I’m actually kind of happy this happened. See, I have Crabtree on my fantasy football team and I didn’t have the guts to waive the guy. I could have twice but since I haven’t lost yet during our season I figured that I would keep him and see if he could help me later in the year. I’m happy I did.

But as Billy Madison put some eloquently when talking to Miss Lippy: “Here’s the part of the story that I don’t understand”- Why did this take so long? It has been well documented that the two sides hadn’t talked for 3 weeks. During those 3 weeks the 49ers accused the Jets of tampering. They have also played great football and really should be undefeated still. They have been getting great play from nearly everyone and Coach Singletary didn’t ever once comment on the Crabtree situation other than saying that he wants players who want to play there. Then all of a sudden the two sides start talking on Monday night and by Wednesday the deal is signed? What are we missing and why did this take so long to get done? Why wait 3 weeks to talk? There is so much to this story we haven’t heard and may never hear but it’s been interesting to say the least.

Every team could use a talent like Crabtree and I think he’ll be a very good pro receiver. He’ll be a great fit for the 49ers and he’ll walk into a situation where the team is winning without him so he won’t have a lot of pressure. I expect that in a few weeks he’ll be catching a few balls and starting to make an impact and for my teams sake I sure hope he does.
