Around SBN: Doug Flutie's Hail Mary, And Why College Sports Matter

Junk Drawer 9/15/2009 - Music & Basketball

So, I decided I wanted to write a Fanpost that started with, "So I decided I wanted to write a Fanpost."

 

 

Star-divide

So I like music that talks about basketball in the lyrics, but I can only think of a dozen or song songs; all hip-hop-ish. Give me more. 

Skee-Lo - I wish

I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a '64 Impala
I wish I was like six-foot-nine so I could get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but, yo, she's really fine
You know I see her all the time -- everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme of ways to make her mine cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball, so how am I gonna compete with that?
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball -- I'm always last to be picked
and, in some cases, never picked at all
So I just lean upon the wall or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball --Dag y'all!
I never understood why the jocks get the fly girls and, me, I get the hood rats

Kweli Talib - Drugs Basketball Rap

[BEdgers] gettin' caught in the trap for the cash it's the drugs, basketball or the rap

Spearhead - Dream Team

The other day, a friend gave me a call
He said that the dream team was playin basketball
Was so excited - hadda get a witness
The first time the nba was in the 'lympics
Players from the east/ players from the west
And you can bet that they took the very best
("except they left Tim Hardaway at home"
"yeah that was hella [zach'd] up!")
But anyway I tuned in because i was hella psyched
To see Magic on the same team as Mike

Akon - Dangerous

Bad to the bone - everything locked like a two-three zoneI wanted her to make my black snake moan

Spearhead - People in the Middle

I am not professional, but I love basketball, the squeaking of the sneakers, the echo in the hall

Note I was going to add [Eazy-E -  Boyz in the Hood] to this list, but urban dictionary claims that "cold shooting some hoop" doesn't mean basketball. 

Here is a great list of songs referencing the NBA brought up by H-Play

PS We should trade cancer for a backup power forward. That way, we'd kill two birds (getting rid of cancer and getting a backup power forward) with one fell swoop. GET 'ER DONE!!!

Here's a topic I've been thinking of lately.

Let’s say they had a Hall of Fame for all of sports. Not just individual sports, but sports/athletics as a whole. This would be like the best of the best in all of the sporting world and it’s history. Who’s in there? I think it’s a very select group. My list is:

Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods.

My criteria was greatness in their sport, unprecedented impact on their sport and overall cultural relevance both in American and globally. I’ve also debated Federer, Jesse Owens, Jack Nickalaus, Magic, Bird, Wilt, and several baseball players. Who would be on your guys’ list in an all time sports hall of fame?

by DrivetheLane on Sep 15, 2009 8:17 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

If you include the cultural aspect of it as a requirement that is a pretty good list

although it doesn’t have any football or soccer players. Players like Pele and Maradona would be in there. As for football, there would seem to be somebody (Joe Montana, Barry Sanders perhaps) that would be in there too.

by tingeyga on Sep 15, 2009 8:28 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maradona is a good example for someone who would be excluded due to how his career ended and how it played out afterwards doing drugs with Fidel Castro and whatnot. At the very least it would have a bit fat asterisk (he is now back on track and national team coach for Argentina, but there was a 10-15 year period where he was a joke. Kinda like the Michael Jackson of soccer).

I might add someone from winter sports, like Ingemar Stenmark or in the future the still active Ole Einar Bjorndalen as the winningest athletes of all time. Jesse Owens would pretty likely be in it, he was a transcendent athlete and is clean from any suspicion about enhanced performance.

