Two of them! To suggest that the coaches were sending signals in to do so is the part that gets me so pissed off. How do you know the players didn’t come up with the “fake” injuries on their own? How do you know the players didn’t actually suffer leg cramps?

Takeo Spikes didn’t practice much leading up to the game, and you don’t think his body was drained and he could’ve suffered a legit leg cramp? Parys Haralson was constantly smashing into OL trying to create a pass rush, you don’t think he could actually suffer a leg cramp?

I don’t know if you’ve ever played football, and I don’t care, but leg cramps are extremely painful. When you have to get off the ground and run back to a spot on the field to avoid being offside, your calves take a beating when a team is in the hurry up. You have no evidence to suggest the 49ers were “cheating” or that the coaches were “signalling”. I don’t care what any broadcaster said, home town or not.

And why haven’t you even addressed Joseph Addai’s hand injury during the hurry up that didn’t allow the 49ers to substitute? Or what about the missed offsides call by the ref on Michael Crabtree’s fumble, surely Indianapolis paid off the refs.

You’ve honestly left a bad taste in my mouth as representative of an otherwise formidable fan base. You could’ve redeemed yourself by apologizing for your lack of professionalism in calling Singletary a bum, but instead you try to gloss us over with a “Thanks for a great week, we don’t mean you guys or your teams a bum, just your HC”. Us 49ers, we’re a family, if you call one of us a bum, you call of us a bum. I know things can be heating, so originally I was going to take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

However, this lack of apology makes me want to take with a “grain” of 2X4s up aside your BBS servers.

to come in with a statement like “Thanks 49ers Fans” and then completely rip our coach. I know you said the fans and team are great, but c’mon. I think it’s kind of a low blow. I was happy with the interaction up to the game. I was glad we can have that kind of stuff. But next time, title your thread “Thanks 49ers Fans, Your Coach is an (site decorum).”

Then I wouldn’t be so upset at the post.

Don’t come here and try to act classy by complimenting all of us after acting like a disrespectful, whiny fan. What annoys me about your post about Singletary is how you act as if it is a fact that he made the players cheat. How can you be so sure that he cheated? There is absolutely ZERO concrete evidence that Singletry did anything to cheat. There were 2 cramps throughout the entire game. Maybe they were real, maybe they were fake. Maybe they were fake but it was Spikes’ and Harrylson’s decisions to fake the injuries. Hell, it is entirely possible that Singletary told them to do it. But at the end of the day there is no evidence either way, so making such harsh accusations is rather disgusting. I would have had no issue if you speculated that Singletary cheated, but the matter in which you talked about the situation was very immature. You sound like a 6 year old who lost his candybar and blindly accuses one of his classmates of stealing it.

Ultimately, I judged the situation by looking at Singletary’s character. I have never heard any legitimate football mind say anything bad about Singletary. Every football analyst talks about how hard working, caring, and respectful he is. Mike Ditka, someone who know Singletary very well, speaks of Singletary as if he is the greatest man on earth. He just doesn’t seem like the type of person who would cheat

I’m not going to comment a lot about the cramps (or "cramps" if you like). I don’t really know what the deal was, but the timing was obviously suspicious and I think it was potentially a very ticky-tack move. On the other hand, I don’t know. These players and coaches don’t have any history that I know of of anything resembling that kind of weak activity, so I’m also willing to extend the benefit of the doubt.

Really, there’s not a lot to support either side.

What I really wanted to say was that, while I think it’s unfortunate that you came here at least in part to compliment us as a fanbase and are getting nothing but ire for the attempt, I also hope you understand that said ire is coming because the post you did end up making – intentions aside – consisted of four paragraphs that, excepting two whole sentences, were completely dedicated to [complaining] us out about our team. That wouldn’t go well anywhere, no matter how classy the fans are.

Your team is a bunch of cheating douches. But don’t worry because I still like you!

Best,

BBS

lol really? He is doing the same thing on our blog for the upcoming game. This guy is a class act.

So much for Stampede Blue being my favorite SBNation blog outside of NN. Seriously, wow.

I can’t believe he had the audacity to post this. On the NINERS BLOG.

I suggest that all the Niner fans that are active on this blog let them know what they think of BIGBADBRAD at Stampede Blue.

Refer to him as BIGBADBRAD or else you’ll get the almighty BANHAMMER!

Urgh……I just want to hurt him so bad!

Karma’s a female dog. You’ll see this in the post season. Hopefully at the hands of Tom Brady, just to spite you. Have fun whining about whatever you feel like blaming for losing when it happens.

He is the “head writer” of the colts blog…

Thank god Fooch isn’t that immature.

You state you believe in it so perhaps you should have the same standard when it comes to writing/blogging. Taking two examples from one game, without directly questioning the coaches or players involved, then stating that the HC is a “bum” and “coward” shows that you are the one lacking integrity. To then come over to this blog and try to be above it while restating your garabge, well, you could also learn a lesson on class. So that’s two things you lack.

Barring a SB or pre-season game we don’t play for four years. I certainly wish your team more success than you in that time frame.

