Well, the wait is (almost) finally over. the new-look streamlined 49ers open camp on August 1st at 7:00 pm pacific time. In these days of truncated preseasons and quick turnaround times, we have out first exhibition game on August 15th in Houston. The home preseason opener is Aug 23rd vs those lovely Cowgirls.
Two weeks of practice and instant season. Is it enough time to assimilate everything? Gosh, Wally! Who knows? There’s been enough blogticulation to fill 666 King James bibles, so I’ll leave that part of the story out, other than to say there appears to be little middle ground on what the future portends. I will say that Harbaugh managed to pull it off back in 2011 with an even smaller window. No reason to think these guys can’t get shit rolling quickly. Unless you subscribe to the myth that St. Jim is otherworldly.
As far as the season goes, you have the chicken-littles and you have the guardedly optimistic. No one is predicting a Super Bowl berth with the amount of talent that left, but many (including me) expect a playoff run. The team still has a lot of talent, and they have an experienced coaching staff. Defensively anyway. Then you have the crowd that seems to caper around gleefully predicting the long and hard fall to abject shittiness and decrepitude. No middle ground, no thinking that there may be a bump in the road. It is a decade of downtime. Jed screws the team into the ground for 10 years for some sort of ego bath. Got it. It had nothing to do with the fact that the former head coach was a major league asshole who alienated everyone in the building and took a strong team to be the bridesmaid, but not the bride. A team that went 8-8. Despite St Jim and all those guys that left.
I get thinking the team could possibly have a rough patch, but to devote so much time and energy to spreading the bile endlessly over months and months and ridiculing every move the team makes and inventing reasons for why shit went bad 2 years ago is baffling. The overarching need to get in front of the ‘they suck’ train is a mystery to me.
Like the crazy crab promotions at the Stick years ago (“We don’t do mascots. Please boo the crab!”) , there are people hoping against hope that the team crashes and burns, so they can project their hatred of the owner. A guy who looks and acts just like his predecessor, Eddie.
Forty Niners Forever 
Word.
Right. V and Bullit have been pains in my ass for years now. V and Spitty destroyed my first blog because I had no recourse to shut them up.
Anyhow, now that I’ve vented, I’m done with them fuckwads. They can all wallow in their self loathing as the team trudges on. They’ll feel real good about themselves if they crater.
How fucking sad is that?
Chuck I’m fighting with my better half to replace my worn out sofas with a nice red leather sectional right now.
What’s more important?
Man Cave leather or, who’s right?
We control only so much in this World.
9er fans are OK.
Fighting for Man Cave control needs support.
Agree to disagree with some.
We share an agreement as 9er fans, don’t we?
Winning good.
Losing sux.
No argument there.
The rest?
Open for debate.
Asked my Son to back me up.
Answer?
I got a wife of my own to deal with, you’re on your own.
WTF?
Are we not 9er united?
Safe to say, as my Son hauled away the old set.
Game ON!
Well, as far as couches go, if its for the man cave, that should be your call. In the living room? A much tougher sell. If you pull that off, that would be pretty rad. I smell concessions on other fronts, though.
As far as the Niner fan thing goes, I’m fine with most fans, either 3-D or here in blogland.
But the history with Bullit digging up 5 year old posts to throw back in epoeple’s faces, and his general childlike demeanor, well, fuck that. He’s not a fan, he’s a dickless troll. V? Nothing more needs to be said. Someone who devotes so much time and energy to post the same shit til time ends is baffling in the least. Spitty is just being Spitty. He wants people to react to his effluvium.
I know I spent too much time on the back-and forth with them, but isn’t that what this is all about?
I’ll maintain til my dying day that I didn’t start shit with ANY of them. I merely gave them back what they started. A dick is a dick is a dick. A troll is a troll is a troll. Niner fan or not.
Chuck I live in NFL shitville when it comes to 9er-hood.
I get your point, trust me.
We ain’t gonna agree on everything.
