This is what we'll call a quick intro to the links. James can't make it tonight and I've had a few adult beverages, so it's probably not the best idea for me to ramble on. So let's just get the links up and going!

I hope Raye's defenders...

…will read the Q&A. He sounds like a grade-A idiot. Here’s my favorite part:

“No,” Raye said. "What you’re listing is this, is that he has been able to do that because we’ve run the ball against eight-man fronts. That’s the reason that his completion percentage is what it is. If we want to change and go 360 degrees away from that, then we’re entering into an arena that I don’t think at this point we want to be in.

The "360 degree" comment was silly, but what he's saying is not

There’s a strong correlation between success in the field position battle and winning games. The longer the other team has to move down the field, the more likely.

By giving the other team a longer field to work with, a given percentage of would-be opponent TDs become FGs and would-be FGs become punts. That works out to “saving” a few points a game — enough to lift a 7 win team to 10 or 11 wins.

I love the Coors Light partnership with Coors Light.. Now we will get to see some of those funny commercials with Singletary being asked questions haha

I hope not

I think that the only coaches they have on there are ex-coaches. Can’t think of a current coach on there. That’s why they wheeled out Romeo Crennel for this season.

BAN SUBWAY

Subway is supporting Crabtree during his holdout..They have paid him over $250,000 for him sitting and holding out on the 49ers..Do you want to put money into a company that has allowed Crabtree to sit comfortably and blow us off??

For everytime you buy at Subway, they are putting more money into Crabtrees pocket..

BAN SUBWAY!!!!
