Finally: Michael Crabtree dons a 49er's jersey

This is an excerpt from ESPN (click to view better).

As much as I have been disappointed in this guy, I cannot help but continue to like him and cheer for him, after all, he is a former Texas Tech Red Raider and a rather awesome one at that. My previous disappointment in him was in how he took so long to show up in 49er land to conclude contract negotiations. The Raiders coach, Tom Cable, passed him up in the NFL draft instead taking one Heyward-Bey. Cable, justified his actions by indirectly referring to Crabtree as a pre-madonna, a trouble-maker. That is really stupid of Cable to say or believe especially after his actions with his own coaches. Anyway...because Michael was taking so long to decide if he would accept the 49er's contract, his lack of actions indirectly proved a point in regards to other's accusal that Crabtree had a big head, a bad attitude, that maybe he was a pre-madonna. Well, Crabtree is signed with the 9er's and did settle on a pretty nice contract deal. Did he really get what he wanted? That's for Michael to decide. Going forward, Crabtree will have much to do & much to prove. It seems that his private war with everything that went wrong with the 2009 draft whatever those things were which caused him to drop out of the top 5 and even #8 position is one thing that sport's pundits/media will continue to follow. Crabtree and Heyward-Bey are going to be compared side by side for a long time to come. The proof is in the puddin'...just look at ESPN's write up today on their web site. The Texans won in the end, but the 49er's had several eyes upon them...mainly due to the newest WR from the state of Texas - from the one and only Texas Tech U.  To be continued
