Busy busy weekend/monday, not a lot of time to put into this weeks edition, but here it goes.

1. Harbaugh vs. Schwartz- Everyone is talking about the "Handshake that shook the world!" Well I might as well throw my two cents in. Did I think Harbaugh went a little overboard after the game and could have maintained a little more composure during the hand shake? Yes. Did I think he was wrong to act the way he did? No. In fact I think Schwartz went ever further out of line than Harbaugh by chasing him 40 yards to yell and scream at him, making a huge scene over the over-enthusiastic hand shake. I bet if Schwartz didn't go after Harbaugh and made that scene we wouldn't even be talking about this, no one would. Also, as far as pointing fingers at who didn't have proper etiquette, I felt Schwartz was a bit of a hypocrite for his behavior on the sidelines, the over enthusiastic fist pumping after the lions won their previous games, mouthing off to Dez Bryant during the Cowboys game, and even shouting at Jim Harbaugh from across the field after Jim mistakenly threw the challenge flag on a non-challengable play. Harbaugh went on record to say it was all on him, he was caught up in the moment, shook Schwartz's hand too hard, etc. etc. But he didn't have any ill intent towards his actions. Bottom line is this. I am happy that the 49ers have a head coach who is excited and thrilled for how his players played and gets just as excited as they do after a game. I have no problem with a head coach celebrating a win. But I do think he needs to maintain just a little more composure, just for a second when meeting the other teams coach at mid field. But I find Schwartz at fault even more, His actions blew this whole thing waaaay out of proportions and far more than it needed to be. And some of his actions I've seen in previous weeks leaves him no room to lecture other coaches on what is "Proper Coaching Etiquette." There. Now lets hope everyone got this out of their system and we can now move on with the rest of the season.


SHOUT OUT PLAYERS!!
Kurt Coleman (Safetly Philadelphia Eagles)- His 7 Tackles, 5 solo and 2 assists are nice, not great but nice. But his three Interceptions in one game is just phenominal. His effort and play in getting these turn overs ended a 4 game loosing streak and for the moment saved the Eagles season!

Frank Gore (Running Back San Francisco 49ers)- It still amazes me that the 49ers only handed the ball off to Frank Gore 9 times, but with those nine touches he had 141 rushing yards (15.6 yard average) and 1 TD. What is even more amazing is that he did this against a Lions defensive line many call a top defensive unite in the league.
