Good morning folks, Ninjames here with your Nuggets. Slightly change to your regularly scheduled programming, the podcast will not be today, but we're looking to have one in the morning before the game. You know, talk a little bit about it and the like, so be around for that. We're a day away from gameday, and my soul is basically aching for Candlestick right now. I'll be at the game, as I'll be at all of the home games, so I can't wait. To make matters worse, I'm watching BBQ Pitmasters, which is a deceptively good show, and it's making me want to get out there and tailgate asap. Last year was the first year I actually had season tickets, and I was a rookie. This year, I'll be going all out with my cooking and I may or may not invite some of you along, if you happen to be going. Anyway, enjoy the links.
Mike Singletary is looking forward to seeing LB NaVorro Bowman in action. I am too, I've gushed over this pick for awhile now, I can't wait to see just how NFL ready he may or may not be. (SacBee.com)
Maiocco has notes on the practices from yesterday. I love how fool-proof it is; all numbered and what not. (CSNBayArea.com)
So it Favre appears Favre will Favre be playing Favre on Favre Favre Sunday against Favre the 49ers Favre. (Favre)
I'm noticeably less excited about the Travis LaBoy signing at this point. I was pretty happy with it at the time but I wonder if he'll ever be up to full health again. He's still trying to catch on. (PressDemocrat.com)

Here is Maiocco's latest chat transcript, something else i generally don't read, for one reason or another. (CSNBayArea.com)
I'm not a fan of naming backfields like this. I mean, Frank and Beans was pretty darn fun, I'll give you that much, but I vastly prefer individual nicknames over anything else. (SacBee.com)
Got a dirty job? Zeigler's your man. If he's not available, I hear Mike Rowe is pretty into doing literally everything there is to do these days - which is awesome - but yeah, sweet article on Ziggy. (SFGate.com)
CB Nate Clements is struggling to regain lockdown form. I'm actually not entirely sure he ever had the lockdown form, but he has definitely slipped in recent seasons and it would be nice for Nate to return to the form that made him one of the better cornerbacks in the league, at the very least. (MercuryNews.com)
Sando takes a quick look at the NFC West's weekend games. (ESPN.com)
Reggie Smith is a more confident player, and that makes me happy. I like to see him do good. My brother has always been pretty stoked about Smith, but I never saw it that much. I kind of figured he would be done, but he's come on strong lately. Good stuff. (MercuryNews.com)
I would love it if Nate Davis could get some playing time against the Vikings starters. I really do flip-flop as far as Davis goes. On one end he has so much potential, such a great arm and fantastic instincts. But then when you look at it, he's just so raw. (PressDemocrat.com)
Glen Coffee's retirement, while being ill-times and way unexpected, is still an inspiring story. (SFGate.com)

Niners Nation Group Game
Whatever happened to buying tickets to a game as a group, complete with pre-game Niners Nation tailgate?

the Healdline...
“Favre, Favre… Favre? Haha, Favre! Faaaavre!”
and
“Hey Beanie, I’ve got some dirt on my shoulder… could you brush it off for me?”
all i can say is
“Like a running back, get it man, I’m straight off the block
I can run it back -— cause I’m straight with the Roc.”
We will own the Cardinals this year. They can’t stop us.

Ninjames,
Did you play linebacker in HS or something?
It seems that you have a mancrush on a lot of LB’s (with the obvious exception of Ziegler)
nah
a palm-reader told him once that he’d marry a linebacker…
Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Tedd Ginn/Delanie Walker, Frank Gore, Brian Westbrook...which one is getting the ball and where?
Let's talk on Twitter
congrats on the recognition from sando
Can u c coach sing's vision? I do!......We all know PATRICK WILLIS is our future!

yes, my fame continues to manifest itself in Sando's blog
thank you, thank you. I’m sure this will bring with it all sorts of riches and opportunity. Heck, I bet ESPN will beg me to give my expert 49ers-homer-fan analysis on a regular basis and pay me scores of money to do so.
Or not
Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Tedd Ginn/Delanie Walker, Frank Gore, Brian Westbrook...which one is getting the ball and where?
Let's talk on Twitter
he considered getting a life once
and was immediately disqualified from ever being a front-page writer.
When life gives you fruit, add a bunch of sugar to it.
I have a life, thank you very much.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I vote yes.

Simple math?
That leaves the spotlight, as usual, on Favre. The Vikings said that the two-time MVP is expected to get about 10 snaps…
Willis, meanwhile, is expected to play only briefly. "A little bit of Pat,’’ is how Manusky described his plan.
A little bit of Pat = about 10 snaps
I'll take cheese on mine.
Also FWIW
Coffee’s story doesn’t “inspire” me. Especially after I was supporting him.
All he did was waste valuable coaching time, playing time, and money. Good riddance already.
I'll take cheese on mine.
Bowman
Really looking forward to seeing him in action as well. I’m a big Penn State fan so I was really excited when he got drafted. The guy can be a beast.
We say it ... ( Fave reeeee ) juz like it's spelled ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's juz my game ...!!
Like I said in the other post, I think a lot of the people on the Cardinals hate the 49ers because it is becoming a good and intense rivalry
And I’d expect the 49ers to hate us too. But thats just how I look at rivalries, I’m sure a lot of the other ones in the NFL [NFC East teams, Packers/Bears, etc] are like that too.
By the way any of you guys seen this yet? Even though I hope that is what happens since I’m from the other side, it sounds highly unlikely. Especially with the soft schedule that you guys have.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
Don't really see the point in "hate" though.
It’s comical to me, actually. It’s almost – and no offense here – like insecurity from Cardinals players. And yeah, we’ve been around the FO train here. It’s not a smooth ride.

None taken.
I do think that deep down those guys do have some respect for the 49ers though.

Should be a fun fan post the week' before the game...!!

Yeah, I hope we can do something like that debate where all of you guys came to RotB for a day again soon.

I think DD secretly wants to be a 49er
He was certainly “joking” about it often enough during the Pro-Bowl with VD.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Does he wanna take a 2 year 4 million dollar contract
I think he can replace Sopoaga well enough.
Gimme 1 round!

Dude that's insulting to a player like DD
$2 million per?
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
No doubt. Dockett especially, I think he gives this team mad props.
We just don’t have a lot of vocal guys, unless you want to read the textual vomit that is Dashon Goldson’s twitter.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
I just joined every one we play against this year's
fansite. Including the Cardinals bird-droppings, I felt a little ill but I held my nose and went for it. I like the Seahawks name “Fieldgulls” because thats all they are getting this year.
13 LB?
Wow. At least with linemen you have some excuse but Coach Singletary really loves his LBs
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
