Golden Nuggets: Stay Classy, 49ers Fans

by James Brady on Jun 9, 2011 2:00 AM PDT in 49ers Links

Morning, folks. Right off the bat, I'm going to go ahead and link you to the ongoing match in the NN NFL Tournament of Badness. This is my favorite match of the opening round and it needs plenty of votes to do it justice. I also noticed that the good folks over at Music City Miracles found out about this post, and to them, I say "thanks," for, at least at the time of writing this, having not come over here whining like little children as past blogs have. It's a fun contest and we can't be expected to like every player ever. They've a good blog over there ant the Titans are alright by me. That being said, I will not let up on my undying hatred (not really hatred, but you get me) for Cortland Finnegan. I dislike him as much as I think Kevin Kolb blows. Let's get to your linkage, chillldren!

This is a great piece that Fooch talked about yesterday regarding Ronald Johnson and his football. (PressDemocrat.com)

I'm sure you heard about this and that it was already linked, but Michael Crabtree sat out of workouts with a sore foot. I'm not even going to touch this one. (PressDemocrat.com)

The 49ers aren't likely to pursue Plaxico Burress. I'm not sure that this is either a good thing or a bad thing, I'm pretty neutral on it. I am of the opinion that the 49ers could use a veteran wide receiver, but I'm also not sure if Burress will have anything to offer when it's all said and done. (Scout.com)

Adam Snyder is trying his hand at center, a position I think he would have been very, very good at if he played it from the beginning. Can he pick it up? Probably. Also, David Baas is a gigantic monster. (SacBee.com)

Anthony Dixon is hoping to excel under Jim Harbaugh. I really am a huge fan of Dixon, it hasn't quite entered Thomas Clayton levels of obsession, but I like the guy. Unfortunately, Kendall Hunter will probably make him pretty expendable. (MercuryNews.com)

Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree need eachother. Personally, I wouldn't want to need either of those guys for one reason or another. (CSNBayArea.com)

"Should he stay or should he go? David Baas" ... Dumb question. (Scout.com)

You could – and maybe we should – build a whole Tournament of Badness around music, and in particular, stupid song lyrics. You reference, above, a song which has the stupidest lyric ever – The Clash’s ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go?’

Don’t get me wrong – big fan of The Clash. “London Calling” is starting to get on my nerves a little as it’s getting played a lot here ahead of the Olympics next year, but it’s still a brilliant tune. But “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” sets my teeth on edge and here’s why …

“If I go there will be trouble, and if I stay it will be double”. So the answer is, you go, doofus! You have just written a song outlining your heartfelt conundrum about whether to stay or to go, and you have wasted the time of millions of people inflicting this personal conflict upon them, and yet, by your own admission, YOU WILL BE IN PRECISELY TWICE AS MUCH TROUBLE IF YOU STAY, AND HALF AS MUCH TROUBLE IF YOU GO. YOU COULD LITERALLY HALVE YOUR PROBLEMS AT ONE STROKE BY TAKING ONE OF THE OPTIONS YOU, YOURSELF, SUGGEST IS OPEN TO YOU. WHY, THEREFORE, ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME DISCUSSING THE ISSUE? JUST GO!

Sorry for the caps. Jeez, that’s a stupid lyric.

Stupid lyric maybe, but great opening guitar riff…

What's worse is The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry"

What’s with your English tunes out there?

Another British Blunder in the music industry was Adele’s “Chasing Pavement”. What the hell does that mean?

Fortunately enough, she followed it up nicely with “Rolling in the Deep.” Actually no…. That title doesn’t make much sense either.

I genuinely thought that lyric, first time I heard it, was Chasing Payments. I thought it was something to do with debt collection.

Some people like trouble.

And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it. ... Always a ninja

My favorite

Seven a.m., waking up in the morning
Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs
Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal
Seein’ everything, the time is goin’
Tickin’ on and on, everybody’s rushin’
Gotta get down to the bus stop
Gotta catch my bus, I see my friends (My friends)

Kickin’ in the front seat
Sittin’ in the back seat
Gotta make my mind up
Which seat can I take?

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend
