Genki Drawer - 10-11-2010

PrintSo is everyone bright, vibrant, and full of life today? if you can read this then you are impervious to my secret message attempts
word of the day: circumventulate (I actually invented this word in the '90s as a teenager.)
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts. Its purpose was simple from its infancy; a place where people could come and chat about all of the "whatevers" that didn't fit with the rest of the site and even be loose in terms of byplay and humor. The goal was to foster community...to let people who wanted to get to know each other outside of what they could discern from the strictly basketball posts. We've had happy JD's, sad ones, drawers that looked like a sharing circle, drawers that resembled open mic night at the comedy club... and people have really become a family here.
So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. Everyone else is doing the same, so you will find the JD an eclectic place where you might read something interesting, pointless, profound, or just funny within a few moments. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:
- Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.
- Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
- Remember everything you write is visible publicly
- Don't use the JD call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, remember that you can use 'Z' on your keypad to mark a comment as read and move to the next one and hitting shift-A will mark all comments as read.
Sometimes life gives you problems but they aren't problems so much as obstacles for circumventulation.
As far as BEdge matchmaking goes, I'm pretty broken up about DtL and 323 not working out (did he ever even buy her that drink?) and not sure where to go next with matchmaking. There are lots of ways to tell superficially how bad a couple could be and those are always fun. I'm always amazed when people like this try to hookup.. and they often do. It's harder to know for sure that someone is really going to work out as opposed to if they have absolutely no chance of working out.
In conclusion, I'm willing to make a matchmaking junk, but someone has to submit themselves for a matchmaking interview first and public analysis, or it's not worth it. Beyond that, enjoying talking about whatever the zach you want to talk about but age ain't nothing but a number and life is a hundred times too short to stifle myself--tminus: 1,216,420
Happy Columbia Day!

I don't understand this miracle:
I fed a fish to a pelican at frisco bay
he tried to eat my cell phone…
he ran away
If I have to explain it to you, then it's not a miracle no more
The fact that pelicans can live off cell phones is a miracle in itself.

Who ran away, Violent J or the pelican?
If you need more ICP interviews, youtube “insane clown posse howard stern”. They are on the show a lot.
The pelican
He had other miracles to perform for he was Pelican Jesus. The messiah of all pelicans.

NFL Question
Who is more overrated Philip Rivers or Tony Romo?
I used to go by tominhawaii. My real name is still Tom.
That's a tough one
I’ll go with Rivers because Romo doesn’t throw sideline tantrums, but I’m quite glad neither of them is my team’s QB
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
I'd probably take them over my QB (Seahawks)
But I’ll give you an A+ for good answer.

I’d say this year’s edition of Brett Favre is most overrated, but Manning was last year and will be next year
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
Good point
Maybe I should have asked, who is the most mediocre over rated NFL QB?

Aren’t people KILLING Favre this year? He’s been recognized as really bad. That said, the projections for him were too enthusiastic based on his unsustainably excellent performance last year.
Based on performance, Favre was incredibly overrated for his last 5-6 years with the Packers and his year with the Jets.
Yeah, I don’t get how people didn’t catch on that “gunslinger” was synonomous with “playoff burnout.” Remember when he threw 5 (or was it 6?) intereceptions against the Rams in a playoff game?
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
He won a ring though
That puts him above both of them. I would agree with you prior to winning his ring.

by LukeBabbittFTW on Oct 11, 2010 7:15 AM PDT up reply actions
In a way that's part of what makes him overrated
Other than getting hot in the playoffs that year he really hasn’t been consistently good at any point in his career

