Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Golden Nuggets: Where Kyle Williams Is Our Future

Morning, good readers of Niners Nation. Yesterday, some comments in the Nuggets drew attention to the fact that there's been laugh of my witty awesomeness over the last few weeks, and I noted that was due to the fact that reader interaction was down, at least in these pieces. I've passed up opportunity to extol the virtues of the ways of NaVorro Bowman, continue my personal vendetta against the Ryan brothers and keep my vigilant post at the forefront of the "Kevin Kolb Blows!" public service announcement program. But if you folks want more of the good stuff, I'll work on including some more spicy goodness in the Nuggets. Enjoy, chillldren!

Naturally, Kevin Kolb says that the 49ers had interest in him this offseason. Maybe he read my cause championing against trading for him. Either way, he's getting paid way too much and, yes, he does in fact, blow. Problem, Bleeding Green Nation? (Examiner.com)

The Packers give me the willies. Seriously, Aaron Rodgers is just too good at this point. Too good for what? I'm not entirely sure, but there is a team that scares me more under certain circumstance.s The 49ers seriously need to avoid taking on New Orleans Saints at the Superdome. (SB Nation Bay Area)

Braylon Edwards says he's not missing anymore games, but if he plays like he did during the game against the Baltimore Ravens - be it due to injury or not - I want him on the bench. He needs to be 100% if he's coming back into the lineup, regardless. (Examiner.com)

Star-divide

Maiocco is of the opinion that it's incredibly difficult to imagine quarterback Alex Smith anywhere else next season. Which, to me, means it's the perfect opportunity for the NFL to exhibit it's lulz and wtf-ness by having Smith sign a huge multi-year deal with, say, the Miami Dolphins. Call it Stephen Ross' retribution after losing the Jim Harbaugh sweepstakes. (CSNBayArea.com)

Patrick Willis is still sidelined, something that's only significant because I hope he's not out for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He doesn't need to play on Sunday against Arizona, lest I riot. (CSNBayArea.com)

Grant Cohn got to asking Alex Smith about deep throws, and his inability to make them on the sideline, something he and I spoke about and agreed upon up in the press box during the game. Smith just couldn't hit the throws on the sidelines, but looked great over the middle. (PressDemocrat.com)

I truly hope Brian Jennings never retires. I want him snapping footballs until old age takes his ability to do the stance any longer - and by that, I mean I hope old age doesn't take the stance until he's about eighty or so. I did forget that he was a part of this team the last time it went to the playoffs. That's wild. (SacBee.com)

Here's a good piece from Barrows regarding wide receiver Kyle Williams and where he gets his jets from. (SacBee.com)

The signing of Scott Tolzien was a good one, in my mind. I like what I saw from him in the preseason and would like to see more next year. Not much else I can say about him, other than link this piece from Maiocco that talks about T.J. Yates, one of my sleepers and a guy I believe will succeed in Houston, and how he is suddenly a starting quarterback. (CSNBayArea.com)

Andy Lee is a certified badass. That is all, really. (SFGate.com)

This is great

The niners back in the playoffs, James’ witticisms back on the nuggets, it’s like all balance is returning to the world.

Now if only you can see fit to sort out the economic crisis and end all war in your spare time we really can start to call you the chosen one…

i dont think there's any danger of us playing in the Superdome in the playoffs

we would really have to suck it up for the rest of the regular season for that to happen. if we cant win the rest of our division games then we have no business being in the playoffs. even if we blow one and lose to the steelers we still own the tiebreaker over the Saints.

The game vs. Seattle is not a no-brainer.

The Seahawks always plays the 49ers tough, especially in Seattle. Their running game is much improved, so I expect that game to be a real battle.

So far, 2011 has been Harbaugh-some!

It is hard to remember

But the Cards are 4-1 recently where the 1 was US. But now they have their shinny new toy back from the shop to go with their shiny old toy. That game is not going to be a gimme either. We need to play UP and not down.

by Da Bum on Dec 8, 2011 7:12 AM PST up reply actions  

Don't get ahead of yourself....

Saints are very likely to win out this year meaning we can only drop one game. We need to play hard for the rest of the year; including during January.

James, you have returned to excellent form that got me into this site in the first place. Well done and, please, keep it up!

Tj Yates could be staying for awhile in Texans

If he can continue to succeed like this as a rookie starter for the injured schaub, saw some of his passes last week and i gotta say it he’s got potential.

Agreed.

Eleanor Rigby - "Greatest Song" or "The Greatest Song"?

Dobbs is some kind of Young/Smith/Roosevelt hybrid, and will absolutely ruin the NFL experience for the other 31 teams and their few fans.

Nobody has been able to do racial comedy (at least in show format) like he did. I always felt like Mind of Mencia was an affront to Dave. Like a big ol’ [site decorum] you that made him never want to come back.

Skip Bayless just called Harbaugh the Tim Tebow of coaches...

Ugh, seriously?

I don’t think I understand what exactly “the Time Tebow” of coaches is supposed to mean, but somehow I’m still annoyed.

Win or lose, at the end of the day I'm just happy to see the Niners play well... Okay, winning is good. I prefer winning.

Here's another news tidbit -- Alex Boone's gonna have another four years

Not an official team announcement yet, just an article on NFL.com that says the paperwork’s been filed.
