He’s a lot like his former high school teammate Reggie Bush, in that they both had perfectly decent careers but because of their elite draft status were always expected to be more and just weren’t.

He’s a perfectly fine QB in an era where teams are starting either future Hall of Famers or a rotating dumpster fire, so it’s tricky for some ppl to talk about him, I guess. Being a #1 overall hurts him in the minds of some (not me) because of the expectations. He genuinely seems like a good guy and handled the…

No one who speaks German could be an evil man.

Hopefully not, but if so he had a fine career.... He made a living eating my Raiders alive. 

It feels like that was probably the end of Alex Smith’s career, which is really sad. I realize that he doesn’t get that much respect here, but the dude has done a lot and I was hoping that he would be able to at least quit on his own terms after this season or the next.

Joe’s doing great in his new career of person who offers condolences to victims of grotesque leg injuries.

Yeah, I grew up in the Bay Area and it used to rain when I was a kid. A LOT. It was, believe it or not, kind of a rainy place for a good portion of the year. Those rainy seasons have all but disappeared, while the “fire season” has just expanded and expanded.

My kids are selfish, entitled little narcissists who I would die for. But they are the way they are because that’s how kids are. (Also maybe because I’m…

Beat reporters? No fucking chance.

Goddamn snowflakes. Everybody knows a REAL man blames others for his own failures!

Wonder if Gundy applies that logic to himself when he left Maryland for a better gig at OSU.

It’s an institution’s reflex to perpetuate itself, to defend itself, to not admit any wrong. “We looked at (us), it’s fine. Nothing to see here.”

I still don’t understand why any of these people went to the mat for Durkin. It’s not like he’a a winning coach.

You got yourself the beginnings of a hit song on the modern country charts there, my friend.

I think he meant more like a daddy figure.

i got a twitter timeout for calling this guy a pile of shit

“I regret the fact I tried to be a father figure.”

Or...he’ll run the ball from his own 3 on 4th and 8, but won’t run the ball on 2nd and goal to go from the 1 in the Super Bowl?