I didn't like his San Diego crap he pulled

That was bogus
And the funny thing is San Diego turned out to be really good
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
Rivers was better, that was part of the reason. But man, Manning turned down the chance to play with young LT, Gates, Jackson, Malcom Floyd…
Not to mention a top 5 defense, although the Giants were up there too
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
The Chargers actually got Rivers AND a draft pick that became Merriman in the Eli trade. The Giants traded two better players for one worse player.
The Chargers traded out of #1 twice
And dominated the trade both times. A couple years before they drafted vick and traded him for LDT and picks, then got Brees in the 2nd round
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
Man I wish the Vikings had taken Clausen. Second round seems like the place to get a QB of the future.
I was really surprised when they didn’t, it made so much sense. Do they still believe in T Jackson or something?
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
I think the team is bound to be blown up after this year. There are a lot of old guys and free agents. Pat Williams is retiring, several of the O-Line guys are past their primes…
makes sense
It’ll be interesting to see how fast they retool since there’s a lot of fairly young talent still on the team as well
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
I like the following players as building blocks
Considering age, essentially
Ray Edwards
Jerryd Allen
Chad Greenway
Cedric Griffin
Adrian Peterson
Percy Harvin
Sidney Rice
The problem is, the strength of the team has been the lines, and both our DTs (the Williams) as well as our best Olinemen (Hutchinson/McKinnie/Herrera) are old guys.
You can make that statement after Madison Bumgarner moons Chavez Ravine or squirts an ump with his water bottle.
haha
did you see David Wells react rather negatively to Terrell Owens coming on the “gone hunting” photo for the Reds (they are copying Kenny Smith’s “gone fishing” thing).

by LukeBabbittFTW on Oct 11, 2010 7:22 AM PDT up reply actions
right
he was basically a sexier Trent Dilfer when they won it all, and after that everyone wanted to make him a top 10 QB. Manning’s play has been about on par with Chad Henne.
Meanwhile guys like Orton and Schaub are way better, but get no respect outside fantasy.
Yeah the Redskins got super lucky this offseason. McNabb is the best QB to play for them in my lifetime
#5
It's true, my v key doesn't work properly
McNabb going to the Redskins was like some sort fo Zaching Miracle

The packers have been doing this every game this year..
just start out hot and keep it by 2 Scores, Then bleh.. There offense goes to Sh*t.
Had them in a teaser.. so it worked out. but still.
Notes to Broyposse: "Don't let him pull that move, Don't let him pull that move! That's the move! Ohhhhhhh that's the move!"
Win-win for both teams, as I love the guy we got with the Redskins pick in Nate Allen.
Already been huge for us on the in the secondary with 3 INTs and named defensive rookie of the month. The other safety spot was a nightmare for us last year when Dawkins left.
I will run naked through the streets if Oden wins the MVP this season...happily.
Whoa
I’ve been watching and reading way too much ICP stuff on the internets. There was this girl taking about them and they mentioned her in an article.
I was all like, that girl has a funny voice and didn’t think anything of it. Then I noticed she had an Adams apple. I watched some more videos and realized too things. At 2:20 in this video, she kind of looks like AK and she talks in the same cadence as AK. I don’t mean that as a knock on AK. I just saw the video and said, “Whoa, kind of looks like AK.” Then I realized she talks to the camera in a similar way as AK.
Here is her video after ICP says something about her.
Here is her profile

Bad AP Voters
On ESPN Insider:
http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/blog?name=mcgee_ryan&id=5673108
The weekly winner of this somewhat dubious honor is Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News. Every week, I receive multiple complaints about Wolf, almost entirely from the Midwest, claiming that he is “a serial Big Ten hater.” According to Pollspeak’s “Pollstalker,” he routinely ranks the Big Ten teams lower than most of the sixty AP Top 25 voters and has won Pollspeak’s user-determined “Worst Voter” award three of the season’s first six weeks.
But per my inbox, this week’s early leader in the clubhouse is Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Anderson was brought to my attention by fans of South Carolina, which Anderson moved up only one spot, from 19th to 18th. Most of his peers moved the Cocks into the Top 10 after their upset of Alabama. Devotees of Ohio State (he dropped them from 2nd to 7th), Nebraska (7th to 8th) and Oregon (2nd to 5th) took issue with Anderson this week, too.
In Anderson and Wolf’s defenses — and I wrote this in my Mag story — the surprisingly simple AP voting guidelines encourage following one’s own path and not simply copying and pasting in what they think everyone else might be doing. Here are those guidelines, in their entirety:
1. Base your vote on performance, not reputation or preseason speculation.
2. Avoid regional bias, for or against. Your local team does not deserve any special handling when it comes to your ballot.
3. Pay attention to head-to-head results.
4. Don’t hesitate to make significant changes in your ballot from week to week. There’s no rule against jumping the 16th-ranked team over the eighth-ranked team, if No. 16 is coming off a big victory and No. 8 just lost 52-6 to a so-so team.

