Golden Nuggets: In Which I Rant About Nothing...
With great power, comes great responsibility. My friend Anri said that, and I'm pretty sure his buddy Spiderman said that before he did. What's the point of that? Nothing, really. I just raffled off the first sentence in the Nuggets and made some quick money. I'd like to acknowledge right now an email I got from LondonNiner, he took a picture of a box of 'Golden Nuggets' cereal that they have in the far-off, backwards land of England. I'd like to thank him for that, because when I saw it, buried under emails from Fooch, forwarding me important information, bands requesting reviews, spam and Florida Danny telling me, not when he will have a post scheduled, but a loose measurement of time in which he'll be late in posting his stats, it really did make my day. Seriously, I was pretty stoked. I opened it in a tab and every time I closed another tab, it showed that. Great stuff. Anyway, I have no idea how many links I have for you because I'm writing this before even taking a preliminary look - so we'll discover together (not really because I'm writing this at 1 AM I just like to let you guys feel loved and included, but really you're not), enjoy folks.
Hey cool, the teams the 49ers play in 2011 have been announced. It looks like we'll have a pretty difficult schedule. We should be the favorites though, you know - as Super Bowl defending champs and all. (CSNBayArea.com)
The team announced the rest of the open training camps. I was supposed to go to all of these, but it looks like I don't have the funds to make it that way. Sucks - but hopefully I'm moving closer that way soon. (SacBee.com)
Sam Lam has another opponent breakdown, the most recent looking at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team I've always had a soft spot for - probably because nobody else does. (Examiner.com)
Maiocco continues the round-table of sorts with the other beat writers, taking a look at our rival Seahawks. The links to the other beat writers involved are at the bottom of the article. (CSNBayArea.com)
Over at his NFC West blog, Sando breaks down the training camps for... well, the NFC West. (ESPN.com)
Lynch takes a look at the 49ers secondary. I'm excited about our safeties, but I'm not entirely confident in any of our corners, even Spencer. (SFGate.com)
Yahoo Sports has updated their 49ers team report, a good breakdown, click around and read up. (Yahoo.com)
What does everyone think of Nate Byham? I think he stands a shot at making the roster, probably the best blocking tight end to come out of the draft. Anyway, here's a piece on him from the official website. (49ers.com)
The 49ers announced a partnership with HP and some stuff that I really don't want to read. (49ers.com)
Rival Blog Buzz Revenge Of The Birds had their bird droppings, a post asking for questions for a community interview with Jim Dray, another post looking at training camp battles, and a quote of the day. Turf Show Times has, well, two Random Ramsdom posts, one here and one here. Nothing new at Field Gulls.
Yesterday On Niners Nation Kicked off with the Golden Nuggets, an update to They Were Our Future! was posted, Andrew had... well... he had a post, and then Florida Dannys kicked us right in the crotch with a gigantic stats post.
Today On Niners Nation(All times pacific and subject to change)
7:00 AM - Florida Danny kicks us off with a bit about an interview with football outsiders.
11:00 AM - I'll get a confidence post up here.
2:00 PM - I'm thinking I'll have something about training camp here.

How exactly
does the NFL “release” a team’s opponents? It is well known how the schedule is determined and pretty easy to figure out. In my Madden franchise I just started the 2013 season, and when picking my preseason opponents, figured out who the Niners play and pick teams I probably won’t play for 2 or 3 seasons. The interesting thing is the schedule, not the opponents.
Not knocking that you linked to it, just that Maiocco actually wasted an article not really saying much…
Also, can we see the Golden Nuggets pic? Will it become the new image for the nuggets?
Most fans don’t really go looking for that information. They’re happy to have it presented to them, ya know?
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
Agree...
easy access to information is best for most people. Unless of course you have no life outside of Madden. 2013 Season? Really?

No more tickets?
Is it just me or does anyone know for a fact that all the open practices are now sold out? I just tried to register for tickets and it wouldn’t let me select a date. :|
24 days to go. . .

they usually sell out the first day
I recommend showing up anyways. I’m not sure how strict they will check this year, but a story about loosing\leaving your printout somewhere should be sufficient.
I don’t think that at all… and of course this is all speculation on your behalf

losing (DAMN YOU FOR FOSTERING THIS MISSPELLING INTERNETS!!!)
Loosing is what you do with the hounds on the neighbor kids you don’t like.

Or it's what Russel Crowe did in the beginning of Gladiator
“Loose the hounds of war!”
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
As the Spaniard would say...
Si
Gimme 1 round!

Any longer then that and you’re screwed.

It looks like it will be a tough schedule in 2011.
NFC East and AFC North is pretty brutal, but I will be looking forward to the rematch with Dallas (after we beat them in the playoffs this year). Also, it sucks that we will have to go to Green Bay for the third year in a row after both of us win our divisions but whatever. I just hope it’s earlier in the year.
I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".
You're funny James
You’re kind of hysterical, like a woman. I love you though, you crazy fool.

Haha, reading it over I did kind of get away from myself in the intro.
I do that occasionally.

What do you use as your browswer?
This is the second time that you’ve noted stuff from other web browser windows leaking/showing up in other windows. Sounds like the browser to me or something like that.

Oh no, today I meant that I have that as my last tab...
…so when I close another tab it goes to that one. I do have a problem with it leaving fragments on other windows, but that’s an issue with the beta of Google Chrome and I’m already having a back-and-forth with Google on the matter. No really, they called me and we talked for about 45 minutes and now they’re sending me some free stuff.

soft spot for the bucs?
how can any niner fan have a soft spot for the bucs? for me, a certain Sapp face-mask penalty prohibits any feeling other than pure hatred towards Sapp and the bucs. they are definitely #3 on my most hated list.
What does everyone think of Nate Byham?
I think he’s gonna bloody some noses.

I am pretty excited about the 2011 schedule....
in that there are TWO games I could actually go to. I live about an hour from Baltimore and around 2 from Philly….I just hope the boys don’t have a Superbowl hangover and get lazy after winning the big one, I really want it to be worth it to go :)
