  Yeah, that was awesome. Boy, he was PISSED OFF! Did he almost blow the microphone off its stand? That man was bellowing! Awesome. Love it. I can't want to see the 49ers in two weeks. I hope he transfers over the anger, intensity, and desire to win over to these guys. They need a serious kick in the ass.

Mike Singletary Full Post Game Press Conference..Classic Material
Robert Littal Presents The Infamous BlackSportsOnline — Honestly I am frighten of Mike Singletary. If I am a player on the 49ers right now when I come to work on Monday I know I better: 1- Be a team player. 2- Be working my ass off. 3- Keep my mouth shut and just do my job. Vernon Davis is a classic example of a player who thought he was entitled to everything because he was a high 1st round draft pick. I guarantee you right now he has come to the conclusion that we all have. It doesn't matter if you are a #1 pick or a street free agent Mike Singletary are going to play the best players and when I say best "best players" I ...

MYSM: Hitting You In the Mouth . . . Like A Bad Relationship
Pleats 'n Cleats — I always knew I liked Mike Singletary when he was head coach for the Chicago Bears. This solidifies it. He just makes a lot of sense and he's not settling for crud. There were many, many sound bytes from this that I found highly amusing. Feel free to share your favorite part!

Mike Singletary Is Already My Favorite Coach
Sharapova's Thigh — Gotta love Samurai Mike. This is the press conference after his first game today, a loss at home to the dreadful Seattle Seahawks. Dude even benched Vernon Davis and sent him to the locker room during the game. This is one of hopefully many rants to come from the Hall of Fame linebacker and new head coach of the 49ers. BallHype: hype it up! ...

Speed Read: LaBelle Spell Can’t Quell Philadelphia
SPORTSbyBROOKS — Philadelphia just can’t catch a break. First Game 3 was pushed back because of little black rain clouds and very very frightening thunderbolts of lightning, and the conclusion wasn’t until well after 2 a.m. EST. Sunday night’s Game 4, meanwhile, was delayed by Patti LaBelle’s 2-minute-28-second rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” While jazz legend “Bleeding Gums” Murphy might be a fan of such renditions, ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL sports editor Keith Groller was soon pining for the Backstreet Boys’ version. Some did ...

Seahawks 34, 49ers 13 - Normally I would not lead with this because there were a litany of better games on, and I was saved from having to watch this travesty by the grace of my local Fox affiliate who rationally decided that no one in our little part of California wanted ...

Video: Mike Singletary Blows Up at Press Conference, Kicks Out Vernon Davis
Larry Brown Sports — It only took one game for me to learn something about Mike Singletary: I really like him as a head coach. It’s not for something stupid like his blowup/meltdown at the post-game press conference — it’s for standing up to a player and sending the message that the team is bigger than the player. This is a guy who has been there before and played the game the right way; he’s trying to pass that down to his team. This is honestly the way all locker rooms in all sports should be run (specifically the two-minute part of the video): If you’re not sure ...

San Francisco 49ers Interim Head Coach Mike Singletary Rant About Vernon Davis
FanIQ Blog — So how did he do on Day 1? While the score may have been dreadful (the 49ers lost to the equally sad Seahawks 34-13), Mike Singletary sure did make an impression that fans and players alike have a lot to be excited for. Not only did he throw out the most talented player on the team, Vernon Davis, (who apparently thinks he still didn't do anything wrong) after an unnecessary roughness penalty and to compound that with a nonchalant/uncaring attitude on the bench, Singletary also had a post-game press conference that Jim Mora would be proud of. While this is Mike's first head coaching experience, he has been ...

THE MIKE SINGLETARY PRESS CONFERENCE
ProFootballTalk.com — Robert Littal of BlackSportsOnline has harvested the video of the Mike Singletary press conference after the 49ers lost in his debut to the Seattle Seahawks. As a reader pointed out last night, portions of it ultimately could be destined to appear in a Coors Light commercial. Basically, he is who we thought he is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYaDJ-WuuSY

Morning Link Dump - Milano, Manny, Robocop, Singletary, DiPietro, It's Always Sunny
TheScore.com Blog — Obligatory Sports Babe OK, so this morning I figured I should find a picture of Joe Blanton's wife-- seeing as ballplayers all have trophy wives, and last night Blanton pitched a gem and was the first pitcher to homer in the World Series since 1974. Unfortunately, the only picture of Blanton with a woman that I could find was this one of him and Nick Swisher with some girls, which isn't exactly what I look for with the Obligatory Sports Babe. So then I thought, OK, she's wearing glasses, maybe I'll just search for pictures of girls wearing glasses. This didn't exactly work out either, because I couldn't help thinking of ...

