Things remain relatively quiet for the 49ers, but there was plenty of discussion about the hiring of Ray Brown.  In case you haven't noticed, we've started mixing in more links from our 3 divisional blogs: Turf Show Times, Field Gulls, and Revenge of the Birds.  I realize many of you may not care to visit the sites of other teams.  However, I figure during the offseason it's useful to get some info on those other teams, so we can be better prepared as the season approaches.  During the season, non-49er links will be primarily from their opponent that week.  However, in the offseason, when things are fairly quiet, we'll keep mixing in some other sites.  Hope you enjoy it.
