    Whatever you do, don't ask 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh any more questions about Kyle Williams' readiness as a punt returner.

    Williams is in the spotlight heading into Sunday's game in Green Bay because the team's primary return man, Ted Ginn, is unlikely to play with an ankle sprain suffered Aug. 26. Williams had those two memorable miscues on punts while substituting for Ginn in the 49ers' last meaningful outing, their Jan. 22 loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game.

    Early in Friday's news conference, Harbaugh said, "We've always been extremely confident in Kyle as a returner, both as punt returner and a kickoff returner."

    When a reporter revisited the topic at the end of the session, Harbaugh shut him down.

    "We don't, we don't … why'd you bring that up?" Harbaugh asked. "Why would we be talking about that? When is enough enough?"

    The reporter followed up by asking Harbaugh if he felt compelled to give Williams encouragement – an "attaboy" – going into the game.

    "I should ask you, why did you bring that up?" Harbaugh said while staring down the reporter. "Why do you continue to ask that question? What is the reasoning?"

    Harbaugh being testy? No way. His act is getting as old as Rex in New York. It was cool at first but now it is getting old.

    Kyle Williams better douse his gloves in crazy glue this week. One fumble and he could be hitting the street.

    Agree [MENTION=572]Buck Fenson[/MENTION]. I'm tired of both of them to be honest. The one in Baltimore is 10x worse with his whining...
