Golden Nuggets: Game Day!

by James Brady on Sep 20, 2009 3:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Good morning folks, man I am pumped! Today had better be a good day. Last night my favorite fighter won at UFC 103, one of my favorite players took the US Open just a few days ago and man, it'd be great if the 49ers spanked the Seahawks in the home opener. Yes, I said spanked, big deal, wanna fight about it? Anyway, It'd be a shame if we lost, not necessarily a lost season but it sure would be nice to have step up on the whole division, no? I also like how yesterday I called our running game abysmal and somebody gave me a remark about having no faith, which irked me just enough for me to not respond to it. Really, after last week can anyone claim it isn't? I didn't say it'd be bad against the 'Hawks, ya know. I think somebody is taking my sarcasm a bit too seriously. But anyway--I may as well just get to your links for the day. So here it goes

WR Brandon Jones is unlikely to play today, he's just not up to game speed. (Yahoo.com)

The Seahawks could be without two of their best linebackers today--good news for us, eh? (NFL.com)

The Niners will be sticking to the run, despite having a poor showing at Arizona last week. (SacBee.com)

HOF list

This good be the best group of WRs to go into the Hall all at one time; between Rice, Tim Brown and Cris Carter (it would be a travesty if Michael Irvin goes in and Carter or Brown don’t). Also would be nice to see Rice and Eddie D go in together.

Prediction for today: 23-13 guys wearing red; Hassleback goes out with a sprained vagina in the 2nd quarter, and Vernon has a big game.

Prediction for today...

Niners fans will still refuse to learn how to spell the name of the QB that defeats them.

It’s HASSELBECK for fucks sakes. Not Hassleback, not Hasselback, not Hasselback, or any other sad derivative of your laziness and lack of spell check capability.

Spell it with me three times.
Hasselbeck
Hasselbeck
Hasselbeck

Oh and Vernon Davis having a big game isn’t a prediction, it’s a prayer.

Agreed...

I want us to beat you straight up, but have our division look like the toughest in football by the end of the year…

Poor performance

I think Husslebuck will throw for 200 yards with 3 int and 1 TD today.

-1 for lack of wit.

+1 for delusion.

Watching the morning games...

1. Our #1 from Carolina is looking real good.

2. JaMarcus Russell is a terrible quarterback. Can we say bust? This bust is Jayne Mansfield big.

by Bob In Beaverton on Sep 20, 2009 11:53 AM PDT reply actions

a really terrible quarterback.

by Bob In Beaverton on Sep 20, 2009 12:38 PM PDT up reply actions

Yay Carolina

man they are stinking it up bad! 0-2(game not over yet) but I doubt they will come back. What is the rest of their schedule? We are looking good so far with that pick.

:) On the subject of spell check, there is a good program that spell checks in all programs, including blogs. It is called Spell Check Anywhere (SpellCheckAnywhere.Com).
