The Niners' New Creed: Physical with an F




This recap of last night's "state of the franchise" address in San Francisco reports that head coach Mike Singletary stood before a large gathering of season ticket holders in a formal fashion and stated his team's philosophy as "Physical with an F". The author, Gwen Knapp, states "It might not look so good in print. For full effect, Singletary has to be experienced in person.".......I guess so.

Can somebody please tell me what the fuck this means? Maybe if Lou Holtz, Joe Paterno, Bill Belichick, or Bill Cowher stood up and stated that his team's philosophy was "physical with an F", I'd go along with it. I would surely accept that the blatant spelling error in this creed was purposeful and added some sort of real significance. But, remember, this is a man who pulled his pants down and mooned his team during halftime of his first game. This is a man who has made himself into a complete joke. This philosophy has akward silence written all over it. At this point, it behooves Singletary to keep his clothes on, spell all words correctly, and make no sudden movements. If I'm a 49ers fan, I'm looking for something a little more substantial.

If youre a 49ers fan you're already dead inside...I am not ready to jump off the Singletary bandwagon yet...the guy was a badass middle linebacker who WORE GLASSES DURING GAMES. The importance of this cannot be overstated.

This all falls into the "it is going to get worse before it gets better." category. There's a good chance he's fired by week 7 next year.