Respect...
Miller’s mid-season awards, LMJ is offensive MVP and Kelly is Coach of the year so far.
Biggest surprise: This was going to be Arizona’s defense until the Oregon State loss. Instead, it’s Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas, whose rapid growth running the Oregon spread-option offense has been a revelation and is the prime reason the Ducks are national title contenders. Someone else played quarterback for the Ducks last year but no one remembers his name anymore.

Oregon IS the best team in the Pac-10 but every team is good enough to beat us any given week if Oregon comes out flat.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
So did USC
They had a habit of dropping games to crappy teams when they were really good.
Going undefeated requires a mix of luck and skill and often more luck than skill at times (think Texas in the Big 12 title game last year).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Considering Pac-10 is at worse, second-best conference in the nation...
Oregon losing one game might not be catastrophic. It just depends on when and who. Of course, it’s the Civil War game that they are in most danger. Lose that one, and it’s over.
I will run naked through the streets if Oden wins the MVP this season...happily.
Didn't LSU (or someone else) lose their conference championship
Only to be selected to the title game anyway a few years ago? Not that it would happen for Oregon, but there is always that possibility.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I believe Oklahoma did. Nebraska also lost the last game of their regular season only to be picked anyhow.
That was the year Oregon should’ve made it, although Jonathan Vilma may have killed Joey Harrington.

Oklahoma is also loved in the computers and Boise State’s computer rankings will only drop since their only remaining non-crappy opponent is Nevada.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
And I wouldn't put it past Nevada to beat them either
Any team that can score like that, esp. when they are playing at home, is tough.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
OU and Nebraska won’t get much boost from their remaining schedules. I think there’s an outside chance that a one loss SEC team could jump over Nebraska because they would have an overwhelming advantage in the computers. Nebraska is currently 10th in Sagarin’s chess rankings, while Alabama is 17th. Alabama has games against undefeated Auburn and LSU remaining, then the SEC championship vs. probably a two loss South Carolina.
More interesting question
Might a one-loss Bama team jump Boise State if it came to that?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

Mid-majors won’t make the national championship game unless there’s not enough undefeated teams from BCS conferences standings, no matter how weak the Big 12 might be this year

In honor of Rice
We’ll get back to recapping exhibition games, making too much of each individual practice, and speculating on the return dates of injured Portland players a little later. I’ve got to switch things up for a moment. I have to give a tip of the cap to the one and only Mike Rice, my insanely-popular partner on the TV broadcasts.
After all, it has now been 20 years since he was hired to be the radio analyst for the team. This will be his 21st season behind the microphone in Portland.
Maybe you know the story, and maybe you don’t. Let me take you all the way back.
It was a tryout at the 1991 Blazers Slam n’ Jam at Civic Stadium that helped the team decide to offer the radio-analyst job to Rice. The team was in need of a new sidekick for Bill Schonely, and four different guys each got one quarter of the exhibition game to show their stuff. Former NBA referee Earl Strom, former Blazer assistant coach Jack McKinney, former Oregon State standout Mark Radford, and Rice, were in the running for the job.
Marshall Glickman, who was running things for the Blazers at the time, decided to leave the decision up to Schonely.
"Marshall put this all together," Schonely told me the other day. "Each guy had a quarter to make their case. Radford was good, Strom was entertaining, and McKinney would have been fine choice as well. But, Rice was clearly the best. He’d had some experience from working at ESPN, and he was the guy."
So, rather than coming from the very top, the decision was put entirely in the hands of The Schonz.
"Marshall came to me after the game and said ‘you name it- you pick the guy you want.’ I selected Rice and I don’t really know what happened after that. It’s been 20 years already? I created a monster!"

And the easiest way to get points
Be a good teammate. You get a teammate grade which is increased for doing things like double teaming at proper points, boxing out, setting screens, etc. even if those don’t accumulate stats.

Just to get my status up.
I get lots of cheap bonuses for good transition D, which is about 1/10th of the bar.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
My favorite is a steal, score and dunk
Which is about 1.5 times the bar with bonuses for the steal, fast break score, shot selection and two highlight plays for a slam and a score off a steal/block.

Double teaming is your friend
Btw, what length quarters do you play? I play 7 as a way to get me a few extra minutes.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
i play 7 also. i set the sim quarter lengths to 7 as well so the rest of the league matches up statistically.
i haven’t got the hang of the double team yet. hold down L1 right? there are so many controls. hahahaha

you train him by doing drills and getting skill points and skill bonuses (i do all shooting drills). then you get skill points for performing well in games, getting milestones, completing certain tasks in games also. then you can distribute the skill points across many different skills for the player. everything from shooting to emotion to speed.
it also depends what type of player you are as to what skills start out higher. i chose athletic so my speed would start out high. it’s at 90 now. not i want to get quickness to 85 or 90 and then ball handling to the same level. i won’t try for 99 right off the bat.

