The Alex Smith-Shaun Hill Olympics: Main event at training camp
Awww, aren’t they cute? 49ers quarterbacks Alex Smith and Shaun Hill apparently have an ongoing series of competitions this summer. According to Matt Barrows at the Sacramento Bee, they went skeet shooting and will duel at bass fishing in the Ozarks. They’ll also bowl and play golf, and Smith will “accidentally” swing his driver into Hill’s kneecap just before training camp opens.
The QBs really are buddies. Hill was in Smith’s wedding in February, and Smith took a pay cut in March partly to level the playing field with Hill. Still, we can’t shake the image of two grumpy old men, fighting about fishing and shotgun formations, and eventually one-upsmaning themselves to oblivion. Should be fun!

Thanks to this entertaining interview, we discovered the glorious blog of former Cal player and current D-Leaguer Rod Benson. In one wildly entertaining post, Benson talks about how he peed in a cup and left it for his girlfriend, and he calls his pee “Benson’s Own.” Does it get any better? Too Much Rod Benson

Jeff Garcia and Steve Mariucci take note: It is possible to shut Terrell Owens’ mouth. You just have to be a Polish model with a sailor’s vocabulary. Many, many unholy words in this video if you’re easily offended or at work:
