SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Losing is lonely, and it was solitude quarterback Blaine Gabbert found when not a single media member showed up to the San Francisco 49ers quarterback's Wednesday press conference.
According to reports, the 49ers did not list Gabbert on Wednesday's schedule, so the media did not show up.
When Gabbert arrived and noticed the rows on empty seats in front of him, the quarterback sat down in the front row and waited.
Gabbert, 26, is 1-1 as a starter this season. The Missouri product has completed 37-of-59 passes for 449 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions this season. The 49ers [3-7] host the Arizona Cardinals [8-2] at 4:05 p.m. Sunday in San Francisco.

As far as Gabbert, he showed up on time. The #49ers did not list him on today's schedule so the media didn't know.
