Good morning, folks. Thanks to Fooch for getting the Nuggets for me yesterday. I was extremely disappointed in Ray McDonald when I saw the headlines and I wasn't planning on mentioning him at all, really. I tend to not want to write about a guy when he's making stupid mistakes, but it looks like most of what's going down recently is a misunderstanding. What they've got, it seems, is a failure to communicate. Anyway, of particular note with the 49ers is the talk of big-name free agents, and now a couple different people suggesting that Carlos Rogers might be hard to retain and, more than that, the 49ers might be more concerned with Dashon Goldson. That sucks. That sucks really bad. Onto the quick links.