Samurai Considers Hari Kari
Ivy Chat — The whole thing is fun, but it gets really good at about 40 seconds in. We have no idea Mike will be a good coach yet, but his press conferences sure look to be entertaining.

Wait, So It's Wrong To Ask A Guy About A Phone Call He Had With His Dead Mentor?
AwfulAnnouncing — Man, you know that feeling you get right before a cringe-worthy moment happens? Well, this takes that to a whole new level. Danyelle Sargent is a sideline reporter for FOX and yesterday she was set on getting Mike Singeltary's thoughts on a dinner he had with his "mentor" following his hiring by the 49ers. One small problem....Bill Walsh passed away over a year ago. ...

Phillies Pound Rays and How(ard)!
Batter's Box Interactive Magazine — The Philadelphia Phillies, the losingest franchise in all of pro sports, are just one win away from the World Series title after a 10-2 beatdown of the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 last night. Once again, the formula for this year's World Series is score first, you win.  The Phillies again scored first as Pat Burrell drew a bases loaded walk in the first and went up 2-0 on a Pedro Feliz RBI single in the third.  Carl Crawford put Tampa on the board with a solo shot off Joe Blanton in the fourth but the Phillies salted this one away in the fifth as Ryan ...

The Sporting Blog — Everything on this planet is soon going to disappear into a massive black hole. Each Monday, we’ll present those football-related elements that have already been swallowed into the abyss. Jim Zorn Staying Medium. The first year Redskins coach seems to live by his “stay medium” philosophy, which basically means that you don’t let yourself get too high or too low, too angry or too happy. During the post-game press conference yesterday, his medium went out the window: ...

VIDEO-MIKE SINGLETARY FOR PRESIDENT
The World of Isaac — See folks, this is exactly why the Lions have no idea how to spot talent in a coach or player. Mike Singletary was available and basically begging for a job when the Lions HC position opened. And the Lions didn't even bother to give him a look.

Mike Singletary’s Bleary-Eyed Presser
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog — I caught part of the above Mike Singletary postgame press conference live yesterday (vid ht: BSO), and thought one thing to myself: This man seems a bit agitated. And sort of insane. He also looks like he’s about the jump out from behind the podium and tackle the nearest reporter. Much of the ire in that opening statement came from his feelings towards Vernon Davis, who decided it would be a good idea to tap on Seahawk free safety Brian Russell’s facemask in the third quarter. He got an unnecessary-roughness penalty for that. Singletary promptly ripped him out of the game and sent him to the ...

Mike Singletary, America's Favorite New Coach
Five Tool Tool - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back — The rant in question is directed at tight end Vernon Davis, and shared by every unfortunate SOB who drafted Davis in their fantasy league.

Singletary goes old school on Niners
Pink Hat Nation — Yeseterday was a particularly pathetic NFL Sunday, starting with the Bolts getting 37 points hung on them by the Saints in a loss.

Take A Step Away From the Ledge…
The 3rd String Safety — I got a text message last night. It was my good pal Jason, asking me politely to keep him from ending his life. Well, at least his football life. He’s frustrated with his team, the 49ers, and his fantasy team (because I beat him by 100 points this week. Just want to remind him that he once posted this. Go to Hell, Jason.) He wanted me to give him a reason to still care. Thanks to a wonderful postgame conference, I can. Jason, If you have ever listened to me about anything, listen to this: This is a good thing. Mike Singletary is a smart man, and a hell of a coach. He’s not the best ...

49ers Coach Mike Singletary's Post Game Press Conference
D Wizzle's World —

Mike Singletary had an interesting day
Hail Mary Jane — Ok so yesterday must have been a tough day for 49ers head coach Mike Singletary. First his day starts off innocently enough with this interview. Ok so he had an airhead girl interviewing him. He can move on and have a productive day after that right? Wrong. During the 49ers loss to the Seahawks, Mike and his young tight end Vernon Davis got into it after Vernon got a pretty stupid penalty. Well after Mike went over and had a word with him, Davis took his stuff and left for the locker room and didn't return, I imagine that he probably cried back there. The video below is the press conference after the ...

