Top 5 reasons Michael Crabtree has good hands

by Fooch on May 3, 2009 12:25 PM PDT in News Comment 33 comments

Last week a gentleman who works with Subway's PR company passed along an interesting little video I thought I'd share with you. Michael Crabtree signed his first national marketing deal joining Subway's growing stable of athletes (Tony Parker and Ryan Howard among others).

Crabtree lists the five reasons he has great hands. One of them was that he catches 150 passes after every practice. If he does that with the 49ers QBs that's definitely a good way to get some chemistry. Also, the end of the video interview with Jay Glazer is pretty amusing in discussing how he's like other famous receivers.

It's my understanding that there will be more videos eventually going up at Subway FreshBuzz. Enjoy.

Crabtree, please stop being yourself

by being honest with the Everyone, you needs a PR guy to help make a “tougher” self image for you.

Three things I don’t want to know as a Fan of the 49ers(No matter what player it is[with the expection of A.Smith]) are:
1. That you’re into fashion
2. You get manicures
3. That you sleep with oven mittens.

way to over analyze a freakin commercial

"I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman"

Maybe it's just me

As for me

I couldn’t care less if he got his good hands from playing with dolls as a child, or if he likes to unwind from a game with a good cry and discussing his feelings with friends over appletini’s. So long as he catches the ball and makes plays for us on Sundays, he can do whatever (legal) activities he wants in his free time.

I agree...

…and I don’t blame him for doing the Subway deal. It would be stupid to turn down any national sponsorship at this point. If he doesn’t make it then he will need the $. But I do wish someone had told him to say “I try” to be like, instead of “I am” like these receivers. All of which have proved themselves in the NFL and he has a long way to go still.

Who doesn’t need a manicure from time to time?

supraman, please stop being an idiot

by being honest with the Everyone, you needs a PR guy to help make a "tougher" self image for you.

this makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever

on a positive note though, I continue to be amused by your comments, and I really look forward to your next fanpost if nothing more than for a good laugh.

Yet again...

…Supraman trying to cause controversy.

You and I know he wasn’t being serious, and who cares anyway?

Crabtree

And as long as he makes plays he can do whatever it takes to stay in top condition.

What if he did Steroids?

Well, we're waiting....

roids

I don’t think I want a wide receiver on steroids….Not sure how much that would help him.

are his abs actually bulging out of his shirt?

That'll only happen if that one prospect is the second coming of Christ and redemption for mankind can only be achieved by smacking many balls out of the yard.

Case in point: FP Santangelo.

Not sure how much that helped him.

Kind of a poor example...

Considering how many other MLB players (like McGuire) have used Steroids.

I wasn’t exactly being serious.

Oops....

I must be a bit edgy from coming off of my cycle.

I think a good rule is that if you see me comment, and it’s less than a paragraph long, it’s probably not serious.

My reputation on McCoveyChronicles for this kind of thing is much more established than it is here.

See, this comment: three paragraphs. Ergo, totally serious. Dead serious, in fact.

The oven mittens weren't serious

but the manicure definitely was, just look at those nails at 0:56.

What's wrong...

… with getting a manicure? And what does the public know about it have ANYTHING to do with how he’s going to be perceived or how he’s going to perform on the field?

wow, I love this guy

Wow, I laugh everytime I hear Crabtree talk. This guy just has character. Yeh, some people might call him cocky, but he deserves to be cocky, he is a star. And in my opinion its all good-natured cockiness. Crabtree you are the man.
