The only thing to make the Michael Crabtree story more interesting? Hammer-Time!

As Maiocco posted on his Twitter page, somehow MC Hammer has gotten involved in this whole thing. According to Maiocco, Hammer was seen leaving with Jed York and Michael Crabtree. Maiocco says that Deion Sanders lived with Hammer down in Fremont when he was a 49er. Deion's agent was (maybe still is) Eugene Parker, so I guess that's not such a huge stretch. Nonetheless, when you get MC Hammer involved, well, things have officially gone from crazy to bizarre.
I've said before that this soap opera would continue taking odd twists and turns. This is probably the most bizarre twist to date. Everything about this has been weird and surreal, and today was the craziest day yet. I've got class tomorrow morning and night, but you know I'll be keeping a close eye on developments.
And of course, it doesn't take much of a reason to show a little old school Hammer!

I say fire Singletary
Mike Singletary on whether Crabtree is perhaps a diva:
You said the key word: perhaps. I don’t know that. I don’t know that for sure. Why say no to someone who may be one heck of a kid? Like I said, I met him, I talked to him and I had a good feel for him. I haven’t been wrong too often. I think he is a great kid. But this is your rookie year, you’re just coming into the NFL, all you know is what they are telling him.

One of the articles I read through this site
had something about having “escalator” factors which from what I read sounds like contengencies and a contract that graduates from year to year in to larger dollar amounts based on performance (Jeremy Maclin signed one of these). I think that his contract will be a detailed and complicated one. Who knows, they may have already started writing it up…it’s obviously just my own personal speculation but in my line of work I deal with a TON of contracts. A standard contract in my industry is 9 pages long (most of which is fluff = legalities) BUT i have seen them as long as 15-20 pages if there are countless contingencies. If there are alot of contengincies, I suspect that it could take anywhere from the rest of tomorrow to a couple days; particularly if the “escalators” are still being worked out.

I think that his contract will be a detailed and complicated one.
Ya think?
if the "escalators" are still being worked out.
If they’re down to working out escalators, he’ll definitely sign soon. And the escalators are going to be pretty standard and in line with team performance, player performance, awards, and roster bonuses. Since everything’s pretty standard, and they’ve got other contracts use as references, it shouldn’t take days. It should just be going through the list and saying, “it’s 2009, that’s from a 2005 contract, make it 20% higher, ok fine 15%.”

He’s going to be working with about half a season… All of those contengies are going to be based around how much playing time he will get realistically. And we all know Singletary doesn’t care who it is and what thier contract says. So if a deal does in fact get done tomorrow or the next day, he better just keep his mouth shut and do what he is told to do…that’s if he wants to get paid and not ride the pine.
I’m not too worried about everyone’s fear of Crabtree being a “diva” anyway. Singletary just won’t allow him to play if he sees any signs of that.
by Drew K on Oct 6, 2009 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I find it curious
That days before all of this, Sing was saying in the press conference that he wanted a more balanced run/ pass gameplan when it was stated previously, and this is almost verbatum, “We want to have about a 60/40 run to pass ratio.”

Sing cares about the guys in the locker room
Not the rookie who won’t seriously contribute for 4+ weeks. He was referring to the terrible job running the ball we’ve done and how he’d like to make some positive yards on offense rather than the ol’ 1 yard and a cloud of dust we’ve been doing.

If that was totally true
He would have dismissed the comments about Crabtree like he has in the past. My point was that he knew that everything that went down today was going to take place.
IF he signed by tomorrow, he could see action against Houston. Limited of course; prob 5-10 plays. If we’re paying big money, you better trust that York will want his high dollar guy to contribute

All of those contengies are going to be based around how much playing time he will get realistically.
You do know this is going to be more than a 1 year contract, right? He’ll get docked game checks for what he missed, and they’ll fight over how much to give him in his base number. This has been gone over and gone over many times, including by Parker with other clients. It will not take forever… unless he wants to negotiate how many red skittles he gets in his pre-flight snacks.

