Jim Harbaugh has never seemed like a cruel monster, or even slightly mean, for that matter. But at yesterday’s San Francisco 49ers practice, he was the gosh-damned devil. Harbaugh decided that it would be fun for quarterback Alex Smith and the 49ers offense to re-create the classic touchdown pass from Joe Montana to Dwight Clark against the Dallas Cowboys in the 1982 NFC Championship Game. And that does sound fun for the guys, except for one small problem…

It’s Alex Smith.

And you don’t have to be Miss Cleo giving a lap dance to Nostradamus to guess how it turned out. But we’ll go ahead and play dumb and go through the steps first. For starters, the legendary “Catch” looked something like this…

From the Desk Of Philly Being Philly: A man attending a Philadelphia Eagles practice earlier this morning was asked to remove a Donovan McNabb Redskins jersey that he was wearing. McNabb, who was traded to the Redskins in April, has long been a polarizing figure in discussions of the Eagles. Some have blamed the Syracuse product for the team’s postseason shortcomings, while others have questioned the lack of respect that he gets from the national media.

The fan said the security guard told him Andy Reid took notice when asking him to remove the jersey.

The fan, Jim Devlin, did not put up a fight when asked to take the jersey off, nor was he escorted from the practice field. Devlin said he wore the same jersey at the Phillies game the other night. He does it to make a statement about the Eagles’ decision to move on from McNabb and to get reactions out of people. –Philly Sports Daily; thanks, Jason.

This would probably be the nice start of a rant about how sports lends itself to fascism, but that’s all trumped by a dipsh*t on the sidelines of an Eagles practice wearing the jersey of a NFC East division rival. I wish more people reacted this way to those damn Che Guevara t-shirts. I just hope that this isn’t evidence of Philly fans getting soft; they’re at their best when they threaten the opposition with violence. They’re like America’s own little Bolivia, but with more burning cars.

After Allen Iverson took a leave of absence from the 76ers to take care of family issues last season, the safe bet was that he would be out of basketball for good. Thankfully, I never made such an assumption, because Allen still thinks he’s got what it takes, and is ready to give the NBA another go next season. Iverson tweeted his intention to play yesterday.

“I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I’m disappointed, and I owe my fans more than what they have seen of me the last couple seasons. However, now that my family is healthy and rock solid, I can concentrate fully on doing what I do best!” –Twitter via USAToday

A 35 year old shooting guard who’s undersized, taken a beating throughout his whole career, hates practice, and will want a big contract isn’t exactly something NBA teams want on their squad. Nevertheless, Gary Moore his personal manager confirms that Iverson is working out and anticipating a return next season. Read the rest of this entry »
