No Super Bowl for you.
Patriots cut a player the day before the Super Bowl, presumably just to set me up for that Seinfeld reference.
Aldon Smith isn't on the Pro Bowl ballot.
NFL needs to get their act together.
Cowboys at 49ers on YouTube
I sacrificed a Cowboys fan to the Copyright Law gods and now the full game is available on YouTube. Or rather, a Cowboys fan posted it and I had nothing to do with it whatsoever.
Don't worry: they included a disclaimer saying that they don't own the footage, so that makes it totally legal.
Phillip Adams to the Patriots
As if they needed another future hall-of-famer.
Peyton Manning needs more surgery.
Out indefinitely.
Da'Quan Bowers' career might be pretty much over already.
For those of you who wanted the Niners to draft him...
"There is concern by most teams that he might be essentially finished."
"...there is a large number of people who have seen the medical report from when he was re-checked in April that believe he is done."
NFL might go out of business...on purpose.
(As per Mike Florio, Pro Football Talk) There are rumors that if the Eight Circuit Court of Appeals upholds Judge Nelson's ruling that the lockout is illegal, the NFL might opt to shut down ALL business operations rather than lift the lockout. It would be a temporary legal maneuver, much like the decertification of the NFLPA, but I'm sure the UFL is licking its lips anyway.
Peter Schrager's 2012 mock draft
Peter Schrager has already released his first 2012 mock draft. He has the 49ers picking 13th and taking DT Billy Winn from Boise State. Based on this quote...
"[Aldon] Smith gets a defensive linemate to grow old with in San Francisco."
...I'm not sure he even knows we run a 3-4 defense. Fantastic expertise.
NFP writer blames Prince's draft fall on racial bias.
Dan Pompei of the National Football Post has accused the NFL of being biased against Nigerians, which he says is the reason Prince Amukamara "fell" to the 19th pick of the draft. Apparently the media still can't accept that they had this guy overrated.
(I'm linking to the Shutdown Corner article about it because the original article on NFP covered several topics in one post.)
Something about the stadium naming rights.
I don't have time to read it very carefully right now, but apparently the 49ers can't sell the naming rights by themsleves so they're gonna let a talent agency do it instead. That's probably not accurate, but that's what I'm typing in this field here and I'm about to hit "publish".
5 Dumbest Things Said About the Lockout
This is an opinion piece about the public discourse on the NFL lockout. Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports lists the five dumbest things said about the lockout by owners, players, and fans.
I personally am tired of the lockout and didn't read the whole thing, but I thought it should be linked here.
New SB Nation Blog about advanced football stats
There is no sports-related market SB Nation won't capitalize on. Soon there will be an SB Nation blog about tailgating. Then maybe one about stadium souvenirs. Or about sports that were played in the Middle Ages but no longer exist.
In the mean time, enjoy your advanced football stats.
Let's Play a Hate Game. [RANKINGS ARE FINAL]
by these3words on Mar 10, 2011 3:13 PM EST
on Niners Nation
It started on the Titans blog. Then it spread. The Lions blog adopted the idea. The Packers blog followed suit. From there it spread like wildfire until it was no longer just a fad; it became a full-fledged craze, sweeping the nation. Except, unlike the last national craze, this one won't cause you any permanent brain damage. (The brain damage caused by this post will be temporary.)
How do you play the Hate Game? Allow me to explain the rules through the delicate art of plagiarism copy and paste.
The following has been copied from the original post (which has now been moved here) by natidawg on Music City Miracles:
The premise is simple. You take a list of some kind, in this case, NFL Teams, assign them an arbitrary amount of points, and then every user can make a post once every 24 hours stating what team they would like to "Hurt" and what team they would like to "Heal". As an example...
Jacksonville Jaguars - 10
Houston Texans - 7
////////////////////natidawg posts: Save Houston, Kill Jacksonville/////////////////////
Jacksonville Jaguars - 9
Houston Texans - 8
Easy enough. Each Save and Kill is worth a point respectively. You want to Kill teams you dislike, and save teams you like. You have two total actions every 24 hours, so you don't have to necessarily Save one team and Hurt another. You can use both your actions to give points to a team (Double Save), or use them both to take points away (Double Kill). Once a team reaches 0, they have exploded into internet space forever. Ideally at the end of this, we'll have a ranking of all 32 teams from most to least favorite, based on which team survives the longest.
End of copied-and-pasted text.
So as I said above, the idea has been spreading to other SBN blogs and I thought I would start one here. I have listed all 31 other NFL teams after the jump, starting each one with 15 points. (The Titans blog started each team with 32 points, but their game is taking forever. I thought I'd speed things up.)