I will definatley up my dunk rating earlier
Custom dunks are fun.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
i wait to do that stuff. my plan now is:
quickness to 85-90, ball handling to 85-90, then all the shooting categories to about 90 and go from there.

Oh yeah that too
And I’ll also up my mental categories because they are cheap and they increase your overall rating.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
i do that near the end since the rating doesn’t do too much really. i’m trying to do the expensive important stuff first while i can get what are basically a bunch of free points from the drills

Defensive awareness helps a lot btw
Your player will tend to react instinctively much better (e.g. automatically jump when a player near you puts up a shot, etc.).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'll probably start as the 3rd PG behind Miller/Bayless
I’ll admit, I replay games until I get a good enough rating to move forward.

Its a good idea, except that Nate would probably tell Frye to stop shooting 3s and instead shoot long twos.
that reminds me
when someone in the GDT said Roy should stop shooting three’s cause he sucks at them and should take a couple steps in.
lol
did you explain to him that a career 35% 3 point shooter like Roy would have to shoot a little about 53% on those shots from a couple steps in for that to be worth it?
but 2 pointers are easier to make! that’s why they aren’t worth 3!

there is something magical about the line— Roy would probably make like 75% of the shots if he just went inside.
That toe Jerryd keeps on the line sometimes ensures he’s not embarrassing himself. It’s like a security blanket.
in Jerryd’s case it does seem like he hits about 65% of his shots with a toe on the line. Too bad he can’t make it when he’s fully behind or fully in front of the line.
alternatively
we encourage him to keep shooting 65% with a foot on the line.

On USC’s last drive, I started thinking “let them score” as soon as the got to about the 35. That’s how much confidence I have in the offense and how little I have in the D.
USC's D is awful of course

Anyone else think the ESPN treatment of their Miami Heat blog was pretty weak?
Today ESPN.com rolled out the silly hype-machine that is the “Heat Index,” in which they have assigned approximately the same number of writers and features that they have for the rest of the nba altogether to following the Heat.
Seems like extreme over-saturation to me, but what is worse is how the Truehoop network Miami affiliate blog “Hot Hot Hoops” had their ties to ESPN unceremoniously cut. Here is a link to the head of HHH’s response to what happened.
I guess it just seems like an all-around slimy move: announcing that you are cutting ties with an independent (and unpaid) blog to continue spinning LeBron hype by sticking it as an afterthought into an afternoon blog post, then linking directly to the hype.

Doesn’t Adande practically write full time about the Lakers? ESPN already has full local sites in 5-6 major markets, but it’s not a problem to keep those TrueHoop sites around. What’s different here?
That's what I don't get...
it seems to me that there is essentially nothing to lose by keeping the other blog around and affiliated. No upkeep or maintenance…I imagine truehoop will link to them anyway if they have interesting content…since when is ESPN making an effort to not overload with info?
I
I dunno, it’s like the ESPN people don’t really get what a blog, or blog network is. There’s a difference between a star beat writer and a blogger and a columnist. Blogs always combine some spirit of interaction and community with reporting, analysis and opinion. Even sites like Andrew Sullivan and Josh Marshall (who don’t have a comment sections) check their emails, post quality submissions on a daily basis, and ask for tips and help with things where they believe their readers may have greater expertise. That all leads to a sense of community. Guys like Windhorst and Adande won’t do any of that stuff. They’re not really bloggers.

its been 15 years since they won it all!! 15 years!! Fully 8 different franchises have won it all since then!!
he actually claims that it’s harder to cheer for a good team that keeps almost winning than either
1) A team that’s only good every ten years (like the Giants, he says)
2) A team that always sucks.
That is one way to look at it I suppose. A completely bizarre way that it ignores 1995 altogether. But it is a way.
If he actually thinks he’d rather be a Royals fan, he’s totally delusional. Even if we conveniently forget 1995. As frustrating as all the Blazers’ near misses have been, I wouldn’t have preferred to be a Warriors fan the last 20 years, that’s for sure.
in my opinion, the perfect sports team to be a fan of the past 15 years would be the San Antonio Spurs

That would be 7 hours
Yeah it wouldn’t be bad to increase the speed before doing longer miles. You don’t need to do a lot of those, just once it would be good to do about half the distance and maybe a few times 10 miles. In the last weeks, 6 miles is plenty. When you can jog and still could talk, then you are doing fine with your speed.

