Good morning, folks. Has it sunk in for any of you yet - the fact that the 49ers are in the playoffs? Because it's still got me all kinds of confused. I still can't wrap my mind 'round the fact that the 49ers have the second best record in the NFL. This team is a legitimate playoff team and they will probably host a playoff game. I don't know if I'll be around for that or not, but I'm still incredibly excited. Up next? We get to thank the Cardinals for embarrassing the Cowboys ... by beating them again. Aw yeeeah! Here's some linkage.
