Golden Nuggets: Close the door on T.O... Please!

by James Brady on Mar 6, 2009 2:44 AM PST in 49ers Links

Morning everyone, James here. I actually almost forgot about the Nuggets today, but lucky for all of you (yeah right) I didn't and you'll get to enjoy my random thoughts and opinions that generally don't have any basis to them or meaning to any of you! Ok, so I know you all read for the news and me talking is basically filler (one of these days I'm just gonna talk about something obscure like waffles and see if anyone notices) but I enjoy doing it and maybe one or two of you read it. That being said, who's up for some waffles er... I mean links! There's not a ton going on in Ninerland but either way I've got some stuff for you and you can expect more on T.O. since well.. he's T.O., you know? Enjoy.

T.O. would not be a good fit here. Other than the fact that he'd be a great weapon to free up the running game we want, T.O. still wants the ball. Unless of course he just wants a contract before retiring now in which case sign sign sign. (PressDemocrat.com)

Just a general recap of what's been going on in Ninerland. I wonder why God keeps telling players not to play in San Francisco. Personally, I'm offended. (SFGate.com)

A source close to the 49ers said "No" to Owens by McCloughan says that we "don't close any doors." Well I for one am about to head to 49er headquarters and board the [site decorum] door up myself. I wonder if Samuel Lam will come with me. We could have a good laugh while we're at it. (SFGate.com, MVN.com)

Here's two possible free agent acquisitions the 49ers could be looking at (providing Torry Holt is released) (MVN.com)

An article I cant bring myself to read BUT that I guarantee is well-thought out, well-written and other such things. I just cant immerse myself in talks about uniforms, the picture is snazzy though. Possible look for new unis? (Examiner.com)

How do you feel about Scot McCloughan? Has he done a good job to you? (MercuryNews.com)

49ers to look at CB Eric Green. (SacBee.com)

Man these guys love the sound of breaking another human in half. I love it. Top hits of 2008 for the Niners. (49ers.com)

So what will happen with Alex Smith? I'm not sure and frankly I'm not looking at it with too much scrutiny, I don't feel like the kid has a future honestly. (SacBee.com)

J.T. O'Sullivan signed with the Bengals to back up Carson Palmer. (ESPN.com)

So its very clear the Redskins didn't want newly signed 49er DE Demetric Evans. But why? (DCProSportsReport.com)

But for real though, I'm getting some waffles.

from the niner insider on SFGate

KNBR radio host Ralph Barbieri took exception to the team’s handling of Stafford, to last year’s botched replay system, to the lack of clarity about who’s running the operation, to who made the final decision to fire Mike Nolan to the organization’s cult-like televised state of the team address by Mike Singletary, Scot McCloughan and Jed York to the failed Warner courtship

Ah, Razor. You never cease to amuse with how angry you are at everything and everyone involved with the 49ers.

Yeah.

As long as he can mention the Yorks in a bad light, he’ll take it. Oh wait, isn’t that Kawakami? Perhaps they’re the same person!

Someone tell me...

Who has been running the 49ers since Eddie, and then tell me how it’s worked out over these years.

Well, we're waiting....

Yeah, yeah.

I know the NFL (and it’s fanbase) are a “what have you done for me lately” kind of crowd, but the Yorks took over a mess from Eddie D, and were completely inexperienced in running an NFL franchise. I know it’s not an excuse, and people have obvious reason to be upset about the results (or lack thereof).

However, it is my observation that the Yorks, ever since Nolan took over, have grown into better owners. They’ve learned to be a little more open with their pocketbook, all while learning to keep their noses out of the football side of things. I think they’re making strides, which I’m willing to give them credit for and take more of a “wait and see” approach.

Some of the bay area writers seem to have a vendetta against them, and I’m not sure that it’s all about the lack of results. Maybe the Yorks are a lot more tight-lipped when it comes to media relations? The coaches sure seem like they’ve mastered in “saying a whole lot but not really saying anything.”

Why do I call it some kind of vendetta? Because it seems like those specific writers/personalities are always looking at the negatives and never acknowledging any positives. Now there aren’t a whole lot to be completely happy about, but I’d say showing signs of becoming decent owners (as opposed to terrible newbie owners before) is a huge step in the right direction.

Barbieri makes a lot of good points...

His conversation with Kevin Lynch shed some ugly light on how they handle prospective players. The SI article a few days back isn’t anything new either. Buzz around the League is that the 49ers FO is pretty whacked. The whole Paragg in the booth is stupid. ScotM got busted for tampering. They are on thier 3rd coach after firing Mooch, who was the last one to take the team to the playoffs. Everything they have done has turned out bad. Even after all of these years, this team still isn’t very good. Instead of a complete overhaul from the failure of the Nolan era, they’ve kept with the same guys sans Nolan to run this team. KC makes a bold move, and gets Pioli. Piloi in turn gets a good offensive mind for a Head Coach, and swings a great trade for Cassell. The 49ers wind up getting played by Warner.

The FO has a lot of inexperience, true NFL experience at that.

Well, we're waiting....

The pic of the uniform brainstorm is really great. The design is simple and gorgeous. I hope they decide on something close to that.

When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.

hahahahahahahahahahaha, roflmao, snort, giggle

Carson Palmer is done for. The Cincinnati O-line is incompetent enough that he’ll be on IR again within six weeks of opening day, . Then I can watch JTO place the Bungles firmly in the basement of the AFC North. Now, if the Niners can make the playoffs, my 2009 will be complete!

Truth has a well-known liberal bias.
