San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh is already in the mood for Thanksgiving. He had turkey on the brain following a dominating 24-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night, but it had more to do with his quarterback carving up a defense than someone carving a bird.

It was a near record setting performance by Alex Smith on Monday Night Football, following a 24-3 victory for his San Francisco 49ers against the Arizona Cardinals.

Frank Gore stopped by the gym to check out boxing sensation Nonito Donaire AKA The Filipino Flash. If you haven’t seen this guy fight you are doing a disservice to yourself. Donaire is one of the best P4P fighters in the world, but gets overshadowed by another Filipino fighter most people are familiar with.
