As we keep pumping out the links through the offseason, as James mentioned yesterday, there will be days where links are far and few between. That really is more of an issue when we hit the summer thanks to the NFL becoming basically a 10-11 month long sport. Once the Super Bowl wraps up, we've got draft season leading up to the combine at the end of February, free agency in March, and then more draft talk through the end of April. As things do slow down, it'd be nice to expand the Nuggets a bit. We hit primarily the Bay Area media, but does anybody have sites they check out that get them some interesting 49ers info to which we're not linking? We're always on the lookout for new sources.
On a side note, anybody else already sick of Super Bowl coverage? Tre will have his take on how the end of the 49ers season might be impacting all this, but for now, I'm sick of it without actually watching much of it. Aside from ESPN or NFLN being on in bars, I have not actually watched either channel since before the 49ers-Giants game. Seeing it all on twitter is driving me crazy. It really is. I'm going to a friend's place for the game on Sunday, but other than that, the Super Bowl is dead to me for this week. Well, maybe not dead since I'll complain about it here and there, but it's definitely not on my good side.

My sentiments exactly!
This is the first Super Bowl since I started watching football back in ‘94 that I’m really not excited about. I truly believe that the better team is not in it (Giants) yet after the Championship game nobody talks about it. All the media spewed out was about how the Niners offense is sooo limited and how Eli Manning won the game. Anyone who saw the game and actually payed attention, should have noticed the conservative nature of the play calling due to the lead and weather conditions. The offense did just enough to win and the defense only truly gave up 10 points. The rest was just unfortunate and don’t want to get into that again. Kyle W will bounce back and the coaching staff will learn to keep an eye out for struggling players in big games.
Like another poster said some time ago, the NFL got the Super Bowl it wanted. It all feels somewhat made up (pre determined) but I have hope that the Niners will be Champions again soon.

a little off topic but......
I just read on walterfootball.com that it looks like the niners wont be able to resign Carlos rogers. Wtf?? did i miss something here?? anybody know anything about why walt wrote this?? is this just pure speculation from a guy that doesn’t know the niners will have around 60 mill of cap space?
He doesn't know anything
And you can’t go off topic in the nuggets

going off topic
Sarcasm doesn’t translate well on the Internet. Yes, you can go off-topic.

hmmm
Pretty much speculation on his part.

It has to be there is no evidence stating otherwise.

Am I getting old
Or is sports “journalism” becoming more and more like middle school rumors? I read SO much stuff where the writer is like “one possible source said the earth was flat ______”
It’s getting to the point where Florio looks comparatively credible.
As to WR’s, I want us to draft somebody, and of the FA’s, maybe Meachem makes the most sense? Everyone else on this list is either over-rated, overpriced, or, like Jerome Simpson, may not be worth the complications of their current situation.

sports journalism
I guess it depends on what you define as “journalism.” Am I considered a journalist?
by David Fucillo on Feb 1, 2012 9:39 AM PST up reply actions
Fair point
Dunno. You ARE, however, considered a reasonable and reliable source.
I guess one of the problems with sports journalism is that it’s become VERY open to amateurs and charlatans (my grandmother is impressed that I used that word), and as such, sports blogs are available to anyone with a computer and too much time on their hands.
The thing is, it’s ok to be utterly biased on here, it’s a fan site. But, the 24 hour ESPN programming has led to some very questionable titles of “journalist” being bestowed, and it’s far more about headline generation/media narratives/generating-page-hits than it is about accurate reporting…
I’m gonna go take my geritol, and change my depends…

Keep in mind
Their goal is not to report truth. Their goal is to generate hype. Nothing sells hype more than unfounded, controversial fluff that no one will ever be able to actually validate or disprove. Throw in a Tebow reference… viola… a million billion hits!
I agree with that
It just seems like there are a LOT fewer actual sports writers than there were 10 or even 5 years ago, and a lot of loudmouths making ridiculous arguments just because they want people to pay attention to them…
