Want to know how poorly the entire holdout turned out for Crabtree? Eugene Parker, Crabtree's agent, did not attend the press conference. If the deal that got hammered out was the great coup that Parker had envisioned at the start of the whole process, you don't think he would have been there beaming?! But is there any doubt that at this presser, Parker would have been absolutely, positively grilled about a holdout that, at the end of the day, yielded nothing? None.
Crabtree said it himself at the press conference. The negotiations were "a very humbling experience." Wait 'till Coach Singletary gets a hold of you. You're not done with being humbled. He's already gotten through to Vernon Davis, who for three season was a do-nothing diva and this year is blossoming into a top tight end.
And...
Who was the peace broker in the Crabtree-49ers negotiations? The Jimmy Carter to the Camp Candlestick Accords, you might say? M.C. Hammer. That's right. Crabtree brought in M.C. Hammer to the sit down with the 9ers. Yeah, what you read is what I wrote. I'd like to know what sage advice Crabtree received from a man who blew through tens of millions of money, had his house repo'd, and was last seen in a Cash for Gold commercial?
