OT - More 49ers Schadenfreude
SF becomes more of a mess. First, SF trades Vernon Davis for picks. SI is reporting 3 picks but it's really just a single pick gained (a 6th in 2017) and will flip 6th and 7th rounders this year. How SI can call that a trade for "three draft picks" makes no sense to me. Link
Second story from SF is that SF us benching Kaepernick for Gabbert. Hilarious. 49ers made the move a week before their bye in hopes of enticing a trade before the trade deadline (like some team is going to risk $31m in guaranteed salary for a questionable QB midseason). Link
Jed York and Trent Baalke, we salute you.

I enjoy the schadenfreude just for Jed York and Trent Baalke. I feel for their fans but love seeing those trust fund nit wits be exposed as morons. They fired Jim Harbaugh and are now a complete tire fire, meanwhile (surprise!) Jim Harbaugh has immediately turned around Michigan. I revel in Jed York's stupidity

and thank Lord Xenu for the incompetence of the 49ers organization that played such and instrumental part in Harbaugh landing back at Michigan, there should be no enjoyment in their suffering, only thankfullness that their stupidity(and a heaping helping of ego) was to Michigan's betterment.
All hail Lord Xenu, and Tom Cruise for being his shining beacon of light on earth, thank you again for Harbaugh being Michigan's football coach.

Our old friend Tim Kawakami has been going at it pretty hard this morning.
Re-cap: The 4 non-Harbaugh York coaches have gone 48-88 with no playoffs. Harbaugh went 44-19-1 with three playoffs.

Let me help you with that....
York was 27 years old with no experience at doing anything is handed the keys to a $2 billion+ organization and given free rein. Of course, being born on third base Jed thought he hit a triple.

is that I honestly think York and Baalke believed that they didn't need Harbaugh to win. That the team was just primed for victory and that they could have plugged in any random coach back in 2011 and rode him to the Super Bowl.
Now I'm sure they just believe that they are victims of roster attrition and nothing more.
Arrogant a-holes.

As a business, owning a NFL team is a sweet deal. Profit sharing on TV and NFL deals and a salary cap means short of total incompetence (or corruption) none of the owners will ever lose money or come close to losing money.
It could be that Jed York really doesn't care - he is going to make his money and even if only 20-30,000 show up at the home games, so long as he can take the public criticism it won't matter.
The more cynical owners put up a front o trying to field a winner - so they'll spend a few dollars on one famous college star or coach and milk that for 4-5 years and then start again. If this sounds cynical it is because of years of watching this happen with the Detroit Lions.
