  1. Are we sure we want a drunk guy running the bracket selection committee?
  2. Ha! Iowa fans with a "Byrd You Suck" chant. I'm amused.
  3. Duh. Even the teams who can't win a game are awesome.
  4. I really enjoyed listening to him yesterday during the DL/LB drills. He kept it interesting and was really pretty funny.
  5. Most of the Europeanisms of soccer don't bother me, but a couple of them lately have been driving me nuts. A kit? It's a [expletive] uniform. And the pitch? It's a [expletive] field. It's like Americans referring to basketball players as "cagers". Annoying and unnecessary.
  6. Apparently playing anything other than that against Kansas isn't allowed. You get no called when you take an obvious charge and then called for a foul for breathing on a guy. I'm not bitching about this because it's Kansas. Calls blown that badly are inexcusable in any basketball game. It gets magnified since it was so obvious and in the last few seconds of the game, but calls like that and the wait until you see if the shot goes in to blow the whistle that seems to be getting so popular amongst referees have to go, and in a hurry.
  7. Probably got fouled by a guy he ran over as he shot it too.
  8. Landry Jones running a 5.11 40. That's ridiculous. I ran faster than that in middle school.
  9. Rotoworld seems to think so. They've got us signing Albert at 5/37, Wes Welker at 3/27, and franchising Melton. If that's a possibility, sign me the hell up. I don't want Welker. We'd be better off getting a slot guy who can stretch the field to go with Brandon and Alshon. Who cares about stretching the field when u have two of the most productive Wrs of the last 5 years. I also don't think Welker has much left.

  11. Wouldn't Dejesus be a better fit? They need a power bat and are already pretty left handed in the OF, so Soriano probably works. The money part and the fact they're unwilling to give up any kind of real prospect makes it an unlikely match.
  12. 4.80 on attempt 2 for Teo.
  13. Teo just ran 4.81in his 1st attempt in the 40.
  14. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/marian-hossa-back-blackhawks-practice-delight-canucks-fans-174742691--nhl.html;_ylt=AhvGOKFmJUCvbkvslyUiotR7vLYF;_ylu=X3oDMTN1cDlwY2tnBG1pdANGRUFUVVJFRCBNZWdhdHJvbiBOSEwEcGtnAzU4MTQ3M2VkLTNlN2QtM2VlOS04YWJhLWRlZDRmNjU4YjhlOARwb3MDNQRzZWMDbWVnYXRyb24EdmVyA2ZjODNjYzIwLTdjNTAtMTFlMi05ZjdlLTYwYWFlMGVhN2U4OA--;_ylg=X3oDMTI1OGxqMTByBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANuaGwEcHQDc2VjdGlvbnMEdGVzdANidWNrZXRfcmVtb3ZlZA--;_ylv=3 So apparently the guy writing for the Vancouver Sun doesn't understand the difference between being a willing participant in fisticuffs on the ice and being elbowed in the head from behind. Probably explains a lot of their point of view.
  15. You're so weird.
  16. There's no limit, it just costs them more to air games on a "superstation" than in just the local market.
  17. Yeah, I was there for a game in July a few years ago and was wearing long pants and a fleece because it was cool and breezy.
  18. Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract. So, if a guy gets a $10Mil signing bonus over 5 years, it counts 2Mil against the cap every year. Doesn't matter if he gets all $10Mil up front, defers half, some or all of it. Until he's cut Signing bonuses still count against the cap if you're cut though, right? Because that's guaranteed money. I believe you take the cap hit for the year you cut him. So a $10 mil signing bonus guy that gets cut after 3 years has the remaining $4 mil go against the cap all at once. What I'm not sure of is if that $4 mil is retroactive to year 3 or if it goes onto what would have been year 4.
  19. Wow. I think he hurd his hed.
  20. The officiating in this game has been comically bad. Apparently you can foul a guy's elbow with your face and have a technical called on the elbower at the same time. Now NBA continuation rules are in effect after non-charge calls that should have been called. Also, I think this might turn into a tackle football game before it's over. They're not calling much around the basket but seem to be calling ticky tack stuff out high.
  21. His name is attached to the Biogenesis scandal. If the investigation uncovers any damning evidence he'll likely be found guilty of PED use. You think they're going to suspend him without a positive test? They didn't even suspend him when they did have one. It's in the CBA that they can do it if there's enough of a paper trail.
  22. There were too many words in that post for me to find them all. :wink:
  23. Even living in St. Louis with the Mizzou presence I haven't really paid much attention. Who even has a shot besides FL? Mizzou, Kentucky, and Ole Miss?
