Originally posted by susweel:So because of 5 SB's it's perfectly OK that he commits a felony. Yeah right. Sports are NOT more important than the law. If you think so, I suggest you reexamine your priorities. As much as I like watching the 49ers, it's still just a game. And I suppose it was OK for Mike Tyson to commit rape just because he was a heavyweight champion.

The year of the fumble was also the year that all niner fans were moaning that the niners were winning ugly and not blowing folks out like they did the year before. Kind of reminds me of this year in a way you know. anyway it was clear that craig was at the end of the road, he had a bad year and was old and slow, kind of like how tim mcdonald and ken norton jr ended up but we never rip them do we now
After that game Eddie D said Craig will never wear a niner jersey again and he was right.
they never cost us a three peat.
But Eddie D and his stupid ass riverboat gambling BS cost the 49er organization the last 10 years of purgatory. As if 5 SB trophy's weren't enough-----"Hey, I think I want to run some riverboat casinos." Say what you will, but what he did was very, very stupid and he's supposed to be smart enough to know better. What he did cost the 49er organization a lot more than Craig's fumble. 5 SB's don't give you a free pass on that BS.
5 super bowls he can do pretty much do whatever he wants.
And yes, in the world of sports, 5 Super Bowls excuses a gambling felony. I could care less about the moral fortitude of the owner of my team. Be passionate, hire a good GM and coach, and care about the players. If Mike Tyson could do all of that and win 5 Super Bowls, I'd be all for him buying the franchise from the Yorks.
Edit: And if you think I'm wrong about Eddie D, let him walk anywhere in SF and it will take 5 minutes before he's surrounded by fans offering to buy him a drink, lunch, or carry him wherever he wants to go.
