Good morning, folks. Like yesterday, I'm getting the Nuggets done a bit early. At the time of writing, Alex Smith looks like he's had positive talks with the Dolphins, but still considers the 49ers to be his destination, depending on what happens with Peyton Manning. I guess that's pretty cool. Regardless of how this stuff plays out ... what with hurt feelings and things of that nature ... one thing seems really odd to me: the proposition of seeing Alex Smith in a different NFL uniform. I never thought I'd see the day. It's just a very weird feeling. Let's get onto the linkage for the day, folks. Post any in the comments that I may have missed and do note that this may be the thread. Unless it happened already. OR didn't happen. Or something.
