In some divergent reality, that gangbusters Saints/49ers game didn't come down to the teams trading scores like heavyweight blows in the final few minutes. In this alternate universe, Alex Smith scampered free for 27 yards, with a clear path to the end zone, and took a knee. The 49ers would run out the clock before kicking the go-ahead field goal. I thought alternate realities were supposed to be exciting? More »

"Babin, the NFL's sack leader, said he was fined $15,000 for a hit on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith during the Eagles' 24-23 loss Sunday. Babin is playing in the first year of a five-year, $28.325 million contract. 'It's ridiculous,' he said. 'They just arbitrarily go around fining guys for whatever they want. I'd love to look at the hits from 10 years ago that guys are being fined for now. They were probably getting bonuses back then, not getting fined.'" [CSNPhilly] More »

Your ears did not deceive you. That was a very vocal slice of 70,000 suffering 49ers fans chanting "We Want Carr." As in David Carr. This David Carr. Poor bastards. More »

Alex Smith will be making $4 million this season in his restructured deal with the 49ers, plus all this stuff from his wedding registry (wonder if Mike Nolan got him the pannini maker). [Wedding Channel.com] More »

Things don't usually work this way, but hey, we're in a recession. Alex Smith — once thought totally extinct in the wild — is back with the 49ers under a new, slimmer contract. More »

It appears that Alex Smith's time as a San Francisco 49er has come to an end. The star that shone so brightly for, say, about five-and-a-half quarters in 2006, was extinguished on Tuesday when it was learned that the quarterback has a broken bone in his shoulder and would be placed on injured reserve, most likely ending his season. And that means he'll be gone as soon as the team can release him in the spring; his six-year, $49.5 million contract (24 mil guaranteed!) being way to bulky for the Yorks to carry if he's not going to be the starter.

Sigh. Oh, The Dirty.com. It's amazing that this crew is getting all of these photos (well, three) of 49ers quarterback Alex Smith sent to them. What did Alex Smith ever do to anybody? Besides, you know, kind of suck? More »

Didn't Alex Smith attend college in Utah, where drunkenly attempting to eat girls' faces is prohibited? (unless they're one of your wives, that is). Hey, who cares! We're in Mexico! Finally, my frequent visits to 49ersnews pay off. More »

Matt Leinart's stupefying beer-bong partying and champagne-bottle fellatio did nothing to help his career as an NFL quarterback nor his promotional viability, but it did wonders for the Dirty.com. The site, once lost in the overly-crowded co-ed tit-flashing corner of the blog market, reached critical mass last week thanks to the Leinart photos. The LA Times skewered The Dirty's proprietors last week and, today, ABC News gives its spin on things. And even though Leinart boosted the site's daily numbers to almost 300,000 visits, Ari Golden, CEO and head dirt mongrel of The Dirty.com insists to ABC his site will continue to focus on "real" people, as opposed to NFL quarterbacks.
