Employment as a professional entertainer requires the whole package - including a customer service ethic. Being a Professional Angry Negro disqualifies most applicants.

Here! Here! I have said this repeatedly. He was being paid to perform, period. Quite Frankly, if he carried the team to at least the play offs then none of this would be happening. When yo are at the top of the game you are given a bit of leeway...when you are the towel boy then its a little different isn’t it?

I have been a 49ers fan since forever. I have been through losing seasons after losing season. I enjoyed the Montana and Young years because it was thrilling football. Capernick had a spark that quickly faded.

Then again I think that all of professional football has degraded to some extent. It just doesn’t seem like football anymore. Maybe its all the rule changes etc...too much hype like every game is some Celestial Rolling Stones Concert to something...I take baseball any day...Nice slow even pace interrupted with an occasional play. Good announcing makes the game.

Take about announcers. The Giants had Hank Greenwald for a number of years and I think he was one of their best announcers. I liked Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons, but Hank brought something to the booth that was special. He could spin a story around pitch after fly ball and carry it through a double header...He was great. But then again that was on radio which is the proper medium for baseball in my opinion.

I digress here....Capernick...he can go sell cars or something...He’s done. He couldabeen a contender but mucked it up himself.
