Good morning everyone. Had another relatively slow day, which I guess, as I pointed out previously, is a good thing. I don't like big news days anymore, because they never go right for the 49ers, as we all know to one extent or another. We did have a little practice scuffle though, involving a one guy who's totally hardcore and another who doesn't seem ... quite as hardcore. Either way, that was the only significant piece of news yesterday outside of some vague words from Mike Singletary, as we've all become accustomed to and an injury report. I think it's pretty comical actually that Sing can say so many words, and essentially not be saying anything at all, do you know what I mean? Anyway ... I suppose I should get to your links. Enjoy, folks.