Mhm, maybe if that had started a trend in bobsledding to use athletes (i.e. top sprinters) from other sports, or at least ushered a wave of top teams from countries not known for winter sports. Sadly it hasn’t. Some US teams occasionally use football players as pushers and one or two of them are good, but the scene is still dominated by less athletic but more skilled teams from Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, the baltic countries, …

There's Gotta Be More To Life

by Norsktroll on Sep 15, 2009 8:43 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The reason I didn't include

winter sports is because I question the overall relevance of the sport on a cultural level. I just don’t think that any major winter Olympic athletes have really resonated throughout sports or as a whole culturally. I couldn’t hardly think of summer athletes that have aside from Jesse Owens. And if he hadn’t been beating the crap out of Nazis, that may have been questionable. For instance, I don’t even know who INgemar Stenmark is. I guess, though, that what I’m doing might be overly American-centric as winter type sports are, I’m guessing somewhat, much more relevant in Europe.

by DrivetheLane on Sep 15, 2009 9:23 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

They are not as well known culturally, but there are winter athletes who are more dominant than any summer athletes or team athletes. Stenmark has won 86 world cups and several Olympic golds and world championships. The next best skier ever has won just above 50. Tiger Woods has won 71 PGA titles which isn’t even the best in the sport yet, and golf isn’t even an Olympic discipline. While I agree Woods should be in some hall of fame you could say “Why should he be in there, because of his skin color? What did he enable? Where are the other black golfers?”. There would be no winter tourism industry without top winter athletes. St. Moritz, Aspen & Co. wouldn’t exist.

There's Gotta Be More To Life

by Norsktroll on Sep 15, 2009 9:33 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'll take your word for it on the skiing stuff.

Tiger took golf to unprecedented heights. He hasn’t quite reached the statistical accomplishments yet, but he’s only 33 or 34, so he’s got probably 10 good years left to get those.

On strictly dominance within a given sport, there are several athletes from all over that could get put on this list. I was trying to think of athletes that moved beyond that domination to something higher.

by DrivetheLane on Sep 15, 2009 9:41 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't know.

I wouldn’t include him personally, but I’m sure an argument could be made.

by DrivetheLane on Sep 15, 2009 10:06 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If your list is intended to capture cultural impact in the US, it pretty much has to include a NASCAR driver

like Dale Earnhardt.

I have never understood the appeal of NASCAR, but its got a huge place in the culture in a big part of the US.

by jksnake99 on Sep 15, 2009 10:22 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

if it’s gonna include a NASCAR guy, I’d say Richard Petty… Earnhardt became lionized after he died

No, no, no.

I’m sorry….he wasn’t the best of all time. Not even close. If you’re going to have a race car driver, (and I would argue against it, even as a strong racing fan) you’d be much better served with either Richard Petty or Michael Schumacher.

Schumacher is a good choice

Not so sure about Petty though.

In college I knew a girl who was really into NASCAR. She would schedule her Thursdays so she could watch qualifying. Not a race but qualifying (queue Iverson’s practice rant). Anyways, I once made a comment about how Petty was a better driver than her boy Tony Stewart. This ticked her off. Not only did I think that she was going to start throwing punches, but she said that Petty had an advantage over the field because he raced in an era where the cars weren’t nearly as standardized as they are now and Petty had a huge equipment advantage over the field.

It’s an interesting claim. My impression is that horse racing was much bigger in the past, and a bigger part of our cultural lives. Secretariat was pretty impressive as far as competing and winning goes. As for an athlete?—I don’t know what the qualifications are.

I think I’d be easily convinced of animals as athletes. I guess one thing I start to wonder about though, is how much organics fits into the definition. What I mean, is I can see AI, or Robots, causing this definition to become blurry. For example, DARPA (the US Armed Forces experimental department) holds a competition for AI controlled cars driving over a course. I could see one day, something like the Olympics only instead of countries, we would have institutions—MIT, CAL Tech, etc—all competing with robots and other in-organics…

It is the sweet egg that is served at sushi places. It is a rectangle shaped omelet on rice with a band of seaweed wrapped around it.

It is easy to make. Scramble eggs, add sugar, pour in frying pan, and stir.

it is kind of the safe food for people at sushi restaurants that are nervous about raw fish.

You should try the sweet bean stuff. They put it about all their sweets. It is great with broiled/toasted mochi on a cold winter night. It tastes better than it looks. The beans are red, but when cooked they become black.

