  1. Well considering that Barney's value comes from great defense and adequate offense and Cardens is considered a butcher just about anywhere he plays, they don't even have to be that accurate to make a marked difference. Plus, didn't Barney somewhat exceed MLEs based on his AAA numbers?
  2. I find that to be the case with many people who use god as a crutch like he does.
  3. Or a road team in the phog? Fun fact Cole alrdich never fouled out of a game in college. But as an NBA player has fouled every 4 minutes he's been on the court. Did he forget the coaching that Self gave him to not foul all the time while challenging every shot? That was my exact thought when I read that.
  4. Illinois a 6, wow. Yeah, they really are an enigma. They've got a decent amount of good wins and no terrible losses as strong as the Big 10 is top to bottom. But 6 is too high.
  5. I'm an Illinois fan and that may have been worse than the Bertrand call.
  6. What's the story on the giant Amish guy playing for WVU?
  7. 16 times? That almost seems like hyperbole, but if they've tested him even half as many times as that and he's come up clean every time, more power to him (no pun intended). I work for a company that is required to test a certain % of our truck drivers per DOT regulations. It's really very strange how some guys get popped more than others. And even more strange how one guy might get hit 3 months in a row and then not get tested for 2 years or something. That does seem a bit excessive in the total number of times, but getting randomly picked 4 times each year isn't really that strange based on personal experience. Getting picked 4 times randomly in 2 separate 6 month periods does seem like a lot though.
  8. I hope it doesn't get into an extravagant bidding war with Miami. I want him on the team, but not if we're overpaying by a wide margin I guess I look at it like even if you end up overpaying, it won't be a crippling contract like overpaying for Prince or Pujols had the potential to be. I mean, even if he gets something like 6/$48, that's really not that much in the grand scheme of things when you're talking about a $130+ million payroll.
  9. I imagine the contract has just been agreed to and nobody has put a signature on it yet.
  10. I doubt Deuce moves his family out of London. For me it's either Arsenal or he stays at Fulham. As a sports fan used to North American sports, it still boggles my mind that London can support 5 (!!) soccer teams playing in the same league. Why? It's not all that different than Chicago supporting the Bulls, Blackhawks, Sox, Cubs, and Bears. It's not like they have other huge sports draws.
  11. There's a difference between then and than. Just sayin'. That's 1-3 years of a Big Ten education I only had 1 and I can get it right! :twisted:
  12. There's a difference between then and than. Just sayin'.
  13. Gary Williams just summed up this match up pretty well: "Bo won't let his team continue to play in a manner that doesn't best suit them." You mean, you're allowed to deviate from the script to best take advantage of your personnel? Holy [expletive], somebody get the memo to Weber!
  14. I don't even care, the talent level difference is great again in this game. Yet again we are content playing at a pace they dictate. I dare anyone to name a worse coach in America right now than Bruce Weber. I agree with you except for the fact that I think our players are too dumb to make good decisions when they play fast. Well, Paul at least is.
  15. I get he's bad on defense, but he can score. We need that. Understatement of the year.
  16. Sammy with 0 points, 2 dimes, and 3 turnovers. He's doing all he can to get Bruce fired. Kids really taking one for the university. I have no idea why he's even out there. Him and Abrams are almost always on the court at the same time and when Abrams isn't out there, Paul is bringing the ball up the floor. He's completely worthless, and I love my gritty white point guards (probably irrationally because I was one).
  17. Good lord, Steven Tyler looks like that George dude in the Wedding Singer.
  18. The call in the Penn State game the other night was awful, but these refs are dong everything they can to do a worse job today. There have been several awful and very inconsistent calls against both teams so far.
  19. He was a football coach, not a messiah (which yes, I know some PSU people would have you believe). What happened sucked but really? He didn't rape kids and it's hard to put yourself in that kinda situation and say you would have acted immaculately. Immaculately? Perhaps not, but I am 100% confident I would have made damn sure the guy raping 10 year old boys on campus got exposed and stopped.
  20. Stan Kroenke owns Arsenal and I'd bet that probably plays into it at least a bit. I'm not sure what the connection would be, but I'm sure it's there. The Glazers and one other NFL owner have EPL teams but I can't remember the 3rd off the top of my head.
  21. Because Paul isn't playing out of his mind? They would have lost to OSU by 15 if he hadn't shot that well.
  22. Watching this team play makes it seem like its against the rules to shoot anywhere between 5 and 15 feet from the hoop.
  23. No kidding. I was afraid he'd be outmatched athletically in conference play, but he's just bad.
  24. Just wow on the call against Bertrand. And it would be helpful if they at least acted like they want to be out there playing.
  25. Huh, didn't know that. I also thought the other denial probably had to do wit it being a team in the division than anything else.
