49ers coach Mike Singletary appeared on KPIX in San Francisco on Thursday for an interview with Dennis O’Donnell.
And Singletary wasn’t happy with the decision of O’Donnell to ask about a Yahoo! Sports report that the 49ers are losing faith in offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye. (Singletary seemed to be miffed because he had talked about the issue at a press conference earlier in the day.)
We can’t really do the thing justice by writing about it; you need to see it to appreciate it.
Here are our favorite quotes:
1. “Don’t base an entire man’s career on a dad-gum Yahoo commercial.”
2. Asked about trying to stop quarterback Drew Brees, Singletary cut off the question. “We will not try to stop Drew Brees. We will stop Drew Brees. Next question.”
3. Asked about trying to move the ball against the Saints, Singletary again cut off the question. “We will not try to move the ball against the New Orleans defense. We will move the ball and we will score.”
It’s possible that the 49ers are more entertaining when they’re not playing a game. Then again, Monday night’s game against the Saints should be pretty dad-gum entertaining.