No One Told Danyelle Sargent Bill Walsh Was Dead
SPORTSbyBROOKS — Being a sideline reporter isn’t exactly the hardest job in the world, nor is it really that necessary.  I mean, when a player gets injured and then heads to the locker room, they show it on the broadcast.   There really is no need to go to Suzy Kolber and ask her for news on it when all she is going to say is “He’s gone back to the locker room for further evaluation.”   We know, we saw it. Still, networks know that a nice way to keep that male demographic they cherish so much watching is by putting some eye candy on the screen.  It’s why Erin Andrews is so popular, but at least in ...

COACHES BE ALL ANGRY
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — As seen most everywhere by now, here’s 49ers interim coach Mike Singletary showing his displeasure with the team (and especially tight end Vernon Davis) after yesterday’s blowout at the hands of the Seahawks [Ed. note: HOORAY!]. This was after he’d benched Davis, then sent him to the locker room, then apologized to the fans as he left the field, then rejected Davis’s apology. I kinda get the feeling that Singletary really cares about having the right attitude. It might not motivate a team as effectively as wearing a suit like Mike Nolan, but the Niners are desperate ...

Mike Singletary had an interesting Sunday.
Clubhouse Cancer — First, the new 48ers coach has to put up with this ridiculous interview from a brain-dead moron named Danyelle Sargent: UPDATE: We see YouTube has pulled this vid. This dimwit asks Singletary what the first thing he told his “mentor” Bill Walsh when he first got the job. Just proves you can still blow your way to the middle at FOX Sports. FOX has ...

Not Bad Mike - Not Bad at All
Three Idiots on Sports — All three idiots (or maybe all two idiots, depending on whether or not Boss is still alive) love press conference melt downs. These tirades are little gifts from heaven. It simply doesn't get any better than grown men losing sh*t in front of the free world all because of a game. They are so great I even wrote about them over at Hugging Harold Reynolds ...

Check it out ...

Week 8 Stud & Dud
Past The Pylon — Stud of the Week – 49ers Head Coach Mike Singletary Previous 49ers head coach Mike Nolan tried to brink back old school football by wearing a suit on the sideline. Interim head coach Mike Singletary has down it with his words and actions. Not only did he confront tight end Vernon Davis on the sideline when he committed a stupid penalty, Coach Singletary sent him to the locker room in the 3rd quarter when Davis responded negatively. He also benched quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan when his performance was lacking despite what offensive coordinator Mike Martz wanted. These actions are going to put the rest of the team on notice. The only thing better ...

Steelers-Giants Review
Steelers Today - A Pittsburgh Steelers blog — I have to apologize to my readers. I know that many of you look forward to reading my post-game analysis. I always have it on-line the same night as the game. However, after yesterday’s heartbreak, I still can’t bring myself to think about that game, much less do an analysis of it. Instead, I just want to lock myself in a room and do my best Santonio Holmes imitation. Perhaps that would numb the pain. The guys over at Stillers.com always do a good analysis after Steelers games, so I’ll just direct you to their review for this week. You can read it here.

A Gift From Too Good To Be True
The Play In California — Thank you god. For a while, I had to say that I was beginning to run out of things to write about. I mean, as my readers know, the only thing I really love to cover is good old NFL football. Sure I enjoy college football and basketball, but mocking kids who go out and play their hearts out doesn’t bring me too much personal enjoyment. Okay it does, but I do feel like kind of a jerk after every scathing college sports article I write. I mean, these guys are my age, playing for my entertainment. They put their bodies on the line and work their asses out everyday. Most importantly though, I feel bad because they don’t get paid for it and technically I make more money than ...

Singletary Get's The Job Done
TheScore.com Blog — We were talking about it here this morning, and Mike Singletary is basically already a coaching legend. His first press conference was an instant classic. And despite a lot of pundits suggesting that you can't possibly run a football team like a raving maniac this day in age, or that Singletary is going to wind up punching one of his players in the mouth before the season is over, he seems to have already produced some results. Vernon Davis, the 49ers tight end at the centre of Singletary's outburst, posted an entry on his blog last night, and sounds like the coach got through to him. At the very least, he's saying ...

NFL Week 8 De-Cleeting:
Amphibious Sports Duo — On my flight back from Miami on Sunday I got to experience the DirectTV Redzone since my flight was on JetBlue. I can honestly say that from now on when I am flying on a Sunday in the fall, I will do everything in my power to fly on this airline. No commercials, not too much time listening to the same broadcast team, and no being stuck on a bad game with only a few game breaks every half to let you see the other action. I realize that a lot of people already have Sunday Ticket and that this is nothing new to them, but for schmucks like me, it is quite an experience, even if it does come from a small TV on the back of an airplane next to two young people ...

