Golden Nuggets: The News... Or Lack Thereof

by James Brady on Jul 27, 2009 3:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Good morning, afternoon or evening folks. James here with your Nuggets for the day. Today, there's not so much news, but more of a lack of news that is driving the articles. Basically, Crabtree still has not signed a contract and doesn't seem to be close to doing so... Thus, more articles talking about this and possibly why are sprouting up. Not that you're likely to get any new information from them at this point, but its always good to see the different opinions. I think I may have an article or two about the quarterback situation, not sure. Any way, here's you're links for the day, enjoy.

Lynch of the Chronicle seems to be doing nothing these days but battling back criticism after criticism from his readers, and I must say he's doing a pretty good job at it. He discusses the ideal weights for offensive lineman in this article. (SFGate.com)

An article about Shaun Hill which I agree with--the guy doesn't get enough respect. (SacBee.com)

And a nice, big article about the guy. (Shaun Hill, if you're a slow one) (SacBee.com)

Here's just a general article on the state of the 49ers, or more aptly, a training camp preview. (SFGate.com)

What to look for as the 49ers prepare for training camp. Do keep in mind that the article is bay-area based, so it also talks about the... Raiders. (MercuryNews.com)

Full broadcasts of the 49ers' five Super Bowls are going to be released on DVD in August. (49ersWebZone.com)

This is the beginning of the best part of the year

Hope and glory.

I’m not a big baseball fan anymore, and all I ask of the Giants is to carry me to football season. Well, we are here.

I remember how every year the SF Chronicle would publish a list of all the players in the Niners’ camp. I’d clip it out and watch as player by player the roster got trimmed and the final roster came into focus.

These days a Maiocco or Barrows, barring injuries, can predict within three or four players who will be on the roster, so that part of the excitement of pre-season is gone.

But this pre-season I’ve really a good feeling about the team. Every year in the world of NFL parity there are teams that sink out of the playoffs and teams that rise. There are enough question marks with all teams in the NFC West that a rational argument can be made that the Niners can win.

Stats only take you so far. The Niners finished the last seven games of the season 5-2. The counter argument is that those games were against bad teams. But here’s a stat for you: All games that are won are against teams that lose.

Let the games begin!
