Ain't no way we get Clowney. I'd be ECSTATIC if we trade up and land either Mingo or Montgomery from LSU to be heir apparent to Justin Smith....

Anyone know if they're releasing the super bowl jersey patch by itself?

Kwame Harris arrested for beating his boyfriend.
All those holding penalties make a ton of sense now.
Meaning this is the WRONG week for Moss to talk about any of that. Moss should save those comments for the off-season after the game this Sunday. Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all, that's what Moss doesn't get.what? what doesn't he get?
If i was moss, i would be frustrated too. I'm actually more surprised he has held up this far about keeping a tight lip on it.

Impending free agent Randy Moss hinted that he does not want to return to the 49ers next season.
Moss, who will turn 36 in two months, confirmed that he wants to play in 2013. But when asked if it will be with the Niners, he channeled Drew Rosenhaus with a "next question" response. When pressed, Moss said, "I don't like my role. I like to be out there playing football." As usual, Moss is overrating his own talents at this point in his career and thinks he doesn't see the ball enough. He caught just 28 passes as a seldom-targeted situational deep threat during the regular season.
Super Bowl 2013: Randy Moss 'doesn't like role' with 49ers

Randy Moss said at Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday that is having a hard time coming to grips with being a decoy for the San Francisco 49ers.
Randy Moss, perhaps on the cusp of his first career Super Bowl title, isn't happy with his role with the San Francisco 49ers. At Media Day for Super Bowl XLVII on Tuesday, Moss said that "I still don't like my role" when asked about how he was being used within the offense. He is doing his best to come to grips with what he is tasked with, however, adding "one thing I've really had to understand is being a decoy."
"I understand my presence out on the field, that I don't always have to touch the ball to help the offense score touchdowns," Moss said. "Like I said, I don't really like that, but it's something that I'm used to. I had to grow to understand it."
Moss didn't sound frustrated or angry when talking with media, but that doesn't mean that the prolific wideout had to mince his words. He had no trouble proclaiming himself "the greatest wide receiver to ever play this game" when asked about his legacy. Moss also made it clear that he has no intention of hanging up his cleats and retiring after the season. When asked if he would return to the 49ers, Moss demurred:
"I don't know about that. Next question."
Can't believe you guys fell for the media trap. Take a quick quote OUT OF CONTEXT and yall ready to turn on Otis and run him out of town. Randy didn't say anything that any 9er fan not named Jerry Rice should be worried about.[h1]Moss admits he doesn’t like his role, but not divisive about it[/h1]

We mentioned earlier today that 49ers wide receiver Randy Moss declared himself the best wideout in the history of the game.
You’ll likely see much more about him in the coming days, in many outlets, because he was so open and forthcoming and illuminating about many topics during his appearance at Media Day.
When Moss is on, he’s extremely interesting, he just chooses not to be on often.
But among the gems today was a candid admission that he didn’t particularly care for the way the 49ers used him this year.
In the past, it could have been a Keyshawn-level “Just Give Me the Damn Ball” routine, but Moss said it so matter-of-factly it was easy to miss.
“I don’t like my role; I don’t,” he said. “I like to be out there playing football. One thing that I’ve always had to really understand was being a decoy. It was put to me, Coach Dennis Green just said, ‘Even though the football is not in your hand, you’re still out there dictating how the defense is playing the offense.’ It took me awhile to really understand where he was coming from. Later on and now in my career, I understand that my presence out on the field, I don’t always have to touch the ball to be able to help the offense score touchdowns.
“Like I said, I don’t really like that, but it’s something that I’m used to. I have to grow to understand and grow to like it. I’ve always been a team player. I’ve never been about self. Anything that is going to push our team to victory and hopefully win a Super Bowl, I’m willing to do.”
No, that was Moss, who hasn’t always been accused to giving freely of himself for the greater good.
But 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said Moss had been nothing but professional.
“He’s been great,” Roman said. “I think he’s a great team player, and a mentor for all the guys, really.”
His love of competition has never been in doubt. Moss joked about past arguments, even fights, he’s had with coaches and players. But his role with the 49ers, as much as he might not like it, remains a valuable one, as Roman insisted Moss could still “get behind a defense in a hurry.”
“When I hear people talk about how talented I am and how easy I make it look, I can honestly tell you people that it’s very hard work,” Moss said. “I work out five times a week. I put the work in and for me to be able to go out there and have results it something I am proud of. It’s not always the individual results that I’m proud of. For me to be able to talk to a Michael Crabtree or talk to a Frank Gore or Percy Harvin and for them to go out there and have a good game that week, that’s something I can be proud of. That’s just me giving back to the NFL.
“I’ve always said, I don’t like what the NFL does for me because I’m very blessed. My family is blessed. I’ve always been the type of person to know what I can do to make the League better. At this point in my career, if I’m able to be vocal, to share a little knowledge and also to go out there and play, if that’s what it takes to win a championship, then I’m willing to do that. I’ve always been that way.”
Maybe so, but he hasn’t been quite the way he was Tuesday too often, or the perception of his career would likely be very different.
