Open Thread: NFL Ready for an Openly Gay Player?

Baltimore Beatdown — Yesterday, NBA Center Jason Collins became the first active professional athlete to announce that he is openly gay. In the rather homophobic world of sports locker rooms (see Chris Culliver) , the announcement is obviously a big story because it took an immense amount of courage and I have the utmost respect for Collins for doing so. But is the NFL ready for its gay players to follow suit? Use the comment box to share your feelings and views on the issue, but please keep your arguments civilized and refrain from spewing hateful comments and profanity.

Golden Nuggets: Chris Culliver's mouth, er, typing-hand; Larry Grant suspended for PEDs

Niners NationLarry Grant was suspended today for PEDs. Probably means we won't be bringing him back (if we ever were, anyway). Chris Culliver has embarrassed the team again. Some people are calling for him to be traded or released. You really don't want to isolate your fan base, but he's going to try his hardest. I'm going to be quick. I've done a run of Nuggets lately that'd make Sourdough Sam's eyes spin like cash registers. Controversies I don't know if this is a likely scenario, but BASG takes the stance of trading Chris Culliver due to his inability to not do dumb things. Trades are difficult ...

Chris Culliver selling his Camaro on Craigslist

Niners Nation — Earlier this evening, 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver sent out a basic tweet featuring a Craigslist URL. Turns out the Cully is trying to sell his 2011 Camaro SS. For a mere $37,000, you can own a mildly used car. It has 11,412 miles on it, and seems to be in fairly solid condition. I'm not living in the Bay Area, and I have no interest in buying a car right now. While some of you might actually be interested in Cully's car, I think I know something more of you will enjoy: Best of Craigslist!

Jim Harbaugh and the lack of 49ers success early in games

Niners Nation — There are so many things that went wrong against the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl. Colin Kaepernick got off to a slow start, Donte Whitner had the worst half of the season, Chris Culliver was consistently beat from start to finish, Randy Moss didn't care to go after balls, Anthony Davis got mauled on the right side, Justin Smith was totally neutralized and Ahmad Brooks apparently didn't get his filling of offsides penalties during the regular season. But amid all of those issues on the field, there was another problem: the coaching. Most agree that the play-calling was so-so thro...
