Golden Nuggets: Four years, baby.

by James Brady on Dec 29, 2008 3:08 AM PST in 49ers Links

Hey guys, and we're on to the offseason, yeah? I'm (hopefully, if ya guys like me, etc) I'll continue to post the Nuggets daily updating you on everything Niners. There will likely be a few other big stories near the bottom of the links from now on as things quiet down in the coming weeks/months that don't have much to do with the Niners but are important nonetheless. Right now I'm pretty stoked, it was a good win and I'm happy that we're keeping Singletary. I'm so unsure how I feel about Mike Martz though, at one point I want to keep him, our offense is greatly improved. Then I wonder if that's because Singletary is balancing it well. Then I wonder if we're just playing better becau--well screw it. If we fire Martz, fine there better be someone good, if we don't, then... fine, the guy better figure out how to not stall in the red zone. And here's some links. (There's not much unique news today, links will be short.)

How 'bout that win, huh? How about Singletary as head coach? Pretty sweet. (SFGate.com)

I'm sure you've heard, but Jed York is officially president of the team. (SFGate.com)

The contract for Singletary was all set on Friday, everything fit so perfectly with the win yesterday to get it all done at once. Perfect. (SFGate.com)

More on Singletary, with some notes from the game (considering the botched long snap, when they decided they wanted Singletary, etc.) (SFGate.com)

Here's a few notes from the game. (SacBee.com)

A nod to Frank Gore for becoming the first 49er in team history to rush for three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. Good show, Gore. (MercuryNews.com)

Give Jed York a chance. I agree with this article. (MercuryNews.com)

Here's some quotes 'From the Locker Room.' (49ers.com)

Maiocco grades the Niners for yesterday. (PressDemocrat.com)

And some quotes from McCloughan. (49ers.com)

Should be a lot to update today. That is all for now.

Thanks. When you’re too lazy to google, just count on your peers. Appreciated.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

Prior to today...

The Bay Area media (sans maybe Barbieri) was so behind Sing for HC that you would think they were lobbying for Obama as Head Coach. I think Lynch gave birth to a baby with the news yesterday.

Pardon me if I'm wrong...

… but weren’t the Skins 8-7 at the time that we beat them, making them a winning team?

Or

Was that indicating a winning team after the season was complete? Even if that is the case, the Redskins were a solid team, and a win over them was still worth a lot considering the play of Clinton Portis.

end of season

It’s lame, but I think he was talking about the end of season record.

You can only beat the teams on your schedule.

Sando Link

Sando had some quick thoughts on the hiring of Mike Singletary. He has reserved room for a little bit of skepticism.

David Bass on his TD spike

After quarterback Shaun Hill scored on a 2-yard touchdown scramble, Hill tossed the ball to David Baas, per his tradition with the linemen.

"I was really inspired by everybody’s mustaches, so when Shaun threw me the ball I had to spike it as hard as I could in honor of mustache magic," said Baas

mustache magic, hmm do I smell a new catch phrase?

Simply by pulling on both ends, Patrick Willis can stretch diamonds back into coal

Man. I've been off on updating lately.

I’ve spent literally two hours today being (site decorum’d) around by Sprint about a 250 dollar activation fee and yeah. I’ll be sure that I update as much as possible throughout the offseason. (I wonder to myself if people come back, don’t see updates, and silently rage at me in their heads. :[ )
