This is the part of the introduction in which I talk about Aldon Smith. So here it goes, Aldon Smith, Aldon Smith, and Aldon Smith. Also, Aldon and Smith. Aldon. Smith.

I don't care if it's gibberish or nonsense, but everybody should talk about Aldon Smith. I do in the power rankings video. I will to my grandmother. I will to my pet cat. The man is a beast, and last night's performance should be the talk of the town. Colin Kaepernick will obviously get a huge chunk of 49ers-related discussion, and rightly so. He had a great game. But I really don't want that to be at the expense of Aldon. A historic game for a player who should win all sorts of awards.
