Good morning, folks. There was a little glitch in the Nuggets yesterday, be it due to SB Nation or my own slip of the mind, but we're back to full-strength today. Oddly enough, I've given little thought to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions ... it seems most of my focus is on wide receiver Joshua Morgan and his injury, I suppose he meant more to this team (and apparently my own fandom) than I previously figured. Losing him for the season is a rough proposition. I suppose I'll have to get over it though, and concentrate on now (though I do fully expect us to extend him beyond this season). Onto the linkage, chillldren!
