HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

We here at the J-Rod and Da Man show want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. While you and your loved ones are stuffing your faces with turkey and mash potaters, please take a moment to remember how this all so wonderful holiday came about.

Remember to be grateful to all the American Indians that were slaughtered for us to celebrate this joyous holiday. If it wasn't for them being here first and trying to keep their land, this day wouldn't have been possible. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!

From Bleacher Report.com: "San Francisco 49ers Yet To Prove Themselves"

The San Francisco 49ers (8-1) took yet another step towards the NFL's best when they defeated the New York Giants (6-3) in their biggest test this season.
Even without Frank Gore, the 49ers managed to pull away a win from the Giants who have made their mark this season with late-game scores, and San Francisco was a Justin Smith batted ball away from possibly falling into that same category.

It was the biggest win of the season for the 49ers, who also have wins against the Lions and Eagles to add to their big win against New York on Sunday.
However, many are not convinced this team is legitimate, as was plain to see watching the numerous Monday-morning quarterback shows on television.
Why is San Francisco not the overwhelming favorite as the No. 2 team in the NFL?

The Bears have something to do with that after dominating the Lions on Sunday. Even the 49ers' remaining schedule can take some credit. And that may be the problem or the only thing stopping Harbaugh and the 49ers from being called the game's elite.

Unproven.

So far, San Francisco's signature wins have come against the Eagles, Lions and Giants, but it was the recent developments that have many second guessing just how signature these wins are.

The Bears beat down the Lions after the 49ers just scathed by in Week 6, the Eagles lost to the Cardinals and fell to 3-6 and the Giants were on the road without their starting running back.

It's going to take a lot to have the Monday-morning quarterbacks across the country call this team a legit contender. Maybe, just maybe, the rest of the 49ers' schedule will prove that.

But how really proven is this team from San Francisco?

The references three paragraphs up are on the table and even their narrow victories against the Browns, Bengals and Redskins seem to portray a team just getting by with a serviceable quarterback and gritty defense.

In the end, it will be key matchups with the AFC's elite that ultimately shows us what kind of a team this really is and what kind of respect they will get Monday morning.

Thanksgiving Day is the first step on the road against the Baltimore Ravens who will be a playoff team and will attempt to have a field day with their relentless defense. The second and last step comes at home against the Steelers on December 19. A statement game if there ever was one.

Until then, we can expect the Monday-morning quarterback to talk all about how this team cannot possibly be the second-best team in the NFL, even though their record stands far and above the next best competition. A first-year head coach plays into that analyst's opinion, as does Alex Smith under center.

There is zero chance they will give any consideration to a team with Smith at the helm. However, they may miss the key fact that Harbaugh is pulling the strings; Harbaugh is making Smith look good and Harbaugh is in control.

Without that thinking, the 49ers are a surprise team making moves deep into the playoffs. But this team has been here all along. They just didn't get the credit for it.

Pacquiao - Marquez Wrap up

I know this blog is a tad late but here it is. So while I was watching HBO's PPV extravaganza I realized they jacked up the price to $60 on Fidos. I remember when it was $50 on standard and $60 for HD. Now its $60 on standard??? Maybe I should check my cable bill more often but I digress. Now the fight to wrap up the trilogy was actually boring. It was no where near the excitement level of Pac - Marquez 1 and 2. There were little explosive moments (if any). Manny fought a very defensive fight. Many times during the fight he seemed flat out frustrated. Marquez fought most of the fight going backwards and countering when the opportunity presented itself. If there was anything impressive about the fight it was Manny's footwork. How easily and quickly he could move out of harms way after tagging Marquez with a punch. But I think that's what made the fight so boring. There weren't any toe to toe long action sequences we have grown accustomed to by these two fighter. It was I tag you... you tag me back... now lets just move around the ring. Going into this fight I was sure that there was no way Floyd Mayweather could beat Manny. I think Floyd didn't think he could beat Manny. I no longer feel that way as I sure Money doesn't either.

Mayweather is the best defensive boxer in the world. He maybe the best defensive boxer of all time. He just doesn't allow himself to get hit which of course makes for a boring fight. He covers up, defends and counters, a style that Manny Pacquiao hates.Floyd is faster, stronger and more elusive than Marquez. If Manny found it difficult to get anything going offensively against Marquez (as much as I hate to say it) he will find it completely impossible against Floyd.

As Jim Lampley said after the fight, the only true winner of the night was Floyd Mayweather who is now officially the best pound for pound fighter in the world. I don't see Floyd ducking Manny anymore. Whatever doubts he may have had are surely washed away. Floyd will fight Manny next year in what will be the biggest cash cow in pro boxing history. A fight that I thought would never happen and if it did, one that Manny would win. I don't see that happening anymore. The only way Manny beats Floyd is if the fight becomes an all out war which we all know Floyd won't let happen. Floyd has never lost his composure in the ring (excluding the Ortiz fight). He doesn't let a fighter rattle him. He sticks to the game plan and just wins. It makes for boring fights but he doesn't care as long as he gets the W. Manny will have to do something that no fighter has been able to do, get through Floyd's defense. The style he used against Marquez has no chance against Floyd. This is all speculation as we dont know if this fight will even happen. In my opinion it will.
