Re: Mandatory Monday: Here's the Clincher

If your sister is a fiesty 24 y/o Carrie Fisher-looking space princess a certain amount of smug satisfaction is justified. And if that's wrong, right is overrated.

I believe Mike is the only Monday-morning football commentator I would trust with the word "banal".

Re: Mandatory Monday: Here's the Clincher

I think he might mean "un-prepossessing" rather than un-presupposing.

The opening section was beautifully written Mike.

Re: Mandatory Monday: Here's the Clincher

"On Sunday, he took a safety for intentional grounding in the end zone on a play that started at the 17-yard line."

It was a terrible call, the throw clearly crossed the line of scrimmage.

"If Kaepernick’s first receiver was not open, he just ran for daylight or tried to force the ball."

Really, several times he climbed the pocket or moved to find space while progressing through two or three reads. The four dropped passes didn't help and the line, Iupati in particular, was pretty mediocre. They surrendered nearly constant pressure and failed to open holes for Gore, which was where the game was really lost.

It's also not Kaepernick's fault that the niners sometimes get so over reliant on gadget play nonsense, I'm sure anyone can guess which play I'm thinking of. The niners' offense was at its best yesterday when Kaepernick was dropping back to pass, blaming him is the obvious but incorrect choice.

Love it.
