Striking a blow for the old-school instincts in all of us, Mike Singletary, the former Bears linebacker and new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, made splash yesterday.

Singletary thought his player took the whole thing too nonchalantly, so banished him to the showers, forcing Maxwell into a walk of shame to the locker room. Here's a clip of Singletary's pull-no-punches post-game comments. He really gets going about two minutes in.
