| | + | 10/13/2014 01:18:41 PM PDT<br>Chris Brown said the Ebola outbreak in Africa may be a population control measure. |
| | + | Well, not only is he an entertainer, he IS an educated scientist, so ... |
| | + | The epidemic has killed more than 4,000 people, mostly in West Africa and one in the United States. |
| | + | Last weekend, Dr. Brown postulated his theory to his 13 million Twitter followers, writing "I don't know ... But I think this Ebola epidemic is a form of population control. (Expletive) is getting crazy bruh." |
| | + | Indeed ... bruh. |
| | + | The message, which was re-tweeted 12,000 times, was widely criticized, of course. |

| − | Willis had an X-ray on his left foot but did not divulge the results, other than to say: 鈥淲e鈥檙e not sure right now.鈥?He left the stadium wearing a supportive brace on his foot, which he also had on while watching the game鈥檚 final minutes from the sideline.

| − | Willis pointed to the Edward Jones Dome鈥檚 artificial turf as the likely culprit for his injury some two minutes before halftime, while he was pursuing a Rams running back. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just the turf, man,鈥?Willis said.

| − | Asked if he sustained a 鈥渢urf toe鈥?sprain 鈥?an injury that鈥檚 kept cornerback Tramaine Brock since the season opener 鈥?Willis responded: 鈥淚鈥檓 not saying, 鈥榊eah.鈥?I know the turf is what it is. We鈥檒l find out more tomorrow and we鈥檒l see.鈥?
| + | |
| − | Willis replacement, rookie Chris Borland, had not taken a defensive snap prior to this game. He drew praise from coach Jim Harbaugh afterward.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The 49ers defense has started this season strong despite the absences of several key players: Aldon Smith (suspension), NaVorro Bowman (knee surgery) and Glenn Dorsey (biceps surgery). Brock has yet to return to practice but did individual conditioning drills last week on a side field.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Willis鈥?was the first of four players to get knocked out of the game with injuries.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the third quarter, the 49ers lost rookie nickel back Jimmie Ward to a right quadriceps injury and left guard Mike Iupati to a concussion. Wide receiver Stevie Johnson believes he sustained a bruised right hip when hit upon recovering an onside kick with 2:24 remaining.

| − | | + | |
| − | General manager Trent Baalke said there is no truth to a NFL Network report Monday that聽the 49ers approached Frank Gore in the offseason and told him his roster spot was in jeopardy. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Gore, the 49ers鈥?all-time leading rusher, is earning close to $6 million in the final year of his contract. Baalke was incredulous at the notion the 49ers wouldn鈥檛 have brought Gore back for this season, his 10th.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The 49ers are not currently negotiating a possible extension with Gore, Baalke said, adding that any such deal wouldn鈥檛 happen until after the season. Gore had 16 carries for 38 yards, his second-lowest total this season behind a six-carry, 10-yard outing at Arizona.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Gore entered Monday night鈥檚 game at St. Louis as the NFL鈥檚 11th-leading rusher (365 yards), and he was coming off his consecutive 100-yard rushing games for the first time since 2011. He鈥檚 finished in the top 10 each year since Jim Harbaugh arrived as coach in 2011.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Rookie cornerback Dontae Johnson, who came on in relief of Ward, credited his defensive teammates for his first career interception and ensuing 20-yard return for a win-clinching touchdown.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 鈥淭he guys had their receivers covered up in the back, and our front had tremendous pressure,鈥?Johnson said. 鈥淭he pick-six is for all the defense.鈥?
| + | |
| − | Johnson said he merely was playing his assignment when he jumped a route and snagged Austin Davis鈥?pass with 53 seconds remaining. It was his first touchdown since high school, when he scored on offense.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Tight end Vernon Davis had three catches for 30 yards in his return from a back injury that kept him out the past past 1 陆 games. Davis also had two drops and a false-start penalty.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The 49ers improved to 13-1 in October under Jim Harbaugh, with eight straight wins dating back to an Oct. 14, 2012 loss to the New York Giants at Candlestick Park (26-3).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Jonathan Martin drew the start at right tackle as Anthony Davis (knee, leg) missed his fifth game this season.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Johnson said his right hip went into spasms after it was hit by a Rams鈥?knee on the onside kick. 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to bruise up, but I鈥檒l be good,鈥?Johnson said. 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 get up at first. It was聽聽football play, a bang-bang play.鈥?
| + | |
| − | Johnson had five catches for 53 yards, including a reception on a slant route that drew Harbaugh鈥檚 admiration afterward.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Also inactive for the 49ers were defensive tackles Tank Carradine and Quinton Dial, center Marcus Martin, wide receiver Quinton Patton and safety L.J. McCray (for the first time this season).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Bubba Ventrone and Kassim Osgood, who both re-signed this week, suited up and contribute mainly on special teams.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Greg Robinson, this year鈥檚 No. 2 overall draft pick, made his starting debut at left guard for the Rams, who moved Rodger Saffold to right guard and Davin Joseph to the bench.<p>Related Articles:</p><ul><li> <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com >Celine Bags </ a></li><li> <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com >Buy Celine Bags </ a></li><li> <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com >Celine UK Outlet </ a></li></ul> | + | |
