Jen brought me crepes in bed this morning. I was so surprised! I love birthdays. And roommates!

As happy as I am that the 49ers finally fired Dennis Erickson and Terry Donahue, I'm not sure I would have picked Mike Nolan. I mean, the guy has been a Defensive Coordinator for four teams in 12 years, and I don't think any of them has gone all the way in that time. And he's never been tapped as a head coach before.