More evidence Mike Singletary is insane
Where's Ubaldo? — Insane in a good way though. In his head coaching debut, Singletary told a first round pick to head to the showers AND apparently pulled down his pants and mooned the team in the locker room at half time. After pulling down his pants he continued his halftime speech with his pants at his ankles. ...

Is Jason Garrett to blame for our offensive struggles?
Blogging The Boys — Weird article by some guy I've never heard of on some site I've barely heard of. It does raise an interesting point though: has Jason Garrett escaped criticism? Is he to blame for some of our offensive struggles? Eerily, head coach-in-waiting Jason Garrett has escaped criticism. The offensive coordinator has not been creative enough in terms of play calling (or play designing) to jump-start a running game that the teams desperately needs. Johnson should not have been put in a position to attempt 33 passes. I would say he deserves as much blame as anyone else. We seemed to struggle offensively in the Washington game and the situation ...

Two Minute Warning: Down on Main Street
RotoRob — Two weeks prior to Week Eight action, a co-worker of mine invited me to watch the Eagles/Falcons game at her apartment with a group of people. The apartment is dubbed the “Bob Seger Castle.” Why you ask? For no other reason than it is located on Main Street. Sounds like the concoction of people who were drunk at the time. Nonetheless, here’s a running diary of the day’s events. 10:26 a.m.: After going to bed at 4 a.m. in part because of the World Series Game Three’s finish at nearly 2 a.m., I roll out of bed feeling like I’m wearing an anvil on top of my head. As a Phillie fan, I feel like this World Series is taking years off my life. ...

And We're Off - One Lunatic's Spurs Preview
Pounding The Rock — My life sucks. My car is out of commission, I'm too poor to pay my rent, I have a cold and even though it's November now, The Sickness is still not in my life. It's not fair. So Tuesday afternoon Manolis and I decided to go to the Sharks-Pens game. We figured, two good, offensive, great skating, great passing, high volume shooting teams, we might see a 5-4 game. Of course it ends 2-1. 2-1 for $60 nosebleed seats. Grumble. And on the ride home my car's gear shift locks up on me. For 30 solid seconds I was stuck at a light and not able to shift into any gear before it loosened up and I was able to drive us back to the bar. Howevuh, after dropping Manolis off, the shit ...

The Mike Singletary era will be angry, pants-optional
Randball — singletary.JPG If you weren’t fired up for the Mike Singletary era in San Francisco after his postgame meltdown after Game 1 last week, please do take note of this emerging story: the fired-up coach with the crazy linebacker eyes apparently dropped trou in the midst of a halftime tirade last week as well. If this doesn’t make the 49ers must-see TV the rest of the year, nothing will (and actually, nothing else will). From the SF Chronicle : When his team hit the Candlestick Park locker room at halftime trailing the Seahawks 20-3, Singletary called everyone to attention, dropped his pants and pointed to his rear end, to fully illustrate what the coach thought of ...

And here we are, ...

The Morning Tailgate
JoeSportsFan.com — Mike Singletary’s NFL coaching career got off to a memorable start with a postgame tirade following his coaching debut against the Seattle Seahawks. Singletary’s first victory was much more subdued, and the Niners put this game away with their most prolific offensive output in a quarter since their Joe Montana days back in the 1980s. Good for Coach Singletary.  We prefer him ranting and raving, but we welcome him to the front of the line in today’s tailgate.  Ending a six game skid should be celebrated.  What’s that you say, Coach? “The thing I talked about a lot this week was this ...

It's NFL Black Monday: New York Jets Fire Eric Mangini
Music City Miracles — This is the day every year when a handful of NFL coaches lose their jobs.  Here is the list so far:  Jay Glazer is reporting that the Jets have fired.  That was quite a fall for the Jets from the best team in the AFC just a few weeks ago.   Rod Marninelli is out after his record breaking year in Detroit.  Romeo Crennel is out after a terribly dissapointing year in Cleveland. Three out already.  More will surely follow.  The 49ers job will not be coming ...

