Good morning! I'm here to cover the daily links for James and Aaron today. We won't have the in depth detail, or the nice organizational structure. Instead, I present the Nuggets in their rawest of forms! Heck, they're not even in much of a particular order. Well, BASG and Christian Gin get the top spots, but after that it's every which way.
At this point, getting to Sunday's NFC Championship Game is a matter of steps. We're in a bit of a dead zone today. Wednesday means the first practice participation report, and the start of press conferences for the week. That gets us through Friday. This Saturday will be a tough one to get through. We've got the East-West Shrine Game and the NFLPA Collegiate Game on Saturday, but we're not exactly focused on the Draft at this point. We've got Nick and Trevor prepping us, but the focus is on Sunday's conference championship game. The 49ers are sooooooo close to getting a shot at the brass ring. We just need to get to Sunday.
On to the links! Given how busy things are now, I know we'll miss some national content, and even probably some local content. Drop links in the comments as you see them.
