49ers

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000149401/article/report-anquan-bol... ESPN has confirmed the sources that Anquan Boldin has been traded to the 49ers. With the ravens wanting salary cap relief, they wanted Anquan Boldin to take a 2 million dollar deduction, which Boldin refused, wanting to play for his original contract. Wow....49ers are stacked and they only had to give up a 6th round pick

Great article about how Jim Harbaugh deals with press conference interactions.  Hint, he only directly answers 38% of questions thrown his way.  I think we see this in alot of coaches, especially Hoke, but this is the first time I've seen a statistical break down of a football coach's press conference.

 

Perhaps if this sort of analysis takes off journalists will use it to craft questions that coaches would be more likely to answer.  Maybe mathlete could improve upon this method to help us further decipher "coach speak".
