Called Out Junk - 12-12-2010

PrintSo it's time to start breaking the rules.
The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts.. with a goal to foster community and people have really become a family here. So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here.
The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:As you try and navigate through the junk drawer, please wear pants or at least make it seem like you are..
- Imagine fewer images, and the JD will move as one.
- No, really, stay off my lawn.
- Personal attacks and swearing will NEVER be tolerated
- Mentioning of anything is not allowed unless it's to say that it belongs in an 'anything forum'.
- Try not and be annoying about everything; my head hurts.
- Don't use the JD to call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
If you are interested in learning more about BEdge slang, you can consult the wikipage.
hidden word of the daze: ephebophile
One of the most important rules of the JD is to not "use the JD to call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads." Now, I'm not sure if that means we can or cannot call out users in the JD thread (or even a past JD thread) but I'm going to assume not and declare that I'm here to break this rule. I'm calling BEdgas out!
I'm calling out DTL & 323
via www.gifninja.com
For keeping their expectations for the game low enough.
I'm calling out ictoagsn who apparently has committed BEdgecide but whose willingness to openly express his beliefs reglardless of their popularity in a respectful manner made me appreciate him when religious debates would popup.
I'm calling out BRP for going uppity and flying first-class everywhere!
I'm calling out Ash and Roybot for having this conversation.
I'm calling out faith for making ANOTHER THREAD go bold. Nice one, buddy! ;P
And, especially, I'm calling out YOU for actually reading this JD.
PS If you have a problem with me calling (or not calling) someone out, then maybe you should EMAIL SOMEONE 'bout it.

To call you and your ugly mug out for not calling me out.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."

I’m going to bed early tonight but I thought I’d call you out first.
When is the SA game, I can’t find it on TV

For future reference, "ugly mug" is a term of endearment.
So, by definition that would make it safe for family viewing.
But far be it from me to confess to this.

I wrote you a poem a little after you wife died.
But my presence got kinda scarce around here and I never found an opportune time to give it to you.

I’d love to read that. I tried to write a poem at the 6month anniversary at the beginning of October (time, really, does fly) in honor of her, but it didn’t quite come together entirely.
She'll be right.
I should back up, I never wrote it down.
But I went over it enough times I think I can come close to reproducing it.
I’ll try to get it on paper in the next week. There are some lines I’m certain i remember 100 percent..

hah! I've done that a lot
and I look forward to that! Lots of BEdgas deserve a call out for being supportive to me, and I never forget. Also, any chance you might make it to a BEdge event someday?
But, for now, enjoy your sleep and good luck on being able to record the game! I’m going to go read and maybe get another nap in before the game. Hard.life.
She'll be right.
I think this was it. Obviously it’s from a standpoint of loss.
tinge of blood in my eye
I find a way
a tear, a drop
in rooms I hear a voice
its not there
I scream
numbness leads me home
I walk in
she is my lover
I lay there with her
it begins to rain
time plays back
plays on, plays over
I wish like hell it would rain

I hope it’s up before I leave tomorrow, because I don’t think I’ll be home at game time, and i need to record it.

I heard people complaining about this too.
Maybe if you’re cable boxy thing updates in the early morning hours (mine does at 6) then you will see it then. It’s definitely pregame as 12 and game at 12:30 on CSN

hope so, I’d hate miss seeing SA go down.

And thanks for the call out
I could have spent awhile calling out lots of people, and you would definitely be one of those people. But I decided to just be quick about it since the power-crazed mods are looking for blood anyway, and my head might be on a pike by gametime — warning future revolutionaries.

I'm reading old magazines, particularly TIME. And I'm calling out Charltes Krauthammer.
I bet he wishes he could take back this prognosis. Though to his credit, I have another news magazine that wrote a similar article with a “why worry, America is the lone superpower and there is nothing else to challenge it – peace on earth for all” e.g. mentioning Islamist movements with a half-sentence 3 years later.
“America Rules: Thank God. Who else should call the shots? China? Iran? The Russian Mafia?

I thought about quitting, but I will keep up the fight. Toying with homer drapes-loving sheep will only bring awareness to the anti-suit-for-tall-thin-men cause. Someone needs to keep you all in check; besides, it is fun to be the downer.

A friend of mine is memorizing this

It's pretty cool besides being all ameri-focused

She'll be right.
It seems like it.
I am sure there are always people who don’t uphold it, and there are probably parts to it that are a bit abstract to be able to verify how well people uphold them. But these principles seem much more common amongst the young farmer-types. I think the amount of work that goes along with that life has a beneficial impact on their ability to maybe hold to something like this better. My friend seems committed to learning them.
She'll be right.
Babbitt was only 7 for 20 from the field in his 3rd game, but was 2-5 on threes and 7 for 7 from the line.
23 points, 9 boards, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 2 blocks +9
Idaho lost to Utah by 7.
2-8 fgs; 1-4 on threes; 0-0 on fours; 1-4 on fts
8 points, 8 rebounds (4 offensive), 1 assist, 1 blk, 2 tos… but +10 (!)
Luke Jackson was 2-9 from the field but almost had a triple double (9/9/7). Seth Tarver had 16 (6-12 fgs). Salim Stoudamire was 1-6 from the field and none of those attempts were threes.
Orien Greene had 20/10 a/7 r for Utah and Kevin Krueger had 25.
0-0 on fours

it's a fox game
they are having it on Fox in the NY and MN markets, but not elsewhere, so sports bar it is.
yeah, that’s what I’ve been hearing. Thankfully I’ve got a bit of a rapport with the workers/owner of my local sports bar already so I should be able to make sure they get the game on. What a crazy week for the Giants

