Anquan Boldin named NFC offensive player of weekAnquan Boldin might be old and expensive, and not much of a runner. But the guy knows how to make a first impression. Boldin was named NFC offensive player of the week, after his ridiculous 13-catch, 208-yard performance against the Packers. It was reminiscent of his 10-catch, 217-yard outing in his NFL debut, in 2003…

The San Francisco 49ers announced today that Eric Wright, former Cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, failed his physical, therefore voiding the trade.  When asked for details, Jim Harbaugh simply said, “The information is he didn’t pass his physical, he’s not on the team.”

When you hear that someone failed a physical, you assume they weren’t fast enough or maybe their blood pressure was too high.  And that may be the case.  However, a team can fail you on a physical for whatever reason they want.

Many are suggesting that he was failed due to his newest DUI charge that came in Los Angeles on July 12.  There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the 49ers knew of the arrest and pending charges prior to accepting the trade.  The 49ers were going to get Wright, a former second-round draft pick, for a conditional draft pick in 2014.

Sadly, 2012 was a busy year for Eric Wright.  He was charged with a felony DUI (which was later dropped), played through an Achilles tendon injury and he was suspended for four games by the NFL for violating their performance-enhancing drug policy.  Prior to 2012, Wright signed a five-year contract worth $37.5 million, but the language within that contract allowed the Bucs to void his remaining guaranteed money if he failed a drug test.  They did just that.

And to be frank, the trade was odd from the get go.  Coach Jim Harbaugh has been very vocal about his no-tolerance stance on bad player behavior, especially when it concerns performance-enhancing drugs.  Just in June, when asked about the seemingly large amount of Seattle Seahawks testing positive for banned substances, he said the following:

You don’t know what it is. Even when people say what it is, you don’t know that that’s what it is. I’ve heard this thrown out or that, but that’s usually the agent or the players themselves saying it’s, for example, Adderall. But the NFL doesn’t release what it actually is, so you have no idea.  You’re taking somebody at their word that I don’t know if you can take them at their word, understanding the circumstances.

Once the physical was failed and the trade voided, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Eric Wright.  He’s now an unrestricted free agent.

Colin Kaepernick responds to Miami Dolphins hat flakColin Kaepernick created a buzz in social media circles when a photo surfaced of the quarterback donning a Miami Dolphins hat at a Fourth of July party. Kaepernick owns more than 400 pairs of shoes as well as an impressive collection of baseball caps from numerous sports teams. The Dolphins hat was just another fashion statement from a man who obviously loves to accessorize.
