The Schmarm

Jen's Soap Box

Shame on them both

Great reaction from York's general manager and chief minion, Terry Donahue, joking about the number of concussions that Derrick Deese has had in his twelve years of playing for the Niners as the reason for his criticism of York and his management of the team, which we all know is headed straight to hell.

There's not a thing wrong with Deese's memory. Having been a key player for the Niners for a lot longer than present management has been around, Deese has a great perspective on what team management used to be vs. what it is now, and makes a number of good points about the effect of cutting so many starters all at once.

Contrary to what Donahue would have us believe, cutting Deese to bring on Kwame Harris seems to be the move of a owner and general manager who've been hit in the head one too many times. In fact, if true, blows to the head might explain a great many of their boneheaded decisions.

But stooping to the level of joking about potentially life-altering injuries a player has sustained in the faithful course of excelling at his position for the Forty-Niners ought to be beneath even these two losers. Apparently, though, there isn't anything they won't due to deflect blame for their bad decisions away from themselves and toward competent, articulate team members and everyone else who differs with their "style."

Shame on them both.
