Good morning, folks. I hope your Christmas was a good one, and if you happen to be celebrating one of those holidays that are still going on, then Happy Whatever to you, too! That being said, it's time to pick up speed again here at Niners Nation. The Green Bay Packers won last night and that means the 49ers can't get the No. 1 seed. Instead, we'll all be rooting for the Atlanta Falcons tonight so we don't have to worry about a trap game against the St. Louis Rams in Week 17, yeah? Anyway, onto the linkage for the day, though it's just quick links again while I recover from sickness. Enjoy!
