Everybody on the team speaks. There are 14 podiums for the most popular players the media wants to talk to and then the rest of the players are either scattered around the floor in front of the podiums and then a couple players usually sit in the stands and conduct interviews with anybody that wants to see them there. Here are the players that were chosen for each podium:

#1 - Crabtree
#2 - Gore
#3 - Staley
#4 - Kaepernick
#5 - Moss
#6 - V. Davis
#7 - Harbaugh
#8 - Goldson
#9 - Whitner
#10 - Willis
#11 - Bowman
#12 - Rogers
#13 - Ald. Smith
#14 - Justin Smith

A+ the way Alex Smith handed Deion's questions in my opinion. Impressive again. No shocker there.

Bob Glauber:

Ray Lewis denies report he took banned substance to heal triceps injury. Says he has never tested positive for PEDs in career

Ray Lewis to @tomecurran, who asks if he has ever taken deer antler extract for triceps injury. "No. Never."

I'm pissed Ted Ginn didn't get to sit in front of the podium. I also would have loved to see Anthony Davis speak. It's so amusing - deep southern accent.

I think you're mixing people up. Anthony Davis? He's definitely from New Jersey. Or did you mean Ginn? He's from Ohio.

Maybe the most interesting part of the whole thing:

What about S.W.A.T.S.'s other products? The deer-antler spray does contain IGF-1, though in small quantities, and deer IGF-1 may not even work in humans. No such thing as negatively charged water exists, according to Stephen Lower, an emeritus chemistry professor at Canada's Simon Fraser University who has lectured on the structure of water. The idea that hologram stickers or deer-antler extract will encode radio waves emitted near them defies basic physics. In tests at his lab at the NYU Polytechnic Institute, radio frequency expert and electrical engineering professor Michael Knox showed SI that the hologram chips did not alter the frequencies transmitted by a cell-phone at all. (As far as interfering with a cellphone signal, the antistatic bag that the chips came in was more effective than the chips themselves.) Knox also determined that the glue adhesive on the back of the chips acts as an insulator, preventing any transmission between the chips and the skin. His conclusion: "They appear to be just stickers."

I'm most pissed that Brian Jennings isn't getting any love form the media. He'd be on top of my list of players I want to interview.

Ex-teammates Manningham, Jacobs took different paths after joining 49ers | CSN Bay Area

Although Jacobs was suspended without pay, the 49ers agreed to pay Jacobs for two weeks of the three weeks, a league source told CSNBayArea.com. His suspension cost him nearly $56,000. He still made $1.386 million from the 49ers.

Donatell is in his second season on coach Jim Harbaugh’s staff. He confirmed that he would like, at some point, return to a defensive coordinator role, having previously served in that capacity for the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons.

“I definitely aspire to do that, but I also know a good thing,” Donatell said Tuesday during the 49ers’ Media Day session for Super Bowl XLVII. “It’s set up so we can have some nice years here.”

Donatell is under contract with the 49ers for next season, so they could block any potential interest other teams might have in him. Donatell said he’s had no official contact with the Eagles, who’ve hired Chip Kelly as their coach.

The second link is older but still worth a read and didn't see it posted yet.

Always like the play and scheme breakdowns especially considering a majority of "analysts" usually don't spout off anything interesting or anything that I normal fan couldn't come up with themselves.

Kyle Williams still asked about last Niners playoff loss - NFL.com

He's got to be one of the best interviews on the entire team. What a great guy he always appears to be. Unfortunately he is not the norm in today's NFL.