At least you wouldn’t have to always have contact to the ground with 1 leg, and have a straight leg when touching the ground, as speed walkers have to. There’s a 50km speed walking e.g. in the Olympics, so even 8 km longer than marathon. The fastest guys finish in under 3:45 :-)

The Phillies NLDS OPS was 60 points below the Mariners season OPS… and they still won in a sweep. Phillies pitching FTW and Reds fielding FTL.

I don’t take it to be any sign at all really, just an interesting stat that shows how it was their pitching and the Reds awful game 2 defense that carried the day. They still have a good enough offense to be substantial favorites over the Giants or Braves.
hopefully their low OPS trend continues against a Giants staff that is better than the Reds staff and a defense that has been playing better. so far.

Simmons' baseball podcast killed me
his baseball guests are usually good. But they went into the Smoak-Montero debate, saying Seattle likely made a huge error based on Smoak’s second-half and Montero’s minor league play.
They completely ignored:
-Montero’s lack of athleticism and likely DH status. They talked about him like a catcher.
-Treated Smoak’s second half of the season like it was doom for his career.
-the gigantic left/right disparity in Safeco and how that would’ve sapped Montero’s best attribute, his power to left.
Really dumb.
yeah
I didn’t know all that stuff, but even so I found it questionable that they were just hammering the choice given Dean Oliver’s maxim that people who make decisions in sports probably know more about sports than you do.
He’s pretty entertaining but IMO he’s a much more talented writer than talk show host, so it’s disappointing to see him write fewer and fewer columns.
yeah, I’ve definitely discovered a lot of smart people through him (and some dumb ones too). I still wish ESPN would take his idea of a show where “old school” guys and “stat guys” yell at each other. Sure they wouldn’t agree on much of anything, and there wouldn’t be much constructive debate, but it would be pretty funny.
yeah
he’s a fun listen, I think, because he’s a cranky old anti-sabre guy who gets as nervous about the Yankees as I do about my fantasy team during the night games. The level of paranoia is awesome.
meh, I’d make a distinction between anti sabre fans like DTL and JackO who think nerds are preventing them from enjoying the game, and old school “experts” who really believe you can divine something about the quality of a player by how firm his handshake is or something (I’m thinking of John Kruk).
If I can't trust John Kruk's handshake analysis, I just don't know what to trust.
(I’d never heard he said that, that’s funny)
it's indefensible that they didn't make any mention of Montero being quite unlikely to catch.
I can understand an outsider not getting the Safeco thing, but it’s not hard to see that he’ll struggle catching.
I mean, he might make it, but he certainly doesn’t profile as anything more than a guy who’s catching because it’s a more valuable position.
AND
if we’re going to read into the second half small sample size, then also consider the last two weeks, when he was on fire.
I didn’t know that Montero wouldn’t be able to catch, but thinking back on Olney’s points, it seems he believed that. The talk about the Yankees giving him a lot of opportunity to catch makes me feel that Olney believes it’s know sure thing.
I'm giving Olney credit for what Simmons said.
Simmons was the one who assumed that Montero would catch.
Well, Simmons has no idea I’m sure. Olney should’ve corrected him, but the “hate on Seattle” narrative was too good to get in the way of.
that made me pretty angry.
Because things have gone poorly, we’re just going to assume that this deal won’t work out.

What was Olney’s point about power pitchers and small market teams? Why can’t a small market team succeed with ground ball pitchers? He made a big deal about it but didn’t seem to have a reason. I was perplexed at the time and just remembered.
Yeah, I dunno.
his point was that power pitchers are super important. I don’t get why they’re more important for small market teams than they are for big market teams, especially as a lot of the small-market teams focus on defense.

i read something about remakes and why they always happen a while ago. can’t remember where though.
but basically it was that in tough economic times (or just when the studios want easy money) they’ll do a remake or sequel because it’s a built in audience they know will show up and people won’t have to think too much about what they’re watching. basically, they aren’t challenging so people show up. it makes sense.