He said Serena Williams threatened to kill the line judge and she did not.

Sticking a tennis ball in someone’s throat would only choke them. The line judge could die from that, but there were plenty of people there to give her the Heimlich Maneuver.

Sorry JDers, I need to vent...

So I’ve been trying to buy a home for the past 5 months. I put in an offer, it was accepted, and then the banks took forever to process it.

It went into closing last week. Hurray! I needed it to move into closing such that I could get the $8k from the feds.

Well, my inspection was yesterday. And there is a 30" sinkhole of unknown depth underneath the attached section of this house.

After 1 month of searching and 5 months of waiting, I now have to start over. Fan-freaking-tastic.

Typically banks won't fix anything during a short sale...

They’re already losing money, so they don’t want to lose any more. But this house will never sell with a sinkhole, thus it would go into foreclosure. And typically they’ll lose even more money there. So maybe they’ll fix it… but I can’t really count on it considering it took them 5 months to approve a selling price that was greater than what they asked for.

It took them 5 months to move from accepting to closing?

Wow, that is a really long time. I refinanced our home recently and it only took 2 months from the paperwork being approved to closing. I thought that took a long time because when we bought the house the whole process took about 2 weeks.

by tingeyga on Sep 15, 2009 12:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The problem is the "short sale."

The banks are losing money by selling the home “short” of what it is worth. It’s better for them than to have it go into foreclosure… so it’s kind of a pre-foreclosure.

In this process, they want to review and demand things, then review again… every week it was “2 months out” before the banks approval. It’s a mess.

If the bank owns it, it’s already in foreclosure… if it’s just a short sale, then the current homeowner would be the one to fix it. and yes short sales suck… we had our offer accepted beginning of January and din’t move in until mid April due to all the levels of hell management

Wow, that sucks. How come the inspection took so long?

We had our inspection done about a week after the offer was accepted. Was someone trying to hide the sinkhole until the last minute?

You guys are forgetting one of the greatest basketball songs of ALL TIME

That’s how I beat Shaq – Aaron Carter

Yo guys, check it out
Guess what happened to me
(Another crazy story, come on AC)
I was hanging at the court
Just playing some ball
Working on my game
(Yeah, we heard it all)
I heard the fans screaming
I thought it was for me

But then I saw a shadow
It was 12 foot 3
It was Shaquile O’Neal
(What? What did he say?)
(How ’bout some one-on-one, do you wanna play?)
I told him why not, I got some time
But when I beat you real bad
Try not to cry

(Please Aaron, are you for real?)
(One-on-one with Shaquile O’Neal?)
Yeah, 34 Centre from the L.A. Lakers
(You must’ve been nervous)
I knew I could take him
Stared’ at Shaq, psyche him out
I said O’Neal, you’re in my house now
Start the game the whistle blows
Pay attention close ’cause the story goes…

[CHORUS]
It’s like boom (boom)
I put it in the hoop
Like slam (slam)
I heard the crowd screaming
out jam (jam)
I swear that I’m telling you the facts
Cuz that’s how I beat Shaq
[X2]

So check it out
I thought I had the lead
But then he started scoring mad points on me
I was scorin’ the bricks
Was he hitting those shots?
I knew that there was a way that I could make it stop

I had a plan, that I could change the pace
I said, Yo Shaq you didn’t tie your shoelace
He looked down, I stole the ball
I’m taking him to school now, watch me all
A 3-pointer, nothing but net
Come on Shaq, had enough yet?
Down by two, I’m catching up
I guess your getting nervous
Cuz you already lost

[CHORUS]

Dunk after dunk
Jam after jam
Cheerleaders are cheering
Aaron’s the man
[X2]

Announcers were shocked
Couldn’t believe it was real
(I can’t believe a kid just stuffed O’Neal)
One more second, was all that remained
I put the ball up
I put him in shame
I must admit that it sounds real crazy
but the ball went in
Then he cried like a baby
Sorry Shaq, I should’ve let you win
You’re good too
And we can still be friends

The fans went nuts
They put me on their shoulders
Then I heard a voice
And it sounded like my mother’s

(Get up for school, you’re gonna be late!)
Ma, can’t you see that I’m playing the game?
(How you could be playing if you’re still in bed?)
(Are you gettin’ sick, did you hit your head?)
Aw, man it was all a dream
I guess that kinda thing could never happen to me

If it was a dream and it wasn’t real

How’d I get a jersey with the name O’Neal?
Woah…

I got more than probably usual out of Philly and Romo and maybe Orton though I’m reading pretty good things about Denver. But Clark and Housh and McFadden had a pretty subpar weekend so I also have some upside. And Ward and Walter on the bench. Not that bad as a starting point. I also checked up today that BRP has 3 starting guys on Bye week when I play him :)

I’m very low on McFadden and Housh (Seattle WRs are not great for fantasy. Get the TE.), but I like Clark quite a bit. Peyton loves to find the TE.

The thing is that a defense scoring that many points is an insane anomaly. That is incredibly unlikely to happen again.

I think you, Arkitect, and I have pretty strong teams.

You just want to own the whole Seahawks team :)

Yes I wasn’t happy with Housh, we’ll see how that develops though he does have good hands and could become the #1 target for long balls. Clark had the same yards as weekend surprise Shockey with Brees against a stronger team, just the touchdowns were missing. I’ll hold onto him and hope for better days.

oh, Carlson won’t be this good. I do expect Brady/Hasselbeck/Flacco to be excellent and Ronnie Brown and LDT to rebound, though. Colston/Jackson were a pretty nice WR combo.

Julius Jones looked pretty good as well. A lot of statistical analysis said to pick him.

even before the run he was hitting 4-5 YPC. I’m not expecting him to anywhere near duplicate this week’s performance.

Flacco had an excellent week. I just need him to hit about 15 points per to have a solid backup.

An NBA team should look into German PG/SG Schaffartzik for next summer league. The guy has a 3 point shot that extends well to NBA range

He was 5/5 against Greece and now is 3/3 again on some shots far behind the European three line. Problem is he already is 25, since young players get next to no playing time in Germany.

And Ralph Sampson is really mean,
Bill Russell didn’t take no junk,
and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk,
Tell me, were you in the joint?,
The night Wilt scored 100 points,
Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back,
And didn’t give nobody, no kind of slack,
Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team,
With moves that came right out of a dream,
Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall,
Playing D with desire, it’s Basketball,

I already have a waiver claim in. Don't know if I could still trade a player I have marked as to drop if the claim goes through.

Also I’m wondering how the fantasy experts ranked some guys so low when they are the #1 option, and others higher who are just the #2 at best.

you can still trade a player in your drop if claim is successful...it's whatever clears first...

if the trade was first, and it goes through after 24 hour voting period, then your waiver claim would be invalid

A local cafe[cabaret?] has an ASCAP beef on their plate,as near as I can tell its ok for them to have any one play original music but playing the radio or cover bands they owe the man the vig so I can play my original stuff or even cover a Allman Bros,Robert Johnson tune on slide as long as I dont sing the lyrics.When Letsblaze or my son post down loadable MP3[?] stuff on their websites there is still a public performance for profit copyright thing that applies.

Basically, any time you use copyrighted material in a public setting, you need clearance to do so. This, I think, is a reason why some artists don’t allow people to record their shows (in the event they cover something). Covering work is less of an issue than making a medley of the work, or altering its integrity.

Gave some of my tunes to a local band and Letsblaze.After thinking it trough I decided that I am never going to do any thing with them[see old dude who wont drive more than 20 miles for a gig] and it was a gift freely given,not a typical situation if Cool John were to record one of them I am fine with that,not sure how ASCAP would feel about it and dont really care.

