Neither Warm Nor Fuzzy, Singletary's Niners

Nolan, several Niners players say, lost the team last season, which began with high expectations following a 7-9 campaign in ‘06. Midway through a year in which San Francisco would lose eight consecutive games and finish 5-11, Nolan gave a speech to the team on the Monday after a defeat in which he announced an end to his lenient ways. It soon became known derisively in the locker room as the “Warm and Fuzzy” speech.

“He got up there and said, ‘I’m done with the warm and fuzzies,’ ” recalled one player who witnessed the talk. “He said, ‘I’ve made it too warm and fuzzy around here for too long. No more (expletive) warm and fuzzy.’ It was comical. He was up there ranting and raving and clearly trying to be something he wasn’t.”

Added another Niners player: “It was a total front. I had a comeback waiting for him if he ever said it again: ‘It’s real warm and fuzzy on the sidelines, (expletive).’ ”

Fuck yeah!

I'd imagine good 'ol Mike Nolan patting VD (the most appropriate of initials right now) on the ass after that personal foul penalty while telling him to go gettem next time.

We got a bye week this week and it's at the right time after such an embarrasing loss. Watching a fullback with neon green shoes race past your defense for two 40+ yard touchdown receptions and JTO trying to become the best NY Giants-era Kurt Warner he can be can AGAINST THE FUCKING SEAHAWKS was like watching yourself get cockblocked at a bar by a morbidly obese eunuch; you probably weren't getting the number anyways but jesus christ you couldn't imagine it was because of that guy.

That's what makes the press conference afterwards much more satisfying. Singletary said on Monday that there were some cancers on the team (*cough* Jonas Jennings maybe?) and they needed to be fixed before it multiplies and the bye week can't come at a more perfect time to fix this situation. To be last place in the most mediocre division in the history of pro football is absolutely horrid, but at least that press conference spread some optimism for Niner fans that are practically the living dead when thinking about this team right now.

Another good thing about axeing Nolan is that we don't have to see that godawful nickel sub-package that he loved so much that he blamed his players for not executing properly. I don't know if Martz got butthurt for losing the interim coach race, but him and Singletary's philosophies seem to be at opposing ends of the spectrum. Martz masturbates to 4WR go routes while the other Mike stated he wants a tougher offense. I'd be more inclined with Martz if we had a Hall of Fame o-line and a bunch of Torry Holts on the roster, which I think he thinks we have considering the playcalling I've seen all year. The other Mike has stated he wants a tougher offense in place, so we'll see how that turns out.

We might be 2-6, but I don't think we'll see that cancer spreading under Singletary's watch.
