Gee, ol’ Jimmy looks like he wants to step in a pile of shit again as he says he’s ‘disappointed’ about Vernon Davis and Alex Boone not coming to the madatories. He said “(It’s) not the decision that I envisioned being the 49er way.” Beyond the fact that Aldon Smith and Chris Culliver would not appear to be following that path either, what’s your point, Jim? The path of the righteous is beset by many pitfalls? Besides, ’49er Way’ is the path from the locker room to the practice field, so let’s count how many others missed travelling 49er Way.
Stevie (Wonder) Johnson has a sore hammy and missed practice, Michael Crabtree is trying to stay off his feet as much as possible for fear of using and damaging them. If he could walk on his hands, I’m sure he would. Frank Gore, Juston Smith, and Grand Theft Auto V star Chris Culliver also sat out the practice as they are apparently too valuable to trot out there and risk getting turf toe or grass stains.
Which is why it seems pretty stupid for VD and Rhino to even hold out of these. To piss away what amounts to a year’s salary for most of us regluar folks (shit, VD has already snubbed $270,000, certainly not my tax bracket) just to make a point seems ludicrous at best when you can claim injury and hang out in the hot tub.
But who am I to quibble about the myriad ways athletes can be stupid, vain, clueless, and obtuse? Football is a brutal sport that leaves broken bodies and spirits in its wake as the juggernaut rolls along. So, the impetus is to get what you can when you can. In VD’s case though, the 49ers HAVE given him just about everything possibe. He sighed a 5 year/$23 mill deal in 2006. After 4 years of that (or $18.4 mill), he got his 5 year/$37 mill deal. So, to date he’s received about $46 million from the team for services rendered. Yes, it was a front-loaded deal. Yes, he’s one of the top TEs in the game.
No, VD doesn’t ‘deserve’ an extension. Why? Because HE signed the deal. He was PAID as one of the highest TEs coming out of college, and after his scuffling through an injury-riddled seasons highlighted by fights with his own teammates and a ton of stupid penalties, he got his shit together (Sing) and got his 1st extension, which made him the highest paid TE AGAIN. Play out this year, then maybe we’ll talk. Problem is, VD KNOWS that Crabs is up for review. He of the 6 game holdout to start HIS career. He’s trying to make bank before Crabs does. Frankly, at this point I could see them both gone after this season.
Regardless of how well VD has done (and he has done very well these past few seasons), VD has little leverage here. The Niners have enough at the WR spot to cover for VD should he hold out further. I seriously doubt he misses any real training camp, but if so, I really would start lining up trade partners. If he’s so self-absorbed to put himself in front of the team again, then he should go.

BLEEEP! This one’s on you, Nipper.
You still haven’t told me what rights you’ve lost under Obama, NoFear.
What rights have I lost? Surely you jest. Where do I begin, with my right to buy the insurance I decide best suits my and my family’s needs or none at all? Hows about starting off with the Constitution. Amendments 1-10 aka _the Bill of Rights_.
free speech, and various other freedoms protected by the first amendment, right to protest, be a combat veteran or criticize the government without being labelled a terrorist, etc.
right to bear arms, and various other freedoms protected by the second amendment, various weapons restrictions and restrictions imposed on ammo and accessories and magazines,
protection against unlawful search and seizures, and not have my medical records digitized and turned over to the government, or my phone, or my email, or where and when I drive my vehicle, and other forms of domestic spying on citizens without cause, and other violations of the fourth amendment,
due process guaranteed by the fifth amendment,
I’m tired now, the list is long and getting longer by the day. Get your head out of your ass and look around for yourself. The liberal media is not your friend.

Do you live in Canada? Gun laws are weakening every day in this country. No meaningful gun legislation has passed anywhere except for a few big cities in the past 5 years. And that certainly doesn’t mean where you live. Unless you live in Chicago. Which is highly doubtful. Who’s taking away your right to be a vet? The SPCA? Do you always jump at shadows? Black Heilcopters? As far asn the ACA goes, cheaper insurance is a real bitch, isn’t it? Hate to take away your right to waste your money. Please tell me you are one of the 0.00003% that pay a higher rate. Boo hoo. This is what you rail against? How dare the government help the poor in this country. Please. Get a fucking grip.
All that other shit was part and parcel of the Patriot Act, you commie. Remember Uniting and Strengthening America? When did the Patriot Act pass? Hmmm. I think it was 13 years ago.
BTW, I don’t listen to any national news outlets. There are many ways to gather information. Unlike you and your master Rupert. You mimic their shit so much, it’s hysterical.
Side note, did you like Dick Cheney blaming the Iraq war on Obama? FOr 7 years, Bush did a masterful job of killing our troops and destabilizing Iraq, while Obama screwed up by getting them out of harm’s way? You ain’t drinking the koolaid, you are drowning in it.
It’s like Ollie North railing against negotiating with terrorists.
“When I did it . . .” Ding ding ding! Winner winner chicken dinner.
Coke-fueled death squads, anyone? I could go on all day, zippy.
And, as a retort, we’ll get the Lib Media socialist agenda claptrap that the grossly uninformed spout. If you thihnk you’ve lost any rights in the past 5 years, then I can’t help you. You’ve gone off the deep end of reality.
I love that NoFear just listed some of the bill of rights and then told Chuck to pull his head out of his ass. That’s just about the right wing’s entire game. Cite the constitution and then insult those you disagree with. That’s Fox News in a nutshell.
Lets be fair and balanced.
BLEEP IT!
WOOF!
Personally, I think changing the Redskin name would be wrong. I kind of liked it when you could call anyone anything you wanted all you needed to do was back it up. It’s what makes us who we are. And, there is no politically correct way to change the way people think. I am still pissed about the Stanford Indians name change, now we are a bird that doesn’t really live in the area and a stupid tree.
Actually, Snodfart is the color Cardinal, not the bird. As in Cardinal red.
That’s why they are the Stanford Cardinal not the Cardinals.
lol. that’s just plain stupid if you ask me. Red is fucking red. And, there were lots of indians in the palo alto area before the stinking long-knives drove em out.
Well, if there were actual indians on the team, the ‘backing it up’ part might make sense. Even one. There ain’t, so it’s still a slur that a lot of folks don’t cotton to.
As I’ve said already, I don’t give much of a shit what they do, but I get why some folks are pissed off about it.
Shit, the Washington basketball team changed their name because ‘Bullets’ was too violent? The San Jose Sharks, when they did a fan vote on their name. vetoed the Blades because it sounded to gang related. Didn’t hear that about the New York Jets, for all you West Side Story buffs. The Jets of course squared off against the . . . Sharks.
Well, the ‘Skins lost their trademark, so anyone can use it now. Doesn’t look like Daniel Snyder is going to do anything re the name. Maybe he should call them the Washington Zionists.
Or, in a nod to Kinky Friedman, the Washington Jewboys.
Anyone see the Jersey Boys? Yet……
Jew joke..
What’s the difference between a Jew and a Canoe?

Interesting discussion regarding the name ‘Redskins.’
I think the Washington team will eventually drop that name, and then future generations will be perplexed at what took so long to make the change. It’s an obvious racial slur.
Maybe in the future the Native American tribes will be better at uniting politically. ‘Divide and conquer’ has been used against them over and over.

I think we should all make racist jokes just to piss Del off. And I think Chuck should let it slide for a while to further infuriate him.
Sorry, but no.
