NOTE: James here. Don't forget to check out the comments I've updated the links twice today and there's some interesting stuff in there. As of 3:29 PM PST I've updated twice so check 'em out.

Hey, James here and as you can expect there's not a whole lot of news today. Unless I'm completely blind, in which case I apologize. But I've dutifully compiled the links that I think are interesting enough to be read by all of you this morning. So without further introduction, good morning, and enjoy your links.

We'll start with an article about the hall of fame nominees--Roger Craig has advanced farther this time than ever before after 10 years of elegibility. I sure hope he makes it. (SFGate.com)

Also from the Chronicle we've got an article on interim head coaches, what they've done, and the chances of Singletary keeping his job after the season. They're not good. (SFGate.com)

Here's some stats from Niner Insider for Shaun Hill. (SFGate.com)

Maiocco also covers the hall of fame nominees with his own take. (PressDemocrat.com)

The Rams picked up Larry Grant from our practice squad. Must have missed this guy, myself. (SacBee.com)

This article says Manusky's plan didn't work. Stating the obvious, no? Still worth a read, as always. (RealFootball365.com)

49ers serve Thanksgiving. News? I guess. (49ers.com)

Here's Eric Davis with this weeks Wrap Up. (49ers.com)

Make sure you get your pro bowl voting in, I know I'm gonna--though I guess we don't have much to vote for, do we? (49ers.com)

Shaun Hill is a must grab from free agency for all you fantasy players--according to this article. (Found on NFLGridIronGab.com says from KFFL.com)

Here's an article that's focused on the Patriots--but what interests me is the end. It talks about Tom Brady and whether or not the Patriots should keep Cassel instead and they go on to say that Tom Brady would come here, to San Francisco. That's an odd thought, to be sure. (BleacherReport.com)

That's really all there is for now folks, I'll try and find more ASAP.

Thanks for all the work. I don’t really comment in these threads, but I love having all the links at my fingertips.

Brady to SF

Wouldn’t that be something else? It’s highly unlikely, so I won’t hold my breadth, though.

just for kicks

Would you deal 3 first round picks for him like the article mentions? Maybe it’s worth turning into a longer post….

3 first?

Nah. But I may entertain sending two and maybe a third somewhere. Even then, I think that may be an overpay, as I doubt many teams would even consider giving up two first round picks.

While it’d definitely be exciting to have Brady in SF(not to mention the talent level increase), you would have to keep in mind that he would have very little talent around him (in terms of WRs and offensive linemen). You would also have to remember that defense lacks a pair of pass rushers and the secondary isn’t getting any younger.

With that said, I can’t see giving up a third first rounder in a row. I also can’t see giving up any second rounders if you’re giving up first rounders. Due to the things I pointed out in the first paragraph, the 49ers still need to draft (or find) starters for multiple positions, and second round picks may be able to accomplish that.

On another interesting note: if the Pats got two first rounders (and then some), they’d be in VERY good shape for the next handful of years. If they continue to draft well and keep Belichick in town, they could have the makings of a dynasty never yet seen before.

Also

I don’t think this needs a separate fan post. The way I see it, it’s a crazy pipe dream that will never happen. Brady is signed through 2010, and is still the heart and soul of that team. He’s probably still got 4 or 5 effective years on him, and maybe even more. Up until this season, he hasn’t really been plagued with any injuries, has he?

With that said, I think the conversation is fine in this thread. Of course, this is your site and you could do as you please. I just don’t think a dream really requires a separate post.

good point

I agree about keeping it in here. I had initially thought about a front page post but it’s a cheap way to get traffic (49ers interested in Brady!!!) and it’s not something worth an extensive discussion beyond this.

Oh my

What did I start? Haha, but yeah, I almost didn’t even post the link but something drove me to. It’d be interesting for sure but I want to see more of Hill before we right the guy off again. He needs his chance.

Here's some more links since it seems this post is getting reads

What should we as 49ers fans be thankful for? (49ersWebZone.com)

Here’s some articles about Nate Clements against his old team. Here and here. (49ers.com and SacBee.com)

Here’s an update on the stadium scenario. I haven’t followed this at all, can anyone answer something for me? If we move to Santa Clara does the team change names too, or..? Are we still SF 49ers? Sorry this is probably way obvious but nobody at my house seems to know and I’m in a hurry so I don’t want to look it up. (PressDemocrat.com)

Dare I kick up something else? How ’bout Mike Vick in San Fran? (SFGate.com)

Josh Morgan and Battle are returning to limited practice. (PressDemocrat.com)

I believe the Yorks have said that they would not change the name of the team, but I think the city of San Francisco has to let them keep using it, too. Now, I have no idea where I picked up either of those ideas, so they might be complete bunk, but that’s the impression that I have for some reason.
