Frank's brother, former Vice President Al Gore, hot on the trail of Manbearpig..
Mock Draft Pick #6: Jordan Yingling selects Frank Gore, RB, SF

Frank Gore is a beast between the 20's. In the red zone, though, not so much. In 2oo6, Frank piled up close to 2200 total yards, and had only 9 touchdowns to show for it. After two consecutive drives on which he failed to punch it in from 1st and Goal from the 1 against the Eagles last year, Frank began losing carries to our boy, Michael Robinson. To become an elite fantasy running back, Frank will need to show more toughness punching it in at the goal line. The 49ers made an effort at improving their offense this year, bringing in Darrell Jackson from the rival Seattle Seahawks, which should help stretch the field. The continuing progression of tight end Vernon Davis and quarterback Alex Smith should also help keep defenses from stacking the line of scrimmage to stop the run. Another 2200 yard season may be a stretch, but Gore should put up at least a baker's dozen touchdowns this year in an improved offense.

By the way, Manbearpigs would be an awesome fantasy team name. Feel free to use it. No need to thank me for the suggestion.
