49ers ask Stafford about parents divorce.

Maybe over the top but I can see where teams are coming from. They're about to pay a guy millions to be the face of the franchise. You want to make sure you've dotted all your I's and crossed all your T's.

mua ha ha ha with blood.

and this is the exact reason I believe he should have gotten dirt on Singletary so when an inappropriate question came up he could ask one in return. Certainly if someone is going to be an a-hole and ask a stupid personal question then you don't want to be on that team. Might as well burn your bridge with the team so they don't pick you.

Ha! That's funny.

Even though Singletary isn't the one who asked Stafford the divorce question, it would still make for a funny exchange if it happened:

Singletary: Have you gotten over your parents' divorce?
Stafford: Do you routinely show your bare ass to the team as a motivational tactic?

:lol: That's funny. Nice comeback.

Ha! That's funny.

This.

Instant classic. Wtf is wrong with Mike Singletary!? lol All those years smashin heads at LB knocked him a little silly imo.

I wouldn't allow any "team psychologist" in my building if I were in charge. I can't see Parcells having a "team psychologist". The HC is suppossed to be the "team psychologist. Of course this is San Fransisco. The whole town needs psychiatric help.The psychology approach worked out really well when they opted for Alex Smith at #1 overall. Think they wish they had traded down and taken Aaron Rogers? So true what you say about Parcells.

The problem is Singletary comes off as a arrogant prick. Plus talking about Stafford's private business to the media is crossing the line. You can ask a player what ever you want behind closed doors, but keep it private. Why is Singletary talking about it to the media?
If someone from the media asks just say no comment.
Instead 49ers coach Mike Singletary fueled the controversy last month after comments with Ralph Barbieri on KNBR, a local radio station. “If you’re going to look at drafting a guy in the first round,” Singletary says in the interview, “and you’re going to pay him millions of dollars, and asking him about a divorce about his parents, if that’s going to be an issue, then you know what, maybe he doesn’t belong here.”

That is like a school with out a teacher...NO CLASS!

Agreed. Singletary is proving to be a real douche!

Ha! That's funny.

Thank You. lol. I knew someone would have dirt. lol.

You know I kinda was apprehensive about Singletary getting the job. I liked the idea cause people were saying how good he is at coaching. but there was something about his attitude that turned me off. Everytime he gets in front of the cameras I get turned off and tune him out. I'm supprised not one player hasn't just walked up to him and just punched him in the face and walked away. I think I would have been traded by now.

Can you face adversity? What if you lose your QB coach or head coach that supported you, favorite wide receiver, etc.

Hell they can ask things like that in a college entrance interview and certain jobs. Likely the kid has had to talk about it before and should be a man enough to talk about it now. Sure it's not the most pleasant subject but it's not like they're breaking the news to him.

I think they're trying to get an unpracticed response out of him or get a real read on the guy. It may mean nothing to them other than to see how he'll respond to an off-question. Remember, he'll be asked thousands of questions for the rest of his career, maybe longer and he'll have no way to control what is asked.
And with there being so much time in-between these kids last college game and the draft, they have agents and people around them coaching them how to respond to "what would you if you lost your favorite receiver" questions. They're going to give cliche answers like "other guys are going to need to step up" or something along those lines.
Yeah divorce is common in this country and it may be none of anybody's business but when a team is investing TENS OF MILLIONS of GUARANTEED DOLLARS in ONE PLAYER, your damn right they're going to cover all the bases.
Remember Ryan Leaf. He was highly touted, had tremendous physical attributes and yet couldn't handle the pressure of playing QB at the NFL level. Now he's in a self imposed exile coaching golf in South Dakota or Idaho.
Teams want to know if they're drafting Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning and sometimes asking tough unrelated questions is another way to size a guy up. Just my two cents.

Good thing some of you aren't in the NFL because you would need to lose your skirts awful quick.
