  1. i don't think Hardaway Jr. goes pro
  2. first time we've been ranked #1 in basketball since '92 hail Beilein!
  3. i have no way of knowing, there's a million factors at play and these things don't always make sense; Darius Morris left too early and Burke very nearly did the same ill-advisedly (of which i don't begrudge them) there's optimism that GRIII will stay a year and be the star post-Burke, but he's projected as a lottery pick right now, so that might just be wishful thinking
  4. i read the other day that Magic Johnson was the last B1G player to reach 17 pts & 7 assists for a season Burke's sitting at 17.9/7.1 right now
  5. I'm pretty pleased about this; it should also boost our immediate prospects after Toussaint shredded his nee
  6. and he ate his way out of the HOF; hard to think of such a precipitous drop for a player by age 30 that didn't even involve injuries best WAR for a player through his 20s, all-time http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2012&month=0&season1=1871&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=20,29&filter=&players=0
  7. I think you are over glorifying the LB position by a country mile. Also, 30-40 years ago it was much more important than it has been the past decade. Defensive backs and pass rushers have been more important in the modern era. Agree. But what DB or pass rusher in the last 10 years could make a claim to be better than Ray Lewis? Not a year at a time, but body of work. Revis has been the best player at times. JJ Watt this year. Nobody has been consistently elite at those position the way Ray was from the start of his career to about 4-5 years ago. he was an elite player as recently as last year: https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/12/23/pff-afc-pro-bowl-squad/
  8. Derrick Walton, who's super exciting; we're well on our way to being PGU, basically and this Stauskas thing cracks me up
  9. i had obsessed some a week or so ago, and came up with my semi-realistic dreamworld Lions draft: 1-9) DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama (trade #5 to NYJ for #9, 2013 4th and 2014 4th) 2-27) Bacarri Rambo, FS, Georgia (trade #36 to SF for #59 & 74) 3-3) Tank Carradine, DE, Florida St. 3-10) Kenjon Barner, RB/KR, Oregon (via SF) -OR- Denard Robinson, RB/WR/KR, Michigan 4-2) traded to MIN last year 4-9) Shamarko Thomas, SS, Syracuse (via NYJ) 5-4) Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech 6-3) Tavarres King, WR, Georgia 6-11) Etienne Sabino, OLB, Ohio State (via Titus Young trade) 7-5) Quinn Sharp, P, Oklahoma State unfortunately i think we're probably dead-set on taking a DE at 5, but Moore & Werner don't really excite me much
  10. i don't Ty Cobb slides are PFs anyway, but Brady's just that uncoordinated a runner
  11. replacing an ousted Marinelli with Hoke would really make me have to work harder to hate the Bears
  12. i don't know if i'd call the Almora scenario a wet dream; he's the greatest baseball player of all-time, and leaves after 4 seasons with us
  13. glenn robinson iii, wowee zowee
  14. clarifying a bit... Granderson: 534.25 Sabathia: 533 Hill: 518.5 Dunn: 476.5 Hudson: 424.5 W. Rodriguez: 464 C. Buchholz: 354 R. Soriano: 340 J. Johnson: 362 i've got under 300 points left, so my preference is more on exempt pitchers or low-point injury types
  15. Te'o is going to have a 0 awareness rating on Madden
  16. i also wonder how Ray Lewis earned his reputation probably currying the favor of the AP writers with flower baskets
  17. It may be noteworthy to point out that number is 2, that award is just something handed out by the AP, and it's only 40 years old. It's as much reputational as anything else. your football arguments are always such a joy to behold "awards are stupid!"..."stats are stupid!"
  18. "The Ray Lewis worship is manufactured nonsense."
  19. players who've won as many DPOY as Lewis: Mean Joe Greene Lawrence Taylor Mike Singletary Bruce Smith Reggie White that's it
  20. this is a god damned snuff film
  21. Jinx factor in full effect tomorrow. didn't know if i'd ever have the chance to say it again
  22. I thought it was the former Bear Chris Harris It isn't? no, it's a 2nd year CB who's actually pretty good
  23. these Denver safeties...
  24. LOLin Kaepernick