Harry Bosch: "Everybody counts....or nobody counts."
the tottenham goalie heurelho gomes had an interesting day
they were up 1-0 and basically in charge of the game. Chelsea punt it forward with no real intent—Drogba drills it right at his face and he lets it in. In the last minute of the game, he just flattens a guy who has no chance of getting the ball and concedes a penalty. Which he then saves. 1-1.

college football is essentially over by the time the weather gets really crappy, and most big teams are in pretty temperate climates, so I have a hard time counting that as a bonus for the college game.

the stadiums are all the same as well
maybe that’s what you’re referring to. Also, outside a few teams (Packers, Bills, Steelers, maybe the Eagles), it really doesn’t matter where NFL teams are located because there’s no connection between the team and the city. Would it make any difference if the titans played in Birmingham or the bucs played in San Antonio? It’s a made for TV product, which is cool but also incredibly depressing.
Came across this picture in an old sports magazine accompanying an interview with Cindy and Shaq. Pretty funny.
They also have pictures where they cuddle with each other’s biceps, and the interview is pretty good too. Magic Johnson called Shaq “mean and evil” (must have been an early version of him), he liked to watch The Incredible Hulk and The Waltons as a kid, …
Did they date each other?

A/V Question
i want to augment my TV sound with two speakers I have.
I have a speaker wire-to-RCA cable ready to go, but I was warned by some pushy dude at an AV shop that hooking up speakers to the TV would not only result in low audio output to the speakers (as the signal will not be hot enough) but could short out part of the TV.
Any advice?
Will be in Oregon late Dec-early Jan.
http://year5000.bandcamp.com
The dude at the AV shop is right about the sound levels
You need something that will send power to the speakers. The AV-outs in the back of your TV will only give line-level output, typically to a receiver.
What you need to use speakers is an amp or a receiver. Plug the TV into the receiver, and it’ll push the speakers properly.
You can get an old receiver for pretty cheap used, if you just want to push sound to two speakers.
On the other hand, I have no first-hand experience on whether this would actually do any damage to your TV if you plugged it in.
thanks man.
That’s kinda what I figured.

No chance
Most Knicks fans see a trade as unnecessary – they all just want to sign him. I think it makes sense to get him now and lock him into that deal with the CBA stuff going on. They shouldn’t have to give up much though – Randolph or more likely the pick they get for Randolph, Gallo or Chandler and maybe Douglas should do it. That way Denver has a replacement for Melo, a backup for Lawson when they move Chauncey and a decent future 1st.
haha, and now the Knicks will only be offering a second round pick.

There might be a good one left later in the draft
I’m curious if Luck stays at Stanford. I think it depends on what Harbaugh does.
I don't think he will
He saw how much staying cost Locker, I don’t think he will risk dropping out of the #1 spot.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I agree
But he did mention wanting to get his Stanford degree. In the end, I think it’d be dumb of him to stay.
He can do that during the off-season
Whereas I think James (similar situation with 2 years potentially left) will stay since he’s projected as a 2nd/3rd round pick, Luck won’t.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
And I think a good bowl game will get Locker back into the mid-first round
Still a big drop, but it will make it a lot less regrettable

Dirk is a good one
Amare still turns it over too much for me and Westbrook and Rose are much the same. I’d go with Dwight and Dirk as 1 and 2. I always like to consider where teams would be without them – in both cases their teams would be screwed.
And I assume Amare is still horrid on D

Today was “Are you for real Sunday”
Answer: Pats, Falcons, Bucs, Saints, yes, Bears, Jets, Packers, etc. no.

I wouldn’t discount the Packers from this game. They lost Aaron Rodgers for the entire second half and Greg Jennings made a horrendous mistake that led to a pick instead of a TD. If they get Rodgers back in time for next Sunday, they’re in good shape all over again.

with Jake's loss today, I'd still make it if I outscore him in season points next week.
But I have faith that Arian, Adrian, Miles, Eli, and Neil can get 42 points. That’s only 8 per.

If the Cowboys win they will be tied for last place in the NFC East with Washington. My goal for the Redskins’ season was to not finish in last place in the East. GO EAGLES!!!

the advanced metrics ranked him as the best QB in 2009.
He played the toughest QB schedule since 93 last year.
He's back to proving that he is without a doubt a HOF-quality QB
He was always pretty good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Where is the Manning/Brady debate nowadays?
My mate is a Colt’s fan so I always used to rib him about Brady being a champ
Manning is the better QB
I think this season shows that, he keeps losing all his receivers and is still pretty good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
He had an awful run this year (Saw a big article on it at some point)
It’s an interesting winning vs. stats argument
They're both headed to the HOF of course
So it doesn’t much matter.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Really?
I always thought Manning put up the better numbers. Are there a lot of advanced stats for football? I though the raw stats encapsulated a QBs contribution pretty well.
you have to account for receivers, the line, the running game, and strength of schedule.
plus INTs that come at the end of a half hail mary situation, etc. FootballOutsiders is terrific.
That makes sense
I’m was the definition of a casual football fan a few years back. Now I’m just horribly misinformed. I like watching Michael Vick play though – that is about it.
the FO numbers are really easy to understand.
They are basically synergy for football; a logger watches each game and tallies their own stats, since the NFL’s are so unreliable. They also have their own stats they keep an eye on, and they make sure to count pass interference yards.
Sounds good
If Vick continues to be awesome I might get into it more next season. I’ll look them up if I do.
they're both HOF QBs with a SB victory (more for Brady, obviously)
in the end, does it really matter if one is slightly better than the other?

Not sure if posted yet here but supposedly Melo' now saying he will only sign an extension for the Knicks.
It must be fun to be a NY fan right now. Things are looking up for them. I’m okay with that, too. Melo and Amare would be a tough frontcourt duo.

