Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

Golden Nuggets: Wish I Had More

Well good morning folks. Not much going on yesterday in 49erland. The biggest news recently that affects the Niners is Seahawks LB Leroy Hill being suspended for the first game of the season. They play the 49ers that game, I'll be a happy dude come gameday because Hill is a legitimate player, his loss hurts the Seahawks. Another good thing to consider is that he's also in some other trouble and may be gone from the team for more than just one game. Any losses they take due to his absence is a gain for us, so there's that going for the Niners. Beyond that, there's really nothing as far as actual news and what not is concerned. I'll look hard but I'm not anticipating anything even of blog nature today. So if I only have one or two links for you - it's not my fault. Enjoy the links, folks.

As noted, the NFL suspended Seahakws' Leroy Hill for game one of the 2010 season, which will be a game against the 49ers at Qwest Field. (ESPN.com)

York expects London to get behind the 49ers. That would be nice, I'd like that home-field atmosphere. (CSNBayArea.com)

Star-divide

Rival Blog Buzz Field Gulls have a season retrospective on Jon Ryan. Turf Show Times and Revenge of the Birds were massive slackers yesterday.

Yesterday On Niners Nation We started with the Golden Nuggets, I had a post on your confidence levels in Ted Ginn Jr, and then Fooch had a fantasy football related post.

Today On Niners Nation (All times pacific and subject to change)

7:00 AM - Projecting the 53-man roster continue.

11:00 AM - Another confidence post.

2:00 PM - Something here! Not sure what.

Well, everyone I know who is planning on going to the game in Wembley

will be supporting the 49ers, neutrals and fans alike

I suspect that you think tilting at windmills means something other than what it does.

When Fooch did the links...

If there weren’t enough links, he’d assume a new pen name, write articles himself, build another fan page to post them on, than link the new articles back to the links. Ninja, if you’re not going to take this job seriously…if there’s not enough links…I just don’t see how the 49ers can win this season with you under-performing on the links like this. Also, Tim Tebow sucks.

I know what I'm talking about, I started at right guard for the 1992 College Park Falcons.

Nice rant. Let’s all have a pop at Ninjames.

Hey NinnyJim – did you get that photo I emailed you?

There will be loads of support ...

… for the Niners at Wembley.

The Broncos have a similar level of support to San Francisco in this country. The NFL was at its most popular here in the 1980s so the teams that have the biggest followings amongst UK fans are Miami (not just because of the 1980s Marino factor but because Florida is such a popular holiday destination for Brits), San Francisco, Chicago, Denver, Washington.

New England grew a large support base in more recent years because of their success.

But even if the Niners didn’t have a big fan base here, which they do, they would be well supported anyway due to being the home team. Fans of other NFL teams tend to get behind the home team in the Wembley game – the whole stadium will be decked out in red and gold and everyone will be cheering on the Niners.

Only drawback – I’m ALREADY bored of friends who drfited away from the NFL after the 80s asking me: “Are Montana and Rice still playing”. You’re so funny guys.

Already so excited about this season of all seasons, with THE game – Coach Singletary is here tomorrow, doing interviews in London for the UK media.

Just tell them yes ..

on Video games (I think Madden has them and there’s another game I can’t think of right now that has classic players you could make a team with, it was pretty fun.)

by ChesapeakeBay9er on Jul 18, 2010 1:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's that time of year

I think most of us prefer on-target brevity to "who wold win a fight between Young and Montana-type fill. We trust the current capos di capos—-Fooch and Ninjames—-to do it right.

That might be what you want seafood lover ...

… but what about the rest of us? Don’t you think you’re being a little shellfish?

You've go my vote for funniest comment.

Reminds me of the song “Wet Dream” by Kip Adadda…..from way back when.

by McTee on Jul 18, 2010 9:19 AM PDT up reply actions  

Ha ha ...

… that’s genius. I had never heard that song when you mentioned it but just watched it on YouTube. How old is it? It’s brilliant. This guy’s gonna need a sturgeon, ha ha!

The 80's I think....

Here’s a copy of the lyrics if you’re interested: http://www.lyricsdepot.com/kip-adadda/wet-dream.html

One of my favorite lines is right at the beginning when he brings his Stingray into the Shell station because it was overheating: “They said I’d blown a seal. I said fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay pal?”

It's brilliant ...

… great suggestion. I love it.

Actually...

Excellent pun, but you need to stop crabbing so much and clam up.

How about

“who would win in a fight between Fooch and Ninjames?”

Fooch for one reason....

you’d be too scared of beind sued to lay a finger on him! LOL

Got a picture I want to share

But it’s on my computer, not the internet. How do I go about doing that?

Put it on Flickr ...

which is really quick and easy to do. That’ll give your photo a unique URL which you can use to import it here using the little icon of a tree.

Another link ...

Michael Lombardi did his guide to the NFC on nfl.com and the Niners were in the second group of teams. He thinks we’re play-off bound (paraphrasing slightly, admittedly) and there’s also a video in this story of San Francisco being featured on Total Access’s 32 in 32 segment.

Smileyman makes it to SI

Just noticed that Smileyman’s “Worst Mistake Ever Made” article hit the main 49er news page at Sports Illustrated

by McTee on Jul 18, 2010 10:04 AM PDT reply actions  

Hate to rain on your parade

but they link Niners Nation all the time on that page. That’s actually how I discovered this site.

I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".
