I know that he says nothing happened and all, but I really hate how much trouble Aldon Smith seems to get himself in. One of these days it's going to come back and hurt this team big time, and we'll be without a key piece to our defense. Aside from that, there's not much going in 49erland I care to talk about. Running back Brandon Jacobs continues with his "feel bad for me campaign," by Tweeting that he's not good enough to play, which we already knew. So there's that.

Anyway, doing the Nuggets early again tonight, and am in a hurry. If you come across a link that I happened to miss, please post it here for your fellow readers and such. And tomorrow, we can all watch some terrible football because the 49ers won't be playing. Enjoy.