I wonder why the Knicks would bother trading for him at this point. They’re playing well without him, and could add him in the offseason for a cheaper contract and without giving any young players up

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

He would certainly get paid less per season with a free agent contract under the old or new CBA

There also is the fact that I'm not sure what the Knicks would give up that the Nugs would want
Would they take the stink of Curry’s contract?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
If ’Melo is leaving no matter what, they pretty much have to take whatever the Knicks offer, right?
If you're not careful, Andre Miller can really sneak up on you
Probably
The Nugs need to blow it up. They’re old.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
meh
Melo and K-Mart are expiring anyway, so it’s already pretty much blown up without doing anything at all. I’d say one more exciting playoff run is worth more than the Knicks can offer in the young talent department (some combo or Randolph/Gallo/Landry Fields?).
the knicks had better get a tough defensive center to cover for Amare
I wonder if Felton is for real or just having a fluke season.

O story on return of NBA to Seattle
The “Bring the New Orleans Hornets to Seattle” Facebook page went up even before the NBA officially announced that it will purchase the franchise from owner George Shinn.
In one week, the page has drawn more than 8,000 members who want a NBA team back in Seattle. The city lost the SuperSonics in 2008, when owner Clay Bennett moved the team to Oklahoma City and the team became the Thunder.
“Ever since the Hornets news came out, the buzz has just been huge as far a people on the street talking about possibly having a team again, taking about Chris Paul,” Seattle resident Adam Brown, who produced the movie “Sonicsgate” about the Sonics’ departure, said Sunday. “I think that’s ultimately what it takes to get it done in Seattle, just to have the overwhelming buzz.”

I think I'll call those "Old School Burgers"
the kind you find at old drive-ins, or fountains, or bars that have been making burgers for longer than twenty years. Stanich’s, the Giant, Helvetia tavern et al. The burgers you are talking about are what happens when a chef makes a burger, and spends a little more time thinking about it than ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickle.

True to an extent, but the quality of the meat has a lot to do with it.
Foster Burger is an old-school style of burger, greasy and un-fancy, but is among the best I’ve had due to the amazing quality of the burger itself. Getting local, fresh, organic beef to me is more important to the quality than the other stuff.

I'd totally agree with that too
I make one with organic buffalo, a lemon aioli, extra sharp cheddar and garam masala ketchup that would blow your mind though. Sometimes it’s okay to get fancy.

As long as it is produced from a good quality farm foie is no crueler than any other farm raised animal.
Sure, there are houses of horrors out there that produce foie, but that’s true for the entire meat industry. Local, quality foie farms have free range organic ducks that are healthy and happy. It is a delicacy after all, that comes with a high price tag. Quality farms nowadays know that one key to producing good meat is to lower stress levels.
Also, the force-feeding itself isn’t nearly as bad most think it is. Ducks don’t choke on the column used to feed them, as they breathe through their tongue, not a larynx like people. As a result they don’t have a gag reflex. Another discrepancy from humans that ducks have is the storing of fat in the liver. Yes, an engorged fatty liver would be poisonous in humans, but in a duck it’s just like a potbelly on a human; a normal place to store fat. It’s normal for them to have fatty livers.

I think Cloudy might say that the worst thing that could happen to the 49ers would be to make the playoffs at 7-9 and look just good enough to give Singletary another year and Alex Smith another shot at the longterm starting gig at QB.
Here's how I expect it plays out these next few weeks.

biggest difference comes in managing the pitching staff, but I think the general consensus is that the difference between a great manager and a bad one is a couple games a year.

Dave Cameron at USSMariner likes it; that’s usually a good sign. Sound like he forsees Ackley starting the year in the minors with Ryan at 2B and Wilson at SS, and then either making Ryan a utility guy (or the SS if Wilson is traded or hurt) once Ackley hopefully forces his way into the major league lineup.
hmm
i figured they’d just trade Lopez before the season and let Ackley learn on the job.

problem with that is service time.
You have to pay him a lot sooner for those two months early in their rookie year. The wise thing is to play it like the Giants did with Posey.
the Mariners don't lack offense, they lack talent.
Ryan’s projected WAR is better than Lopez, Figgins, and Wilson(s) combined for last year.
A run saved is a run scored, and they gave up very little to get him.

it's about run differential.
The team is awful right now. They don’t get the luxury of saying “you’re not the right type of shortstop” after losing 101 games.
Their offense will be a lot better just by regression. An amazing number of guys were all brutal at the same time.
also
Besides Tulowitzki and Hanley, who are the great offensive shortstops? Besides his wrist-plagued 2010, he’s not a bad offensive shortstop by any means. He’s a 2-2.5 WAR player at average, and that’s an incredible steal for less than 2 million. By the market rates of this summer, he would’ve gotten 10 million.
i would say yes.
but a great defense always makes a pitcher, even a great pitcher, look better.

I'm not sure.
The images fresh in my mind are Lee getting murdered by Vlade and Murphy in the WS.
Considering all the pitch to contact guys on the Ms staff and the size of Safeco, defense is very important. Particularly for a cash-strapped team like the Ms.
the giants were OK starting pat burrell, pablo sandoval, and jose guillen quite a bit this year. but they have a couple premier strikeout pitchers.

