SANTA CLARA — Because I’m a sportswriter who boasts all the stereotypical pratfalls that are attached to the profession, I have Twitter open at all times when I cover football games.
After all, these free and fresh takes — poorly comprised and comprised — don’t disseminate themselves.
And because I am fundamentally flawed and had that page open, at some point in the second quarter, I noticed that “Robert Saleh” started to trend.
Given the tone of most of those tweets, I’m surprised “Fire” didn’t precede the 49ers defensive coordinator’s name.
It’s a new Christmas tradition for 49ers fans: as the season winds down, calls for the DC’s job are sung like carols.
