Morning, Niner fans. Ninjames here, starting a bit earlier so I can do my due diligence today and get you all the relevant links. Yesterday there was a bit of a dry spell, not really anything to link you to but today I have at least a couple more than one or two. Still, the sentiments I expressed yesterday are the same today: being that I'm not as confident now as I was a few weeks ago in this team. I'm just scared that this kind of shakeup went down, and that makes me think of all the other teams in the league that have these kinds of issues.. the Raiders.. the Browns... just not good company to be in, you understand? Still, I'd like to say I have faith, I'm hoping in the coming days and weeks the front office opens their mouths and tells us what's going on straightforward. Then again, there's a better chance I'll be elected president next week (vote for Ninjames). So yeah, here's some links.
Well, this article does clear up a bit about why the 49ers are keeping quiet about all this. I understand a bit more now, though that doesn't mean I'm magically full of faith and good feelings about the current state of the front office. (SacBee.com)
