Morning folks, Ninjames here. More quick links today, as I don't have time to get the Nuggets out on time if I'm to be providing commentary, but you can live with it. Things are slowing down in free agency and the 49ers still remain inactive, which is slightly worrying, but I do know why they're being how they are. Jim Harbaugh and the new regime don't want to get into bed with a big free agent and be on the hook in case it all comes crashing down and they're out a job because of one guy. I can respect that ... but I want to be good, sooner rather than later. They definitely need to sign a couple guys. Plaxico Burress would be a good start, if he's in shape.
