It's Valentines Day, a holiday where tons of couples renew their interests in one another and find an excuse to do the nasty (sad, really ... you should never need an excuse to tell someone you love them and get freaky) and at least triple that number of people sit and weep in their loneliness. Others forget the "holiday" altogether, which I do a lot, even when I'm in a happy and healthy relationship. In regards to the San Francisco 49ers, there's not much today as the offseason goes along at a snail's pace, so I'll go ahead and mention the girlie, whom I talk about an awful lot in the Nuggets but haven't done so in awhile, but I'm gonna be sappy for a moment and say that I love her very, very much. Ridiculous amounts. Now back to football, eh? Let's get to the quick linkage for the day.
