49ers have fired Mike Nolan, I really thought they were going to turn it around with JT O'Sullivan but it hasn't happened.

Now Mike Singletary is their Head Coach, "Samuri" Mike will put them through the ringer to get some wins.

Mike was the star linebacker for the Super Bowl Champs Chicago Bears in 85, pitty he wasn't asked to coach in Chicago as an assistant.

I have to say, it doesnt look like the ref was trying to get out of the way to me.

Have to say it doesnt take much to put the quarterback down :-\

Well you cant run through referee's, its a penalty even if its inadvertent. And that referee was an All-American linebacker in his day so its not like he ran into Michael Curley

looked like that to me too. some crowd at that game

Well if you read the full article they decided that the referee was only protecting himself, but I dont know looks like he went to meet him. However you notice that the QB turns up field just a few secs before the collision so perhaps at full speed that might have been the case.

Camera angles it must be, but from that angle it looks as if the referee is initiating the contact with a raised right shoulder.
