James from Barrows:
