We talk a lot of basketball here at Blazersedge, but what other sports do you enjoy on weekends? What kind of sports junk do you have kicking around the house and garage?

Here in Brentwood, California, which is on the Sacramento River Delta, it seems like half the folks own a boat. I'm not sure how many actually get into the water, because I see them being towed around town a lot. That's probably what I would do if I had a boat, because it's easier than actually putting the boat into the water and you look pretty cool pulling a boat.

Golf is also a popular pastime here. There are a lot of golf courses in this town of 50,000. I don't play anymore, but when I lived in Portland I always enjoyed playing at Hoyt Park, next to OMSI, because I had a good short game but couldn't drive the ball to save my life. When I had to use a wood, the worms ran screaming for their life. Is Hoyt Park still there? For that matter, is OMSI still there? Off Sunset Highway?

Brentwood is a Bronze-level bike-friendly community, which is nice, but it's not a large town like Portland, so after a couple of weekends you've biked everywhere there is to bike. I've been biking lately with some co-workers after work on trails in Walnut Creek, Concord, Benicia, and Moraga. I love biking! For me, the best part is when I first hop on my bike, that feeling of smooth forward motion with little effort is intoxicating.

Tennis, basketball, and racquetball were my three favorite sports for years, but I seldom play them anymore. My daughters are both on the tennis team, which makes me happy in a goofy-dad sort of way. Those sports taught me something sad about myself: hard work, love of a sport, and practice are not enough to rise to the top in that sport. You need athleticism, else Steve Blake, not Brandon Roy, would rule Portland.

Oh yeah, this is my inagural junk drawer. I guess it had to happen sometime. I was going to post it yesterday, but just before I posted it I refreshed BE and Tinfoil's JD was there. Just as well, because we had to leave to spend the day in San Francisco and see "Wicked," so I would not have been able to read your responses until late last night.

Last but not least, no JD is complete without a poll:

Fantasy sports recently :)

Apart from basketball track and field, mountain sports (snowboarding, skiing, biking, trekking, …), soccer, …
Though I have watched much less soccer the last two years than previously where I was in the stadium at least once per month and watched it a lot on TV. Also less interest in motor sports now.

Firefox allows a huge number of add-ons.

Noscript – stops all the malicious and tracking parasites on the websites
Adblock – simply eliminate ads forever
hyperwords – search and reference and translate and convert and a host of features
Nuke Anything Enhanced – right click and delete (temporary) anything that distracts you on the site.
and they are all free.

How can anyone live without them?

Insulation is usually better than isolation, at least in a house. ;)

My first wife and I had a mold problem in a house we rented in Eugene. Most likely the gutters are stuffed full of leaves and gunk, so water has made its way into the walls. If so, your neighbors should be having the same problem.

Keep your sofas and other furniture a few centimeters away from the walls and buy a de-humidifier. It’s about all you can do. Hope you aren’t allergic to mold!

what do people think of the "neighboorhood play" in baseball?

For those who don’t know, in double play situations, an SS or 2B is often allowed to be “in the neighboorhood” of 2nd base as they turn a double play, without ever actually touching the base. The umpires usually call the runner out in these situations, despite the letter of the law saying the fielder actually has to touch the base. Last night, an umpire called the runner safe on this play at a critical time, which many people felt was a bad call (even though by the rulebook the umpire was 100% correct).

by jksnake99 on Oct 18, 2009 9:53 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah, I agree

I applauded the call last night, and I am certainly not a Yankees fan. Angels SS Erick Aybar had plenty of time to touch the base and made no effort to do so.

by jksnake99 on Oct 18, 2009 9:58 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agreed also

When the runner is not allowed to slide and disrupt the play (reason for wide stance I think) it provides unfair advantage to the defense. A rule is a rule.

I despise this call

But I’m a stickler for rules in sports, I’m very cranky they expanded traveling to two steps. I expect players to adhere to the rules and get punished otherwise.

I do get why they call the neighborhood rule though. It’s all about injuries.

by Timmay! on Oct 18, 2009 9:59 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, agreed.

If those are the choices, no contest.

On the other hand, I’d still prefer hidden choice #3: Tell the referees to call it as it’s been written for 50 years. It’ll take a season and everyone will adjust.

by Timmay! on Oct 18, 2009 10:39 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Two steps? I'm confused.

Once you pick up the ball you’re allowed two steps and that has always been the rule in Europe.

