Not going to bore you with a long post, but day 1 of camp is in the books, and a funny thing happened on the way to the cellar. The team was happy. Smiling. Having fun. For all the talk of Harbaugh and the record, he sure seemed to suck the fun out of the building. “Who;s got it better than us?” became a cliche that I’m sure the team rolled its eyes at. At least among the vets. The heavyhandedness is gone, and according to Matt Maiocco (another glad-handing media type looking for brownie points) the team seemed to be in great spirits and ready to take on the challenge of losing their Supercalafragelisticexpialadocious leader in St. Jim Harbaugh.
I mean really, the team HAS to hit the shitter because of the void left by that gimormous personality. Right. More like Ego. He placed himself into practice as a look-at-me-hang-with-the-guys type rather than be their coach. That’s fine and all, but not when the same guy that wants to be one of the guys suddenly says shit like no cards on plane rides. No loud music in the locker room. No fun other than driving all the players to distraction. You can’t play it both ways.
I said a couple days ago on this very bog that the players being happy campers guarantees zilch in the win column, but it does engender some ownership from the players to push the youngsters to get themselves ready for the bog-time. Harbaugh created and ‘us-vs-them’ attitude ward the front office, but he also put himself above the players by treating them like a college team and this grated on the vets.
I look at it through the lens of a successful coach like Bruce Bochy. He;s not a table-flipping bullshit flinging coach like so many in baseball. For all his country drawl and backwoods rambling lies a very acute baseball mind. He shoots straight with the players, and is forthcoming with the front office. He trusts his vets to hold the fort down, but isn’t afraid to do the necessary things to ensure the team puts its best effort out there. Behind the scenes. He doesn’t give semi-incoherent rambling pressers, or giving any rah-rah bullshit either. Tomsula strikes me a a more straightforward guy who will be in that mold rather than the hype generator that Harbaugh was. For all his coaching success, Harbaugh has one Orange bowl victory, and one NFC Championship to show for his chutzpah and bravado. Good luck in the Big House, Jim, but I ain’t gonna miss you all that much.
Forty Niners Forever 
Good music, I’m really digging this site! After 12 brewski’s last night Tony Romo was looking hot!

God, i love you tube
Just because it’s Sunday
Fuck, once again it’s hooked up to a playlist. Sorry guys
However, if you like Soul, R&B, and Rock, it was the blues and gospel that it all came from. Try the playlist. Of course all you guy know that already.
I was walking last night and heard from the pavement below… help me…I thought it was a mother fuckin bum, right??…that’s what anyone would thank. I looked down and it was my wife drunker than a piss skunk lying almost in the street, she twisted her ankle and it swelled up like a watermelon. Her high heeled shoe was in tat there old cement crack I had to leave it there after trying for almost an hour to pull it out. Ain’t that a bitch doctor said she couldn’t walk for two weeks, who’s going to cook for me and bring me a frosty cold one when the game starts?
Winder Muscle Shoals for who?
The recording studio?

NJ – Yeah I just thought of it because the Allman bros. were a part of that and whenever I think of Gov. Mule I think of them. Lots of real good stuff came out of there at one time.
Forget the Allman’s and Gov, for while let’s get down to sum nitty gritty.
V- definitely some good/fun shit
You know what tastes really good? Ocean Spray Cran•Raspberry juice. I didn’t know you could drink the shit without vodka. Learn sumthin’ new everyday.
Good stuff to flush you out. Lotta sugar though.
The screw that was surgically implanted in my foot nearly a year and a half ago has broken in half. I literally have a screw loose. If the shoe fits…
C’mon dennis you gotta be a little charged up about this years team. Fuck, no one really knows what’s gonna happen and that is the truth.
Getting struck in the testicles with a cattle prod couldn’t strike a nerve with me about this year’s upcoming team.
dennis- maybe this will help
Dennis, you complained about Harbaugh from the rooftops and he is gone, why the downer attitude?
A few weeks ago I had a party and this family of about thirty came over for sum live music and good old eatens. I was hungry when wifey got all da fixins on dat table and aint dat a bitto bitch that there family filled my kitchen, yelling and screaming like a bunch of old hooter hounds. I drank bout three beers before I got my plate in order. When dat family left my wife asked me, “Who were those people?” I said, “I don’t know” I thought they were your friends? She said no I thought they were your kinfolks?? Them their people fooled us out of our grass roots entertainment and country style chicken. I was thinking it was just like that movie Wedding Crasher showing a while back at Wilson Pickett’s drive end theater.
My wife asked me today, Do ye want sumthin deet? I told her my name aint deet. It goes both ways because I asked her ye got sum backer? She said you want Tobacco? I then asked her Deed ge git back yeet from town? She acted all educatted and said, Did I get back from the city? Yes I did. All these different talks makes me hungray and thristie for another coors light. Can wait fot dat old season to start I think the 49ers are gonna surpize sum folks.
Your wife? You should have stopped that failed attempt at a joke right then and there.
V never stops. He don’t know how.
This here old Del Mar Dennis is probably the town drunk that comes home every night at 3:00 and slurs da words when trips into da bedroom, “There’s the little lady….”
Wow. Stay away from mescaline, V.
Yeah, the comparison of the current team to 2003 is about the stupidest thing I’ve seen in print.
Leave it to Skeebers and his merry band of downers for hoping against hope that the Niners suck. And we get to read another 1,000,000 words about how Spitty isn’t going to watch or care about the team. Funny if the whole blog disappears amidst the solid play. And if they don;t?
Yay. They are cool for jumping on the hate wagon. Along with all the other sheep.
And NoFear, better my head in the sand than your up your ass. Then again, that’s the usual location.
Yeah, in 2003 they won 7 games. That’s two more than 2015.
At least now I have the hope of rebuilding, and rebuilding right. After 2003, the Herschel Walker trade wouldn’t have helped. College interns watching film are doing the draft prospect grading? Holy Suckamole, Batman!
You’d be a wild-eyed optimist in other places. They are referring to 2-14, RTF. Keep hoping for that draft pick. Look how well that works for Cleveland.
