According to the team, 49ers OLB Aldon Smith was stabbed in a Friday evening incident, but escaped with only "minor injuries."
"We are aware that Aldon Smith incurred minor injuries during an incident last night," the team said in a prepared statement. "We are in contact with Aldon and thankful that his injuries were not more serious and that he is recovering comfortably. The 49ers are also in communication with local authorities as they gather information regarding the incident, and will reserve further comment at this time." According to CSN Bay Area, Smith was at a party where two other people were shot, but neither victim suffered life-threatening injuries. Smith's role in the incident remains unclear. The legal run-in is Smith's second of the offseason after he was arrested for DUI in Miami Beach in January. The situation should be updated later this evening.

I'm surprised he doesn't play for the Lions.

Team owners have passed a resolution that starting this season will allow for local broadcasts of NFL games even when as few as 85% of tickets are sold.

Under the new rule, each team has more flexibility to establish its own seat-sales benchmark as long as it is 85% or higher.

To discourage teams from setting easy benchmarks, teams will be forced to share more of the revenue when they exceed it.

About damn time, the local blackout rule was from a different time.

CSN Bay Area confirms Aldon Smith sustained minor stab wounds early Saturday morning at a house party in Santa Clara (CA).
Smith was reportedly trying to break up a fight when he was stabbed in the shoulder and abdomen with a small pocketknife. The incident is not expected to jeopardize his status for training camp. Smith and two other victims were admitted to the emergency room at 5AM and later released. None of the injuries were life-threatening.

The Baltimore Ravens radio play-by-play guy happens to have a name almost identical to Jerry Sandusky, who was the former Penn St. assistant coach convicted on 45 counts of sexual crimes against children. The poor guy's life has been turned upside down ever since the whole Penn St. scandal broke. Now he's savaged on Twitter and other social media by people thinking he's the Sandusky in prison. Poor guy.

Ravens announcer, Gerry Sandusky, getting Twitter Attacks

BALTIMORE — They are separated by two letters in the alphabet, but the proximity between G and J is causing a lot of problems for a Baltimore sportscaster who shares an eerily similar name to Jerry Sandusky.
“Gerry with a G” Sandusky, the radio play-by-play man of the Baltimore Ravens, has come under attack on Twitter from ill-informed social media hounds who have confused him with the now infamous child molester.
The off-target bombardment was stepped up in the days following a jury’s decision to convict the former Penn State assistant football coach on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse.
“You got what you deserved you RAPIST PEICE OF S**T the world can feel safe again,” one person posted.
“What the hell, how are you tweeting from prison, pervert? Our system is flawed badly,” read another post from a tweeter calling him or herself “The Grammar Police.“
Gerry Sandusky, meanwhile, has handled the thrashing with grace, responding to his misguided detractors with polite reminders that he is not at all related to the former Nittany Lions’ defensive coordinator.
“You may not wish a destiny in hell for me, if you noticed I’m Gerry, not Jerry. No relation. Hell seems a little extreme for me,” the sportscaster wrote in response to one tweeter’s wish that he “rot in hell, creep!“
He also directed several people to examine his Twitter bio, which reads, “I am Gerry with a G. Baltimore sportscaster. No relation to the former Penn State coach.“
“I feel like a Geico commercial. In the time it takes you to send me a hate tweet, you could read my bio and see that I’m not related,” he wrote Thursday.

For idiots who are doing this to him, hard to tell the difference between Gerry and Jerry, eh?

It's funny someone who calls them self "The Grammar Police" could mix up the two different names.

Just goes to show how soooo many people are just ignorant haters.

What made me scratch my head was the idea that someone would believe a convicted pedophile could use Twitter from prison.

I can get seinfeld references for both of those:

- that was like the episode where elaine dated a guy she thought was "stabworthy."
- that was like the episode where elaine dated a guy named "joel rifkin."

elaine dated alot of guys.

2 more reasons why seinfeld beats friends.

DeMarcus Ware is arguably the best pass rusher in the game and one of the best 3-4 OLBs, he should be somewhere on that list.

Yeah that is crazy. I had to do a double take on that list and his name is not on there. WTF.

Ware didn't make the top 100? That's insane. I'd put him above some of those guys they put in the top-20.
