  1. I'm now very thankful that Jimmy Graham is a Saint. That guy is terrible
  2. that's unfair. I'd say that Ole Miss is about at a Division 2 level right now...
  3. hah that ball landed like a shot-put
  4. Pretty damn lame.
  5. Saints offense finally looking back to normal. The emergence of Mark Ingram is certainly helping.
  6. There's no way IMO that two major conference teams with good schedules would get jumped by a team with 1 loss. Especially one that won't end up having much better of a schedule if it's better at all. ND isn't in a conference. I think he's assuming that ND is already gonna be one of the teams in the NCG
  7. Saban is about to eat some serious ass in that locker room. Verne and Gary are crying pretty much
  8. Wha??? lol, that's just stupid
  9. Totally agree. Verne and Gary always do
  10. Wow...Tommy Tubberville looks to have slapped one of his coaches today... http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1293681/TOMMY-TUBERVILLE-IS-PISSED.gif
  11. Yes please. Johnny Football is awesome
  12. Compared to who?
  13. Poor ULL. Fla wins on a punt return with 2 seconds left on clock.
  14. Florida losing at home in the 4th to Louisiana-Lafayette. Holy smokes.
  15. lol. yeah I'm cooling off now
  16. I'll gladly admit to that. However, I've no doubt a well-read nerd and baseball fan like yourself is aware of that photograph's existence. No? looking at picture books doesn't make one well read Well considering that the photograph is in damn near every baseball book in existence, being well-read helps.
  17. It shows him on his hands and knees biting his lip. Is this one better? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5FDSd2LoYm4/TgvJFNhEqZI/AAAAAAAAFog/z1sb-LNJH14/s1600/cobb.gif Or... http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/12/40/14/96/cobbsl10.jpg

  19. It shows us the fierceness of one of the greatest and controversial figures in baseball history in all his famed tenacity. Nevertheless, you lose. It's an extremely famous baseball photograph and is widely considered thus.
  20. By whom? I have no recollection of ever seeing that picture and there is nothing interesting about it. Not sure if trolling...but I'll play. here is a random list that has it #1 http://listverse.com/2012/08/30/top-10-10-greatest-photographs-in-baseball-history/ This article calls the photographer Charles Conlon the greatest baseball photographer of all time and says that the Cobb photo is his most famous work. http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/30/archive-8/ Here is another article about him that has the Cobb photo under the headline http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/Charles-Conlon-The-Unheralded-Baseball-Photographer.html SI's take on it: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1190615/index.htm http://www.life123.com/sports/baseball/baseball-facts/charles-conlon-world-famous-spots-photog.shtml Another article saying "this snapshot is almost universally recognized as the greatest photograph in the history of baseball" http://www.thewannabesportsguy.com/2010/07/conlon-and-cobb-a-legend-in-pictures/ Conlon's wiki page has an entire section on the photo and calls it his most famous shot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_M._Conlon Another http://www.photography-art-cafe.com/famous-sports-photographers.html Another website calling it the "greatest baseball action shot ever taken" http://www.legendaryauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=27888 Another... http://lightbox.time.com/2011/10/19/the-golden-age-of-baseball-photographs-by-charles-m-conlon/#1 http://www.ronkaplansbaseballbookshelf.com/2012/07/26/the-bookshelf-podcast-neal-mccabe/ Nothing interesting about it? That was taken in freaking 1910...the dirt flying at the camera...Cobb gritting his teeth like a madman and the veins popping out of his neck. That's a tremendous action shot for the time period. And if you've never seen it before then you obviously don't look at many baseball history books because it's all over the place. It seems to be the go-to photograph for deadball era baseball. It comes up quite often on baseball art websites, etc.
  21. No kidding. Mays catch being 99 and Ali being 93 instantly discredits that list. A photo of a fish is 60 spots higher than those? Really?
  22. :good: epic IMB!, simply epic
  23. Very surprised that the Cobb photo isn't on there. It's pretty much always listed as one of the greatest baseball pics. http://s3.amazonaws.com/findagrave/photos/2002/133/210_1021397672.jpg
  24. laying down in the logo! priceless
  25. Saints lol
