Just the smart azz way he answers some of Grant's questions. One example being his response to Grant's question about RPO's. Kyle said something like, the Eagles ran RPO in the SB so now everybody is asking about it, he then said something like it's not just you though.

Almost every week Kyle has to explain elements of the game to Grant as if he were talking to a child. And Kyle uses a condescending tone, it's hilarious.

Lol.

You are definitely reading context into those interactions that isn't there.

Firsthand knowledge?

That could be an opinion, but using the word "definitely" does make the comment, um, odd.

If you are asking if I'm Grant, I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not. I'm a 29 year old white dude from Fremont. My old handle used to be NorCal49er864, until I lost my password for that account and just said f*ck it and created a new one.

Go look through my post history, I posted some vitriolic sh*t aimed at both Lowell and his son.

I watch or listen to the pressers every week. You can tell that Kyle doesn't have much respect for Grant and vice versa.

What I dislike about the 49ers tabloid journalists is when they accuse fans of being "fanboys" when you disagree with their opinion. You cannot point out any flaws in their arguments without a "you're a fanboy" counter-attack.

Their definition of a "fanboy" is someone who parrots the 49ers ownership/management position on every topic.

It's too easy to be a beat writer of a historic team with fanatics. All you need to do is write something negative and cash in $100K plus a year because all the fanatics give you hate clicks which the advertisers love.

SMH.

He has been fairly solid with his personnel opinions. Cohn > Lynch on that.

Why read or react to written word you disagree with? Especially if that written word requires your reaction in order to keep its funding to continue writing more stuff you disagree with?

I don't get it. YOU have the power, not THEM.

So by reacting here, the WZ pays Cohn/Follower?

He has his own thread here that has gone 26 pages. What do you think?

Grant is bragging that he was against the Garcon signing from the beginning. But he's conveniently leaving out that he said we should have signed Kenny F'n Britt instead.

At least Garcon was somewhat productive before the neck injury.

If it did, it wouldn't have a job.
