You can't have a press conference involving 49ers CEO Jed York without "a moment." And York delivered -- quite awkwardly -- as he addressed the readiness of Levi's Stadium and specifically the complex's oft-debated turf during Monday's official host committee welcome at San Francisco's Moscone Center.
York attempted to joke that the 49ers did NFL senior vice president of events Peter O'Reilly a big favor by not making it to the postseason, which allowed the league to begin field preparations a month in advance.
"Peter asked us if we could not make the playoffs this year to make sure the turf was as good as possible," York said with a grin. "I said, 'OK, if that's what we have to do, then we'll take that under advisement.' "
Not many laughs at that one, understandably.

Oh man, that Jed! What a hoot! Did you get Ali Towle (god that name is stupid) to write that joke for you?
Seriously now, you're a god damn joke yourself, Jed. Ever heard of the phrase "Too Soon"? Well it's too fuckin soon to be poking fun at our 5-11, last-place finish before the football season is even over. I don't care how buzzed you were from your morning millionaire mimosas and strumpets, you don't lighten the 49er mood by cracking a joke about how shitty we were.
Fuckin Jed. He's so happy and proud of himself right now when all he did was hire Chip Kelly. He thinks there's some huge weight off of his shoulders for the Super Bowl because he hired a coach that nobody else really wanted. Hire whatever coach you want for this team Jed, still doesn't change the fact that you're getting further and further away from actually playing in a Super Bowl that your stadium is hosting. How's that for a joke?