"ok"
what are the bounds for ok? If you replaced Burrell with Carl Crawford, it would save a whole bunch of runs.
this is not analysis.
The Lakers won the NBA title. They “got by” with Derek Fisher. If you have a lot of good players, you can have less good players elsewhere.

the giants won 85+ games and won the world series, therefore starting a couple terrible fielders was not a very large hindrance to their pitching staff.
Super Rodgers Bros.
#20
I disagree with your use of therefore.
It could’ve been a massive difference, right? We don’t know. What we do know is that they were able to overcome it. But they would’ve been better with better fielders. If Burrell was a worse hitter, but a spectacular defender, I don’t think they’d be any worse of a team.
but they won the title, which is the ultimate goal of any team anywhere.
anyways, jake’s question was:
Is having a great defense less important if you have a great pitching staff?
as the SF Giants of twenty oh ten showed: if you have a great pitching staff, you can overcome shoddy defense. thus, it is NOT as important to have a great defense if you have a great pitching staff
Super Rodgers Bros.
#20
Correlation is not causation.
You’re not showing any logical path that proves it’s less important. You have an outcome, and a beginning; a line can’t be drawn through the middle.
I would accept the argument that defense becomes less important as fewer balls are hit in play. I don’t accept the argument that defense isn’t important because the Giants won with some subpar defenders (and some great performances by Torres and co.)
Yeah, they never seemed to really pay for having Burrell and Guillen out there. Torres ran everything down in the gaps and the other guys made the routine plays, albeit often looking very unsure doing so. I think the Giants were fortunate not to lose a couple games on crappy D. Ironically, it was Cody Ross who made the most memorable outfield D blunder.
Burrell also seemed to have ridiculously good timing on his HRs in the regular season, that was another element of luck.
so i was bowling
someone wanna inform me about the game?

Did you end up doing a pumpkin cheesecake?
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I'm still working out the recipe conversion.
Also, most of my family in the area who would help me eat it are away. I’ll probably do a test pumpkin cheesecake muffin or something next Sunday and, if it works or seems like it will work, I’ll make a real one for Christmas Eve.
She'll be right.
I've made it a bunch of times, adapting from my family cheesecake recipe
The big thing to keep in mind is how much more time it takes to bake. Almost twice as much time, depending on how much pumpkin stuff you add.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
ya this makes sense.
My marble cheesecake needs to bake longer than the normal one too. I bet the pumpkin would be more.
Do you go for a light pumpkin swirl or lots of pumpkin in yours?
She'll be right.
I've done it both ways
And it’s good regardless of whether I add a lot or a little pumpkin. Right now, I think I’m digging on not adding too much, so it’s more cheesy, with just a little pumpkin accent. For the pumpkin, I add stuff that is exactly the same as pumpkin pie. So if you’re getting premade canned stuff, use whatever amount plus the proper ratio of eggs.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I'll probably go premade for my cupcake experiments.
Maybe I’ll make a couple with different ratios. The lighter way sounds good, although I bet it’d be good both ways. Do you blend it or “marble” it?
She'll be right.
I've just blended it
And I’ve done it both with fresh and canned pumpkin. I didn’t notice a difference, so now I just use canned.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
sweet
then i’mma try one dtm-style with light canned pumpkin blended into the cheese and also try one idol-style (if it works) with light-to-medium canned pumpkin “marbled” into the cheese.
I’ll take pics and relay the experience
She'll be right.
Awesome
The marbling sounds like a great idea. It could look super cool. I’ve never really considered it. My style is more to beat the hell out of things, were marbling sounds a little delicate for me.
We should bring in more scrub big men; they make good curse fodder.
I'd totally think the same (about it being too delicate for me)
But I got really good at marbling the chocolate in those marbled chocolate cheesecakes. Thinking it over, the consistency difference might make a pure marbling harder with pumpkin than it is with chocolate, so I’d probably marble like a 9:1 pumpkin-to-cheese with straight cheese. That could work beautifully.
She'll be right.

I really liked the large amount of vanilla in the cookie, and the fact that the inside had the right amount of gooey to the right amount of crispy around the edge.
I’ve never seen a recipe with melted butter, usually it’s creamed into the sugar. Of course, you have to kind of undercook it too, and they are really best served warm.

(I just moved All my bigs out of my lineup cos I was up by a tiny amount in FT% and hoped that Jamison didn’t make many and didn’t block shots. It turned out OK.)
And far enough back in points that I was willing to throw it
If that’d been close I probably would’ve gotten greedy, then lost both.
anyone tryin to take a shot on chris kaman?

FOTC is awesome
The talking stoves bit may be my favourite scene, no clue why but it cracks me up every time.
if i’m having a really terrible day, I pop that episode in the dvd player, or I at least watch that scene on youtube
Still on the Greg Oden bandwagon. "Whenever I feel like I can compete with the best."
Fair enough
Who you got for points and assists? I’d break the bank for Curry (Horford plus stuff) but I’m guessing he along with Gordon are untouchable
actually, the only guy I won't give up is K Love
who else is gonna put up 30 rebounds in a game?
#52
Yeah
He’s a fantasy monster, apart from the FG%.
Right then, lets do a deal for Curry. Who does you heart most desire from my roster (other then Rondo or Dwight)
ha, I was about to say
there was a jump from when we were talking about Horford+ then about Manu. I was like….wut
#52
I'm happy with a deal based around either
But in either case the + ain’t gonna be much. Both Manu and Horford have been better than Curry and less injury prone so I’d be banking on Curry getting better.
You wanna do a 2 for 2 deal or a 2 for 1?
Well if we do Horford for Curry
Then I can give you something average and I can get something crappy like…..Lou or whoever you don’t like.
man, the rest of your lineup is awful though
What about
Curry and Duncan + something
for
Manu and Horford
#52
My lineup is AWESOME
Thank you very much!
I’m not keen on giving up Manu and Horford together. You don’t have a combo that would make me do that I don’t think.
Outside of Curry there really isn’t anyone that interests me on your roster. Only junky throw ins ; )
I hadn't looked at Gordon's season averages
because I was surprised by how many assists he’s getting. Shoot, he’s almost at Roy’s level from two season ago with the 23/5/5
#52
Meh to all of those guys apart from Nash
You are doing well though, so props to you. I just like players I can root for.
I'm only new to it
I’m sure I’ll become more ruthless in time.
We done talking turkey? Think faster!
oh, are you still waiting for a response to the Gordon idea?
Horford isn’t strong enough in blocks, which is a category I’d like to improve in. What if you throw in Calderon?
#52
Well I junked categories
So I just don’t worry about 3’s or FT%, at least until now. They are pretty good in both.
Still think Dwight and Rondo have been better for me in terms of guaranteeing cats
Indeed
I’m pretty darn strong in 4 categories, just need to strengthen steals and make myself competitive in points and I’ll be OK.
Stuckey might be up your alley then
He’s good on points and assists plus he’ll get at least 1 steal/game.