This should be a fanshot

Some people actually care how many All Star appearances Durant makes compared to Oden. I think Oden will help win more games.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/steve_aschburner/09/15/issues/index.html?eref=T1

Portland’s Greg Oden spotted Kevin Durant 80 pages last fall. That was the difference from where Oden would have appeared in the official NBA Register (pg. 159, between O’Bryant and Okur) and where his entry actually ran (pg. 239), back there in the “Promising Newcomers” section. Oden was a rookie again because he missed all of 2007-08 because knee surgery. Now he’s back after a second straight injury-hampered season — a season in which Durant put even more distance between them as a budding NBA star. The Oklahoma City swingman boosted his numbers pretty much across the board (from 20.3 points to 25.3, 4.4 rebounds to 6.5, 43 percent shooting to 47.6, 28.8 percent from three-point range to 42.2). He got to the line more than all but nine others (524 attempts). He’ll be an All-Star once the Thunder start winning about half their games, and some suggest he might crash that James-Bryant-Wade party in talks of NBA supremacy.

In other words, Durant fast is making the 2007 draft look like a bad coin flip on Portland’s part. Unlike some critics, I’m not going to invoke the name Sam Bowie (oops, too late). But Oden is two years behind in development and impact and, while that’s no biggie at age 21, it is getting late kind of early in this assessment.

I get the paper, so I don't care!

Is it mandatory that every single NBA writer writes about how good Durant is

and how much of an injury prone failure Greg Oden is and will continue to be?

They always write these key words and fill in the blanks:

I would bet money that Hasheem Thabeet will turn out the bigger bust

Bowie and Oden at least have/had tons of upside before accounting for injuries. If Thabeet gets injured, fugetaboutit

Hey all

So, things have just been busy. Mercury is doing good.

Thanks for the heads up, Tin, but it’s cool :) I showed my wife those creepy chats and she went bonkers. I don’t think she talked in any of them. They are so creepy she loved it. I asked her not to talk with the “Mortimer” brand name.

Otherwise, things ain’t been going well, but getting crap figured out and Mercury is doing well. She’s standing without help; well, you gotta help her up, but otherwise she’s chill.

Just makin’ me busy is all.

Miss all of you.

I can do something similar. Borrow their business model.

In Pamplona, when I was working there during the San Fermin festival, I bought some of the bull meat from a fight the day before and cooked it that night. Believe it or not, it was not good meat! Who coulda’ guessed.

It was funny, the one Marvin directed us to, Soulja Boy was there and got on his camera.

I think that’s what made my wife catch the bug. I couldn’t recognize Soulja Boy one way or another, and I didn’t think she can either, but everyone else said it was him.

I just know he’s the guy with the annoying song and dresses like a two year whose dad dressed him all hip hop.

Part 2: Mercury Update

She DID open her stitches up a little bit, as I’ve been out of the house and my wife’s mom isn’t as diligent with telling Mercury not to do that.

That’s another thing… wife’s mom is now here. Whoa boy.

So Mercury bled a little more, but it looks closed up now.

I forget. Things have been moving quickly.

Life, career, and money stuff been weighing me down. Mercury is actually the only thing going RIGHT right now, even though she can’t walk. The mom exacerbates problems.

It’s a totally stereotypical son mother-in-law relationship. Now, my mom is silly too, but she saves it for my sisters, and doesn’t bother wife with it. She’s mainly only silly because of menopause. Mom in law has more serious issues.

Well, good luck with the career and money crap. Sometimes ya just gotta suffer through a bad patch. . . . I have a lot of faith in your ability to make thing work out.

The in-law stuff is always weird. The funny thing is my husband is the only one in the family that gets along well with my mother. He was an actor in a previous life and he relies on all that training to deal with her BS. She has no idea how much he can’t stand her.

She was way buff in her chest and shoulders, and you’re right, it’s making her moreso. She loves scotting along and dragging herself around.

It was fascinating stuff, but it’s funny it showed up. I’m pretty sure she didn’t chat with anyone (we don’t have a webcam that isn’t in storage), so we were just peepin’.
