So, there's a running argument the last few days thanks to a recent online article...

There are some of the opinion (I am among them) that The Simpsons took a noticeable upturn in quality again after the switch to HD episodes. I don’t know if it just re-energized them, or they got some fresh writers again, or what. But they’re much more re-watchable again (and improve with a second viewing), and the gem-to-dud ratio is noticeably improved. (Even in the worst years, there were some good ones, but the rest were, well, nevermind).

Any regular Simpsons watchers? Have you seen the recent episodes? Thoughts?

What year did the show jump the shark and what year are they on now?

isn’t jumping the shark kinda their thing?

by Name's Ash on Dec 19, 2010 7:22 PM PST up reply actions  

Various arguments state it jumped the shark between seasons 7 and 9.

It’s kind of like SNL, everyone has a different definition of what the good years are.

However, I actually like a good portion of season 11. The last of the early era, for me, is Behind the Laughter. I liked it a little later than many others.

Wasn't it "The Principal and the Pauper" episode when The Simpsons jumped the shark?

I'm not up to date, but to me they never jumped the shark

Then again, in the version I watch the most Marge got a better speaker to dub the voiceovers 2 seasons ago when the old one died. She’s closer to the English version, though I don’t really like some of the English voices especially for Homer ;)

I only liked the first 8 seasons then they seemed to get the same writers as Family Guy. But if it is not Family Guy nonsense anymore I will have to give it a try.

do national NBA writers actually talk to teams, or do they just talk to the local media?

awoj seems to be one of the only writers that quotes sources who work for the team, but it seems like a lot of other national writes just regurgitate what the local journalists are saying.

there are some serious roamers in my neighborhood. One of these cats went missing for 3 weeks this summer, and his owner still lets him out at all hours.

Luckily, my cats don’t free roam, and they are so low on the neighborhood cat hierarchy, no cats even bother to fight with them. But yeah, cats fighting in my vicinity is no good.

haha. she was clearly the PF or C for her HS team the way she played, whereas I was an out of shape Khalid El-Amin esque guard for my intramural team. It was a total mismatch. Actually, that made it a little less awkward maybe because I had no choice but to play physical D or she would have gotten every single rebound.

by jksnake99 on Dec 19, 2010 8:38 PM PST up reply actions  

actually, I think that helps you

because you can play hard and not worry about it until everyone is ragging on you afterward for being beat by a girl.

yeah— I guess you are right. Its when the girl is roughly your equal or maybe a little bit worse than you is when its awkward. If she’s terrible, you just don’t guard her and if she’s really good you can play normally.

no it’s true. He didn’t accomplish anything on the world stage. It’s reasonable to believe he would’ve been awesome at the76 olympics because of the times he was running, but the fact is he never did it.

from wiki
In an early 1990s episode of Married… with Children, light mockery was made at Ainge’s expense: At a fictional All-Star basketball game attended by the Bundy family, the public announcer said Ladies and Gentleman, Here are your NBA All Stars and Danny Ainge!. Clyde Drexler also laments when watching Peggy shooting a free throw that “if we had her instead of Ainge, we would have won the championship”. Danny Ainge is also discussed during the 1999 movie Mumford, where several of the characters are very impressed by him being both a professional basketball and baseball player, and one names her dog after him. Ainge also had a cameo appearance in the movie The Singles Ward. Ainge also makes an appearance in 1996 film Space Jam. Ainge is also mentioned in the La Coka Nostra song, “Bang Bang”.

It was funny/lame

One reason it took 5 hours, besides the Culver City DMV being crazy, is that there was some “discrepancy” on my record and they weren’t allowed to give me a license.

Took 2 hours for them to figure out, which never actually happened… someone just overrode it and printed me out my interim license. Before they realized the interim wouldn’t print, they already punched a hole in my Oregon ID.

I haven’t gotten a ticket in maybe over 10 years. I hardly even get parking tickets. I can’t imagine anything that would hold up me getting a license, but something was on there. No one knew what it was, though.

(2) Vince Carter was not the solution to this problem

They tried to, but his asking price was too high

Now they have to pay him about 35 million over 3 and a bit seasons. I think the offer they made was around 30-35 for 3 years.

Makes sense.

by MadBlaze on Dec 19, 2010 11:01 PM PST up reply actions  

I don't agree with that analysis

when you make an offer to a player in his prime, you expect you are not going to get good value in the last several years of the contract—that’s essentially a “loss trailer” to the solid value you’ll get in the first few years. Now Orlando’s stuck itself with the years where Hedo’s overwhelmingly more likely to be less effective during the K, and where he’s paid more. A 35/3 k for a 29 YO is not the same as a 35/3 k for 31 yo.

