Singletary learned about his pants

When 49ers coach Mike Singletary was asked just now on the media conference call with Arizona writers about what he learned in his first year as head coach in 2008, there was a slight pause. Then, “I learned you can’t pull your pants down.”

Hilarious, that the famously intense Singletary was willing to make light of what became a national story, when he dropped his pants (underwear was on) to make a point at halftime during his first game. Singletary went on to say the normal stuff, that he learned there were lots of little things that had to be taken care of, but that he was “thankful” to be the 49ers coach.

And, one would assume, that he learned about his pants.
