Good morning everyone, Ninjames here. I'm in a slight hurry so I'm going to keep my introduction as well as my commentary brief. No snarky comments from any of you about how it must be soooo great that you won't be hearing much from me or I will.. well... I mean, I probably won't ban you, but I will write nasty things about you in the Nuggets tomorrow, and if we know anything, it's that e-cred is more important than anything else on the planet, including snarky comments. Anyway, I think I used the word "snarky" enough to attract London Niner into the thread.. not sure why I wanted to, but I think I did a pretty good job of stalling and wrapping this here text around the picture on the right, no? Enjoy the 49ers links, folks!