I'm, like, not close in my matchup
Alex Smith and Jake are Bay Area buddies, Mr. Snakes had him fix the game last night.
At least I’m finally healthy and almost done with byes next week. Yahoo says I’ll score a lot of points, so that means I will.
that is one of the most confusing things to me about football
why they have poor overall runners who are goal line backs because they’re big. Those guys are also much more prone to be tackled by the legs deep in the backfield, where the small, shifty backs are better at squeezing through the line.
me too. Brandon Jacobs has stolen touchdowns from Bradshaw the last two weeks (but I’m damn happy to see my team getting TDs so fantasy definitely goes on the backburner having guys from the Giants on my FF team.
Go Blazers! Secure the Win!
I’m the opposite, I’ve had a fairly good start and haven’t dealt with any serious byes or injuries yet. Rodgers’ concussion is going to make things tough in my yahoo league. Alex Smith is my backup…(maybe I’ll get lucky and he’ll have a good game since it’s against the Raiders).

a lot can go wrong with a sac bunt
and you’re automatically sacrificing an out, whereas a steal can be “free.”
wow, that is not a strike, ump.
a lot of umps have gargantuan strikezones on 3-0. drives me insane.
and now it totally takes the Giants out of the inning.
unbelievable throw by McCann though.
we want to be nice to the pitchers though!
Strike zones fluctuate so much; it’s very frustrating to see how small they get when the pitcher’s up 0-2.
Huff and Uribe are playing like Huff and Uribe, not the where-did-this-come-from-really-good-2010-versions of themselves and Burrell hasn’t done squat except for the HR in game 2.
presto— Giants offense goes bye bye..
Just commenting that the Giants are painful to watch
Even when good, most of the time.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don’t really agree at all. With the way Huff, Uribe and Burrell played this year, unsustainable or not, they were a reasonably decent offense (in the regular season at least) coupled with an outstanding pitching staff.
I like this team a lot though
I prefer 1-0 games to 10-9.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don’t really have a preference, as long as its well played.
That Rockies-Padres 1 game playoff (final was 9-8 I think) was awesome.
I think I prefer a slugfest.
unless it’s two great pitchers going at it. I would love to see Lincecum-Halladay.
or any Giants team in the forseeable future, especially once Huff, Uribe, Torres, Burrell and Sanchez remember that they are old and not very good.
i could see torres having a few years left in the tank, considering he’s never played for any mlb team with regularity ever
but having more years of buster, (hopefully) panda bouncing back, brandon belt coming up from AAA, and maybe an FA signing, the giants’ offense doesn’t look too bad
interesting that there’s no hesitation from osu or rodgers in trying to get a medical redshirt year.

* — NCAA rule 14.2.4.3.6.2 Fraction in Percent Computation – Any computation of the percent limitation that results in a fractional portion of a contest or date of competition shall be rounded to the next whole number (30 percent of 12 games is 3.6 – rounded to 4 games).
I'm pretty sure that even if they apply, he could still decide to go pro.
Might just be covering his bases so he still has a decision.
right, I thought Linnenkohl was a senior
should still be a great offense. Ten starters coming back is no joke.
but that opens spots for michael doctor and cameron collins in the linebacking corps, and dominic glover has been good when he has played to replace gabe miller.
the biggest loss would be paea (obviously), and then dockery, but i love me some jordan poyer so it wouldn’t be too bad.
i actually think the defense will be better next year
I like Collins a lot.
OSU losing linebackers never concerns me, they all seem to produce at roughly the same level, year in and year out. Except Ellison, he was a freak.
Losing Paea, though… I think that hurts severely and they take a step back.
michael doctor is the next keith ellison, and cameron collins is the next derrick doggett.
losing paea hurts, alot, but the defensive tackles aren’t nearly as important as linebackers in banker’s scheme. it’s all about the playmakers in the back 7 (LBs and secondary), and having good rush ends
Hmm, I disagree.
I think the defensive line is always the most important part of a defense, regardless of scheme. Paea takes two defenders, which means the front four occupies the whole offensive line. It makes your entire defense better.
but the linebackers are no good;banker’s scheme is all about cancelling out gaps to allow the linebackers to make plays on the running back.
i think it’s more important to have elite linebackers than an elite defensive line nowadays, especially with the advent of the annoying spread option
Heh, I'd say the spread practically demands a dominant defensive line.
The key is disrupting the line of scrimmage.
you are correct, though. the best way to stop the spread is to control the line of scrimmage on make oregon play on their side of it.
boise state did the best job i’ve ever seen of it last year. then ohio state in the rose bowl.

i heard no hitters are very difficult to pitch. when someone is pitching a no hitter, like Derek Lowe is doing right now, that is a rare thing. to not give up one single hit all game, like what happens in a no hitter is also exciting to watch. let’s see if Derek Lowe, who is currently throwing a no hitter, can continue to pitch his no hitter through the 5th inning.

