Good morning everyone. I'm fresh off a pretty great day for the first time in awhile, and I'm feeling good. I'm feeling kind of bad because of the whole Ahmad Brooks situation. I don't want him to miss any time, he's one of our most promising players right now. But the Jerry Rice stuff yesterday was a great thing. I wasn't too big on the whole ceremony or anything in particular that was said but it's a huge honor and it feels good to be a 49ers fan right now. I'm seriously bothered by all of the injuries in camp though. We can't do well this year if everyone is banged up, and I seriously don't want to be making the "everyone is injured..." excuse if we lose some games. Just don't want it to happen. Anyway, enjoy the links. Might be a little bit late
