There was an obvious parallel when reports on ESPN and “Instant 49ers” first surfaced Friday evening of the 49ers’ interest in Kurt Warner.
The 49ers were to Warner what the S.F. Giants are to Manny Ramirez . . . right?
However, there is one major difference: The 49ers are serious about acquiring Warner.

The feeling is that the Cardinals are not going to extend much beyond what they’ve already offered, and the 49ers really have a chance to pull this off.
With Ramirez, the L.A. Dodgers are seemingly bidding against themselves. It’s difficult to imagine the Giants being a real factor in the negotiations.
