So yesterday, I got approved for my credential for this weekend's game against the Arizona Cardinals. I've been up in the pressbox for most of the games this year, and I've been going down to the postgame press conference and the locker room. During the game, I'm probably going to have you folks tweet me anything that occurs to you that you might want asked at the conference or in the locker room. I most certainly can't guarantee that I can get a question asked or that the locker room will even be open, but I figured it would be another good way to utilize the press access. Anyway - on to the links from the day.
