Ha! These guys don’t take vacation time. It’s not like they’re clock punching wage donkeys. They work year round, probably 12 hour days. And in the middle of Summer? Right before the season starts? Cmon man.

Shanahan says the accident was his fault.

All in a conspiracy together lockstep from the jump. The police dispatch records that explicitly confirmed alcohol or drugs weren’t involved? Clear and obvious lies from police of a city that the guy doesn’t even live in or commute through. Sure

It was known by a few insiders and friends but not reported earlier because the Niners would persona non grata anyone who didn’t respect his privacy and until they knew the extent of his injuries. You may disapprove of the Niners org essentially forcing compliance and ensuring they announced the crash on their terms but there’s enough logical reasons for them to want to do so including needing time to figure out what the frick they’re doing about training camp and the start of the season. Questions more easily answered discretely

Someone in the media could have announced it within a few hours, ultimately nothing changes. The police records that confirmed he wasn’t under the influence are still issued at the scene. The only thing that changes is we learn about the event happening earlier. We still don’t get substantive updates until weeks later

weird it happened 10 days ago and no one, not even the team knew until last night/ this morning

He was probably drunk and hit someone who was a 49ers fan. That person recognized him immediately, he paid them off and they agreed that they'd keep it quiet for as long as possible.

That or he was getting road head from Diana Russini and swerved when he was finishing. Happens to the best of us.

You really believe they even evaluated him on the scene? Not even a moving violation for causing a head on collision by crossing into oncoming traffic? They probably tried to pin it on that teenage girl he hit, but are backtracking due to dashcam or similar evidence.

They said they did. Both parties were evaluated and questioned. They found him at fault for the accident. As in many states, in CA a cop can't write a ticket for a moving violation if they didn't see it live

They were also wearing body cams

Niner-fan police in niner-worshipping city dealing with the niner head coach?

---

Don’t know if you’ve ever been to the Bay Area before (assuming not to say this) but the Niners can be in the Super Bowl and you barely see any red in SF proper all the way down to the South Bay. Calling a Silicon Valley city full of dorks and immigrants “Niner-worshipping” is hilarious. It’s not the PD of small town in rural Texas that pulled over its star QB in the middle of the playoffs. It’s more likely they had no idea who he was than everyone on the scene being diehard Niner fans in on corruption when all it would take is one public record request for body cam footage to potentially end careers. Seems like a lot to personally risk instead of just letting a coach take a 5-6 game suspension
