game 13 - 49ers vs. Cardinals

His name?

Frederick P. Soft, Esquire


According to Coach Harbaugh, Soft is a 4-inch tall guy who stands on the shoulders of people that are doing everything right and works on convincing them that they ought to ease up and take it easy: "Don't work so hard. You've already got it made in the shade!" I can imagine Soft saying.

Well, the 49ers don't; they've only qualified to play in the playoffs, and that's it. There's a long, long ways to go, with many areas in which to improve. Remember guys, touchdowns are better than field goals. More than two times better, in fact. I mean, if you are confident that your kicker can make a field goal, then he can surely make an extra point. 7 points vs. 3 points. Got it?

Not to take anything away from the Cardinals, who are playing much better than their W - L record indicates... it was a tough game. And the 49ers fought hard, I know that. They lost by only 2 points. But they will have to play much better if they want to go very far in the playoffs, and now in the regular season to make their postseason easier.

Is Freddie P. Soft necessarily a lawyer? No - he just strikes me as the lawyerly type. Someone with the gift of gab that either uses it for good or for evil. Soft uses it for evil. Hey, Freddie, how about getting into the ears of the Packers??
