And then’s there Luke Huard, who struggled at North Carolina with injuries and coaching changes, never played in the pros, and now is an assistant coach at Illinois State. (Somewhere in an office in downtown
Manhattan, Cooper Manning is nodding.)
In any event, Damon may serve as the 49ers’
third quarterback this year if he can beat out Ball State’s Nate Davis. If not, he may start preparing for his new coaching career.
So is this.

Instead, he’ll collect his reported $1.11 million 2009 salary and be content to play in preseason and blowout games, all while spending the coldest part of the year in
sunny Phoenix. You know what? Maybe he wasn’t disappointed when Warner came back.
This time of year kicks so much ass. Cherries, cantalopes, necterines, peaches, plums, watermellons, stawberries, tomatoes...all fresh and cheap. All those years of eating junk and missing out on this. Dead tastebuds :-)
