So now it's official: Jay Cutler won't be playing on Sunday, and instead we get to see Jason Campbell. I think, for a lot of reasons, this is not beneficial for our San Francisco 49ers, but I will cover this in another post a bit later today. I guess the big news other than that still revolves around Jim Harbaugh and his irregular heartbeat, though I haven't read up on it very much.

It's a bit old, but I'm really getting sick of all the Brandon Jacobs stuff. Even if he says that Tweet wasn't about "his" boss, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that he's all kinds of unhappy. Personally, I think it comes with the territory. He knew what the situation was coming into San Francisco and Kendall Hunter is simply better. Jacobs isn't going to see the field any time soon unless a dramatic change of gameplan comes.

He'll just have to deal with that. Onto the linkage, children!