haha, I even slept through my first 4 picks on accident
I wouldn’t have drafted Nash, but rather Gasol.
On the other hand, since Horford went before my 3rd pick, I probably still would have gone with Al Jeff.
And instead of Duncan I would have either gone with Noah (yes!) or Collison (no!).
#52
Oh yeah
I wouldn’t have taken him where I did if we re-drafted. He has become more of an off-guard in Indy, which sucks.
I was expecting double the assists but luckily Rondo picked up the slack.
ha, yeah, I remember you waking up and being upset with your alarm. Nash is very very good in a non turnover league.

I recently watched a documentary about some guy who was a fairly unsuccessful worked, until one day he discovered he really was the reincarnation of Jesus. Then he set out and built a feudal home somewhere in the Russian taiga from donations, and lives there now with some of his disciples. What I like about his religious interpretations is that he thinks “trinity” means a man living with 2 women, and unlike some other religious leaders he doesn’t keep all women for himself but thinks that’s something all his followers should do. Allegedly there is no envy and cheating since it helps a greater good. Founding a religion sounds like a safer way to find some gullible people than founding a company selling crappy products in infomercials (and that’s pretty easy).

Not sure if this got discussed, but in Sweden a terrorist has gotten further than the one trying to attack in Portland
He tried to blow himself up on the famous Christmas market and crowded shopping street Drottninggatan but didn’t quite make it there though he was in the middle of a lot of people. He had six pipe bombs strapped to his body, and more explosives and shrapnel in his backpack, but constructed very amateurish so only 1 exploded and he only injured 2 others lightly but killed himself. The attacker has Iraqi heritage, lived in Luton in England and studied at Bedfordshire University. And he seems to have acted alone though he claimed in a letter to have been trained for Jihad. No screening would have ever found him with that bio.

Every program violates the rules
The only question is how much.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
What is better in two players who score about the same amount
41% 3pt shooting on 4 attempts/game who shoots 76% on 5 FTA/game or a guy shooting 87% on 10 FTA/game and 27% on 1 3pt shot/game.
No prizes for guessing who I’m talking about.
if we're talking fantasy
3 point percentage doesn’t matter just overall percentage. I’d say a guy getting to the line that much is more valuable than a guy hitting 3s. Of course, your team specifically wouldn’t benefit much from a good FT shooter because of Rondo and Dwight.
#52
Not fantasy, just looking at two players who are pretty similar in everything but those two things
You copped out on out trade talks earlier though. What’s with that?
hmm
I thought I responded to the Eric Gordon one by asking for a little extra something something
#52
well I certainly don't need TWO bigs
I explained earlier that because Horford doesn’t get many blocks it’s hard to give up my guys. I’m trying to shore up blocks.
#52
yore top guys are good, but you won't let me trade for them
it’s the guys that qualify for + status in a trade
#52
Calderon is pretty good
The trade I offered is pretty good for me. Considering cancelling it really. I do like Curry though.
Maybe
It’s fun to mix things up. I’d like some new blood too but it really depends on how much you value Curry vs Manu.
I'd say that's pretty even
it’s the Gordon vs. Hibbert thing
Can I have Horford but with Hibbert’s blocks?
#52
Collison scores more and could improve
Calderon assists more and could get more minutes.
Take your pick.
it's more of a concern of fit
I’m not getting the right combination of FG% and blocks for what I’m giving up in other cats
#52
Let me guess
Dwight would fit? : )
Manu and Calderon are similar to Curry and Gordon FG% wise. I guess Hibbert is bad in that regard for a pivot – his blocks, assists and rebounds make up for it though.
jeez magnum
just buy madblaze’s car, or whatever he is trying to sell
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I'm trying to sell him on a good deal
That could end up bad for me. I don’t know what I’m up to.
I just wanna make a trade already!
hahaha
He would fit nicely and I might be the only team that could take him on and not punt FT%.
Horford has the huge boost in FG% I’m looking for, but Hibbert has the blocks. Considering I’m not giving up one of my awful shooters (like Danilo) as part of the trade, I’m not gaining ground in FG%
#52
Well I get what you're saying
I’m giving up a lot in blocks and rebounds to get some scoring and steals though so in the end you have to give something to get something.
I know I have to give something to get something
but I don’t think I was coming away with enough of what I wanted compared to how much I was giving up.
On pure talent, I think we were close on a lot of trades, I just don’t think the categories were shaking out right.
#52
Still don't really
Only getting two more assists and half a steal for two blocks, 7 rebounds and worse FG%
I think it's overrated
A player who reliably scores inside and from mid-range is more valuable. Jordan was not a good three point shooter, and the best ever. Especially I would never take a Blake-style point guard over one who can score, slash and pass.
A lot of championship teams have had floor spreading PGs
I don’t think it’s as important if the PG is your primary scorer or in a Jordan/Kobe style SG. I’d just rather have the guy who can hit a three.
Is he not playing much in NY
What about giving the Bulls Rudy for a 1st then getting Asik for the exception?
You know who would fit into our system and into our exceptions? J.J. Barea
I don’t like him on the Mavs, but on the Blazers…
They wouldn't give him up would they?
Why do you think he works?? Not the best 3pt shooter or defensive player.
He is one of the most annoying players ever

There really isn't much on the market that fits into our exceptions. Even Acie Law would have been worth a thought.
Not many cheap and quality backup PGs in the NBA right now. Even someone like Sessions is too pricey.

