Aldon Smith is the bomb

It could happen to Pete Carroll.

Whiners are becoming Lions West.

You can track the arrests (not necessarily the status) of your favorite teams here:

 

ArrestNation.com

 

You can track by team.  Yes, the niners have been busy. 

 

Or Bungles.

Long and painful offseason.

What an idiot. But a nice thing to happen to such a delightful fan base.

The 49ers still aren't the most arrested team in the NFL. That distinction belongs to the Minnesota Vikings.

 

Finally one for the trophy case!

Not only does Culliver hate the gheys, he commits felonies...

Twenty-two of the 30 NBA teams have an entry on the ArrestNation web site.

The Milwaukee Bucks can't even crack that list.

I laughed out loud.  Excellent! 

Yes it could.  And with him, his players might just be an accomplice rather than the offenders.  Can't wait. 

Goodell might make them give back the Lombardi trophy. 

Denver should give back the Lombardi Trophy for SB32 since they were violating the salary cap rules.

Them violating the salary cap rules didn't turn Darius Holland into a worthless POS, their OL did.

 

They kicked our ass get over it. 

Or Gabe Wilkins.

Thank you, that's who I meant.

I got closure this past season. Denver/Elway got their asses kicked in the SB, Mike Shannahan got squeezed out of Washington by the QB, and Shannon Sharpe got fired from CBS. I think karma has been satisfied. 

Yes, Darius played like a wimp and was manhandled and I agree that we did NOT match Denver's intensity/agressiveness on the field.   However, by violating the cap, Denver was allowed to save money and have quality back-ups or keep their key "purple" starters instead of having them leave to other teams before the season.   Then, ol' Holmy had a tough decision:  keep an extra DL or DB active for the game.  He chose a DB because he thought we would have a lead and Elway would have to throw more.  Therefore, we didn't have anyone to back-up "Gabe the Lame".  So, Holland had to play end and he got run over every play in the 2nd Half.

 

Karma's 40 time is slower than mine, apparently.

Karma hasn't been the same since his use of performance enhancers caught up to him.

Karma is a bitch isn't it? So it must be a she.

You're right.  I was thinking of Dogma.

Butthurt stills remains 17 years later?

Dogma the Belief Hunter? 

Karma, dogma, butthurt. Is this the #4 jersey retirement thread?

Gee, I didn't think my throwaway comments about Denver would generate this much of a sh*tstorm.

How about every team other than the Packers should have to give back their Lombardi trophies?  Will that work?

Well, I'll be generous: Minnesota can keep the Lombardi trophies they've won to this point.

Well considering all of your comments should be thrown away I see what you mean.

I know I should let it go.  I forget about it, then, a comment is made and I'm back to January 25, 1998 and I get ticked off.  Sorry, it's hard to forget a contest when you know the other guy cheated. 

 

Same thing with the 1994 Whiners.  They cheated the cap, too.   I'm not saying the Chargers would've won the Super Bowl, but maybe the 1994 season goes a bit differently.  IIRC, we needed the Whiners to beat the ViQueens on the last game of the season that year on Monday night in order to win the division (we had tie-breaker over the ViQueens)...but noooooo.....Young only played a few series so he could set the QB rating record and the Whiners laid down a fart (that's another reason I hate the Whiners).  But who knows how them cheating the cap affected the NFC that year?

 

thanks for letting me vent...

Jerry Rice fumbled.

ProFootballTalk Report: 49ers "very unlikely" to pick up fifth-year option on Aldon Smith http://t.co/qm6q275Vti 4/15/14, 6:59 PM

Hard to believe SF would not pick up his option, let him become a FA and loose a dumb as **** but talented 1st round pick for nothing in return. 

 

Maybe the NFL already told SF last years rehab stint didn't take and they're tired of his act and plan on sitting him down for a year. 

 

As much as I hate SF it sucks watching a team that invests a high pick on a guy that cant function along with society and really has no choice but to kick his ass to the curb and get nothing in return for doing the right thing while knowing 20 teams are going to offer that same guy huge money thinking a change of scenery will fix everything but really never does. 

 

Id be ok with the NFL stepping in and throwing guys like Aldon out of the league entirely and offering teams a compensatory pick in the round that player was taken in. Why should SF be forced to keep an embarrassment because the worse option is letting him go for nothing when the big picture says he's really just embarrassing the NFL. 

I was with you, C'jon, until your last paragraph.

I have no sympathy for owners that lose dollars and draft picks on these guys. I'd be all for the NFL stepping in to throw these thugs out of the league, but I'd rather the owners be able to recoup bonus dollars paid to these guys instead of offering any compensatory pick.

Got to do something. The league has to bear some of the pain for teams forced to keep franchise image killers when that same league is filled with teams having zero regard for the big league picture willing to pay those failures top dollars.

Trying to recoup $8 million in bonus dollars is a spotty brown stain in the shorts to what Aldon could cost SF by keeping him.

Aldon Smith is a SF problem. He's a much larger NFL problem.

If SF cuts him, should the Pack bring him in for a look?

I don't think SF cuts him, but I love "Tequila Monster" questioning the chances of bringing in a guy battling alcoholism.

Better?

Jager Bomb?

I agree with Timmy!

 

It is partially the owner/GM fault for drafting the guy.....IF....IF they knew going into the draft that the player could be a "character-risk"; then they take the risk and either reap the reward or pay the consequences. I understand recouping the BONUS money, but I don't agree with giving the team salary cap mulligan.

 

There's a reason some of these players go later in the rounds than expected because many team do not want to take the chance.  They might draft them well down in the rounds just in case, but not a high pick.

 

 

I think if TT and MM interview him and he's willing to try a fresh start away from the bright lights after his NFL suspension, it could be a possibility because he can play the game. As long as there's no draft picks exchanged and he signs a low-ball contract at first.

 

But I just don't see him passing the TT/MM test.

 

I would not.  If you draft a turd, you get to deal with the consequences.  If that means stashing him on your roster simply to keep him away from someone else, then that's the price you pay for drafting said turd in the first place.  Not to mention, I'm not sure how you could possibly put objective criteria together to apply the Turd Compensatory Clause fairly.  

 

The draft is all about projection as we know.  That includes projecting how a guy is going to play on the field, how he's going to fit into an organization's culture and of course how he's going to handle himself away from work.  If you're willing to roll the dice on a piece of crap, then you have to be ready to pay the price if/when the poop hits the fan.  

Interesting conversation and makes me appreciate Harlan even more. He put football guys in place who try to put an emphasis on "good guys" and locker room chemistry.

 

 

Conversely, makes me wonder what deal Murphy made (and with whom) that he keeps pushing the #4 jersey retirement when: a) the fans seem mostly apathetic about it and; b) the principal seems disinterested or is still the jilted 15 yo bitch.

Agree with JJSD.

 

I would NOT be okay with allowing teams a do over for drafting a head case. If we allow that, then why not allow for a do over for a pick who ends up chronically injured (see Jamal Reynolds)? Or a re-do for a guy a team took who doesn't practice and is a lazy turd? I mean really, where does it end then?

 

Aldon Smith is a very talented player when his heads on straight. Well worth his draft position. Now he's got substance issues and mental health problems. Perhaps those were apparent all along. And if they were, then that's a risk SF took and that risk is entirely on them.

There were pre-draft concerns with Aldon Nova Smith. The NFL is real business, not some fantasy.

 

 

I see what you did there

and I did not need the italics...i am that damn good

A mullet loving rocker like you might not, but Kiel prolly does.
