The kiss of death by Don Banks...doh!

• In retrospect, I should have known better than to pick San Francisco to win the NFC West this season. Never mind Singletary's incompetence as a head coach, the 49ers' roster still features veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes, and there is no greater kiss of death for a team's playoff chances in the NFL. Spikes is in his 13th NFL season, and he's playing for his fourth franchise, and he has never made the playoffs. Not for five years in Cincinnati, four years in Buffalo, one year in Philadelphia, and now three years in San Francisco (yeah, we're going out on a limb, Jed York be damned, and considering the 49ers' playoff hopes all but finished). In fact, the only winning team Spikes has ever played for was the 2004 Bills, who went 9-7 but missed the postseason by one game.

His point is stupid, but the information is worth something.

Of all the players in the NFL Spikes is one of the most deserving of a championship.

Let's win one for the man.

Ummm... next season.

What the blazes is glory talking about? How in the world did TKO become the problem of the team? Glory must be sleep walking.

Really? Is he f@cking serious? If any single player is to blame it's Nate Clements who has also never been part of a winning team, cost the 49ers a bug chunk of money and seems to suck more and more every time he plays the game.

He's talking about coincidence, not the level of Spikes play.
