well me and my girl got into a huge car accident and i was not wearing a seatbelt and she was but she ended up going to the hospital while all i got was a swollen knee and 2 broken fingers and a bump on the head. she slammed her face off the stearing wheel and definatly broke her whole arm off the wind shield since the air bags never went off. so yeah been kinda nervous but last i heard she was doing better so it's a relief
Briggs, 49ers and tampering ... oh my!
Some of you have seen the Yahoo! report in which the 49ers are accused of tampering with Bears' linebacker Lance Briggs last year. I have not yet gotten an on-the-record response from the 49ers, most of whom are in Indianapolis for the combine. I did get a not-for-attribution response from one team official who called the allegation "complete, utter, b.s." except he didn't use the term "b.s." If it's not b.s., the 49ers might be fined or they might lose a draft pick. According to the report, the league is investigating ...

League, 49ers: No comment on Briggs
The 49ers are referring all questions about the Lance Briggs tampering allegations to the league. The league, in turn, is referring all questions on the matter to the 49ers. “We’re not commenting on it,” said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello a few moments ago. Which is to say, there are plenty of questions in the case of Bears v. 49ers and precious few answers. The first revolves around the fact that tampering is the jaywalking of NFL rules. Everyone does it. How else can teams wrap up massive, multi-year deals on Day 1 of free agency? These are painstaking negotiations that take time and plenty of back and forth. The 49ers probably have done it, but so have 31 other teams. The next question– if this is such common practice – is whether the league is looking to make an example of the 49ers in order to discourage it. If so, you’d have to wonder whether a slap of the wrist, such as a fine, would send a strong enough signal. The only thing that’s clear is that the 49ers will look awfully guilty if Briggs is wearing a red and gold No. 55 jersey on Feb. 29.
