OT: Poor Damn 'Niners™
And the hits keep on coming in San Fran...you shouldn't have poked the Har-Bear, Mr. York.
After the firing of head coach Jim Harbaugh, the 49ers have undergone a series of dramatic changes, including a slew of free-agent departures and the retirement of linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland. Now they can add injury to insult with the news that reserve linebacker Chase Thomas has torn his ACL while working out at Stanford
The San Francisco 49ers are cursed. That's got to be it at this point.
Oh the irony is delicious...and so are your tears Mr. York:

The tone seems off here because it's an injury, but I'm pretty impressed that the superscript "TM" somehow makes it into the URL as a superscript "TM" (at least in Chrome).
March 20th, 2015 at 10:31 AM ^
I was surprised as well.
The point was not to devalue or laugh at the injury specifically to Mr. Thomas. The intent was (as with many other posts) to point and laugh at the mess that is the 49'ers.
I'll take my lumps though, since apparently I am tone-deaf. :)

Just run with it. The context is a little off, but it wasn't malicious. I awarded you a +1 for a participation ribbon.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:48 AM ^
Thanks 1484!
March 20th, 2015 at 12:25 PM ^
and the only prescription is more Harbaugh
March 20th, 2015 at 12:29 PM ^
What are 49ers fans going to do with their old "Who's got it better than us" t-shirts?
March 20th, 2015 at 12:44 PM ^
Jed, Nein!
Thus, I am a Neiner fan.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:55 AM ^
You're not tone-deaf, it's the hive mentality of those who need to pile on. +1 to you.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:50 AM ^
Just to point out, the TM symbol in the link is a recognized html symbol just like @ ! $ etc. The TM character is premade to look superscript; the address bar isn't rendering it differently than any other letter or symbol.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
Am I misreading this post or is the entire purpose of the thread to laugh at one person ("Mr. York") because another person (Chase Thomas) suffered a torn ACL?
March 20th, 2015 at 10:29 AM ^
Since I am getting negged, apparently there is misunderstanding here..
There have been COPIOUS threads about the state of the 49'ers since "separating" from Harbaugh. The Schadenfreude has been flowing like a waterfall, and didn't think this was any different.
In no way am I minimizing the injury to Mr. Thomas. This was solely to highlight the tire fire that the 'Niners have become since parting ways with Harbaugh.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:50 AM ^
Think about Ohio State. Do we want them to lose every game they ever play? Of course. Do we want one of their linebackers to tear his ACL? I certainly hope not. And if one of their linebackers does happen to tear his ACL, I would hope the information isn't presented in a mocking tone.
If you hate the 49ers, fine. Why bother, but fine. Celebrate their free agent departures, celebrate their losses when the season starts. But I don't think an injury to Chase Thomas (who played for Jim Harbaugh at both Stanford and San Francisco) is a cause for laughter.
March 20th, 2015 at 11:07 AM ^
I did one a week or so ago that got people in a jeering mood. I think we just need to give it some space.
I have nothing against Niner players...even when Jim was in the league their battles with Seattle were the best rivalry in the NFL. Don't know if I even have anything against Baalke either, or Tomsula...Tomsula just seems like someone way too underqualified for his job.
Only one I really dislike is York, and I also like him because we have Harbaugh now. So I'm content now that their disastrous free agency/offseason is winding down to hold off, until they go 6-10. Which I think they will.
March 20th, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
run its course here and it's time to move on. We all know how much their upper management are ass-clowns. But, I'm very, very happy we now have Coach Harbaugh and they don't and I'll leave it at that. There is nothing wrong or bad about their players or fans. In fact I feel sorry for them.
How much success and Super Bowl wins have they enjoyed over the years? Now think of all the poor bastards that have rooted for, lived, and mostly died, with the Lions. If you are going to be sympathetic, be sympathetic for Lion's fans who have lived their whole lives without even sniffing a Super Bowl, as opposed to being so for a bunch of spoiled people who have had more than their fair share of success.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
Don't care - the Niners are dead to me now. Harbaugh!
March 20th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
These aren't "hits" for York and Baalke, just excuses.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:07 AM ^
As a niners fan, I appreciate all the coverage the forum here is giving me...
As a Michigan fan, how about trying to enjoy what we have for once and quit talking about how stupid the 49ers are. WE KNOW.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
^This
get out the banhammer for anyone who posts "Oakland is still in play" please. Starting ... now .... of course.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:47 AM ^
Yo team so stupid they took a spoon to the Super Bowl.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:49 AM ^
fans may know...but Baalke and York are doing their best to act like they DON'T know.
March 20th, 2015 at 11:06 AM ^
and we care why?
March 20th, 2015 at 11:37 AM ^
Kinda like HailAndUnite... universally hated but full steam ahead anyway.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:08 AM ^
It seems like every other day we are sitting here making fun of the Niners. I think we all get the point, but the last two have just been making fun of them because they have injuries and that's just not cool.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:08 AM ^
Why does this matter anymore. They are idiots. Let's move on.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:09 AM ^
A series of unfortunate events?
March 20th, 2015 at 10:10 AM ^
We have Harbaugh. I could give a darn about what happens to York and the Niners at this point.

