Throughout his non-presence at training camp, top draft pick Michael Crabtree has been in the Bay Area, not his native Dallas. Perhaps that's an indication the 49ers will be able to sign the Texas Tech wide receiver before the regular season begins. "It'll get done," general manager Scot McCloughan said Saturday. "What's three or four months on a five- or six-year contract?" The thinking is that if Crabtree signs before the Sept. 13 opener at Arizona, he would be able to contribute as a rookie, although not as much as he would have had he been in training camp from the start.

What's three or four months? It's call TRAINING CAMP dipcrap. You know, when you learn the offense and get to know your fellow team mates. That is one of the dumbest freaking quotes I've ever read.
