  1. Bob Howry is a type A, yet Milton Bradley is a type B. Nice system.
  2. Who's the dumbass(es) who voted OSU not in last? I would imagine that bag who is on the around the horn from LA. Bill Platschke.
  3. I would ask about Gordon, they might not be totally sour on him yet, but with Moustakas now moved to that spot, I bet you could get him from them. I know this is probably a ridiculous thought, but I know Alex played short a few times last year for them. If he could just be average defensively at short, his bat would be a huge upgrade. Especially if he gets out of yellowstone park.
  4. One of those beasts actually make the elite 8 this year? Why is it ok to use sample size and crapshoot in relation to MLB playoffs but not the NCAA tournament? No worries though, you guys need someone to throw things at now that Eric Gordon isn't in college anymore. I realize it is sample sizes, just think it is odd that you guys haven't done better as a conference in the tourny lately as you have been by far the best conference. I guess that is cause UConn and the Cuse, two very good programs have been down a bit for them lately. Anything can happen in the Tourney thats the thing....Plus what they haven't won in 3 years? The conference is still very good as a whole KU Florida Florida UNC so four. But, your point remains. That's all I'm saying...Was Kansas necessarily the most talented team in the nation....They were one of the best, but maybe not the best...The Tournament does crazy things. Show me a more talented team. KU had 5 guys go in the draft. The only teams that could make a claim to equal talent were UCLA and Memphis, and that's only because their top-level talent was slightly better than KU's. KU had them on depth, though. Still, your point remains. It is a crapshoot. Gotta have talent. Also have to have luck. KU was a wayward three away from not even making the FF. Ah yes the genious Davidson coach who didn't have Curry shoot said three. Your school will probably never be in position to go to a final four again and you don't have your best player ever shoot the biggest shot in your programs history. Nice work skipper. Oh and snood don't sell yourself short. You also have Collins and Alrdich, who will be pros on that team. At least I assume that Collins will get a shot.
  5. apparently this trade is a precursor to the Royals moving Billy Butler. I thought Dayton Moore was supposed to be smart?
  6. according to mlbtraderumors.com the Nats optioned Cordero and he refused making him a free agent. Any interest in him?
  7. I would love to have Heyward and Burgess together in the same system on the same team. If we had that, we would have Peavy here in a day or two.
  8. Cuse has looked medicore because of the conference. Last year they had four MCDAAs, that is a lot of talent for a team that struggles to qualify for the conference tournament. As much as it pains me to say it, that league is stacked.

I would say KU was right there. Florida the second year was. UNC was everyones pick to win it the year they won as well.

  11. What's impressive though is how good the depth is. Besides South Florida and Rutgers there isn't a gimmie in that conference.

  14. they only had more than one hit because all the white people thought they were boyzIImen I thought they were color me badd to be honest.
  15. Why not just have Shaq and Fu Schnickens perform together. It is a recession afterall might as well save money and let him do the halftime show. "Now whose the first pick, me word is borning. Not Christian Laettner, not Alonzo Mourning."
  16. i wish bands would do that, acknowledge that they only have one song and just tack it on to their name. "and now, ladies and gentlemen, CRASH TEST DUMMIES MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM" apparently you have never heard of afternoon and coffeespoons.
  17. I have two thoughts from yesterdays games. Kevin Love played pretty well. 12 points and 9 boards in 19 minutes. Why the hell did he only get 19 minutes on the TWolves? O.J. Mayo began his career as the next Larry Hughes as he went 5 from 20 from the field. So NSSBers what is lower this year O.J.'s field goal percentage or Ben Wallace's FT percentage?
  18. I had to go to work at halftime. Up until that point though he was pretty bad.
  19. Man Kirk Hinrich should shoot more, his shot looks great.
  20. Noc's hair is amazing.
  21. The offense looks so much better with Rose in it. Hinrich needs to play about 15 minutes a game tops.
  22. I saw on the bottom line that Hughes will only miss 2-4 weeks now. That's a really bad break for the Bulls.
  23. Didn't he get hurt? back injury, i think i know he was in camp with someone this year, but he's spent the last few years in india doing religious studies or something nutty Latest I saw he was trying out with the Cavs. But, I thought that was in '03. According to Wikipedia he hurt his hammys and groin. yeah but your opinions on most things are pretty irrelevant Eh if it made him feel better I say more power to him. That had to be hard walking away from the money he would have likely got for his ability.
