Morning, blogslaves. As Fooch announced yesterday, I am your new leader at least for a week. I require payment in the form of delicious food and drink. I expect you to deliver them unto me in a prompt manner. I would also officially like to announce that LondonNiner has been excommunicated from Niners Nation for getting to meet Mike Singletary before I have. If you see him, I demand that you bombard him with toothpaste and dental floss. Beyond that, how's it going Niner fans? :] As far as links go, I don't think I have much for you today, but we had a full day yesterday and should have one today as well, so be sure you catch up on everything and read Danny's stat post yesterday. Anyway, enjoy the links I have for you folks.

Kevin Lynch of the Chronicle takes a quick look at the 49ers safety situation. I'm pretty happy with it, I think right now some folks overrate Dashon Goldson but for the most part I think they're really solid. Lewis is and should be the starter to begin the season. (SFGate.com)
