Hey folks, really running low on time with all the other writing that I'm doing ... it's 2:30 and I need to just get to the links, so I'm going to keep this brief and my descriptions of the links will also be brief, if I even include any. All I really have to say at the beginning of this is that people who speak out of ignorance are absolutely hilarious. I'm talking about Roddy White tweeting about Alex Smith, without knowing anything about the situation at all. I've got a post on that at SB Nation Bay Area about three hours after this will go up. Anyway, here's your links.
