David Boston: Robocop

Pretty much, it's not as Gangsta or Hollywood down here though. The city and beaches are a heck-of-a-lot cleaner too.

We play 1 crap game offensively and all of a sudden... we get a bunch of pillowbiters charging in here with their chests all stuck out.  Amazing!

You've GOTTA love week 1!

PS- you can't deny the eagles looked like crap...on monday night in the year 2005. (not like in '81 when Oakland crushed them in the super bowl!)

Yep...they looked like crap. The Eagles went without their starting MLB, McNabb sustained a big injury early...and they still made it a close game. Can you honestly put the Niners in the same universe as the Eagles and Falcons, talent wise?

I'm predicting a shutout, there, I said it.

Mike Martz coaches the Rams.  A group od old ladies could beat them.

It didn't take long for Terrell Owens to get wind of his ex-teammate's comments to the press. Yesterday, 49ers linebacker Derek Smith told local news "He was just kind of in it for himself. I don't like the fact that someone's in there playing dominoes with their friends while we're out there practicing ... and then they just come out Friday because they think they're that good and they can come out and play. I didn't agree with any of that. I don't care who you are. No one's above the team."

Today at a press conference, Owens fired back at his ex-teammate.

"You know, when I was in San Francisco, I don't think he said two words to me. For someone who knows so much about what I went through with my groin, he's a pretty soft player himself."

"If he calls what he did 'practice,' you have to wonder where he gets off taking shots at me. I mean, since I just slept on the rehab table and showed up and still torched him in practice, maybe he should just shut up."

"I never had a problem with him when I was there, but if he wants to come at me, he can take his best shot. I ain't scared. Am I supposed to be afraid of a guy who just dives at people's legs and waits for players to come to him? With the way he's talking, you'd think he's Ray Lewis."

Owens didn't stop there. He also somehow got onto the subject Jerry Rice's comments from a month ago.

"He's probably still upset about my book (Owens wrote some revealing details about Rice in his book, "Catch This"). But I didn't even scratch the surface of what he was really like behind the curtains. Ya'll can ask anyone who ever played with him. He had his own contract dispute in 1997 and I never told him to shut up and play. Every receiver on that team idolized him, and he just did everything in his power to shun us. There's a reason nobody in the league wanted him as a mentor this year."

When asked about the fans in San Francisco, Owens was more cordial.

"For the fans that actually supported me throughout my time there, I really feel bad that it didn't work out. But I'm not sorry that I made the decision I made. That franchise has clearly lost interest in winning Super Bowls."

Owens also complimented Tim Rattay on his performance last week.

"Like I said all along, he's a good quarterback. Had we had him as the starter in 2001 and 2002, I think we would've won the whole thing. He's a great passer and a great competitor. I think he might be like Drew Brees was last year, but if he's going to win as many games, he'll need Derek Smith to start facing up on his tackles."

Nice.

I think he was just trying to make the point (as he did in his book) that Garcia sucks.

I think that whole blurb is made-up, by the way... unless someone can actually find a link.

It's still funny, though... because it's true.

I had to laugh this piece of a transcript in one of the ESPN Insider chats:

"The Niners are much better under new head coach Mike Nolan and a very impressive staff of assistants including Mike singletary, Billy Davis, Bishop Harris and Jerry sullivan among others. I see them tripling their win total this season, which means they probably have a few more upsets up their sleeves."

Oh, please, God...don't let Philly be one of those 6 big wins this year!
