And I thought I’d have to wait until next week for another Mike Singletary sound bite.
Silly me.
I believe he could be the NFL’s equivalent of that quote machine named Hank Steinbrenner if this last five days is an example of what we all have to look forward to.
For some reason, the San Francisco 49ers decided to confirm a report on an Arizona radio station that Singletary dropped his pants in front of his players during halftime of that ugly loss to the Seattle Seahawks. I cringed when I heard it at first but then I read the Singletary quote.
“I used my pants to demonstrate that we were getting our tails whipped on Sunday and how humiliating that should feel for us.”
OK, then. With that backdrop (no pun intended) I now more fully appreciate the rant he ripped off at the post game press conference. If revealing the color of your boxer shorts isn’t enough of an incentive for your players to make the supreme effort I guess you’re entitled to say what you want.
What’s next, Samurai Mike and MJ doing Hanes ads?
Come to think of it…
