Good morning folks, Ninjames here back with your Golden Nuggets after a couple days "off." In reality, there's been an awful lot going on with my living situation and internet connectivity, but I'm back and ready to get you good folks your news - and just in time to get my credential for Sunday as well, so I'll be reporting live again. I'll also be expecting Sam Lam to deliver unto me carrot cake, in exchange for linking him highly in the Nuggets.
In reality, his content is good, and that's why it's at the top - but if I can extort some carrot cake (or really any delicious consumable), I'll be sure to do it. I'll probably swing a lemonade out of him as well, there's no point in making a deal if you're not going to sleaze your way into getting more. Anyway, onto the 49ers links for the day, folks.