Make that half his salary plus 100k of course
And unlike T4L had said before, it can’t be combined with other exceptions, though you could split trades up into multiple transactions like the Hornets and Raptors did. But not to say combine the exceptions from Jerryd and Greg for one player who makes $5.5 million. Each player has to fit into the exception he is traded into, similar like with the MLE.
Right, I didn't even notice that you hadn't said half
That’s the part that’s a given. I didn’t realize it could be split, though. That’s interesting, although probably not too useful.

One of the few teams who could indeed absorb Iggy's AND Brand's salary like the Sixers want are the Mavs
And without just sending trash back (e.g. a Terry, Stevenson, Chandler or Butler, pick combo)
I'm pretty sure to win a title he would do a lot
Paying Brand for a few more years and maybe 1 when Dirk has retired and they are rebuilding wouldn’t be the worst thing. Heck, he has paid bums like Matt Carroll (though that bad penny is now back in Charlotte) and Diop before, and Dampier for years.
True
Iggy might put them over the top if the deal is good, but if they lose Terry and Chandler then they aren’t really getting anywhere.
I think that's a good point.
Chandler is super important for them. I love Iggy, but I think a center is generally more importnat than a wing.

Yeah, Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood will be important for postseason success.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Actually I would love to have Brand as Dirk's backup over guys like Cardinal and Novak
And it would even be a bit of an insurance policy if a big guy has to miss a couple of games or a playoff round
No I would prefer to give up Butler in such a deal
It’s hard to say what Philly really wants to achieve, but the best they could probably hope for is finding anyone who can use Iggy and Brand and give them flexibility and decent players. Denver might give them Melo for Iggy, but they want no Brand, they rather want to get rid of K-Mart in a Melo deal. Stevenson expires, Butler expires, Terry has another year left after this one though I think it’s an option.
Dallas could settle on absorbing Andres Nocioni's contract.

Oh, and if the Philadelphia 76ers demand to get Roddy Beaubois rather than J.J. Barea as a part of that package, then fine.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
The Dallas Mavericks shouldn't trade Jason Terry, who fills a much-needed role for that team.

Gallo, Chandler and Amare have all been better. Not many minutes unless he plays the 4 and Amare plays the 5.
yeah, but he just seems so D’Antoni regardless of who is in front of him
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I think they should trade Chandler and Gallo to get Melo
Keep Randolph and go with Felton/Fields/Melo/Randolph/Amare just for how much fun that would be to watch.
Nah, the New York Knicks should keep Danilo "Peja, Jr." Gallinari for his floor spacing.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2dknr24
The Denver Nuggets would also get the future conditional draft pick(s) New York currently owes to Houston, which should end up being conveyed as a 2012 first-rounder.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
I want entertainment, not logic.
A Randolph/Amare frontcourt would be amusing. I could care less if they win.
I'd rather watch an offensively potent, yet defensively overmatched Amar'e ...
Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony frontline, with Danilo Gallinari rounding out the frontcourt. They’d be doomed to fail in the playoffs, though.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
You'd need to swap Walker for Fields there if you want the Nuggets to do it IMO
The PR hit from that trade would be worse than if they just lose Melo for nothing. Chandler is having an aberration of a year so you can’t sell that and the Knicks pick from the Rockets isn’t looking that valuable.
What leverage does Denver have here?
None, not one bit of leverage whatsoever.
If New York wants to keep Danilo Gallinari and Landry Fields, then it’ll do it.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
It does depending on whether you believe Melo will actually give up that extension willingly
Denver controls whether the Knicks get Melo guaranteed til 2015 or have to sign him with CBA related nonsense in the background.
Denver isn’t leverageless and there is pride involved. They won’t just give Melo up for crap, which is what that offer is.
New York dealing Denver an unprotected 2017 first-rounder ought ...
to seal the deal, as that’d give the Nuggets a long-term asset to have in its back pocket to go along with the projected 2012 first-rounder.
Don’t forget the cash considerations, luxury tax savings this season, or dumping the last two-and-a-half years of Renaldo Balkman’s contract, either.
Plus, if the Nuggets want to slash more of its upcoming luxury tax bill, it could try to dump J.R. Smith — while packaging him with the projected 2012 first-rounder from the Knicks — on a team that’s under the salary cap like the Sacramento Kings.
http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=5763168
Oh, and unless the Nuggets foolishly believe that it’s got an outside chance at winning the NBA Championship this season, then it should move Anthony — by any means necessary — and also try to cut costs from this season’s bloated payroll.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
Do you think Melo really is going to take a cut in pay?
I think he’s semi-bluffing and I think Denver and the Knicks both know it.
Everyone would prefer that he goes to the Knicks now, especially the Knicks.

Yes, I think he wants to go to New York that badly.

I say he signs, whether he gets traded or not
Then continues to try and force his way to NY. In the end, it’s all about the moolah.
At the latest, Carmelo Anthony joins New York post-lockout ...
via a sign-and-trade deal. Come hell or high water, he will be a Knickerbocker.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
For the Denver Nuggets, getting Landry Fields wouldn't fill the hole of losing ...
a high-volume scorer like Carmelo Anthony. Anyway, the New York Knicks could also include an unprotected 2017 first-round draft pick and $3,000,000 in cash considerations to sweeten the pot.
Anyhow, here’s how the lineups would look after such a trade.
NEW YORK
Amar’e Stoudemire (38 m.p.g.)
Carmelo Anthony (38 m.p.g.)
Danilo Gallinari (38 m.p.g.)
Landry Fields (38 m.p.g.)