A sports bar named Spirit of 77 is opening across from the Oregon Convention Center in time for this weekend’s football kickoffs and baseball playoffs.
When the action commences, it will be a moment rich in symbolism, as well as a fresh step toward redevelopment around the Rose Quarter.
The name of this Portland-specific game-viewing venue commemorates the city’s singular glory moment in sports history: now in their 40th season, the Portland Trail Blazers won their only National Basketball League championship in 1977 behind the efforts of star center Bill Walton.
A screaming orange “Spirit of 77” sign inside won’t let anyone forget the name of this place or its roots. And the theme continues outside with an outsized 36-foot sign that reads “This is RIP CITY,” invoking the catch-phrase coined by the Blazers’ beloved former play-by-play announcer, Bill Schonely. Whether the sign will be highlighted with red and white neon is a decision still resting with City of Portland design review officials.

hmm, that does introduce an interesting angle into the sac bunt debate. that’s a good point. I was thinking about Torres trying to bunt him for a hit but I didn’t think of it with Sanchez.

Ankiel’s HR ball in game 2was retrieved by a kayaker and thrown ashore where it was retrieved by some teenager. He tried to throw it back onto the field but couldn’t get it over the stadium’s outer wall. Some other kid picked it up and threw it onto the arcade above the RF fence where a 4th person finally threw it back on the field.

being serious? he had that one awesome drive when he was smart enough to throw the ball fast but then his interception on the final drive was horrendous.

that wasn’t his fault, though. that was the offensive line failing to protect and getting hit right as he was releasing the ball.
he led them on 2 straight td drives
wait, two of the TD drives were after the argument? yesterday is a little hazy so I mostly just remember the drive right after he convinced Singletary to keep him in that was totally awesome and then the final drive.

sorry man— didn’t intend to be a jerk. there’s definitely a case that the Giants should have held him there— what I don’t get is the “never make the last out at home” rule— that makes zero sense to me… 2 outs and a play at home seems to me like THE BEST time to take a risk— it seems like it should be the 1st or 2nd out that you never want to make at home.

please, neighbors, I don’t want them living on my back OR front porches.
This guy has been out there 50% of the time I’ve opened my door in the last three days.
He’s one of the most gorgeous creatures I’ve ever seen, but he also bites.

I bought a commercial cat fence. It worked so well that after taking it down a year ago, my cats still don’t realize that they can just hop right over the chain link fence. It’s nice to let them out without worrying where they’ll go.
It would have, except that I had a 70 foot cherry tree just outside the cat fence. Twice raccoons climbed the tree and dropped in. Once it was a family of 5. Of course, then they couldn’t get out.
But if installed according to the directions (not near a 70 foot tree, for instance), it would have kept other creatures out. It did keep the neighboring cats out, which my chain link fence doesn’t do now.
congrats to Fav-ruh for his 500th TD. guy’s got some serious stats to his name.
Go Blazers! Secure the Win!
that was vintage Favre, beautiful rainbow pass that dropped exactly where it needed to be. And that was a nice stop by the Vikings D after muffing that kick return.
Go Blazers! Secure the Win!
that was odd playcalling. shoulda gone for it from the start and then Favre missed an open receiver…
Go Blazers! Secure the Win!
i think the jets have the best oline in the game and the bears the worst
the internets cant be trusted
and Holmes, Keller, LT, and Edwards.
But it’s easier to just blame it all on Cutler. Who cares that he has no time to pass?
why is Harvin not the punt returner?
I understand that Camarillo has the heart of a champion, but Harvin’s gooooood.
Also, the commentator was an idiot re: the 2 pt conversion. If you don’t go for 2 the first time, you still have to make the 2 on the second one.
i sincerely believe that i’m better at clock management than at least 80% of the coaches in the league
absolutely. game changer right there. time management seems to be something a ton of NFL coaches fail at.
Go Blazers! Secure the Win!
the idea of having a time management coordinator who plays a lot of Madden sounds absurd but weirdly sensible.
you just need something to simulate the different scenarios. i am amazed at the clock management mistakes NFL teams make each and every week.
i mean, the jets might have just blown a game in an incredibly tight division
Passed on second down
Incomplete, meaning they had to run one more play before the 2 minute warning.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
down almost to the two minute warning, and Minny without timeouts.
It’s second and 11. The Jets don’t wait long enough, so they throw an incompletion and the clock stops prior to the two minute warning. So then the clock stopped after third down and the two minute warning, saving the Vikings 40 seconds.
in madden i go for in on 4th down. always.