49ers add Greg Jackson as assistant secondary coach.
Does anyone else find it odd that when you create a FanShot the default setting is "image"? Shouldn't it be "link"?

on Mocking The Draft
For those of you who aren't aware, the SEC Digital Network uploads full football games to their website for free streaming. This can be a valuable tool for evaluating draft prospects who don't get their own YouTube videos, especially since every draft prospect who ever succeeded in the NFL came from the SEC. At least, that's what I'm told.
Anyway, their site is poorly designed and the links can be hard to find, so I've taken the time to hunt them all down and organize them into a FanPost for your convenience. You can thank me with cookies.
All links open in a new tab/window.

ProBowl Fan Voting Results
Some messed up stuff. James Harrison gets more votes than LaMarr Woodley, Cameron Wake, Tamba Hali, and Terrell Suggs? Andrew Whitworth gets more votes than Ryan Clady, Joe Thomas, and D'Brickashaw Fergusen? Ben Graham is your punter from the NFC? I'm pretty sure Ben Graham is only the third best punter in the NFC West, after Andy Lee and the Rams guy. At least they got the fullbacks right.
Keep in mind, fan voting is only one third of the equation, so nothing is final.
What's your definition of a "Franchise QB"?
by these3words on Dec 8, 2010 9:58 PM EST
on Niners Nation
A while ago, while commenting on this FanPost, I got into an argument with youALREADYknow about the chances of a QB drafted in the first round becoming a Franchise Quarterback. Part way through the argument, we realized that we weren't even using the same definition of what a Franchise Quarterback is. Then, in the latest Official Draft Thread, we ran into the exact same misunderstanding. As a result, I've decided to create a FanPost to ask everyone what a Franchise QB means to them, just to make sure we're all on the same page.
To me, "Franchise QB" has always been a short way of saying "a QB to build your franchise around." Based on that, I've come up with the following definition:
Franchise Quarterback: A Quarterback you can confidently build your franchise around without worrying that they might not pan out or wondering if you should look for an upgrade at the Quarterback position.
This definition not only includes the elite QBs like Peyton Manning, but also guys like Eli Manning and Matt Ryan. Is Eli Manning an elite Quarterback? No, and I don't know anyone who thinks he is. But on the other hand, you don't see any Giants fans wondering if their team should be looking for a new Quarterback. To me, that's a franchise QB right there.
On the other hand, youALREADYknow seems to use the term "Franchise QB" as a short way of saying "a QB who pretty much IS your franchise". This definiton would limit you to guys like Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers who you could plug into any lineup and immediately have a respectable team, or at least a respectable offense.
Which way do you use the term "Franchise QB"? Or do you use it to mean something entirely different? Let me know in the poll and/or the comment section.
Have you ever Googled your username?
by these3words on Nov 27, 2010 6:43 AM EST
on Niners Nation
Have you ever Googled your username? If not, I strongly recommend it.
I recently did a Google search of "these3words" and discovered the following music video:
Wow. This chick has it bad for me. I would like you to notice one line in particular:
these3words, have you heard, that you're my everything?
I don't know who Elise Estrada is, but apparently I'm her everything. And then there's this line:
There's no one else who rocks my world. You know I'll always be your girl...
Apparently I'm in a commited relationship with this girl, and I've never even met her. (No, that douchebag in the video isn't me. They really should have consulted me before casting that guy as these3words.)
Okay, so a hot chick who only knows me by my SB Nation username is in love with me. What does this mean? Clearly, it means my football knowledge should be respected more than everyone else on this site. Does Fooch have hot chicks making music videos to profess their love for him? No. Does Tre9er have hot chicks calling him their "everything"? No. Does bignerd ride around town in a pink convertible? Maybe. But probably not with Elise Estrada. Obviously, I know more about football than all of them.
One more thing: I'm considering going back to the blonde chick at the end of the video. What should I do?
Xavier Fulton signed to 49ers practice squad.
He claims to be an "offensive tackle". I think we've seen enough offensive tackling from this team.
MATT KOPA WAS OUR FUTURE!
Well, the Miami Dolphins have done it again. They've raided our practice squad and signed stolen OT Matt Kopa. We should come up with a rotating schedule and assign people to guard the practice squad. Our future depends on it.

Santa Clara stadium "could" be delayed by a year.
Jed York says the new stadium they're trying to build in Santa Clara "could" (read "will") be delayed by at least a year. He blames the labor situation. I blame him.
Chris Maragos promoted to active roster
This is actually an article about Michael Crabtree, but part way down it says Chris Maragos has been promoted to the active roster. He takes the spot left by Curtis Taylor being put on IR.
Niners claim Spillman, cut Brock and Caulcrick.
I know there's already two FanShots about them claiming C.J. Spillman, but this article says they released Tramaine Brock to make room for him, and apparently they cut Jehuu Caulcrick from the practice squad while they were at it.

Chad Ochocinco is planning to fire a rifle as his latest touchdown celebration.
