According to Kaepernick: 'And God has brought me this far'. Well, Flacco might have the same deranged sentiment but until further notice...GO RAVENS! Although, I do find it rather amusing that a god is nothing but a career coach, a godly coach that helps only some people climb the mountains of fortune and leave the rest in the ditch; sounds something only stupid humans could conjure up in their simpleton minds.

Chris Culliver, CB for the 49ers made some comments today that may not go over real well in San Francisco:

Culliver said neither he nor his teammates would welcome a gay player in their locker room.
"I don't do the gay guys, man. I don't do that," Culliver said during a taped, one-minute podcast with Artie Lange.
Asked if the 49ers have any homosexual players, Culliver responded: "No. Ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff." Culliver reiterated that was a true statement, and when asked if a good player might be welcomed anyhow, he said: "Nah. Can't


be ... in the locker room, man. Nah."
Culliver then suggested homosexual athletes keep their sexuality private until 10 years after they retire.
On Wednesday, the 49ers released the following statement: "The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."

Isn't that the detective from "Law and Order: Criminal Intent"?

That can't be Bill Belichick. The guy in the photo is smiling.

Randy Moss talking about how Tennessee "blackballed" him in 2010. Because even though his team plays in the Super Bowl in a few days, it's all about Randy. All the time.

His soul brother, Brett Favre, will be a special analyst on the NFL Network. I'm tempted to count the number of "I", "me", "Brett Favre" references he uses.

The absolute best description I have found of the 49er run attack, of which, the read option is only a piece.

In related news, the 49ers lost. And Frank Gore thinks the Ravens 'got away with one' with the win.

No shit, one of my earliest memories is from the zoo as my younger brother (I was five, he was two) imitated the noises of the Galapagos Tortoises making baby Galapagos Tortoises. Kind of a low rumbling "Huuuuuuuuuurm, huuuuuuuuuurm, huuuuuuuurm." Jeezus, I didn't know I had that one stored away.
