On Monday, a day after becoming the franchise's all-time rushing leader, 49ers running back Frank Gore said he wasn't sure if he would receive a game ball for his performance in a 26-0 win over the Rams.
A few hours later, head coach Jim Harbaugh shed no light on the subject. Harbaugh, however, did offer his plan for paying tribute to Gore's milestone in the future.
A game ball? Please. How about having Gore in bronze?
"There should be a statue to Frank," Harbaugh said. "Maybe with the new stadium ... A life-size statue of him in one of those cool positions he gets in - about 6 inches off the ground, or a leg going one way, and the other going the other, twisting and turning. It's just so cool. It's just so cool to slow the tape down and watch what he does."
