Good morning folks, man I am pumped! Today had better be a good day. Last night my favorite fighter won at UFC 103, one of my favorite players took the US Open just a few days ago and man, it'd be great if the 49ers spanked the Seahawks in the home opener. Yes, I said spanked, big deal, wanna fight about it? Anyway, It'd be a shame if we lost, not necessarily a lost season but it sure would be nice to have step up on the whole division, no? I also like how yesterday I called our running game abysmal and somebody gave me a remark about having no faith, which irked me just enough for me to not respond to it. Really, after last week can anyone claim it isn't? I didn't say it'd be bad against the 'Hawks, ya know. I think somebody is taking my sarcasm a bit too seriously. But anyway--I may as well just get to your links for the day. So here it goes
