McCaffrey, Bosa 'not happy' after 6 a.m. fire alarm pull at 49ers hotel - ESPN
HENDERSON, Nev. — Seven minutes before George Kittle's 6:10 a.m. alarm was set to go off, he and the rest of his San Francisco 49ers teammates were jarred awake by something else: the fire alarm at the team's hotel on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
Kittle jumped out of bed, walked into his bathroom, closed the door and waited there for the next 18 minutes until the noise stopped. Nobody was forced to evacuate as engineers at the hotel said it was a false alarm.
But not every Niner was quite as nonplussed by the disturbance as Kittle. When he walked down to breakfast, he took an informal poll among his teammates to see who was the grumpiest because of the early wake-up call.
The answer: a tie between running back Christian McCaffrey and defensive end Nick Bosa, both of whom are notorious in San Francisco's locker room for their devotion to routine.
«It had to be them,» Kittle said. «You don't want to wake the sleeping bear. But Christian was not happy, too.»
Indeed, McCaffrey and Bosa were both still at least slightly agitated about it later on Thursday afternoon when they met with the media for the final time before Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs.
During his availability, McCaffrey made it clear he didn't believe the alarm was set off by accident.
«I think there's no way it's random,» McCaffrey said. «It's part of it. It's just more wood thrown on the fire.»
Like Kittle, Bosa was asleep when the alarm went off. He woke up and immediately texted the rest of the defensive line group chat, which he said was already full of complaints for the premature and loud wake up.
While Bosa took some solace in the fact that it was relatively close to a normal wake up time instead of 2 or 3 a.m., he agreed with
