So, did you guys happen to watch any football yesterday? Yeah, the NFL is back, big deal, nobody really noticed. Which is, of course, a lie. I watched the Seahawks starters look terrible, and the Cardinals starters look terrible. It was a good day for me. The only time I changed the channel was during ESPN's halftime, once I heard the name "Chris Berman," it was done. I can't handle him. He makes me want to punch nuns and babies. Luckily, we have some soothing and wonderful 49ers football tonight. I am, of course, lying again, because if I know these 49ers, they're going to give me a heart attack in a somewhat useless preseason game. I'm scared. Enjoy the linkage, and we'll be back to full Nuggets pretty soon here.