Anthony Carter (0 m.p.g.)
Eddy Curry (Inactive)
Chris Andersen (Inactive)

"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
PR is important in trades
Fields has been a revelation and is something Denver can sell to its fanbase as a good return. Simple as that.
The thought of Landry Fields being marketable to the casual Denver ...
fan is a joke. From a PR standpoint, the Nuggets trading Carmelo Anthony will incur a backlash—no matter the return for him.
That’s why keeping Chauncey BIllups through this season is necessary if Anthony is dealt to New York.
Now, if the Nuggets looked to go all-out in cutting future costs after trading Anthony, I’d suggest something like trading Kenyon Martin, Al Harrington, and Chris Andersen — while waiving Eddy Curry and Melvin Ely — to the Golden State Warriors for Dan Gadzuric, Vladimir Radmanovic, Brandan Wright, Ekpe Udoh, and Rodney Carney.

That, meanwhile, wouldn’t be pretty, but such is the case with dismantling a roster in preperation to rebuild it.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
It's about value AK
Perception is important when it comes to trades. Fields has good stats – even casual fans look at raw stats. It’s not rocket science.
Not saying it will drive ticket sales but it’s better than just getting Chandler for pete’s sake.
Is he really, though?
Under Mike D’Antoni, Anthony Randolph is too poor of both a mid-rangeand long-range jump shooter to play the 3. Plus, to the best of my knowledge, he doesn’t finish strong enough on the pick-and-roll to warrant playing any minutes behind Amar’e Stoudemire at the 4.
"They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory."
That might be true, but he just about broke his ankle last season.
He didn’t look right the last time I saw him play. Only the coaching staff knows for sure, but it seems like they would find him minutes, but maybe not.
Plus, Amare is in front of him. It’s not like they need him at PF.

Randolph combines being a malcontent with having no position, not playing defense and basically getting by on raw talent
I just don’t see it working with him, although I’d like to see a team try. It’d need to be a bad team though.
His defense is weird.
He seems like a great help defender and blocks a bunch of shots. He just isn’t a smart defender, but maybe that would improve with age. I don’t know, he looks like a different player depending on the day. Reminds me of Batum.
I also worry about him reportedly growing an inch. He was already skinny and a bit injury prone. It can’t be good for his body if he’s still getting longer.

The team has signed former Arsenal defender Kerrea (pronounced “Kerry”) Gilbert to a Major League Soccer contract.
The London-born Gilbert, 23, spent five years in the Arsenal system. The 5-foot-9 right halfback produced his best season during 2005-06, making nine Arsenal first-team appearances across all four competitions (FA Cup, Champions League, League Cup and EPL).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
yeah, I remember him from a few games. Arsenal is stacked at LB, so it’s not surprising they let him go. Kind of surprising a guy with that much potential didn’t get a permanent look in the Championship after all those loan spells though.
Well he'll certainly start here
That may have motivated him.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
there must be very few under 25 English players in MLS. Hopefully the change of scenery will do him good.
Yup
And to get one without having to use the designated player rule is very good too.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I would say being in FIFA ’09 is a more significant soccer resume than most of his teammates will probably have.
that game has the MLS teams in it, doesn’t it?
Not that anyone plays as the Columbus Crew when they could be ManU, but still.
I think the hard decision for an English player would be fourth division vs. MLS, because third division competition is probably relatively similar. So this tells me Gilbert had basically no interest from second division teams and minimal interest from the third division.
this is from 2006
The average basic annual Championship salary is now £195,750, up from £128,000 six years ago, or an increase of 53 per cent. The average in League One is now £67,850 (up from £54,600, or a rise of 24 per cent), and in League Two £49,600 (up from £38,800, up 28 per cent).
Obv. for Championship read 2nd division, League 1, 3rd Division, League 2, 4th Division.
So far more than you'd earn in the MLS even in League 2

It’s the fault of everyone who selects a flight based on price, then complains based on quality of service.
Everyone chooses on price, unless they're on planes often enough to know better.
And even then, unless they fly regularly, they won’t know what airlines offer better service for their dollar.
My personal view
Is every airline will piss you off at some point if you fly enough.
That being said, there are some airlines that definitely are better (e.g. Alaska and Japan Airlines) than others (United and ANA).

you don’t need first-hand experience to pay a bit more for better service/product. That’s how people buy cars/electronics/boats/a billion other things.

A flight that costs $100 one day will be $200 the next. How do you judge quality on price when the price changes daily?
Online reviews are useless in the service industry unless a service is absolutely awful. Hotels, Airlines, Restaurants. Everyone throws in a useless anecdotal review, and of course, their competitors are reviewing each other negatively too. That’s not getting into what Yelp did to affect their reviews.
I guess airlines are adding service on an al la carte basis by charging for emergency exit seats/coach + with extra legroom. But we whine about that too.
you are dang right I whine about that!!!!!!!
that used to be free, if I could get to the airport early enough. Now, I have to pay extra for being tall?
I am about to offend some people: Most overweight people can/should be able to solve the problem through excersize/watching their diet. Tall people can’t control their height.
That turns out to be illegal
Apparently its thankfully against international treaties and laws to charge people to use the bathroom on a flight.

