WHAT WENT WRONG?
This is an update on a previous post I wrote so when you read below you will say you think you read this then the rest of my prognosis for the Fortyniners and it ain't good fans!!!
Jim Harbaugh had a bad decision day, he dissed his franchise quarterback for a second rate second string nobody who had no proven ability to lead a champion team, Kaepernick has a foul mouth getting fined by officials and that is not leadership!
Its no secret that I have been a big fan of Jimmy the Greek Snyder and he has been an inspiration to me, he had a lot of courage in the face of critics, and they were there, they came out of the ground like the slime they were!
So along comes Harbaugh and just as the 49ers are building a crescendo of wins leading to the playoffs and the super bowl Harbaugh does the unthinkable and disses his franchise quarterback Alex Smith! Reid stated that Smith may just be the best quarterback in the NFL, so why was Harbaugh so blind to this fact??
He replaces his top rated quarterback with a lowly unknown untried 2nd rank, 2nd rate, 2nd string nobody Kaepernick! Even his players were dismayed at his decision, some were heard in the media adding displeasure to the move by Harbaugh!
Alex was the fifth rated passing quarterback when he was injured in the Rams game which Kapernick quickly lost and again to the Rams a second time, yet Harbaugh said he had a great arm, really no one from Baltimore would argue with you Harbaugh after all he threw the winning pass to Baltimore!!
SO he losses the super bowl and gets his head handed to him through out the season, what a poor sportsman, his foul mouth and bad attitude are not 49er inspired sportsmanship! Fined and fined again is his lowly 2nd rank position leading one of the greatest football teams in history to destruction!
Harbaugh is a disgrace to the legends before him Bill Walsh and George Seifert who never lost a super bowl, now the record was tarnished by an obviously poor judgement on the part of Harbaugh! actually liked Harbaugh and he did it to himself!!!
As for profits the 49ers who were rlling in the dough or in the BLACK as it is referred to will now be seeing RED big time, especially with a new stadium, how wonderful is that? Well if you are the owners of the 49ers it has to have you worried bug time!
The fans are disgruntled, especially after losing to the lowly Raiders, and also to their evil nemesis the Seahawks and the Cardinals!!! The 49 ers future looks very very bleak to say the least.
Drastic measures are needed, I read that the 49 ers planned on trading Harbaugh, good start but they need to get rid of Kapernick and the sooner the better and replace him with a proven winner, only I do not think the 49 ers will do that, why? Because if history is any indication of how the 49 ers think they would rather lose and pretend to be in the hunt to be a winner than to have a winner at quarterback, it won't be their first time trying to fool the fans!
When Thomas and Clark were in charge of the 49 ers from around 71' to 78 they messed the Forty niners so bad that Bill Walsh had no first round draft choices for years to come, he had to make the hard choices, enter Montana a rookie and a winner!
Their is a winner on the bench the forty niners could make their leader but I am betting against it, why? Because the niners do not want to win! Like the GM of the Jets said after they fired him he should have used Tim Tebow, after all he was a winner, see my reason the niners do not want to win, just like Tampa 2-10 Bay doesn't want to win, they will let the league pick up their big RED finances!
My prognosis is the super bowl this year I believe it will be the Seahawks vs. the Patriots, and I am rotting for the (see next article)
So this was my previous prediction and now for the next season the niners may be 3rd but I also see 4th in the division if the Rams improve and the niners keep Kaepernick, since announcing they are placing a defensive coach in charge its deja vu all over again!
Why? First the niners had Dick Nolan a defensive coach lost three times in the playoffs to Dallas, then they had Clark what a loser he was, then they brought in Mike Nolan another defensive Coachnow history is repeating itself with another defensive coach!
So will the niners ever learn? My money says no, not this year and maybe not in a lot of years, so my forty niner faithful cry, pray, scream, yell but the super bowl is not in the future of these niners!!!

JIMMY THE GREEK MEET NICK THE GREEK by Jim Fridas
A GAMBLERS GAMBLER
article by James Thomas Fridas
JULY 2, 2014
Nick the Greek was an ambassador from Greece in 1933 he came to America to be in Washington D.C. while here he was taken on tour of the west where he was introduced to the game of Baccarat in which he won $5,000. in those days that was a fortune, so he resigned as ambassador and became the worlds premier gambler of the day!
Two men of varied backgrounds, one a man with numbers in his vernacular the other with numbers in his subconscious and they both had the odds of the gods of gaming, while Nick the Greek was a lover of Baccarat he played all the games and would play endlessly for days and weeks on end with out sleep.
On the other hand Jimmy the Greek would study the teams and find a common denominator in order to pick the winners, he did this with horse racing with admirable success. These two men would meet only once in their life. a game between Johnny Moss the notorious Texan and Nick the Greek, word was they did not like each other to well.
What a gambler! When Nick the Greek came to America in 1933 during the great depression and I challenge anyone to prove to me it was "Great" depression or any other great!!!! He was an Ambassador from Greece he was escorted by the Secretary of State around the nation and when he came to Las Vegas he was introduced to the game of Baccarat, at this game he won $5,000. and promptly resigned as Ambassador to take to his new calling as the greatest gambler to ever play the game no one before or since has amassed a fortune like Nick the Greek.
Does a billion and a half dollars tell you any thing about a fortune? Well I guess that is a little money, I heard that he died broke! Incredible, broke why? I also heard he left half a billion to heirs so what is true and what is not true is questionable.
His game was one that snared losers to his table, he would lose and that would be a small thing, because the next game the stakes were higher and he would somehow win! Nick the Greek was in the hospital Christmas eve of 1966 when he died. Nicholas Andreas Dandolas was born on the Island of Crete in the year 1883. Later in life he would be known as the King of Gamblers!
There is a whole lot more to the story of this incredible person, when he died in 1966 every known celebrity he knew attended his funeral and Frank Sinatra actually is said to have been in tears! Ironically this King of Gamblers graduated from the Greek Evangelical College!

What a gambler! When Nick the Greek came to America in 1933 during the great depression and I challenge anyone to prove to me it was "Great"! He was an Ambassador from Greece he was escorted by the Secretary of State around the nation and when he came to Las Vegas he was introduced to the game of Baccarat, at this game he won $5,000. and promptly resigned as Ambassador to take to his new calling as the greatest gambler to ever play the game no one before or since has amassed a fortune like Nick the Greek.

Nick the Greek was in the hospital Christmas eve of 1966 when he died. Nicholas Andreas Dandolas was born on the Island of Crete in the year 1883. Later in life he would be known as the King of Gamblers!
When Nick the Greek played a game in New Orleans the stakes were 1 million dollars to enter, five men and the winner take all ended the game when Nick the Greek after 9 grueling days finally bested the bunch and walked away with the jackpot. There were games he lost as well but in his life Nick the Greek was said to have won and lost over 1 and a half billion dollars!!
There is a whole lot more to the story of this incredible person, when he died in 1966 every known celebrity he knew attended his funeral and Frank Sinatra actually is said to have been in tears! Ironically this King of Gamblers graduated from the Greek Evangelical College!
One of the most notorious gamblers to play with Nick the Greek was stone face Kelly, he and others ponied up 1 million dollars winner take all, while Nick the Greek was famous for his set up games the next would be 5 million but stone face was as they say in those days whacked bu the mob, so no replay after that for Nick the Greek and stone face!