In Blogtown, a non-response can easily quiet the critic.
Feed & Fuel?
Simply being an East-Coaster here.
I can’t buy the fighting from within.
I fight enough as the enemy out here.
As far as the Mrs goes?
She lost already.
She just hasn’t realized it yet.
Football in September.
Seating needed.
‘Nuf said.
Gonna leave my Son standing for not siding with Dad.
At least for a few series ;-D
NJ49er, I’m new here so I don’t want to step on anyone’s feet, especially when it seems all you guys know each other and our on the same page. It seems a few of you have anger issues so I’ll try and be as careful as I can. I deal with a lot of fans of many different teams and many different sports and the majority will support their team regardless of what happened in the off-season.
What’s concerning to me are those ones who automatically call other fans haters, trolls and many other names for the mere fact that they see things differently than you. Some people just understand the concept of what works and what doesn’t work better than others and that doesn’t mean they’re haters or not a fan. Some search to find the kernel of truth better than others but that doesn’t mean they don’t love the team. It’s good to question the status quo because as I’m sure you’re aware the majority is proven wrong most of the time. You should maybe stop and listen and be respectable to one another rather than going on the attack because they’re saying something you don’t want to hear.
Just my two cents, carry on.
Richyb1 said it once, will say it again.
To each.
His own.
I’m a 9er fan.
I question Mgt at times.
Doesn’t mean I don’t support the guys wearing my helmet on Sunday.
Try getting ripped by said trolls for literally 8 years, Richie.
Yeah, I give back. Mainly because that’s how I live my 3-D life. I don’t start shit, but I don;t back down either. I don’t mind other opinions, and I’ll gladly discuss things rationally with folks. But if it gets to shit flinging, I’m happy to wade into the shit. Guys like Bullit live to catch people on things. hence his digging up of 6 year old posts to throw in people’s faces.
Sure, I’m also a little fast and loose with comments, but that’s what this is about, right? If we were all sitting in a bar talking Niners, someone would say, that shit ain;t right. Here’s the real deal. As a fan, I’d listen, and maybe learn something.
If it’s flame-city about how stupid I am, well, that’s where I’d, in real life, take issue and say ‘what the fuck?’ and maybe get back in their face. Since its all anonymous, some get their rocks off acting the bully.
Easier to refrain here Chuck.
Some folks I know wouldn’t talk shit to my face but, would do it here.
I draw my line here with 9er fans.
If you ain’t wearing my colors, you ain’t on my radar.
We can disagree.
Stop the insults.
Maybe things improve?
Ignore what doesn’t engage us maybe?
Seek an upside.
A broken clock as they say….?
Convince me you’re on my side.
I’ll listen to your POV.
Simple as that.
NJ, shangri la sounds great but you are overlooking one important point, Bullit is a huge Vagina.
12Th I treat him like I treat the masses here.
He’s a 9er fan.
As am I.
We can agree to disagree.
I don’t want to make it personal.
For me.
We’re all on the same team.
12Th I eat enough shit out here.
I just can’t shit on other 9er fans.
I’m the demon pod that landed in NJ as a teenager.
I’m hated enough already.
Fuk’m all.
I represent Red & Gold.
I can’t piss on my own.
Ok NJ, to be serious for a minute. When there is an objectional personality, such as Bullit, whose sole mission in life is to be “right” whatever the cost, interacting with that person becomes a tedious chore at best. Regardless of what colors he wears or team he supports he causes people to turn off. I wrote a few days ago, I will interact with any of them except Bullit. I consider it a complete waste of time as whatever is the topic of discussion is secondary to “winning” for him so it’s not genuine.
You can do as you wish, no harm no foul.
Enjoy the brew and sounds bro.
Berger it’s 3PM ET.
Me and the deck speakers are a 12-pack in.
150W of AC/DC Live.
Party starts early for a night shift guy on Friday.
Neighbor’s?
Fuk’m.
They’re still working.
Thunderstruck bitch.
