'Morning, all, Ninjames here. Yesterday was another slow day for the 49ers, but not necessarily the NFL in general. I wanted to remind everyone that the Nuggets can serve as a tell-all link dump for everyone here. If you come across anything related to the NFL or sports in general that you found to be interesting, you can post it up in the comments for discussion. Also, especially considering it's the offseason, it doesn't even necessarily need to be sports related. If you find something funny or interesting, you could link to that, just don't shy away from sports and 49ers talk if it's applicable. For those of you asking, yes, I am keeping track of Yesterday's Best Comment, and I will post the results at who has the most (as well as probably take some votes on what the best best comment was) at the beginning of the 49ers preseason. So enjoy these links, even though they aren't many.
Matt Maiocco posted the exclusive second part of his exclusive interview with Jed York. I'm past the point of making fun of the wording... well, kind of. (CSNBayArea.com)
Here is Mike Sando's latest mailbag post over at his NFC West blog. There are more than the usual number of 49ers-related questions, too. Maybe he's becoming a Niners fan? (ESPN.com)
The 49ers announced their schedule for the remaining OTAs for the offseason. (Examiner.com)
Maiocco notes some recent comments from Colts GM Bill Polian and how they relate to our Niners. (CSNBayArea.com)
This isn't even 49ers related at this point, but Cohn has some thoughts on 'Frisco vs LA'. (PressDemocrat.com)
The 49ers continue to get some offseason fantasy football love. (FantasyKnuckleheads.com)
The Madden NFL 2011 team ratings were released, and my good friend Pasta (OK so we're not good friends but we have tweeted on occasion) has the coverage. Notable... notes about the 49ers is that they're tied with the Cardinals at 79. 79 seems low but it really is a step up for the Niners, who have gotten little respect in Madden years past. 79 is even more impressive when you note that the highest team is 92, and not 99 as has been the custom. (PastaPadre.com)
Rival Blog Buzz At Turf Show Times, they have a post about Sam Bradford and how he's looking, and yet another piece on OJ Atogwe. Over at Revenge of the Birds they have some thoughts on their restricted free agent guard Deuce Lutui and their Flock of Links.
Yesterday On Niners Nation The Golden Nuggets kicked us off as usual, and Fooch had a post about Alex Smiith and some statistics, then I had a review of Run Ricky Run, an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, and we closed the day with my latest At Least We're Not, with a look at the Green Bay Packers.
Today On Niners Nation (All times Pacific and subject to maybe, possibly change)
7:00 AM - I'll have a player profile post on Alex Smith.
11:00 AM - Fooch has a post going up looking at some of Sando's recent comments about overvalued and undervalued players.
2:00 PM - Something else will be up in this slot, from myself, as soon as I figure out what it is.
4:00 PM - I was going to just do a quick run-down of some Madden-related things and the 49ers.
Yesterday's Best Comment Brundylop gets the best comment of yesterday if only because of a computer glitch. He posted a picture showcasing Aaron Rodgers' glorious porn mustache and my browser glitched--and Rodgers' face followed me on all of my pages until I closed out of the browser. Here's a screenshot of it right in the middle of the text box on a completely different post. Seriously priceless. Not even his whole body, just the 'stache followed me.

I can’t wait to buy the new Madden game. From looking at the rating the 49ers are in the top half. Plus we are close to teams like the Eagles, Giants and Texans. It will be a good Madden year.
I wish you could download the new draftees to older versions
I don’t want to have to go buy a new Madden just to have Davis, Iupati, Bowman, mays, etc on my team…

Let's talk on Twitter
What if
What if they had an update package that they sold over the internet. For only like $25 dollars you can just update the software or something. It would save them money because they wouldn’t have to produce the disks and package them, and fans would be more incline to update every year.
I only buy a new Madden every 2 or 3 years. But if I could update it online I would do it every year.
It would be nice, but not going to happen.
Still wouldn’t save money. Game companies make far too much money, producing the disks and packaging hardly costs anything these days, and now with in-game advertising, they easily recoup those costs
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
Yep reproduction of disks is cheap
probably like 20 cents per for the disk and maybe a dollar for casing. If that.

9’ers will be in the 80’s after the first roster update or two. Looking forward to not having to operate out of the gun 100% of the time and immediately having to drop back 15 yards from the line of scrimmage every play to avoid the insta-sack. My Gore usually averages about 20 yards rushing and 120 receiving per game since the only effective way I can get him the ball is screens or sideline dumps if they blitz the corners.
lol I usually set rushing records with Gore....
WITH that mediocre line lol

Madden CBs
The Niners will be awesome for speed except for CB’s. I am wishing for 90 speed for them and our Wide receivers.
Let's make a good team, a Great Team!
79 overall for SF according to the link, WTF??
We should easily be in the 80’s this year we played tough teamss real well last season.
Black Sand Ninja!!!
The ratings are different this year.
79 this year isn’t the same as 79 last year. We’re right around Houston-Philly level which is right for what we showed last season.
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
Yeah, the ratings are a little BS....
They have the Jets as an 89, when they basically limped into the playoffs (because teams at the end of the season laid down due to already locking in their playoff spots)

Yeah
But they’re the J-E-T-S.
East coast bias.
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

No doubt, that is definitely the truth.
They lost their most productive RB, still have an unproven QB but the D is monsterous.
Black Sand Ninja!!!
Cohn seems to be pretty hyphy. ‘Frisco?’ That guy must rock out with Andre Nickatina on a regular basis in the Cohn Zone

Boy I still remember Madden 2008
Alex Smith went from an 82 to a 99 overall in 2 years.
please, football gods. let it happen in real life
Dashon, Mays, and Bamm Bamm will get the record for most decapitations in one season

Anyone ever play this ...

Demo is okay
but rumor is that the lag from non-host in online games is pretty bad…lets see if the company fixes that problem
1.Brandon Graham 1.Charles Brown 2. Vladimir Ducasse 3.Torell Troup 4.Robert Johnson 6.Mike Kafka 6.Joshua Moore 7.Alex Daniels
The glitch is seriously awesome
I think it was sending you a subliminal message. Not sure what it was, but definitely subliminal
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Madden
I think from now on what I’ll do with all sports games is to wait and buy them after their respective seasons are over, that way all of the rosters are updates and the patches have been downloaded. So I’m looking forward to Madden 11 as well, once it hits 2011, lol
