Hey everyone, welcome to today's edition of the Golden Nuggets. Oddly enough, I haven't thought about football at all today. I know, that sounds bad but I'm just anticipating UFC 104 too much. Still, I'm doing my reading for the day at well... the same time you are. Usually when I do the Nuggets I've already read everything I'm going to be posting but not tonight. I figure I've got a lot more about WR Crabtree and a couple more previews seeing as how the game is two days away. In fact, it looks like the majority of what I've got for you today is based around Crabtree. I gotta say, I have no idea what to expect from him on Sunday but I hope it's good, I really do.