Eat that!
Wish I was there!
Hah! Down with that!
Crank this shit up . . .
Yeah, time to let Bullit and Co. fester in their own shit.
These guys in their prime were hands down the most fun. Saw a ton of their shows. . . with Bon.
Haven’t seen ’em since. My loss I suppose, but Ill just remember them as I did in 1978 . . .
A guy who works with me is from Newcastle, England and grew up with Brian Johnson. I keep waiting for primo tickets to show up…
Hah! That wold be cool. Bats not seeing them at all.
Chuck, check the V filter for me, missing a post.
12Th I get where you’re coming from with Bullit.
He uses past comments to remind us of our opinions I guess?
Don’t know him any better than I know you.
Written opinions will certainly come off differently than verbal exchanges I’m sure.
He seems to me to be a very detail oriented individual.
Simply my opinion.
As a distant shore fan, I just can’t follow the carping.
I speak daily with an Eagle fan.
There ain’t nothing more controversial in my book than that.
He wouldn’t say shit to my face but, he sure would if he didn’t know me.
I stand up for Red & Gold.
As would fans of any other team.
It’s expected.
Being willing to stomach Bullit has no bearing on my fan worthiness NJ. I assure you I do my part in not only talking about, but tangibly supporting my team regardless of coach, owner, circumstances etc.
NJ- If you are a 12 pack in call me. I called you but the music must’ve been too loud. I love it! I wasn’t going to drink tonight but if you call I’ll have a shot and a beer with you. That should get me started!
Unca_chuck, I love your site.
Didn’t you mention there are some anger management issues on this site? You’re right, now get the fuck out of here.
Did you start drinking Berger?
No. I was just cracking myself up!
Sampling a new Band.
The Dead Weather.
Plenty of wattage required.
Not too shabby if you’re open to listening to your kids’ music.
Chuck your V filter is on the blink.
Yeah, found your post and released it, 12th.
Also richy rich is gone. He must have access to different library computers.
V doesn’t give up easily.
For history buffs…….remember those days before Bill Walsh at the start of the Eddie D years? One coach in my memory was Pete McCulley. Perhaps the spelling is incorrect. There were others.
I can remember those days somewhat, I just can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.
Weed
No, i would remember that. i gave it up over 20 years ago but am thinking of taking it up again. I got too many aches and I’m sure that would help.
He and buwwit will tot in hell felching each other.
He accuses me if censorship but it’s ok for Skeebs. Typical extremism in action
NJ- You’ve got a package coming. Here is a sample.
NJ- More sample. Yes, The Central Scrutinizer telling us about the perils of a career in music and why it should be outlawed. This one is called Crew Slut.
More sample. Steve Hackett’s one and only blues CD.
How ’bout another. This is what I think is the #1 tear jerker of all time.
Rookies report on Monday, 7-27. Veterans report Friday 7-30. This is the last weekend this year without football!
At last…
My name is V. It is short for vagina. I have 3.
He was in the psychic ward because he was hiding from the escaped goats.
Lol
I don’t know why.
How nice, a love song! I like a happy ending!
I have grandma issues.
you got that right piggy, Yeee Haaa
Oink!
Love the central scritinizer, Bergs.
At least I’m not a weasel, NoFear. You are king of the weasels. You couldn’t make a stand leaning on a tripod.
This song sums up about how I feel about the off-season. It’s a Bob Dylan song but I don’t think Bob is singing. This is a good version of this song. “I used to care but things have changed”.
Looks like Vernon and Sporano are working together nicely.
http://tinyurl.com/pwu82xx
We talk of the depth of coaching on D and forget Sporano is another ex HC with experience to draw upon for the O side of the ball.
Speaking of whiskey
That’s Bob, Bergs.
Oh, NoFear, you couldn’t stand for something if you were leaning on a tripod.
Minions? Lenniungs? Gawd, you and Buwwit are stuck in grade school. Does your husband watch football too?