US basketball has always been basically one-and-a-half steps in the rulebook

On that second step, that should be a travel. That’s what the rulebook changed.

that ump made absolutely the right call last night.

and to be honest, I’ve never heard of the “neighborhood play” and I’ve watched a lot of baseball. I know that sometimes the guy turning the DP doesn’t actually touch the bag, but this always seemed to be by accident than by design, meaning, they actually made an effort to touch the bag. Aybar didn’t even make an effort to touch the bag.

that was a great game. Someone please tell me what Fuentes was thinking throwing 3 fastballs in a row?

by DrivetheLane on Oct 18, 2009 9:59 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

really? the neighborhood play is very, very common in major league baseaball

Ostensibly this is to protect middle infielders from the dangerous slides by runners. Plays like the one Aybar made are quite common.

by jksnake99 on Oct 18, 2009 10:01 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

i guess i've never heard it called any thing specific.

i know the players will most often brush the back side of the bag while making the throw to protect themselves (and sometimes missing the bag), but I’ve never seen the call at 2B actually conceded because of a “neighborhood play rule”. In any case, whether there is an unwritten rule or not, what Aybar did was not in the neighborhood for a neighborhood play.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 18, 2009 10:06 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

There has not been reason to call attention to it.

But video is so sharp now it can clearly be seen and Umpires have to call it. I do agree that players are taught to touch the side of the bag in back while they throw to 1st to avoid injury. It takes away the effectiveness of a hard slide to break up the play if the defender can straddle the bag and stay away from touching it.

At the risk of being ridiculed (even more)

I had a conversation with some people about a year ago concerning the defining characteristics of a “sport”.

Where we disagreed was in how strenuous an activity has to be in order to be considered a sport. Many other characteristics are variable or optional if you think about it. For example, a sport need not be competitive unless you think that you’re always at least competing with yourself somehow. It need not be intended primarily for the amusement of the participants. And so on.

Given the wide variety of activities — drag racing and duck hunting, to name two — that at least some people call sports, I thought it was fair to include the performance of music as a sport. I was thinking that a sport is an activity requiring a fine degree of motor coordination.

Of course, by that definition, brain surgery is a sport. Well, maybe so. I don’t really know how brain surgeons view their profession.

Whaddaya think?

I thought it was fair to include the performance of music as a sport. I was thinking that a sport is an activity requiring a fine degree of motor coordination.

You forgot an additional requirement: A sport needs a competition with a finite statistical goal.

That rules out music and brain surgery.

I don't understand

Although there is certainly competitive skiing, most people who ski do not compete, and I think most of them would agree that their activity constitutes a “sport”.

Furthermore, there are musical competitions. For piano, one of the most prestigious is the Tchaikovsky.

by 22baylor on Oct 19, 2009 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well not everybody has to play the sport competitively

It’s just that the most skilled people have competitions available with statistics used to decide the winner. In the case of skiing, it’s a stopwatch.

Same way as people who play basketball aren’t always playing for points and to win. Sometimes they’re just playing around. In skiing, it’s simply rarer for amateurs to actually rank each other.

In the music competitions, there is judging, correct? As a rule, if judging is used, any status of sport is nebulous. Figure skating, gymnastics, etc. At least they’re trying to use statistical analysis with boxing, even if it’s arguably failing.

by Timmay! on Oct 18, 2009 10:38 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Interesting

But an element of judgment seems to be important in many sports, if only indirectly. In basketball, for example, the following are subject to judgment calls: has a team scored? (time may have run out, or the ball might have been illegally touched, etc.); who should have possession of the ball? (who touched it last?, did a player step out of bounds?, etc.); and, of course, has a personal foul been committed?

I have practiced picking from about every spot :)

In my last mock draft I picked from 10 and played with complete idiots. I got so many guys with high potential and upside that it wasn’t even funny anymore. Guys I passed on came back to me, and even with the last 2 picks I had quality guys to chose from. I suppose in our draft it will be tougher.

I also signed up for an ESPN league so all that trouble preparing pays off.

I played football, field hockey, cricket, rugby and basketball at school.

I’ve only carried on basketball beyond that, it’s just too good to give up.

The Norsk Trolls feat. the best player in fantasy basketball

PG Derrick Rose / TJ Ford
SG Eric Gordon / Rip Hamilton / Anthony Parker
SF Kevin Durant / Hakim Warrick
PF Elton Brand / Luc Richard Mbah A Moute
C Marc Gasol / Anderson Varejao

All of my starters start in at least 50% of all leagues. Depending on which Buck plays the most the other will likely get dropped some time. I also saw a few guys on the free agency list that might make sense in the future. A bit sad that I barely missed out on upside guys Beasley, Randolph, Young, Speights who would have been nice for my SF/PF spot.

Ha, I like that pick even better now
Ford scored 22 points on only eight shots Saturday, going 6-for-8 from the field and 9-for-10 from the line. He also added four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a three pointer in 29 minutes of preseason action.

Recommendation: Ford is finally the undisputed starter in the high-powered Pacers offense, which makes him an intriguing fantasy option this year.

Lou Williams was a good pick since his coach already said he will play him 35+ minutes in a fast-paced offense

On the negative side, he could lead the league in turnovers. Your team has some problems there also with Wade, Tyreke, another rookie. I guess you can pretty much punt that category.

