Frank Gore is finishing up a likely Hall of Fame career in Indianapolis, but he seems still to be San Francisco to his core.

And that seems to be causing the veteran running back some grief, what with the 49ers having won one game and all.

Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young caught up with Gore, currently eighth on the all-time rushing yards list, and said the longtime 49er didn’t like seeing from afar what was happening to his old franchise.

“Frank Gore grabbed me out of nowhere and he want to just scream and yell about it,” Young said. “Here he is, what, three years out from the NFC (championship and he (has) so much emotion, negative emotion about what’s going on and who’s in … and I will not break that confidence, but clearly the guy is still super upset. Just grabbed me out of nowhere and wanted to talk about it.”

Hey, 49ers fans have been doing that since about, oh, that NFC championship season.

Why should Gore, who spent 10 seasons with San Francisco and holds the franchise’s career record for rushing yards at 11,073, be any different?
