Golden Nuggets: Where Good Hygiene Is Optional

by James Brady on Jan 12, 2012 2:00 AM PST in 49ers Links

So yesterday, I wrote this long piece about how busy I've been and how I was back to putting together full iterations of the Golden Nuggets for you, the sexiest readers on SB Nation (don't feel too good about that - as a network we're pretty lax on the whole 'hygiene' front), and then of course, my internet went out on me and my entire article got all Ben Roethlisberger'd. So I had Fooch handle the Nuggets again, and now I'm back. Unfortunately, just quick links for the day as I do think sleep is required at some point. Onto the links and, as always, go Niners.

IM SO ECXITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!

It’s 5 in the morning and I’m reading anything NINER. I couldn’t sleep, was tossing and turning all night and morning. I’m pumping myself up with almost everything Niners and aints. It got to the point that my girl felt I wasn’t giving her enough attention and umm…. I forgot the second part LOL oops. Anywho… I made sweet passionate love to her and then proceeded to read more NINER info LOL hey I gave her some attention we could both enjoy. So here I am up in the morning excited because in taking my cast off today, It’s my brothers birthday tomorrow (he’s a Denver fan) and then come Saturday It’s time for the 49ERS & Faithful fans to let it all loose. Because just like Justin Smith and the rest of the Niners, I’m getting antsy and so is my girlfriend LOL ( I guess a Denver win would be cool too, I wanna see my brother happy too. LET’S GO NINERS!!!!!! (Take his fracking head off! Gotta take thank Wes for that one lol)

I am emailing 49ers.com right now with my complaint and asking that they get some actual Niner fans to start running the place.

That Steve Young inteview

and the one with Aldon Smith and RJF are both fantastic. This statement about Harbuagh (made by Steve Young) is so true:

"Jim is over-competitive. Jim will race you to the car door. He’ll race you to see how can eat the pizza faster. He’s competitive to the point where you say to yourself, ‘Pick your spots.’

"That answers your own question. There is nothing – whether it’s Jim Schwartz yelling across the field, ‘Know the rules, Harbaugh!’ Well, he’ll never forget that. The hug and everything that happened at midfield – that’s just the beginning. Jim will never forget that. And if he ever plays the Lions again it will be to his death if he doesn’t beat them. That’s who Jim is. There’s no question in my mind that Jim will remember any slight."

This is why I’ve been of the opinion that the backslap at midfield of the Lions game was planned and very deliberately done to snub Schwartz and that at any future meetings he’ll barely say a word to Schwartz.
