Alright, I know no one likes Rome but

Jim Rome did have an interesting (albeit unoriginal) point on his show yesterday. Responding to the comment made by Jim Tressel that people should stop worrying about Chris Wells’ ankle and start worrying about more important things like Gustav, Rome responded that in theory this would be an acceptable answer, but that in practice people can’t help that Ohio State football is the most important part of their lives.

Now we all know the etymology of the word “fan,” and hopefully we understand at least a little about the genesis of organized sports (specifically in American culture). With those two things kept at least peripherally in our minds, can we attempt to explain or justify this statement? Is Jim Rome just plain wrong (again)? And if he’s not wrong, is there any reason sports assumes such a holy post in our consciousness?

And, if you don’t feel like commenting on that, why can’t Nic Batum breathe through his nose? Should we make Sudafed street legal again to help him out?

I am OFFENDED by your Nic Batum comment

ok not really! He should def get a breath right strip or something .

Not to get into the therapist thing again but in high school a counselor once told me that i have a compulsive nature , therefor I transcend the ‘fan’ label to out right obsessive compulsive behaviour. I dont think its that dramatic but perhaps that is part of the equation when considering ones own fandom.

I think someone much smarter than me needs to write a 500 paragraph post that indicates the social and inherant needs to fit in- which may also be a part of the equation in regards to OSU being the most important part of a persons life.

I didnt listen to JRome but im certain he made that comment in the most crass way possible. He isn’t completely wrong and Im sure if he phrased it correctly, he could have made a very valuable point in regards to the overzealousness (that should be a word) of certain fans.

Good topic though.

Surprisingly enough Jim Rome was somewhat lucid and composed when he made this specific point.

Not so the other 99% of the time.

That five hundred paragraph post on the desire to fit in is called Je vois Satan tomber comme l’éclair (I see Satan fall like Lightning) and it was written by Rene Girard.

On the subject of sports community, though, I think that there is a cathartic element of sports, but I also think sports experience includes a “thrill” or “joy” that is not participle to the release of everyday pressures that people always associate with it.

I’m sick of people explaining away our fascination with sports by saying “it’s an escape.” I believe it’s also a violent event in itself and am looking for someone to prove me wrong.

Yeah

Works alright. Fridays suck because all I want, like everyone else who works a M-F gig, is for it to be the weekend. My aunt is coming in from Florida tomorrow to visit, so I have most of next week off to hang out with her. So, that is making today worse than most Fridays. My phone is ringing off the hook already too. I try to call people back immediately, however I am so not in the mood today to deal with anyone. Otherwise, things are good! How are you?

I'll try to help with the comments: Our old friend Zach seems to be walking in Memphis soon

Reportedly the deal is Zach Randolph (three more seasons for a combined $48 million) for Darko Milicic (2 years, ca. 14.5 million) and Marco Jaric (3 years, ca. 21 million). Man, Zach has come a long way to be now considered in a trade for a guy almost synonymous with European big man bust. Jaric is quite a bust, too, but at least would bring cute girlfriend to visit him in NY — the main reason why I wanted to include him if we would ever deal for Rudy Gay plus filler ;-)

Memphis actually might be a better situation for Zach alongside a better defensive center in Marc Gasol. Yet it’s a little surprising Memphis wanted to shed money in the deal for his brother, and now they take on additional money for Zach (though reportedly they want NY to shoulder some of that, however that shall work).

Caveat: This is coming from “The Memphis Edge”, the same guy who said we are about to acquire a PG from them for Travis, which was probably just warming up a trade talk from before the draft.

Odenied: Asked whether he noticed Oden favoring his right knee, Frye dismissed it entirely. "He favors dunking on your head, that's what he favors."

by Norsktroll on Sep 5, 2008 8:06 AM PDT   0 recs

It's a really crappy play and he lost track of time, but his teammates are not helping their case either

No one cares to get open just a tiny bit. Robinson is the only one besides Zach who moves a little and wants the ball, but doesn’t do anything effective like trying to slash or start a pick and roll. The wings just stand around. It’s the equivalent to getting out of the way on defense to not get posterized.

I'm probably getting way too into it

But you’re right, there is something odd going on with the rest of the team.

Nate seems like he’s expecting to get the ball back immediately. Right after he tosses the ball out to Zach he throws his hands up.

Then, David Lee makes a half-a-cut into the lane as Zach starts to move in, but quickly retreats as Zach does the same.

Finally, Nate rushes out to help (I assume, it’s not like Nate is a real facilitator anyway) when Zach loses control of the ball. Zach ignores him.

Then there are seven seconds on the shot clock when Z-bo heaves up a mighty brick.

Here’s my counter to your assertion that Zach doesn’t get much help here: does Zach look like he wants help? After getting de-hubrised with that ridiculous crossover, he just continues his hypnotic, slow-mo dribbling even though—as I mentioned above—Nate came running over to take the ball from him.

Good points

I really didn’t want to defend Zach here, it just seems like the whole five has no will let alone plan how to score. He really screws the play up and is the main culprit, and it does look like Nate just was expecting to get the ball back after a second to start the play. Zach seems like his mind is somewhere else, though definitely not in flow ;-)

The look on Isiah’s face after the airball is priceless. He looks up to the screen or the clock, and it’s hard to tell if he thinks “How much longer do I have to endure this?”, “Is it time for dinner?”, “Why did I trade the Franchise for him?” or “I should bench all of them”.

I should have made it clear that I think you brought up a good point

I watched the video at least ten times before I posted it at not once did I think, “what are Zach’s teammates doing?” My further evaluation was originally meant as a compliment, but since I ended with a challenge to your defense of Zach, it made it sound like criticism. My bad.

But you’re right, the look on zeke’s face is worth a billion words. I think we should come up with a “what is zeke thinking” fanpost where we encourage bedgers to come up with their own.

Mine is: “Wherefore my dignity?”

I like to look for the big picture and the reason why things happen, though I regularly don't succeed ;-)

I wonder how often Zach and Thomas have watched this scene in replay to learn from the mistake.
Probably less than you did. Maybe D’Antoni at least would have approved of Zach’s effort to score quickly. Maybe not, since they seem willing to trade him now for cents on the dollar.
