I wouldn't say it was blatant by any stretch of the imagination. On slow-mo replay you could kind of make a case for a holding call, but even with the benefit of that I'd still call it questionable.

I thought Jim Harbaugh should have taken the delay of game penalty. With a little more field it might have been easier to sneak something in there, but jammed up at the line they just couldn't make it happen. Plus, that TO would have been real handy after failing to converge.

A holding call on the 4th down play would have been an outrage. It would have handed the 49ers the SB gift wrapped on a silver platter courtesy of a questionable ticky tack call. I say good no call.

There's already money to sign Levitre and Byrd, but it would be nice to have more to sign a FA or two.

That's exactly what I said to my wife. They're trying to either gross people out or create controversy for free publicity after the fact. The part that grated on me wasn't the visual but the auditory part. The sound drives me insane, just like listening to people smack their food. I'd kind of like to drill the director square in the mouth for making me hear that.

Sorry if we offended you by saying mean things about your pedestal standing stroke vixen, but your retort here displays nothing other than your inability to comprehend the subject matter...okay, okay, it also displays your propensity for celebrity hero worship. It's hard to imagine the young impressionable kids of the generation shooting people to watch them die because Johnny Cash sang about it, and no one (at least not me) is claiming there's anything inherently wrong about having sexual subtext to a song. However, when you're a pop-culture icon singing about ditching your significant other to go whore around at the club, or how you get wet for a street thug, kids actually do often take their cues from this kind of thing and act accordingly. Personally I'm not offended by explicit material, or things of a carnal nature, but let's call a duck a duck. I also like Mojo Nixon and Hank 3 but I doubt they'll be celebrated in prime-time anytime soon.

That's what I was thinking. If the story is true about him screwing over his team in a tight OT game when they desperately needed a win, and he's !@#$ing around like a spoiled child who didn't get his way, I can't imagine any GM worth his salt even giving this guy a glance.

Dude, that's the best part.

Listen to some of her songs; she's trash. One of her first hits glorified cheating & whoring around (not that I have a problem with that, but...). She had another about wanting a "soldier" which had nothing to do with soldiers; it was about wanting a thug, which is a great message to send to impressionable adolescents - hot girls like thugs. I believe these are recurring themes for her. The fact that she parades around in every recent video or prime-time performance understaffed for a Maxim spread just tells me she's an exhibitionist who'd probably do a Hustler spread if she wasn't already famous. I don't hate her for it, but according to the cultural mores of our society she is objectively sleazy.

The makeout commercial? That was a bit much.

I don't feel sorry for either of them. Bledsoe has a great outlook - he understands how fortunate he was just to play in the league & to make that kind of money. If the worst thing in your life is losing (or sitting) in a football game you've got a pretty gravy life. That's another point altogether. In this particular situation, if I'm Alex Smith, that ring means nothing more to me than a participation trophy.

She was also treated like the town whore. Granted, the culture has lightened up over the last few decades, (which is partly why I loved the 90s so much) but I still find it interesting that this sleazy chick is so glorified & celebrated, almost in a "girl next door" kind of way.

I'll give you the rest, but she's a very limited dancer. She's a great dancer in the way Aaron Williams is a great cover corner. He's better than the average Joe off the street but very bad for the league he's in. Same thing here; all her dances are choreographed to work within her limited skill set. Not that I give a ****, as far as I'm concerned she's just something to look at. My only gripe with her has less to do with her & more to do with her perception. She's every bit as trashy as Madonna, and that's fine, but then she's treated as though she's some kind of national treasure. I don't get it.

I wouldn't say that exactly. If it had really worked out they'd have won. I get your point, that he turned it around & played very well in the second half & capitalized on the opportunities the D & ST gave him, but he did get stopped at the endzone with victory 6 yds away.

W You think Bledsoe gets the warm fuzzies when he looks at the ring he got courtesy of Tom Brady? It's one thing to be a role player who contributed along the way, like Bernie Kozar in Dallas, but when you're the starter who gets benches midseason to never see the field again? That ring would be a sore that never heals.

Damn, beat me to it.

She's basically a glorified stripper with a mic & I dig it. I don't know that the singing adds anything though.

If I were AS I may or may not want my team to win, depending on what kind of relationship I had with the other players, but I wouldn't care about the ring at all.

Ray Lewis is to this SB what Bettis was to the Pit/Sea SB: Washed up former star on his last legs riding his team to the title & then soaking up all the glory. Instead of thanking God he ought to thank Flacco, Jacoby Jones, & Boldin.

This poor girl needs a shoulder to cry on, and I bet I can make Baltimore by 2 pm.

That's Donald Driver. Jennings would be a great pickup, but he's probably going to want too much money.

It's true that a lot of people seem to be under the impression that the Bills are exempt from the salary cap, but adding 1 or 2 quality FAs wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Sure, we can't throw out any more Mario style contracts, but if you can add (for example) Dwayne Bowe for < $10 mil/yr that's not necessarily a bad move. If he were on the roster and we let someone else sign him for that we'd be up in arms over it. It's a matter of paying for talent without overpaying for it.

I'm letting my family & friends know that if anyone has a boy, I got dibs on "Mother!@#$er"

Is that the handle his lovin parents gave him?

All I'm saying is I think we can get more with the cap room than what we'd have gotten from them. Whitner's good, but G Wilson (contrary to popular belief) isn't a huge dropoff there. Poz would be an improvement over Shepard, but he's still not much; he's a liability in coverage and no more than an average run stuffer. Paying top money for average talent isn't a good way to build a winner. If we paid them what they wanted to stay we'd have $14 million less to spend this year. I think we can get a lot more value for that money in FA than what we'd have gotten out of them.
