Golden Nuggets: A full day of football, minus the 49ers

Good morning everyone, football is back! I'm going to keep saying that until the San Francisco 49ers have actually played a game, so of course their first game is the last one played of the week. I'm pretty excited for today though -- there's a lot of interesting stuff to pay attention to, I'm particularly interested to see if the Tennessee Titans vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers match is a complete dumpster fire with Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston starting.

We've gone over and over the 49ers' offseason and you don't need me to do it again, but it's no secret that I've reached the "write about it off-hand and joke about it" phase and that's actually a healthy one. I'd like to note that if you see me say something negative about Jed York or the 49ers at this stage and it isn't an actual critical, analytical article, you can just assume I'm kidding.

Anyway, again I'd like to note that going forward we're going to make links not open in a new window by default. That's a thing some people care about, and for all two of you, there's your notice. Let's watch some good football tonight, and GO NINERS! Onto your links for the day.
