Good morning ladies and gents. We're not a day away from the beginning of the 2013-14 season proper, Peyton Manning absolutely demolishing the Baltimore Ravens secondary notwithstanding. Our San Francisco 49ers will take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, kicking off the last season at Candlestick Park and kicking off Jim Harbaugh's third attempt at a Super Bowl bid.

If you haven't yet, please check out the preview posted here yesterday, because it's excellent. Get yourself in the mood for football. I'm getting myself in the mood for football by playing Madden and listening to a history podcast on Mongolian battle tactics and Genghis Khan.

Because that's how I roll. Anyway, we're going to jump right into your links. Enjoy, and go Niners!
