Mike Singletary: The Whole Story
Mike Singletary lost his debut as 49ers head coach, getting waxed by a Seattle team that entered the game with only one victory.Yet Singletary's post-game rant and his decision to send Vernon Davis to the showers was cheered from coast to coast, resonating with a nation of football fans tired of all the thugs, punks and bonus-baby divas in the NFL.
The whole story is even more bizarre.
At halftime of that game, Singletary called for the attention of his players.He then dropped his pants, turned around and pointed to his backside. He used this occasion and that visual to describe what happened to his team in the first half.
A NFL source inside the room confirmed the story with my radio partner, XTRA 910 football guru Mike Jurecki, and added that Singletary then addressed the team for 3-4 minutes with his pants around his ankles.
The 49ers trailed 20-3 at halftime. They would lose the game, 34-13.
So, the question in San Francisco becomes this: Does Samurai Mike's legendary intensity rally a football team or does the Crazy Man Act alienate a football team?
After all, old school only goes so far in the new world, especially with today's breed of pampered players.