Yeah the only way to get better service is to find an airline you trust in coach
Or get Business/First on the majority of airlines (which of course fixes the seat-recline problem too).
As someone once said online, everything in the airline industry changed the day the airlines stopped answering to their customers, and started only answering to their shareholders. Combined with the TSA, it turned flying into a chore very quickly.
9/11 changed a lot
Before then, I could for example look forward to a decent breakfast when I flew early morning from PDX to Denver and on to Des Moines on my way to get back to school.
After 9/11, free food among other things slowly disappeared.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Sounds to me like the US inter-continental market is especially crappy. Though new players like JetBlue in the low cost segment and Virgin America in the “normal” segment seem to have brought some service improvements again.
I of course disagree vehemently about Jetblue's "service" (as previously noted)
But indeed, I’ve seen very good service from Virgin America.
That’s the problem with travel reports as you said. A bad experience (weather, plane defect, bottom 10% employee, lost bag, …) ruins the whole trip and can happen to all but the best companies. Similar to about every product review on Amazon. You’ll always find the one guy whose electronic product was DOA and the guy who loved it for 5+ years.
Yep. Anecdotal reviews are actually counterproductive for an overall view.
People with one bad experience have the same influence as people with 50 good experiences.
I’m actually sad to have seen how poorly JetBlue handled customers when they made an error that left the customers in a lurch. We’ll make sure to pay more to another airline for service now… or more accurately, the illusion of service that may be broken the first time that airline leaves us in a lurch.
But all that being said, I’ll make sure to let everyone know for the next 10 years why they shouldn’t travel JetBlue. I’d love a survey service that only surveys people who had flight problems. The reviews will be low, but which airline will have the highest of the low reviews?
Mhm, kinda like J.C. Power for cars
They pretty much just look at which cars break down when/how often, not at “how nice is it to sit in your Lexus”.
Alaska is really nice
But they fly limited routes behind the NW.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
but aren't they answering to the customers?
flying is cheaper than it’s ever been. That’s what customers want. It was so cheap for a while that the airlines couldn’t afford to do it anymore, which is why they got rid of all the extras or started charging for them.
It's cheap because they found that removing services, removing flights, and making seats cheaper
Was more profitable. That’s answering to the stockholders.
I guess I generally see offering component parts of services a la carte as better for the customers. That way, the folks who pay for meals/legroom/checked bags subsidize those who just want the bare minimum.
And the food at least is better than it used to be
When it was free.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It's my right as a paying airline customer to bring discomfort to the vertically inclined, mwhahaha
But, seriously, that’s really annoying.
She'll be right.
they should make a way to deflate my seat-back, so I get a couple of more inches….or, maybe a way to lower the floor for my feet.
The most annoying seats are the ones
On trans-continental flights that have the in-flight entertainment equipment in a box under the seat in front of you, limiting your leg room further…
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
a better idea
put short folks in a row, then put a row of tall folks behind them, and then put another row of short folks behind them. Slide the first row of short folks forward a bit, and the row of tall folks back a bit – booyah.
But that is a far cry from 20% more space for 20% more money

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
my travel experience (first since 2006) this weekend was surprisingly good.
I didn’t get TSA-groped- in fact, we only saw one person total getting the pat down, and the TSA woman was apologizing the whole time. Phoenix was still apparently mostly using the metal detectors.
Our flight out of Portland was delayed, but we still made our connection in Salt Lake with 5 minutes to spare (whew!) The flight yesterday was actually early. Due to my decision to park in the covered lot, I was literally home 15 minutes after our plane was scheduled to land.
At 5’10", I still have decent leg room, and the people in front of me didn’t recline much. Finally, almost no kids on the planes. At one point, we were supposed to be next to an 8 month old, but there was an open seat behind us and they moved. That kid turned out to be shockingly well behaved anyway.
All in all, not bad.
Flying is still quite good
Or at least functional.
Sure there is the occasional problem but every airline I’ve dealt with (other than United) handles them well.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The TSA folks doing the patdowns are as unhappy as the folks getting them
They seem to be working hard on humors, apologies, and setting expectations well.

hmm, yeah it can’t be the median because there are 16 teams in the “bad D” half and 14 in the “good O” half so it must be the mean, which would make our position slightly out of date or based on different data than I was looking at (sometimes there are minor discrepancies due to slightly different formulas for estimating number of possessions) or just wrong (based on the mean we should be just barely into the Quadrant of Suck according to basketball-reference).

They haven’t had any updates yet? Are people still trying to reach them? It’s gotta be assumed it’s too late for them, right? :(

Oh they are long dead
Already had memorial services and all that. The coal seam was ignited by the 3rd or 4th explosion so the entire mine has been engulfed in flames for about 2 weeks now. It’s just about recover at this point.
Also, the mining company just went into receivership which means the families of the dead and the other workers from the mine are both likely to be screwed over.
They were assumed dead a couple weeks ago
It didn’t get nearly the press as the Chileans.
It is a big bummer.

Not nearly as marketable cos there were no pictures or videos or much of anything. No one knows what happened.

Too bad he only plays 15 mpg.
I never understood that logic, really. Sure, he makes mistakes and half his shots are moonshots, but at least he keeps the opposition scared. It’s not like Arshavin doesn’t take his share of stupid shots.
The cake was a lie.

Under an agreement with the Empire State Development Corp., the Nets’ new name must include either “Brooklyn” or “New York” in its name.

They already have terrible logo drafts too. But well, for OKC names like Bison, Wind and Energy where also in the running, and the generic logo still shows it. I sometimes think I see a jumping Bison. Maybe even one that is passing wind.
That would be by far the worst name in the NBA
Might as well go all out with the Brooklyn Hey, How You Doins?

yeah, he struggles. I remember early in his career- maybe his first year— he played amazing D for them against Utah in the playoffs (I think that was the year they were without both Yao and TMac or at least without one of them with the other hobbled)— just a series of amazing defensive plays. After that I’ve had trouble reconciling the mediocre defender he’s been throughout his career with what I saw in that series.
