Singletary makes mincemeat of CBS5's O'Donnell

I just watched Mike Singletary come unhinged with Dennis O'Donnell.

Two things: The popular spin from the sports media will be that Singletary "goes off." Maybe. Maybe not. I don't think so. I think its obvious that Singletary is angry and O'Donnell was the lucky recipient of his wrath and that he and KPIX will milk this whole video from beginning to end.

But in reality its Singletary who obviously flustered O'Donnell. Instead of taking control of the interview, its O'Donnell who sticks to format and allows the 49ers coach to make O'Donnell look foolish. Why didn't O'Donnell stop and say, "Coach, you seem very angry and irritated at the Yahoo article, can we expound on that?, or something like that.

Instead, in the ensuing days, we're going to see this spun as Singletary losing his patience and coming unglued, which he obviously does, but if you look closely, he doesn't blink and is very clear about his irritance. O'Donnell happened to be the lucky guy who got the coach to vent his wrath, but again, its O'Donnell who looks out of whack.

For all we know, Sing could be a complete jerk and the video shows his true colors. Maybe, maybe not, but time will tell.

Wait till after the game Monday night.
