The NFL Salary Cap: My, How Far We've Come
I'm working on a writing project about some former 49ers, including Ricky Watters, and I've come across some interesting information that I thought was worth a brief share on this random Monday afternoon.

49ers Year-by-Year: 1995
After two weeks off for a variety of reasons (most of which involved needing to devote my time to studying for my first test in more than two years), the Year-by-Year makes a triumphant return. 1995 was one of those awesome, sucky seasons.
