  1. defensively, the Wings are underachieving for sure. Kronwall, Stuart and Lebda are the big culprits. Osgood's been spotty thus far as well.
  2. McFadden 1 carry for 2 Yds ?
  3. honestly, you can't fault Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith one bit for the Lions record; they've both had fantastic seasons
  4. taunting is such a pointless penalty
  5. Beasley's a virtual afterthought on a barely .500 team, benched for a guy averaging 2.7 ppg Bulls really dodged a big bullet
  6. i had the thing all sealed up until Forte rushes for like 80 yards and a score on that late drive and puts the guy i'm facing up by 1.5 pts if the 4th down spot came up short, if driver didn't drop the 40 yard strike down the middle, if GB doesn't get a huge run back on that late drive i'd probably be $250 richer now. starting Roddy White in my flex spot over Choice and McClain will haunt me forever
  7. WHY FORTE??? WHYYYY????? :cry:
  8. you can horsecollar somebody forward??
  9. oh my favorite was his question: “Do you wish your daughter had married a better defensive coordinator?” Marinelli's horrendous, so it's pretty warranted my friends and I have this speech pretty much memorized by now
  10. Durant should be an all-star, his numbers since moving to SF have been fantastic
  11. not if fukudome played CF, it'd actually be a very strong defensive OF
  12. yeah, no- he gets fatigued after like 2 ABs unless physically being able to play in more than 20 games a year isn't a tool at which case you're still wrong. Pie's tools have never been in doubt
  13. Not to nitpick, but Peter Gammons specifically said that Nomar was his favorite to win the MVP in the NL right before the start of whatever year that was. Then Nomar started like 2 for 30 and tore his groin all to hell. Gammons also predicted an MVP for Bobby Crosby even after 2-3 years of total suckage. he doesn't count.
  14. nilo, are you using any type of positional adjustment on these? i strongly doubt Gathright's more valuable as a corner OF No, I didn't really do anything positionally. The only statement I made was that Gathright defensively is a 1 win CF and a 2 win corner OF which is a pretty well established translation from CF to corner OF. So, if you want to compare apples to apples (or Gathright to other corner OF options), then use 2 wins on defense for Gathright. Now, with that being said, I'm most definitely not in favor of signing Gathright and calling it a day for RF. What I am saying is that Gathright does have value. He would fit in perfectly if we get Bradley as a pinch running double switch defensive replacement and would give us more flexibility to take advantage of and create highly leveraged situation (with his speed and defense) as well as give rest to injury prone players when the game is in very low leverage situations. oh ok, i misread your first post

  16. he and Theriot are really gonna put on a show in BP
  17. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question
  18. fwiw, pizza argues the Giants really didn't have much of a dropoff from Bonds to Lewis last year
  19. nobody was predicting an MVP season from Nomar our top 3 headed the leaderboard of PAP in 03 - Tampa's didn't we didn't have a glut of young talent on offense - Tampa does we had inept management - Tampa doesn't what the hell is your argument anyways? they should have a firesale or something because they could possibly have guys get injured or 12 years older all of a sudden?
  20. i understand where you're coming from with these statements, but Detroit is freakishly potent with a pulled goalie. the other night Phoenix outplayed them the entire game, until 1:30 left where Michalek stupidly puts the puck over the boards in the neutral zone and draws a minor. and predictably, Hossa sets up Franzen for the tie and Hank undresses Bryzgalov for the shootout W. not that this anecdote alone means much, but they did essentially the same thing in the Hawks and Kings games, among others i'm forgetting atm. they could be outscoring teams by a wider margin but it really looks like they're coasting right now. i still hate denis gauthier. a lot. not for that specifically, but he makes crappy decisions like that all the time. maybe Murray instructed Gauthier to throw the game like that to show his appreciation to Det for Kyle Quincey
