08:04 AM ET 06.07 | By at least two reporter accounts, Alex Smith didn't much care for reporters watching the workouts he organized in the Bay Area. What kind of alternate universe are we living in when notorious nice guy Smith is prickly toward the media and noted recluse Michael Crabtree holds court with the reporters for 10 minutes? That was the case on Day 1 of the 49ers offensive minicamp at San Jose State Monday. ... Smith was in full-on General Patton mode, including when it came to reporters. There were about half a dozen of us sitting in the bleachers of Spartan Stadium -- the 49ers were still inside at this point going over class work -- when a university staffer came out and told us that Smith didn't want reporters to watch when practice began.

They were doing circumcisions in the locker room before San Francisco makes them illegal.

That was pretty easy. No wild dogs or tear gas needed to remove the press? What could the press possibly have come away with? I think the press probably needed a long lunch, one with a " eating their own words sandwich", these members of the press had just days before declared Crabtree would be a no show. Maybe the press needs to spend more time sitting outside the doors of the CBA meetings, or demanding that they be allowed inside the meetings.

He should have sent her a picture of himself in a speedo swimsuit getting out of the water near the beach and people would be saying; so what. The fact that he lied is what is disturbing. Although I doubt there is a person alive over the age of 20 that has not told a lie at some time in their life. The person that will decide if he retires prematurely will be his wife, has anyone talked to her? Not from what I've read. Then it will be up to the voters.
