Good morning folks. Thanks to Fooch for covering the Nuggets yesterday, as we had some network issues and I had to get to sleep early. Today, the 49ers play the Bengals - if you hadn't yet heard - and I'm feeling extremely confident about the game. I felt that they'd do badly against the Cowboys, and was wrong then, but let's all hope I'm wrong now when I assume that we're going to beat Cincinnati pretty handily, yes? Not sure what links Fooch posted yesterday, so apologies for any repeats ... beyond that, let's just to the linkage. Enjoy, chillldren.
