Your Daily Dose of Sunshine Returns

I may have been too optimistic when I thought the Niners had a shot at 3-13 this year. Unless the Raiders unexpectedly show up a couple of times on their regular-season schedule, we're looking at 2-14 exceeding current expectations.

Meanwhile, Lil' Jed was all too happy to chat about his awesome experience sitting in Section 50 at the game the other night. Given the poor attendance, I'd say he had roughly a half-dozen other folks joining him there. I'd like to see him try that stunt during the Dallas, Pittsburgh or Giants games this year and get an earful from real (paying) fans as they watch their Niners get their asses kicked in a real game.

And now, (links to) the news:

Sports Illustrated's Peter King on the Niners' chances in 2011:
"I think, from what I've seen in the preseason so far, the 2010 Stanford coach has a pretty decent chance to coach the 2011 Stanford quarterback on the 2012 San Francisco 49ers."

From SFGate.com:
49ers' Offensive Linemen Forced to Watch Film of their Atrocious Performance

A fine photo gallery from SFGate.com answers this question: What do Stepehen McGee, Chase Daniel, Charlie Whitehurst, Greg McElroy and Tyrod Taylor have in common?

Another gem from the SF Gate:
Beyond the proposed new stadium's stark financial picture (Niners have only raised roughly 1/4 of the funds needed to build this facility), questions are now being raised about too much traffic and not enough parking allocated for gameday.

Progress? The Merc's Tim Kawakami says the 49ers are going backwards.

"Forever Faithful?" How much did they pay people to embarrass themselves like this?

UPDATE: Niners may be in trouble for letting Crabtree practice; still can't get anything right.
