49ers drop tampering charge - MNF Open Thread

PrintAccording to Maiocco, the 49ers have dropped their tampering charge surrounding Michael Crabtree and the Jets. According to Maiocco's source, the 49ers have their guy and are fine moving on from it. Sounds a bit like "being the bigger man." I wonder if the team would be so big about it if Crabtree was struggling right now? I would have liked a draft choice or some kind of compensation, but in the end, the 49ers did get their guy and their guy looks gooooood.
As for tonight, the Titans head to Houston with the hope of continuing their resurgence on the back of Chris Johnson. Given how Tennessee has played lately, I think this could be a fun game to watch. Feel free to discuss the game here.

Vince Young usually tears Houston a new one, so I like Tennessee tonight.
"It ain't over till it's over." - Yogi Berra
Young has been 3-0 since he was put back in the lineup
they’re playing now like the 13-3 team they were last year.
Chicago
should really take a look at how classy the 49ers were now that they have their guy under contract. The Bears signed Briggs, but still wanted to screw us. That’s telling a girl she’s ugly, and still expecting to have sex with her.

Speaking of classy
Rex Ryan is upset because the Patriots tried to run up the score on him. Maybe he ought to keep his players from bad mouthing his opponents if he doesn’t want that to happen.
Seriously. The Patriots are never going to make it to the BCS title game if they’re not willing to run up the score on a few scrubs.

Seriously, though, I hate the “code” mentality of sports. It’s stupid. Stop whining. If you don’t want them to run up the score, just stop them.
Furthermore, they did stop them! The Pats didn’t even complete the pass! Somebody call the whaaaambulance. There’s a whaaaamergency situation!

Seriously?
He added fire to a rivalry and now he wants to set parameters on how it can be played? For all the talk of Sing speaking too much, Rex is the coach that needs to bite his tongue.

I’m still waiting on that whaaaambulance.

BOOOO!!!!
I want a 3 1st round draft picks.
As for MNF. Go Titans. for my FF team the guy im playing has Schaub and Johnson. I need them to do bad so I can win. Im only leading by like 20 points. Im probably going to lose
Go 49ers
I like Houston as a team more
But we need a “tits” win for a better place in the playoff hunt; dso I’M with the Titans this one..

It's Classy
But if there was evidence of tampering don’t the 49ers owe it to the league to stay strong on this front? I mean if true it was a precedent i don’t believe the NFL wants set. It isn’t like “tampering” with soon to be free agents. This sets into motion the “perceived” ability of teams to contact drafted players and all that does it make a mockery of the draft process.
Am i wrong here?

Nope
If we had solid evidence that they tampered we need to go forward with it. If we didn’t we shouldn’t have filed the charges in the first place.
Filing the charges got Crabs to sign

Not wrong
And if not for the punishment we received due to the Briggs charge I wouldn’t care. After that, the league owes SF to pursue this and provide at least an equal piece of punishment to the Jets. It shows Goodell really doesn’t care. This creates the perception (again) of east coast bias and he truly does not care. Becoming more Stern like everyday.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
My guess
If this were going to go any further, it probably would have implicated Crabtree’s agent, Eugene Parker.
They might’ve agreed with him to keep his name out of the tampering case (as their concession in getting Crabtree signed…when Parker pretty much conceded on everything else).
Maybe the “bigger man” situation is related more to Parker, than it is to the Jets.
Probably extends to his

This is mentioned as a game thread, but we’ll keep the decorum in here, so no swearing outside of 49ers game day threads and draft threads.
Ah, that explains why my response was posting all weird.

I think Cody fits what they want to do more than Berry, just asking cuz they are playing!

Right now the Titans have the same record as the 49ers and Carolina.. and they beat the 49ers so
If they want to pick Berry and he is available.. the 49ers would get him first
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
I don't think that's how draft slotting tie breakers are settled
Unlike playoffs, it’s not head to head or conference record. It’s all strength of schedule; team with the weaker schedule selects higher.
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
Young looks good, throwing with touch today.

I think the fact that the middle of the field is wide open for Young is more of a factor than the fact that he has 50 people cheering for him in the stands

You made look FF up
I thought me team was pretty crappy at 4-6 but I’m 2nd in the league at Points Against (PA) with 1,014.7. Average PA is around 800-830.
I’m just glad that my team isn’t -75 – 300 this year like they were last year. Man, my team sucked last year.

I wasn’t paying attention. Thought I sucked because I couldn’t score 110 points each week. Looking at my RBs, it’s easy to find the hole in my roster.
Spaz much?
Chill with the caps, Schaub got the 5 pts

Based on your excitement I thought that maybe you were kicking some else’s butt this week . . . whoever that might be?
I just really wanted to win this week. My team has been scuffling the last few weeks, and I finally get a week where they score a bunch of points only to face the jerk who knocks off 125 points before the late game on Sunday. Matt Schaub was my last hope.

Lets see if they call the same punt fake after the penalty
I can’t wait to hear how it’s 79% successful tomorrow.
I can't wait to watch first take to hear Skip deny Manning and Brady get more calls than any other QB
Vince gets a vicious trip and then a hit in the head, so a mobile QB is not a Qb cuz he isn’t soft looking for freakin’ calls? Let’s see if that guy gets a fine for the trip.

WHy didn't Brown do that in the 4th quarter vs us?
At least we’d have gone to O.T.

Brown still missed early vs. TEN

Likely
But we probably won’t find out till Tuesday. If so, let’s hope the Titans defense beats him up.

The Titans have the perfect formula for kicking Warner's ass
They can get pressure with just the front 4, Kurt Warner hates that.
