According to Maiocco: Don't expect Balmer to ever step on the field with the 49ers again after failing to appear at practice Wednesday morning. He has fallen far behind the team's top four defensive ends: Justin Smith, Isaac Sopoaga, Ray McDonald and Demetric Evans. Dan Brown of the San Jose Mercury News tracked down Balmer at his home. Balmer did not disclose the nature of his personal issues, and placed blame on the 49ers for fueling the uncertainty. "People are making a big deal about of nothing," Balmer said. "I feel like the 49ers could do a better job of saying that, but it's not my place to say."

"Balmer Bummer" seems to be about how bad a pick he was and speculation about what the "personal issue" is. But though other local beat writers will speculate sometimes, I've never seen a report like this from Maiocco that hasn't ultimately proven to have been substantiated by an inside source.

To me that makes this news. And I couldn't find it on the other Balmer threads.

enought with all the f**kin balmer threads