That is true

I think for someone like Hedo that matters less than it does for someone like Carter, for instance.

by MadBlaze on Dec 19, 2010 11:05 PM PST up reply actions  

I think it'll work out there

So long as Dwight sticks around….which he probably won’t. Ah well, at worst it’s two years overpaying Hedo for a shot at a title and keeping a franchise center. Worth it I’d say.

Hedo's reaction after being traded:

Thank goodness, I’m finally going back to a team where I can be the primary ball handler for a good part of the game. I’m sick of having to play off the ball like I did in Toronto and in Phoenix. Thank you Otis….wait a minute….what’s this? The Magic just made another trade? For Gilbert Arenas?

Whatever he lacks in 3 point percentage he would make up for in lob passes.

I would like to know where Miller would be a good fit, especially since he was great on one of the worst three point shooting teams in the league.

by Nick Van Excellent on Dec 19, 2010 11:25 PM PST up reply actions  

I like that the Magic are trying

Arenas could be big for them. He’s never played with a big who needs touches like Howard, though.

I ain’t looked at the numbers, but Richardson seems like a better shooter than VC to me. And less likely to just drift through games.

And for all of Hedo’s negatives, he is capable of the pick n’ roll with Howard.

As best I can tell, this is superstition. The Magic played really well when Turkoglu was on the team. And he played very well during a high-profile playoff series against the Boston Celtics. But he wasn’t a particularly great player during that season, and he’s gotten worse since leaving.

So I guess I'm shaving off my facial hair this week

Our church is doing scenes from Charlie Brown Christmas on Thursday night (in Milwaukee if anyone is interested in seeing me make a fool of myself) and I’ll be good old Charlie Brown – which will be fun. I knew I’d have to cut my hair really close (they aren’t insisting that I shave altogether) but I do need to shave off my Van Dyke, which I’ve had for nearly 15 years. I plan on growing it right back, but it’ll be strange to be without any facial hair for a couple of days….

I tried that once.

The facial hair shaving thing. But my wife forbade me from ever doing that again. And now I look like this.

Okay, I found the article.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/11/gilbert_arenas_discusses_his_s.html

Here’s a quote from Gilbert himself.

“I understand what people think because of the perception of me. They read the funny stuff, like me taking a crap in [teammate] Andray Blatche’s shoes. But nobody is going to ask what Andray did to deserve it. You read about it because that’s when I’m at my goofiest, when I’m around my teammates. I don’t get in trouble outside of this building. You are not going to catch me drinking and driving, or picking up prostitutes. People don’t see what my teammates see, the guy who is in here three times a day working out. That’s the guy they don’t see.”

Wow, um, I’d rather he do the things he knocks than crap in a teammate’s shoe.

I’m biased, though.

Blocks the transaction

I got a notification from Paypal of a potentially fraudulent transaction (to a legit company btw, some place called Valve Software) because there had been random transfers of money into my account (which I didn’t authorize either) from two people I’ve never heard of.

I submitted my claim and also e-mail the company (since as I said they are a legit company) warning them that this transaction was not mine.

Valve software is Steam

My vote for the most nonsensical recent rumor is the one about Nash

That makes less sense than trying to acquire Hedo. Do they think we reach the WCF if we have Nash teamed up with Roy this year? Next year? Nash is a pro’s pro and does all kinds of stuff to stay healthy so he might be able to still play at a fairly high level for 2-3 more years, but how long will his already strained back hold up? And who will play defense in a Nash-Roy lineup?

by Norsktroll on Dec 20, 2010 2:11 AM PST reply actions  

Agree 100%

It is entirely nonsensical unless they are simply looking for the Blazers to play entertaining ball and want to keep up the sellout streak. Basketball wise, it’s just stupid.

The only way I can see it making a skerrick of sense is if we trade Roy for Nash, with us giving up some talent and them giving us some bad contracts. Then we would be a running team (which I’m not in favour of). Even then we have Nate, so unless you are changing up players and the coaching staff at the same time, it makes no sense.

I just don’t get it at all. We’ve all heard Nate talk about how great Nash is, but here? With these players and him as coach? Please no.

You happen to want a category that is my puntiest punt

I shoot 70% from the line, next worst is 74%. I’m intentionally terrible. That is why I offer Manu – he shoots a high % on a lot of attempts. I want Iggy but in reality Manu is performing at a higher level.

Really depends on how much you like Manu. I can give you assists along with him, to some degree.

Rondo, Dwight, Manu, Horf, Hibbert, Griffin.

You just need to man up and take Horford

He is perfect but for a half block or so.

If you are punting steals then trading Curry seems like a good idea. Horford is pretty good value, although you might be able to get more.

speaking of fantasy basketball

all my point guards sure did pick a poor time to get hurt. I lost assists by 10, points by ~90 and my FT% was 12 points below normal but I had Nash and Stuckey out for a game each plus Curry out the whole week. Something tells me they would have helped me win those categories
