Alex Rodriguez Details Steroid Abuse at Press Conference

Yesterday, Yankees slugger Alex Rodridguez addressed his steroid issue once again but this time in much greater detail. Who knows whether he is being completely honest with us (I highly doubt that) but it was interesting to note that A-Rod went into much greater detail than any other player who has admitted to using steroids. The whole "boli" thing seems a little odd, but Rodriguez was pretty detailed in saying how often he took steroids, when during the season and how it affected his play.

Niners Lose........AGAIN

If you are a Niners fan and you happened to miss the game against the Seahawks yesterday be thankful, it was painful. The Seahawks, who had just 1 win on the year before yesterday, dominated the 49ers from the opening minutes. As much as I am rooting for UC Davis alum J.T. O'Sullivan to get it together, his turnovers are really killing the team. O'Sullivan's pick at the end of the first half was crushing to the team and fans. If you happen to still be holding on to Vernon Davis in hopes that his great potential will be realized and he will finally emerge as a legit fantasy football tight end it's time to cut him loose. Vernon Davis was send off by coach Mike Singletary in the 4th quarter, never a good thing.

As the Mike Singletary era began with a heaping helping of humiliation, J.T. O'Sullivan's reign as starting quarterback for the 49ers appeared to come to an end with the usual roll call of sacks, fumbles and a killer interception.

If this is the bottom, the 49ers hit it hard, and often, Sunday at Candlestick Park in a 34-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, who came into the game at 1-5 and left with whoops and hollers.

After keeping the locker-room doors closed at least twice as long as predecessor Mike Nolan did following games, Singletary came into his news conference and spoke in a booming voice with a fervor that approached rage.

After O'Sullivan threw an interception on fourth down that cornerback Josh Wilson returned 75 yards for a touchdown and a 20-3 lead by Seattle 31 seconds before halftime, Singletary walked to offensive coordinator Mike Martz and spread his arms in a universal signal of exasperation before sending Shaun Hill into the game with 25 seconds left.

At that point, O'Sullivan had been sacked three times, fumbled twice and lost one and threw the pick-six interception. He had completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards.

Singletary's other decisive act was to banish Vernon Davis to the locker room with 10:41 left in the game after the tight end drew a foolish unnecessary-roughness penalty for tipping up the facemask of free safety Brian Russell following his 7-yard catch. [SFGate]