Since When
Were any of those things being a Diva? A Diva is someone that either plays up the publicity for the betterment of their career (Britney Spears or Madonna)
Or
Someone that thinks that they are god’s gift to the universe because they can play a game. They act the part by unleashing outlandish and idiotic statements to the press for pure celebrity gain or to be on the top of Sportscenter, which more often then not they are. Or play the part by demanding a crazy amount of money and playing the PR game in the press rather then negotiating in good faith. Examples of Diva’s would include Brandon Marshall, Terrell Owens, Tom Brady, Shawne Merrimen, Stephan Jackson(the hoops version), Jose Canseco(in his heyday), Charles Barkley, Deion Sanders etc….
What you mentioned were criminal behaviors (Braylon Edwards, Dante Stallworth, Rae Carruth, Lenord Little, Ray Lewis, Kobe Bryant(?), OJ Simpson and so on.

I seriously doubt Crabtree is loosing any sleep about not being pick by the Rams or Browns.

(not sure which comment to reply to, that’s why I’m going rogue)
I agree with people who believe that he hasn’t done all that much to be labeled a diva – to me a diva is someone who talks a big game, makes a show of themselves, boasts, brags, etc, and complains about not getting the ball enough. He has done none of those things – he hasn’t said a WORD to the media since the holdout began. Now the holdout itself is to a small degree a diva-like move, but he’s a long way off from officially being a diva.
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.

Either way, couple years from now it will be forgotten, whether he signs with 49ers or not..
Nobody even remembers when Eli Manning didn’t want to play for San Diego and eventually got traded to Giants. He was called a diva at the moment, and now?

On the bright side he’s missed a month and is only 2 catches and 36 yards behind DHB.
On the not so bright side it will probably take him 3 weeks in Jimmy Raye’s offense to equal those stats.
But his real rival is Percy Harvin . . .

i agree. al davis drafted speed… FAIL. Reminded me of Troy Williamson just paid more.
The real question is when will be when Master P will get involved (ahem Ricky Williams).

That is epic man. I remember a few weeks back when someone, i don’t remember who. Said that DHB was the best pick of the 2009 draft. LOL.

he was!
raiders get the shaft and crabtree fell to us… at the time it looked good. I love watching the raiders fail.
maybe when he blossoms if he does and i believe he will… DHB will be the best pick of the draft because crabtree fell to us.

Naw
Even in raye’s rush first attack, Crabtree will get more then 2 rec for 36 yards that’s for damn sure. We will throw short passes to crabs. Plus Crabs actually gots hands unlike DHB (dead hands bey)
by 49ersAllTheWay on Oct 6, 2009 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
True
it will take Crabs awhile in Jimmy’s system, but I still think he’ll end up with catches the DHB. Percy Harvin is beast.

Acting The Part Of One
But you may be correct. Besides holding out for more money and leaking information to the media instead of negotiating in good faith Crabtree hasn’t yet proven himself a full on diva. But you have to admit that the signs are there. Surrounding himself with the likes of Hammer and Deion won’t change what many perceive him to be including myself. Now if he goes out on the field and does what is asked of him why not pulling a Deion, Terrell or Ochocinco then all will be forgotten. I just think a lot on here are well within their right be believe he don’t be doing that

Steve Young even suggested that Crabtree may be homophobic.

It's Well Within
anyone’s right to be homophobic as it is within anyone’s right to be gay. So Young spouting off on this if he did, proves himself to be a little ignorant.

Give it a rest. Tools will continue to spout off about how he’s a diva. The fact that you haven’t gotten 17 responses detailing his diva-ness kinda proves your point. You don’t have to keep repeating yourself.

Good morning everyone!
So I went to bed, and I woke up, and let me just get this recap sorted in my mind. The 49ers have signed MC Hammer, and expect him to make his first start against the Falcons. Michael Crabtree has released a song called “”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWSm13LBh8&feature=related" >Must be the money", Deion Sanders has decided to re-enter the 2010 draft, and Eugene Parker is the new pundit on NFL Total Access. Is this correct?
