Texts from Yesterday

The Niners' incompetence on the field and subsequent Singletary firing yesterday fueled a ton of text messages appearing on my BlackBerry through last night. A sampling below, partly to illustrate to the clowns running this organization how fans have been reacting to the latest chapter in 8 years of buffoonery:

10:24 - "Could this team play any stupider?" (in response to a first-quarter text to me wondering if Singletary would get fired after the game)

10:26 - "Are they really this dumb, or coached this poorly? No sign of desperation - doesn't even look like they're trying to win"

10:37 - "F##king joke. How many penalties already?" (I think the answer was six at this point)

10:39 - "Can't even take snaps from center. Not sure why the guy who was a center for the last five years and was the starter going into this year is not the backup" (neither was I - but I gave up following the Niners' offensive line shuffle months ago)

10:40 - "Yeah - fire him at halftime. Under-prepared and outcoached - again."

10:49 - "3rd and 20 draw play to a backup RB. F**k this team - I hope they lose 50-0

11:15 - "I hate to say this but I actually think they'd  be better with Alex Smith today" (my response - "I think its a moot point - they'll lose regardless")

11:16 - "Did I hear correctly that these idiots deferred to start the game, only to give up that td on the first drive?"

11:58 - "I think (Singletary) is leading the league in sideline altercations with QBs. Say hello to Alex. What a f@@king joke - again.

12:45 - "Ok - what's this change (referring to A Smith) supposed to do?" My response - "End the season, likely"

12:46 - "QB controversy!" (from a sarcastic Chargers fan)

12:51 - (following A Smith's fumble) - "Classic end"

1:04 - "I'm pissed at myself because I was rooting for a win. I'm a loser"

1:07 - "See ya Clements, Lawson, both Smiths, Coach Singletary, fatso Jeff Feed, TKO, Shawntae Spencer, the whole D-line." My response - "See ya, season ticketholders. If A Smith was put in for a do or die drive, why didn't he start? F you Singletary, you f@@king idiot." I use the F-word a lot on game day.

1:14 - "Underachieving losers"

4:44 - "Shit day, for sure" (to a Chargers fan)

5:03 - "Singletary fired." (this was the first news I received about this finally happening)

5:39 - "Also heard Baalke will be a GM candidate. Unreal." (my buddy's response - "That makes me sick")

5:44 - "I can name about 5 players that can return. Everybody else should be gone. Except Rathman - they can let him stick around in a "what would Eddie do" advisory capacity and to keep these jokers in line."

9:20 - "Who's Jim Tonsula?" My response: "Dunno - where did you hear the name?"

10:05 - "He's the new head coach. Looked him up - he's the d-line coach"

10:09 - "Good. Love how they picked an even less qualified guy. Was the waterboy too busy?"

10:10 - "They were going to hire Walsh until they found out he was dead"

10:11 - "I guess that takes Joe Thomas out of the running for GM"

10:14 - "Maybe they can get Red Hickey to install the shotgun offense"

10:20 - "Figure they have about 45 days to impress ticketholders before the 2011 invoice is sent. Good luck a$$holes"

10:23 - "Remember when we cared about this kind of stuff? I so f@@king don't care about the next f@@kup they'l make."

10:24 - "Hope they fire those stupid idiots in Niner Noise, too."
