Neck scare forgotten in an instant

SUNDAY’s 49ers-Seahawks game began with a gasp as San Francisco kick returner Trenton Cannon was wheeled off the field on a gurney, having suffered what appeared to be a serious neck injury. He was hospitalized with a concussion.

No matter, on Seattle’s first possession it ran a fake punt for aTDbyRB Travis Homer .As Homer reached the goal line, he somersaulted into the end zone.

That frightening neck and head injury to Cannon, the stretcher that rolled Cannon into an ambulance — the kind of scene we’re told “puts everything in perspective” — went ignored for a stupid and tired TV highlights stunt.

➤ How do diminished standards benefit any of us?

As heard in his latest podcast with Ryan Ruocco, CC Sabathia remains unable to speak a complete sentence in public without a vulgarity. If he chooses to be known as an undignified, classless slob, he’s a doing great job.

On Clint Frazier, he couldn’t come up with better than “S--t is ridiculous. That kid played 15 games in the f--king big leagues. Get the f--k out of here with all these stupid-ass f--king stories.”

Sabathia is 41 and claims to be a proud family man. It’s time he grew up. Or shouldn’t we expect better from him?

Speaking of the gratuitously on-air vulgar, multimedia sudden star Pat McAfee, a former NFL punter, has agreed to a $30 million-per-year deal for FanDuel to sponsor his “The Pat McAfee Show.”

Think how much money is lost to FanDuel by sports gamblers to throw that kind of dough around.

If McAfee were as bold as he likes to sound, he would start and end every show with a special thanks to the suckers in his audience who lose their money to FanDuel and now, by extension, to him.