I say we ban the Coliseum from hosting future games
0-2 there last two pre-seasons.
Or maybe its just the freaking Jazz.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
wow, 14 ft attempts for LA, and Roy hit some shots.
We got owned on the boards though. Looks like our main guys played more minutes that theirs also. Not a particularly good sign.
Not going to read much into it of course
We got absolutely curb stomped by the Jazz last year at home in the pre-season (and in the regular season too) and it meant nada.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
preseason doesn’t mean much, but unlike summer league it does mean a little more than nada. There was a link on TrueHoop to a story about that.
Roy's a slow starter
which shows up in the preseason and early season. That does mean something, so preseason isn’t meaningless. We’re seeing that he’s a little rusty, at least by the box score.
Although he went 6/9 tonight
Which is good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I agree on that
But the Lakers went 0-2 in Europe
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Rudy's still playing well
Raising that trade value. Even as he is another $50k lighter (moron).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
he was a good rotation piece his first year.
Some theorized that his poor play last year might’ve been due to his back injury, and the way he’s playing now, it’s possible.

And yes, I realize the amount of money that’s at stake for him here. As we’ve seen, though, Brett Favre is nuts.

Just got back from the game
Kind of disappointing watching one of those just out of reach games. LMA looked good in the first half, made some good moves towards and under the basket, sort of reverted to last year’s LMA in the second half though. Wesley Matthews continues to impress, brings a lot of energy off the bench. Kind of like Bayless with some self-control. I noticed there wasn’t a feeling of certainty about what our guys wanted to do, seemed like our offense was not running at all (NATE!), though the ref’s made sure neither team had any fluidity. Just a grinder, not fun to watch. Hopefully we look a little better come the regular season, did not like seeing our starters getting jobbed by Utah’s bench, I mean C’MON!!!!!

you should rub your holes with alcohol or peroxide.

I’ve had my ears pierced 3 or 4 times because I kept letting them close up. Ripping earrings out is no fun.
ouch!
That has never happened to me. That sounds awful.
I got one ear pierced when i was twelve, then my second when I was 18.
I was pretty little when I had to have them ripped out so I screamed.
My parents had to pin me down. So dumb.
I’ve been good about wearing earrings now so they don’t close up. It’s more fun that way cause you can buy lots of them.
wait
i don’t understand. Are you saying your pieced holes closed up with the earring in your ear? How does that work? You never took them out or somthing?

its kind of a mish mash
the league is split up in 6 divisions, and some of the major universitys have teams in it, but then so do the sporting academies, and thats interwoven with regional teams, the unis and the academies dont pay their players, but the regional teams do.

Patty played for the Australian Institute of Sport
which i was involved with at a junior level, and I played against him and a few others in inter conference play.
why do you play for free when you get paid
The uni and the academy guys are trying to get overseas contracts, or to try and get into the US Collage system. So they get good players going to them

The "PURE PG" blast makes the criticism seem directed toward Jerryd Bayless.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
That's true
I think it’s fair to say he hit Nate, Dre and Jerryd with that statement.

I doubt he targeted Andre Miller, who's more reserved than anything.
As I see it, the “lower characters” dig was also a shot at Jerryd Bayless.
"Some things you can't unsee, bro." (The League)
That would be surprising to me
I can’t think of anything Bayless has done that would classify him as a lower character. He’s a private school kid who is well spoken and doesn’t get out of trouble.
I think there is a perception (especially among those who listen to Quick’s opinion, ironically) that Dre is a questionable character. I disagree. Like you, I think he is merely reserved, but some people have tried to spin that in a negative way.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
To me, Jerryd Bayless seems arrogant with his on-court behavior ...
