    49ers don't want Stafford because he won't open up to shrink

     

    By Chris Chase

     

    There are a number of reasons an NFL team wouldn't draft a certain quarterback. Maybe they'd be concerned about his arm strength, or footwork, or accuracy, or football IQ. There are literally dozens of flaws a signal caller might have. The San Francisco 49ers have found a new one.

     

    Reports say that Mike Singletary and the Niners won't draft Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford because he was reluctant to talk to a team psychologist about his parent's divorce. Said Singletary:

     

    "If you're going to look at drafting a guy in the first round, and you're going to pay him millions of dollars, and asking him about a divorce about his parents, if that's going to be an issue, uhhh, then you know what, maybe he doesn't belong here."

     

    Let me get this straight: A 21-year old doesn't want to talk to some stranger about his parent's divorce? Inconceivable! Such a reaction surely portends NFL mediocrity!

     

    Honestly, that's an utterly bizarre quote from Singletary. The 49ers have to do their due diligence in researching the backgrounds of draft picks, but what does not wanting to talk about a traumatic childhood event have to do with leading a football team?

     

    The concern about psychology is especially strange coming from Singletary, who attempted to motivate his team last year by dropping his pants before giving a half-time speech. I'm pretty sure he got that idea from Freud.

    Capel vs. Coach K. That would bring a little interest to the ACC. snoring at the moment.

     

    Dixon looks like one of the bad guys on The Goonies.

     

    Rumor has been snuffed.

     

    UVA hired Wash St's Tony Bennett.

    Apparently, Fred Smith has gotten involved, and they are coming up with a plan to match UK's offer with cash + STOCK OPTIONS. WTF?

     

    I'm sure this will make FedEx employees who took a company wide %5 pay cut happy.

    Sooie,what's your take on that ... are we being too paranoid?

     

     

    I dunno. UK has a big reputation to uphold. I think it's fair to be concerned. I think the writer is just writing something differ from the circle jerk.

     

     

    I've never been a Calipari fan mostly because Memphis thinks they are something now, not because of the sleeze factor.

    The John Calipari era is over at the University of Memphis. Apparently, Calipari could not resist the lure of what he calls 'the Notre Dame of college basketball.' He has rejected the counteroffer from Memphis and will sign on and be introduced as the new Wildcats' head coach as soon as late this afternoon.

     

     

     

    Local media also says Roburt Sallie will transfer.
