San Francisco 49ers Looking Forward to 0-2 Start vs New Orleans Saints

The 49ers had a lot of pressure taken off this this week by looking forward to a game they're expected to lose.

"It feels great," said Alex Smith with a big smile. "All that pressure going into Seattle last week with everyone expecting us to win just gave me the willies."

The 49ers dropped the season opener last week in a disappointing effort that showed the rival Seattle Seahawks as the dominant team emotionally, scoring 31 unanswered points after going down six early.

Michael Crabtree repeated before the game he wasn't worried about a lack of playing time in preseason games and ended up catching as many balls thrown his way as the other team did.

When asked about the interceptions that turned the tide of the game, Crabtree laced up his new Nike Crabtrees and quipped, "You all misunderstood me.  I meant I wasn't worried because I knew we would be terrible. 

"No one asked me if I thought I'd play well.  Y'all need to be more specifically in your line of questioning if you want the correct answer.  Besides, my neck hurt and Vernon yelled at me and made me cry.  He's a big meanie.""

When asked outright about how he thought his team was going to play tonight against the Saints, Crabtree, a man of his word uttered, "We're pretty much going to suck."

Alex Smith before the game said he felt, "Fabulous."  He continued, "We're having an after party at Asia SF, where I'll be performing in drag as Kathryn Boyle singing Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis." 

Alex then held up a pink 3x5 envelope with feathered trimming.  "I invited all the men from the Saints to the show after the game.  Those New Orleans boys sure know how to party."

When asked about the game, Smith replied, "My God, just remembered the price of stamps went up.  Do you think they delivered them anyway?  I hope a bunch of postal workers don't show up instead of the Saints.  Ohhhhh poopsies.  I had an encore all planned for Reggie Bush to dress up like Kim Kardashian and act like a total whore... "  before running off, heels kicking high behind him and hands flailing out to the side.

When Mike Singletary was asked about his gameplan for the Saints he claimed to have taken the week off knowing they were just going to lose anyway.

Instead he spent the week solving a mystery much deeper than the Saints spread offense.

"I wanted to find out why the cheerleaders in San Francisco never wear skirts."

Singletary's knees seemed to buckle, grasping at the podium for balance.  His face grew pale as he pushed the words out, "It's so their balls won't hang out."

When asked how he found out that information, Singletary denied to comment explaining he's a family man. 

When asked what he did next after finding out that information, Coach Sing replied in typical Singletary fashion, "I hit 'em in the mouth!"

Tonight's kickoff is set for 5:45 at Candlestick Park.