Top Five Football Coaching Rants (To Get You Through The Off-Season)
The Red Zone Report — The coronation of the Pittsburgh Steelers as Super Bowl champions marks the end of another football season… unfortunately.  But for those of us who eat, drink and sleep pigskin 365 days a year, football season is never really over. Football is a passionate sport for passionate fans and nobody is more fanatical about the sport than its head coaches.  Over the years, many of football’s more charismatic coaches have lost their tempers in not-so-gracious fashion after frustrating losses. To ease those of you who still crave football in the off-season, we hereby celebrate the greatest post-game rants of recent ...

Statistical Review of the 2008 San Francisco 49ers: II. Offense
Niners Nation — On Monday, I reviewed the Niners' overall season stats for the team as a whole. Today, in Part 2 of my season review, I'm going to focus on the offensive side of the ball. As I'm sure some of you have noticed, I was never a big Mike Martz fan, whether it was when he was the head coach for STL or during his tenure as 49er OC. Although I've articulated my Martz-related opinions in other Niners Nation articles and comments, the truth is that my dislike is based more on science than any 49er-related topic du jour. Basically, my problem has to do with how his offense sets players up for failure. It may produce gaudy passing ...

Statistical Preview of 2009 Free Agency: III. Fullbacks
Niners Nation — So far in Parts 1 and 2 of my free agency previews, I've identified Jeff Garcia and Vernon Carey as the best available free agents who fit (a) the characteristics of playoff-caliber signings at their position, and (b) what performance attributes the 49ers are looking for at each position. Based on your poll votes, you've tended to agree with me, although a majority thought the 49ers should draft a QB after the 1st round, and a near-plurality thought they should draft a RT. Today, in Part 3, I'll be taking a look at the free agent fullbacks. As before, I'll begin with an argument for evaluating only a select group of ...

We have a major hole at RT with Jonas Jennings being told by new Head Coach Mike Singletary that he will not return. I'm comfortable with the immediate future of all the other spots on the line: Staley is already a good young LT, Baas and Rachal are promising young Gs and Heitmann is fine at C. RT, however, is ...

Singletary wants to draft winners
Mining the Gold Rush — I think it's quite obvious that the 49ers, especially head coach Mike Singletary, wants to draft players that have the right mentality. After the fiasco with Georgia QB Matthew Stafford, it's apparent that the team will not take any kind of attitude-problem players. You all remember this from the 2008 season: The 49ers are being built with ego-free players. And with Singletary's desire to draft players that are "winners", how much do the 49ers take into consideration with a player that has so much talent but a slight attitude problem? The only reason why I am ...

A Very Orange Mock Draft
Three Idiots on Sports — The NFL draft is just a few days away and that means one thing - the mock draft "off-season" is nearly upon us. So take in as much as you can football fans because soon all the grown men who appear on TV, in print and on the interwebs talking about their guesses for who will get drafted where will go away for the next 9 months ...

Crabtree Excited at the Opportunity to View Mike Singletary's Brown Eye
Mizzourah — Okay, good, we can all breathe a little. Maclin SHOULD be the next WR taken now. Al Davis doesn't have another pick, J-Mac should be coming off the board soon. Also, about Mike Singletary. "I used my pants to illustrate that we were getting our tails whipped on Sunday and how humiliating that should feel for all of us. I needed to do something to dramatize my point; there were other ways I could have done it but I think this got the message across." -- Mike Singletary Don't lose, Crabtree, ...

The 49ers have fallen to 0-1
Shutdown Corner — The San Francisco 49ers lost yesterday. I don't know how they managed to do this, since they don't actually play anyone until August 14th, when the Broncos come to town for a preseason game. All I can do is take Mike Singletary's word for it, though. From SFGate.com: Singletary spoke to his players for a good 15 minutes following practice, his voice rising to the occasion of his passion on several occasions. The message seemed to be to get it right whenever you take the field. The month of May, or at least the 19th, was not so merry for the 49ers. "Practice today was not what it needs to ...

Offseason Progress Reports: San Francisco 49ers
Shutdown Corner — It's too early for '09 season previews, and too late for '08 season reviews. What's an NFL blog to do in the never-ending quest to overcover the bejeezus out of the NFL? Offseason progress reports. Let's go in alphabetical order. Today, the San Francisco 49ers. Free agents lost: TE Billy Bajema, DT Ronald Fields, OT Jonas Jennings, WR Bryant Johnson, S Keith Lewis, QB J.T. O'Sullivan, TE Sean Ryan, CB Donald Strickland Free ...