Why is there so much crying associated with Peyton Manning
 by rlott#42 on Nov 4, 2009 11:47 AM CST 0 comments

First there was the heisman hopeful in which Peyton layed a golden egg, then it was the punishing the Patriots continued to place on you year after year. Then the Chargers spanking you out of playoff contention. To add insult to injury Manning was handed the most undeserved Superbowl MVP in history. How many so- called all-time greats don’t have a TD pass and get to be MVP? Eli had better numbers and any other QB aside from Grossman, playing on either the winning team or loser has had better games than Manning onth e big stage. Is Manning just the best regular season QB, and the biggest choke artist in the history of so called great QB’s? Yeah right next to Marino. Sure he got a SB win and his regular season numbers are off the charts but doesn’t he choke in the big dance. You can rely on Manning all year but not in the playoffs? Is Manning overrated? He’s not winning the big one as often as he has been touted as having the greatest season of a QB. I get it Manning carries the team all season and when the Colts lose just blame the other players who can’t get paid because Manning has the bulk of your salary cap held up, so you should only point the finger at him, but you won’t. Fans are just as infatuated with this QB as the media, even though the Post season is not his stage to perform!

I know you can sometimes go on a tirade when you are livid with something, but you got to drop this and apologize. Look I think the niners did it too and I got mad for about for a few minutes, but the Colts won and we can’t do anything about it. Just drop the charade man. I normally can put up with your rants, but this one crosses the line IMO. Please represent us at stampede blue a little better than that

and start talking to some Titans fans about this weeks game?

I almost want to forgive him now, but still won’t (not until we get an honest apology for being an immature dork)

Please update us again in January when you are eliminated by the 8-8 Chargers…again.

I admit the Colts are probably the best team in the NFL right now and for the most of this decade right next to NE, but has only 1 ring and 1 SB appearance to show for it? The 49ers won a few with a HOF QB (ok actually 2 HOF QBs), a HOF WR and a HOF DB but the Colts had a future HOF QB, future HOF WR (Harrison), one of the top RBs in his prime (James) , another top WR (Wayne), Pro Bowl TE (Clark), an elite DE (Freeney) and an elite S (Sanders).

Colts’ fans must know the Heimlich maneuver really well with all the choking they’ve witnessed in past Januaries…

What IS the problem is the way you made your post. You seriously just came in, thanked us and then insulted every single one of us. No, it’s not the fact that you think the 49ers cheated that insults us, do you really see just how up your own ass your post sounds? Honestly, I know it’s the internet and I know it’s just a sports blog but I seriously feel backstabbed right now. I thought you Colts fans were the best I’d talked to yet and now all I’m getting from you is this whining post. If I had to guess, judging by that post and the way you’re talking to us and still holding onto that claim, I would definitely say you were no older than 12 years old.

Grow up and get out of here, the Colts will always leave a bad taste in my mouth hereto after.

BBS is a complete tool. As a Texan fan we have been putting up with his holier than thou attitude, baseless accusations, and all around BS for years. He lives in a completely different universe where the definition of trolling is disagreeing with him…not posting purposely inflammatory BS on other teams blogs. He has ruined more honest football discussions than anyone I can think of. He recently threatened Texans fans that if we didn’t let him get his way he would not respond to questions and ban us from his blog….and that’s where I got directed here.

There aren’t many people who annoy me at so such a deep level as BBS. I generally try to ignore him, but he is such as asshat it’s hard to do that all the time.

Guys get cramps late in ballgames, and I don’t see how anyone could make such derogatory statements without anything other than speculation to back it up….but BBS does it all the time. If I was in his position I could understand being suspicious…and possibly even voicing them but to attack singleton as a coward and all that other mess is just inexcusable.

I just feel jealous that you only have to put up with him every so often, and not all the time like we do because we’re division rrivals. Best of luck to you guys the rest of the year.

By prefacing a post with Thanks doesn’t negate the fact that this was totally unessacary. Fooch was nothing but hospitable in answering questions and participating with you all at Stampede Blue as he always is with the opposing team. Then you come over here and trash this board by accusing our team of cheating as if winning wasn’t enough. Was it because you almost got beat? Was it because we did not allow your beloved QB to throw a TD? Or is it because you just flat out lack class? I suspect it’s the latter of all three but it could easily be all of the above…

So I just wated to say Thanks for your post…AND

Oh yeah…Without integrity, your post is meaningless!

Good luck this season.

I’ll admit I bit hard on his first 2 posts, but it’s obvious BBS is looking for “ratings.” He makes ridiculous statements and calls our HC names so we will head over to his blog join and comment and make it look like people actually give two flying shits about his blog. Things started to quiet down over there so naturally he heads over here to toss some more logs on the fire. Notice how he doesn’t respond to anyone? Probably because he is too busy masturbating to the sight of 67 new comments. Just ignore him. We know a Sing’s not a bum who cares what a spoiled brat blogger says?

