So as I type this I have the championship match between the Vikings and the Falcons on from a few years back, not paying a whole lot of attention to it. I just heard Madden say "You play until.. well.. until someone wins the game, that's overtime." Damned if I'm not sick of the McNabb jokes concerning overtime, but damned if I'm not about to make one. I think this is where McNabb got his information--listening to John Madden. Ok, so it wasn't very good but I'm very tired and I haven't slept yet, give me a break. Anyway, I'm pumped for Sunday, I really need some kind of epic beatdown delivered by the 49ers and I gotta say I hope we do it. I've really nothing against the Rams but I think we need to completely desttroy 'em. That is all.

Five things the 49ers must address to return to respectability. One thing this article brings up is the fullback position. I believe we're fine in that sense, at least for next season. Zak Keasey should be back and I gotta say I believe he'll make a good fullback. He'd never played the position before but I've seen him on the field and I can tell he's a good football player. I'd hate to see him go, and I really hope he gets another chance next season. He's got athletic talent, and with an offseason to truly learn the fullback position, hey we might be set there.

An open letter to Jed York. It brings up some good points, laced with the oh-so-common ignorance of someone who thinks they have all the answers. A good read regardless. (BleacherReport.com)
