Comment: Lowell, Where were you at Singletary's press conference today? Maybe you were there, but you should have at least congratulated the man on his win. Now you just look like a coward. You said you would be there every week, but the first time Singletary wins after your little tiff, you don't show up. You can say all you want about "Follow your own mantra, Mike. Don't tell me. Show me.", but the one thing you can't deny is that Mike Singletary is a MAN. He gives credit where credit is due, and takes the blame when he deserves it. Had you shown up/spoken at the press conference, taken your lumps as Singletary would have, and been good-natured about the whole thing, I, and many other people, probably would have had a lot more respect for you and seen you in a different light. But you didn't. You, obviously, are not a man. Run and hide, Lowell. You've pissed off Mike Singletary, and even you are smart enough to know that won't end well for you.

Comment: hey lowell, i know that religeous beliefs are slowly being pushed out of the corporate (and even national) landscape, but as the great singer-poet bob dylan once wrote; 'you got to serve somebody' still rings true today. if a person has developed a personal relationship with their object of religeous belief it is their constitutional right. as i recall m-singletary was not proselytizing in any way, shape or form. we don't make a 'stink' about an artist thanking God during award ceremonies, or our oft-used phrase "oh my God!" but suddenly we are super-sensitive when a coach invokes the name of God during a news conference; give me a break! it seems that the media goes out on 'hunting spree's to find and create controversy. the media criticized m-noland for his machanical and stoic comments and answers during his recent news conferences, now it seems that you found a new person to 'brow-beat' based on his religeous beliefs. remember lowell, what's at stake here is the game on the playing field. let's judge m-singletary on that criterion, not on what he chooses to believe. if you choose to be intolerant toward religion that's your right as well, but creating a story simply because someone invokes God's name is sadly reaching for straws.

Comment: I think the press in this area should be flagged 15 yards for piling on....Its almost like they didn't see this firing coming and they all called for it...(Ralph B interview with McCloughan on KNBR was one of the worst things I've heard_)

Comment: I for one am sick of these bitter, living-in-the-past, Walsh obsessed "journalists" like Cohn, Ratto, Killion, Kawakami. Do I miss the Walsh days? OF COURSE I DO! But did you ever hear what Walsh said about those days? "IT WAS CAMELOT". You can't just recreate that by hoping for it. Did Nolan suck? Yes. Does McCloughan? Probably. BUT GET OVER THE PAST AND WALSH. You all sound so miserable and bitter.

Comment: Holmgren's writing. I believe I didn't post the complete address earlier. www.spu.edu/depts/uc/response/spring2k6/myresponse/

Comment: Thanks for your response, Mr. Cohn. You have to read the whole piece written by Holmgren himself to show how Holmgren looks to God as his guide, just like Singletary. Now the comment from Bubba Paris is the one which is not the same. Here is the link I found. [www.spu.edu/depts/uc/response/spring2k6/myresponse/]

Comment: This is from Mike Holmgren way back... "Eventually, the media began to speculate that I would be offered the head coaching position of an NFL team, and I began to pray. When the offers came, it was clear to us that the needs of our daughters took precedence over my career, and I opted to stay with the Forty-Niners. Sportswriters and colleagues scoffed, but God honored our choice. Later, at the right time for our family, I was hired by the Green Bay Packers to carry the mantle of legendary head coach Vince Lombardi." You're the one who raises THIS issues, so I googled for a couple of minutes and found the above comments from Holmgren to show this is quite common is sports. Make sure you RAISE THIS ISSUE w/ Holmgren, who I also want to see back w/ the Niners, when you talk to him. I guess Singletary is the new target now.

Response: I appreciate your response and am impressed you did this research. Singletary is not the new target. I wish him well and hope he succeeds. I believe what he said deserves fair comment, and I don't think Holmgren's statement is the same as Singletary's. If you disagree, go in peace.