I focused on guys who play

And often on teams who have a lot of possessions (Nuggets, Pacers, 76ers perhaps this year), etc…

Lou Williams doesn’t really have any competition at PG, so by default he should get a lot of minutes.

JaVale might not play much but he at least blocks shots well.

I would say it is a really good roto strategy

H2H

the specialist strategy works only if they produce. If you go in a slump you have to write off a category. In H2H, if all your guys do everything, then you always have a chance in every category.

but that holds true even when you dont have specialists.

to me balanced rosters are like coin flipping in h2h.

by having a balanced roster you are more likely to have your odds of winning a cat be 50/50 rather than booting a few cats and getting some specialist where you are trying to raise your odds of winning certain cats.

I would say the specialist method is tried and true in FFB, but it does have some dependence on the scoring. Like if you just get counted for winning or whether you get on how many mathchups you win.

ya know

Its a H2H but its not one where you get points for how many categories you win in a head to head.. its just a W or L
by FFB you mean FBB?
Well I guess we see if your right or if i am. :)

We went the opposite due to H2H league, went for specialists in FG%, FT%, points, threes while being solid in a few other categories.

Hard to say

As said above I love Danny Granger in real life, but you are paying for his best year so far and it’s not sure he can build on that. Curry turned the ball over quite a lot in college and will likely continue to do so. Jennings absolutely sucked in Italy, so he is a complete unknown. With Baron you never know which version shows up, hopefully the motivated one. I don’t like David West in real life, but maybe he is good in fantasy. Shaq can go either way. All in all it’s a bit risky.

It makes me think less of them as a coach if you can’t reach them privately. If you need to take it to the media, you’ve failed as a coach, and let’s be honest, if the player is that uncoachable, it won’t improve anything. It’ll just drop his market value.

The wierdness around here is caused by the fact

That there is no cable service in this zip code,If you live in GP you can get cable and it is a different deal.

Philly vs Phoenix on nbatv… in spanish I think

draft patrick patterson

by Starvin' Marvin on Oct 18, 2009 4:19 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Only PG, SG, SF, PF, C, 1 Util in my ESPN league. 4 bench. Lots of statistical categories. Any tips? I suppose you really need guys that can cover a lot of ground (versatile), and some breakout players late if one of the starters is hurt or doesn’t pan out.

I suppose I might get Dirk, Howard, Bosh or Deron with my draft position.

Howard would help a lot in the double doubles, but you can forget FT and likely also turnovers.

I would drop out of the league

do they automatically rank players on ESPN based off this scoring system? If not it sounds like spread sheet time

At least I got 11 points out of McNabb and am comfortably leading Sophia.

My opponent's top scorer

Is Viks kicker Ryan Longwell with 16. Even though I had the Ravens D, I’m still winning thanks to Brady and Gostowski.

Scored me a cool 39 today, by far the highest scoring player I’ve had all year (Roddy White had 29 last week).

and I love Iggy

KG will crack down

I do like Manu as a value pick and Iggy for his ability to cover in many categories. How Ellis and Curry will arrange themselves will be interesting. Likely Ellis will get more production, but also more turnovers this year.

yeah, I think KG may have my worst pick

Amazing to say that taking him at 19 was not at all a no-brainer when he was an easy top 3 pick for so long.

by jksnake99 on Oct 18, 2009 4:47 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

i still think a hurt KG

is better than most of the other C’s in the league
and he qualifies as a C right?

by GreatOden'sRaven on Oct 18, 2009 4:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

no, unfortuneately

otherwise he would have been an easy pick.

by jksnake99 on Oct 18, 2009 4:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

oh weak

I was amazed this year with how many positions yahoo was classifying people as.. he really is only listed as a PF?
i think I only have 1 player who only plays 1 position and thats Parker

by GreatOden'sRaven on Oct 18, 2009 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

so you gave up FT% it seems.

I don’t like that Manu, Ellis, and KG are all coming off of injuries. We took Arenas, but that’s one risk… Tmac was a lot later.

that's how you win a 20 team league-- you have to take some gambles.

playing it safe might win you an 8 team league against dumb GMs, but not this league.

some risk is smart… I went with two. Three of your main players is scary.

unless you are just trying to make the playoffs or something.

I think Garnett is a really bad risk though. He was limping really badly in that training camp video.

I think Tyreke will at least put up stats because he'll get spoon fed minutes

Derozan is iffier, but their total lack of athleticism at the wing combined with him being a lottery pick gives me hope that they’ll spoonfeed him minutes.

Javale is there for at least blocks, and we’ll see if he earns real minutes for the Bullets when they aren’t just the worst team anymore.

I don’t think I got a weakness, everyone shoots a good percentage, and I’ll deal with the assists problem if it is indeed a problem.
