49ers kicker Robbie Gould gets a cold dose of reality from his Bears predecessor

Robbie Gould doesn’t seem to want to kick for the 49ers anymore. The 49ers seem content to ignore Gould’s trade request and bind him to the team with the loathsome franchise tag. Chicago Bears fans don’t seem to want to forgive Cody Parkey, whose miss from 43 yards ended their team’s playoff run in January.

Everyone seems to think it would be a natural fit — pre-existing impediments notwithstanding — if Gould returned to the Bears, for whom he kicked his first 11 NFL seasons.

And now, for a bracing shot of reality, put your hands together for Kevin Butler.
