SF may have a lack of talent but there is NO excuse in poor effort. vernon davis was luck that he Only got sent to the showers! he's luck he didn't land in the 5th row.
so what, he pulled his pants down at halftime and showed the team they were making asses of the 49er's and themselves. get over it. the next step for some of these guys will be out the door. samurai mike won't put with bad attitude or poor effort.

Do me a favor and watch the highlights of the game. Right before the half, J.T. Sullivan throws a pick that goes for a TD, tell me. Who is the only guy busting his ass to try to make the tackle?

Is that J.T, O'Sullivan busting his ass? He did that on the previous play they showed... his fumble. Trying to save his job, I guess. Didn't happen. One turnover too make for Mike Singletary.

The one right before the half, Vernon Davis.

the only thing messed up about him dropping his pants is that it was leaked out of the locker room.

you are right, that had no business making out of the locker-room.

IF you just took a stupid penalty and a HOF MLB was chewing your ass, would you be stupid enough to mouth off at him once let-alone twice?
i heard the SF beat reporter on the radio. he reported alot of laziness and "me first". davis is a major offender, singletary was not in postion before to do anything about it. he is now.

Fair enough, maybe the guy is a malcontent and he doesn't care about the team. Maybe Singletary is also taking a crack at one of the bigger/better names on the roster to serve notice to the rest of the squad.

As far as the other question goes, I think the majority of the players care. There is so much dedication that surrounds football, that I would think it would be hard not to care. But there is a handful of guys (and maybe Davis falls into this category) that don't give a damn about anything besides themselves. In the last couple of weeks I have seen Plaxico Burress, sign a very big contract and then miss a practice, a treatment and pretty much tell the Head Coach to go F himself. This while playing for a champion team who has a good shot a repeating. Pretty selfish, he bitched about a contract for the last 2 years and finally gets it. Then he starts pulling crap. I am sure there are many others.

Basically, nothing suprises me with these guys. They make lots of money and a couple of them constantly do stupid $hit on and off the field.

that's why the steelers got rid of that piece of crap. personally, i'd like to see guys like burress, k. winslow, c. henry and pacman jones run out of the league.
a lot of the problem is those BIG rookie contracts. vernon davis is prime example, #6 overall pick.

Singletary's shtick so far seems contrived to me. I could picture him rehearsing that post-game speech in the mirror at halftime. I think he's gonna be a horrendous head coach.

He played all those years for Ditka... I think he's using some of Ditka's schtick. Contrived? I don't know... but it certainly got everyone's attention. We'll see how much effect it had by seeing how well the Niners play for the rest of the season. If he can get everyone on board, he's not a horrendous head coach. He might just burn out, like Ditka did....

I'm a long time 49er fan (since John Brodie and the 60's). Had a great run through the 80's into the mid-90's. Finally got to the point where I could see a couple of games a year in San Francisco. I have always liked the 49ers.

Now, I LOVE the Niners.

Yes, the Yorks (the "owners") have really screwed up a good thing. Hopefully, they will keep Singletary to make up for all the crap they have pulled previously. The Niners have enough talent to be a .500+ team. Just get rid of all the pets (first-round draft choices that haven't produced - hello, Alex Smith). I'm glad Shaun Hill is back starting. We'll have to see if Mike Martz is still with them after this year. Very creative offensive coordinator, but some team may think he can be a head coach. He's the fourth offensive coordinator in the last 4 years, so it's not a surprise that the offense is a little confused.