I totally do NOT understand these threads at all. Six years ago my alcoholic ex-wife left me for another dude while I was recovering from cancer surgery. A year later I met my avatar (isn't she lovely?) and have experienced marital bliss for the first time in my life and have literally never been happier.
Am I sending shitty emails to the guy who married my ex? NO - I wake up every day thankful for his decision as it created a scenerio for me to be very, very happy. Jed York is like that guy who married my ex - his dumbass move made it possible for Jimmotherfucking Harbaugh to be our HC.
We should be sending him thank you cards - not repeated posts making fun of his misfortune.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:28 AM ^
if I ever see him in a bar, his drinks are on me.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:31 AM ^
The way she fills out the bottom half of her triangle is quite lovely (and slighltly erotic to the Euclidians among us...)
March 20th, 2015 at 11:08 AM ^
my wife has an isosceles bottom half....be jealous
March 20th, 2015 at 11:36 AM ^
Maybe some people like a little junk in the trunk?!
March 20th, 2015 at 12:26 PM ^
It's all about the base...
March 20th, 2015 at 10:52 AM ^
that's rough.
Glad it worked out for you in the end.
March 20th, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
a teeny tiny little piece deep inside of you that gets a little happier when you see your ex's bad decisions come back to bite her in the ass? If my wife left me for some douchebag in the middle of a cancer fight, I wouldn't wish true suffering or illness on her, but I'd certainly point and laugh if she ran her convertible into the back of an overloaded manure truck.
March 20th, 2015 at 11:35 AM ^
This thread is so bizarre...
My alcoholic ex-wife left me when she got out of rehab and I was in the middle of a freak cancer fight (only at 40 and I'm fit otherwise). Her sponsor told her that unless she changes everything about her life, she'll never get truly sober. So she left me. I don't have a drinking problem and did nothing but support her during her rehab.
She took the convertible!
I got the dogs though so that's what counts!
March 20th, 2015 at 11:39 AM ^
Her yes. Hell yes.
But the dude she left me for no. He's Jud York remember?
March 20th, 2015 at 11:29 AM ^
Great post... the same exact thing happened to me in Jan of 2010 ago... well, except for meeting your wife.
However, please consider that some in here may just be pointing out karma rather than making fun of misfortune.
March 20th, 2015 at 12:13 PM ^
the complainer should post an exemplary post unless it is truly a static blog for which they advocate.
March 20th, 2015 at 12:39 PM ^
I say that in about every one of these threads. (Now if he would only become OSU AD.)
Just as you wake up every day thankful for the guy who opened up the opportunity for you to marry your shapely wife (to each their own--equilaterals aren't my type), some MGoBlogger wakes up every day wondering how to express his euphoria over Jim Harbaugh and his liberator Jed York.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:18 AM ^
if they had the slightest clue as to what they were doing, Harbaugh wouldn't be in Ann Arbor.
Let's stomp on Brandon some more!
March 20th, 2015 at 10:18 AM ^
should be sending Jed York a Christmas card this year.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
You're acting like Jed personally gave Harbaugh to us, Jim felt like his heart was here, there is no need to constantly mock them for every bad thing that happens to them, especially injuries, really..?
March 20th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
Disagree... if Niners management hadn't pushed Harbaugh out, he's probably still be there and this board would be clamoring for Les Miles.
What you said.
. . .
March 20th, 2015 at 10:29 AM ^
The best part of Jim Harbaugh's Twitter is seeing all the 49ers fans beg for him to come back - while cursing Jed York in the same tweet.
March 20th, 2015 at 10:42 AM ^
Can't even be bothered.
