Golden Nuggets: Hope it's good for us.

Morning folks. Coming back at you with another bit o' Nuggets for ya. It seems that McCloughan is indeed out as 49ers GM, despite the team not being outward about such a thing. Naturally, most of the links I have will pertain to this happening. Be it speculation on what actually happened, to speculation as to what this means going forward for the draft, to who will take over as GM, to how much power Mike Singletary really has with GM-related responsibilities. I have some other links for you as well, some concerning free agent guard Chester Pitts. Either way, I'm starting late again.. so I'm going to get right to the links.

So it's pretty much confirmed that Scot McCloughan is out as the GM. (MercuryNews.com)

McCloughan says that he'll be back in the league at some point. I don't know, I figured he was pretty good... this isn't a good thing, currently. (NFL.com)

Leave it to this site to begin such speculation, but I suppose Schefter also commented on it. Apparently Green Bay is a possible place for McCloughan to land... so are 30 other teams, mind you. (ProFootballTalk.com)

Guard Chester Pitts still made his visit to the 49ers. (PressDemocrat.com)

If Pitt signs with the 49ers, he expects to start. (PressDemocrat.com)

People with the 49ers organization have spoken to Adam 'Pacman' Jones, but head coach Mike Singletary was not present during these talks. (PressDemocrat.com)

The 49ers stadium measure has been dubbed 'Measure J'. (MercuryNews.com)

It seems QB David Carr could be competing for the starting job. (ProFootballWeekly.com)

49ers value offsesaon workouts... Seems kind of obvious if you ask me, but yeah. (49ers.com)

Hey I'm uh... I'm not cool with this. This Joey Porter stuff, and being signed by the Cardinals. I didn't want to sign him personally, but I didn't want a guy with that potential to go to a division rival. (RevengeOfTheBirds.com)

BOONE IS BEAST

Just saw that guy in person – holy crap! Look out for him to make the team this year if he can get his footwork down.

You don’t seem to be a fan of ProFootballTalk… I know nothing about it, what don’t you like? I do recall Peter King saying Florio is the most connected man in the NFL, but other than that I’m curious why you aren’t a fan

While Florio has his fair share of...

… good stories, Pro Football Talk began as a shoddy rumor mill website where Florio would post story after story without knowing what he was doing and just crossing his fingers, waiting for one of them to be right. When one of his ‘guesses’ would come true, everyone would herald him as smart and all these things because he happened to have one correct guess amid a bunch of crap. Throughout the past few seasons he has cited ‘inside sources’ to tell us startling revelations such as: Crabtree wants money, Mike Singletary is passionate and Vernon Davis is a tight end. It’s just the amount of stupid crap that comes from PFT outweighs that of the quality work that I KNOW Florio can produce. I take that site (as does most of the internet, mind you) with a huge grain of salt.

And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Quitting with class

Ever quit a job that you just didn’t like? Maybe the real reason you didn’t like the job was because you hated the people you work with. You would cite some fake reason for quitting. But you couldn’t say that you hated everybody- that would make you sound like a criminal. Instead, you cited some other fashionable reason to make your departure understandable.

I think Scot felt that the york ownership was not going to come thru in 2010. You was fed up with Jed York and his inept leadership. Could Scot really say something like that to Jed York? The answer is no. It would be smart to quit with diginity rather than to be dragged thru the mud and then fired later.
