There has been some discussion surrounding the San Francisco 49ers party following Super Bowl LIV — a game the team lost 31-20. That discussion made its way to FS1's Undisputed where hosts Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe shared their thoughts on the losing team partying it up after a crushing defeat.

Bayless, by the way, was critical of the decision while Sharpe was less judgmental. But that's not what this article is about.

What it is about is what rapper Lil Wayne, who performed at the party for his regular full-show fee, told Bayless via text messages in the days that followed.

"Wayne said he stopped the show at least three times, that he could recall," Bayless said, "to sort of half-jokingly make sure that everybody in the crowd knew, 'You guys just lost the Super Bowl. Are you OK with me continuing?'

"And he said they would scream that they were more than OK. And most of them were players and family members."

While that might give off a bad look, Bayless offers up a little more information on why Wayne was shocked by the 49ers' reactions to losing the biggest game of the season.

"The 49ers clearly had a 'Let's not worry too much about it' attitude about the game," Bayless continued. "'They truly believe they'll be back next year. The confidence, it was scary,' (wrote Wayne).

"And Wayne continued, 'I also got to speak to Kyle (Shanahan) one-on-one, and you could see he wasn't hurt or upset, he was mad as hell. And that's the energy of someone who feels like Super Bowl 55 is going to be marked on a calendar that's posted on his bedroom ceiling.' So it's the last thought before he goes to sleep, and the first sight when he wakes up."

49ers Notebook: Crucial offseason for Purdy; O-line confidence; Shanahan on new kickoff rule, Dobbs signing; Hufanga eyes training camp return

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't have to field as many quarterback questions as he did a year ago after Brock Purdy underwent surgery, the arrival of Sam Darnold, and the uncertainty surrounding the future of Trey Lance. The quarterback situation is clearer now than it has been in recent years. For Purdy, this offseason holds significant importance. It marks the first time he can focus on on-field improvement during minicamps, OTAs, and training camp. While he had this opportunity as a rookie in 2022, he was buried on the depth chart, limiting his practice reps. Last year, Purdy was still recovering from surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. He didn't get to throw to his teammates until training camp in

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery for the torn Achilles he sustained last month during Super Bowl 58. He'll have a partner in his recovery, as he wasn't the only member of the team to suffer that specific injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings and revealed that defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks also sustained a torn Achilles during the game. "[It occurred] about five minutes after Dre's," Shanahan told reporters. "I think it was when [S] Ji'Ayir [Brown] got the interception, he just jumped up and cheered, very similar to Dre's, and his Achilles went too." Bullocks remained on the sideline and continued coaching throughout the