2009 RotoRob NFL Draft Kit: San Francisco 49ers Team Preview
RotoRob — A sixth straight losing season in San Francisco cost Mike Nolan his job. We’re back with more of the 2009 RotoRob NFL Draft Kit with yet another team preview (we’re on the home stretch now, with just five teams to go). We’re going to try to shoot out all these team previews and then start releasing the kit’s other ...

Your 49ers Update: Everybody Hates Vernon Davis
SPORTSbyBROOKS — So this is probably the year when Vernon Davis either earns his wings for the 49ers, or jumps off the bridge in Bedford Falls. Chosen sixth overall in 2006 draft, it looked at first as if the tight end was a wise choice. But three years and nine TDs later (along with 103 receptions and 1,132 yards), I’m seeing more J.J. Stokes than Brent Jones (and yes, I know Stokes was a WR; just sayin’). Vernon Davis ...

NFL Season Preview: NFC West
Foul Pole to Foul Pole — Can Kurt Work His Magic In 2009? Don’t let a Super Bowl appearance fool you, the NFC West was a bad division last season. The best of the worst was the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona took a 9-7 record into the playoffs, got hot, and were only 35 seconds away from being the Super Bowl Champions. San Francisco experienced a ...

Maryland Terrapins Do Not Belong On the West Coast
Stet Sports Blog — Let’s just tell the truth; the University of Maryland and athletes associated with the University of Maryland have no business on the West Coast. The Terrapins football team traveled to the west side to take on the Cal Bears this past weekend. They’ll be lucky if Ralph Friedgen doesn’t take turns attempting to crush each offensive player’s larynx tomorrow morning, when the Terps review film of the 52-13 stomping. Shortly thereafter, we find out that former Terp Shawne Merriman is alleged to have choked out his arm candy girlfriend Tila Tequila. It is the latest ...

Turnaround continues for Vernon Davis
ProFootballTalk.com — We're never going to forget Mike Singletary's coaching debut in San Francisco last October. Mainly, because his pants fell off at halftime. But also because of the very underrated postgame rant touched off by tight end Vernon Davis. That day, in a blowout loss to the Seahawks, Davis drew a 15-yard personal foul then, when approached on the sideline by Singletary about it, Davis tried to blow him off. Singletary sent Davis to the showers then raked him over the coals from the podium afterwards. "I will not tolerate players that think it's about them when it's about the team," Singletary said. "I would rather play with 10 people and ...

Fantasy Flex – Week 3 Studs and Duds
Goal-Line Stand — It’s Monday which means week 3 is almost in the books so it’s time for another awesome edition of “Studs and Duds”. Last week a reader was not happy that I left out some players in the week 2 version of “S&D’s” so I would like to take a second to remind everyone that I only select one player for each spot (obviously each week you can make a case for multiple players). Here we go… QB Stud-Peyton Manning: 24-35, 379 YDS, 4 TD It takes a lot more than a short week and lots of travel to slow down Manning. Dud-Drew ...

Mike Singletary Is A Football Coach
Ed The Sports Fan — Let it be known that I cannot stand the San Francisco 49ers; never have, never will. As a Cowboys fan, it’s not genetically possible for me to like them, and for years, I’ve wished nothing but despair upon them. Now though, that hate has been quelled, and it’s all because of one man. A man that has come in, taken a team with decent talent, but with a losing mentality, and has instilled a sense of pride and self-respect. That man is none other than Mike Singletary. It would be easy to say Singletary is a real man, since he’s Texas Made (Houston, STAND UP), but it’s deeper than that. For whatever ...

TSI Salutes: Mike Singletary
The Same Intensity — In his head coaching debut -- a 34-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks -- San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary set the tone for tenure in San Fran by a) dropping his pants and showing the team his bare ass at halftime as a visual representation that they were getting their butts kicked and b) sending tight end Vernon Davis to the locker room with a little over than 10 minutes left in the game after Davis was penalized 15 yards for slapping Seahawks safety Brian Russell on the helmet after a reception. In the post-game presser, Singletary dropped this gem: I would rather play with 10 people and ...

Various Cowboys Emails
Bob's Blog - Live from Lewisville — Two quick links that will further make you crazy before we get to some Saturday morning emails. Due to time constraints, I do want you to know I read every email, but when I get 30 emails that say basically the same thing, I think it is far more prudent as a guy with a family to "mass answer" some of those and save a bit of time. Therefore, the occasional email bag as opposed to personally answering each of the 800 emails I have backed up on my laptop. ...
