Your weekend MVPs: 1) Eric Anderson, 2) Jill Rushin, 3) Angela Randazzo, 4) Alex Clark, 5) TRUMAN THE DAMN TIGER. Though I guess you could put Gary Pinkel in there somewhere as well...
Still waiting for a little more information, I guess, but Niners Nation has a pretty good stream going regarding Aldon Smith's latest, confusing incident. Just waiting for a big, "Never mind, guys! This was all just a big misunderstanding!" press conference from the LAPD. Yep. Just waiting for that.