This was his post and it was not signed by any other members of the colts fan base, please dont take it personally with the rest of us and dont take it with our Team that has nothing to do with it, i really enjoyed posting over here and reading all your comments prior to the game last week and noticed that many of you really liked the colts and respected manning , please dont let your opinion on BBS change what you thought about us as fans and about our organization.

Where is this guy? He posts this and never has the balls to come back and comment.

I cant make up for any of the comments BBS made, but on behalf of stampede blue, I would like to extend out apologies for any derogatory (thanks for the vocab expansion TO) comments he made. We colts fans are all to familiar with fake injuries and when we see something similar it strikes in nerve (some more than others. Im looking at you BBS >_>) . I hope we can find a way to put this behind us and hope this little altercation does not deter you from stampede blue. For the most part there is good insight from most posters at stampede blue (yes that even includes BBS when he doesn’t go off on a tirade). If this doesn’t work, well then, i tried. Good luck the rest of the season and again, sorry for this debacle

It’s amazing to me that some internet blogger has more of a “strong belief in the integrity of the game” than a member of the NFL Hall of Fame- the guy he’s accusing of destroying it. If anybody in the NFL understands the importance of being honorable, it’s Mike Singletary. I think he’s proven that time and time again, and there are many other legends in the game who would be quick to attest to his character.

It’s also amazing to me that BBS thinks that a timeout on two plays would constitute “stealing a ballgame.” The 49ers defense played very well against Manning and had him off his game the entire time. It’s not like they were grasping for some desperate breath of mercy from him rolling over their defense all day, and had to cheat to stop him. That just wasn’t the case. It’s not rare for an eleven-year NFL veteran (who had been in limited practices due to an injury the week before) to get a leg cramp during a succession of fast-paced snaps. Not long after he left the game, you could see him in the back of a shot off the sidelines drinking a full bottle of Gatorade. I really don’t think they would go to this much effort and acting to save-face when it’s not necessary in the first place.

Finally, it’s amazing to me that BBS of all people would be giving us a self-described “morality lesson.” The same guy who insists on continuing to cry “Cheater!” on the opponents’ turf, after his team has already won the game. Why would I take morality lessons from a person like that?

Luckily I’ve been able to meet enough Colts fans in my life that I know that BBS is doing a poor job representing them, and that they are some of the classiest fans out there.

I just joined Niners Nation today to blog about our upcoming contest and noticed that our old friend BBS was at it again.

Just wanted to let you all know that this douche has been doing this garbage as long as he has had a blog. It’s always passive-aggresive, backhanded compliment crap. He has never posted anything on another team’s blog that wasn’t there just to try to incite some garbage to bring traffic back to his own blog.

Just do what we do and ignore him. He will go away.

But looking forward to this weekend. I said over on Fooch’s post as MCM that I freaking love Mike Singletary’s attitude. Doesn’t seem like the kind of coach who would put on a division rival’s jersey “for charity.”

I wish your team well. There are alot of ignorant fans out there and they need cheerleader. you are an id..t. Go away blueboy.

Many of us just think your coach misrepresents you.

Not that many of us.
I, personally, as a Colts fan apologize for this lame-ass apology.

Well, this certainly brought out the best in all of us.

Check this dismantling out.

Warning If you are at work or do not want to read vulgarity, don’t go to the link.

It is hysterical though.

Does my arguement make any sense now? I truely think th 49ers were not cheating, and to even think you’re going on the context of thanking 49ers fans is laughable. I hope when my Jaguars play the 49ers, even if we lose (which is more than likely) wouldn’t concoct stupid conclusions.

We all just fed this troll exactly what he wanted

They’ll be whining after they lose in the playoffs and I will be there to pick up the pieces.

wears it like a badge of honor.

I have actual 100% complete and total proof that no Niners cheated at any time.

But I have sprained both of my index fingers and have cramps in my thumbs. I can’t type it all up. I can’t type it all up.

But were it not for these completely legitimate injuries that I recently sustained, I would totally disprove this post. TOADS!

What is this guy on!?!??! It’s not cheating if there’s no sex!

You probably think it’s cheating to run out of bounds,touch a qb,kneel down,go for two points,onside kick,pull a guard,fake a punt,or go for it on first down. Again you are an idiot. You are someone who makes me look intelligent and for that I say Thanks BluBallBoy.

Thanks for the backhanded compliment

I suggest we make BBS the first.

I wanted to wait a couple of days after the game to thank you 49ers for some great blogging leading up to last Sunday’s contest.

You mean you wanted to wait a couple days for us to cool down before ripping us again. I count a lot of people here who read what you wrote, and now believe you’re a first-class a-hole so it must be true. Honestly, anyone defending what was so obviously douchbaggery at the highest level really needs to get some friggin morals.

how he comes in here, posts this, and then never replies to anybody. He stopped replying to me over at Stampede Blue too.
You truly are a class act BBS. I’m not sure how you got privileged to run the blog for one of the classiest organizations in the NFL, but God bless whoever gave you that title.

Ok, can we just move past this at this point? Clearly nobody is happy with how things went down and going over to call BBS out for whatever reason is only instigating things. Let’s just move on, ok?
