The third 49er to just pack up and leave the team ditched yesterday- this time it's starting strong safety Michael Lewis, whose agent said there were just too many mixed messages (such as, we're going to work in somebody else and bench you) and their dignity and sense of decency were sorely affected. Ok I made up that last part.
But so what? When a veteran with a 1-year contract just goes "that's enough of this shite" you know there's plenty of guys that would like to be somewhere else. Maybe even Buffalo.
Lewis' agent: "people say Mike Singletary is a player's coach....good luck with that."
Oh! ow!! Now, coach Singletary IS a player's coach, because there isn't any other kind, but that's just semantics. Perhaps it was an anti-semantic statement. But we've often heard Coach Mike say "I don't want to get into Semantics," so somebody should call the ACLU and sort this out.
We've also heard him say, way too many times, "this will be a good move going forward." What is he, Toyota? When you've got only 38 points in 3 games, 'good moves' and 'going forward' are notional concepts, at best.
The upshot, or downshot (aim for foot), is that a rookie and a journeyman will be playing strong safety tomorrow just in time for the Atlanta Falcons to start sending everybody long. And that's the kind of day it's going to be for the 49ers.....loooooooong.
Coach Mike has the horses, but they can't get them out of the stable and away from their hay bins. Burp. Good news for you, Erk, you got a doormat contender here in your hometown. You can even see a game in person. Woohoo!
