  1. SDSU takes down New Mexico. They're in for sure now.
  2. Well I think the Bucs desperately need defensive linemen and I would've taken McCoy or Suh at #3 over Berry but most of the defensive linemen I liked are already gone and the one I would put in this area, Jerry Hughes, is more of a 3-4 linebacker in the pros IMO. The Bucs just lost Antonio Bryant and Freeman will need someone to throw to besides KW2. I'll take Arrelious Benn.
  3. I think we'll see that the Oregon QBs are pretty plug and play in that system--kinda like Texas Tech under Leach in that regard. Dixon was a very good talent and while the numbers were similar, I don't think Masoli was on the same level. I wouldn't be surprised if they put some unknown in there and they still cranked out 40 points a game.
  4. I just wanted to know what a complete mental breakdown on an internet forum looked like.
  5. I have to admit that even though I'm a very mild Illini fan I was pulling for Wisconsin at the end. And I have to add that that's pretty much all sulley's fault.
  6. The absence of Ron Rivera in that statement is pretty glaring.
  7. Raisin knows what I'm talking about.
  8. And if any Magic fans get uppity about some goonery I'll point and shout about them gainfully employing Matt Barnes.
  9. I wouldn't mind sending someone out there to goon it up against Howard. It's almost entirely dead weight out there anyway so you've got a bevy of options.
  10. Sweet, Rose went down hard after being fouled by Howard (again) and now he's getting his left wrist X-Rayed.
  11. So Deng's going to be out "a while" and Gibson is gimping around with plantar fasciitis as well and may not play tonight. JOY
  12. Cutting Anderson and Quinn loose to replace them with Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme doesn't seem to be the answer. That's a lateral move (at best) if I've ever seen one.
  13. This is a weird story: http://www.sportsfanlive.com/sflreports/ Fast rising offensive line prospect from Bears mini-pipeline (Abilene Christian aka the schools that produced D. Manning and Johnny Knox) has to answer some um...uncomfortable questions.
  14. I think Brandon Jennings is basically awesome.
  15. I strongly contend that anyone who thinks losing Salmons/Tyrus for Flip/Warrick hasn't been a significant downgrade isn't watching the games. The perimeter defense has been terrible since Fish left and there's no Tyrus to help clean it up in the paint. No doubt losing Noah has shredded our team D but so has trading Salmons and Tyrus. It's blindingly obvious. It's not that they're so great...it's that the alternatives are so much worse--arguably among the very worst players in the entire league that get significant minutes.
  16. Bloops, Deron just dunked on Rose's head.
  17. This is a pretty sick PG match up right here.
  18. He did host SNL.
  19. I think Lebron is a pretty engaging guy as far as superstar athletes go. He's not quite as buttoned up as Brady or Tiger (or at least Tiger was). Mainly, he's just comfortable in his skin in a Manning kind of way. I mean if Derrick Rose were the best player in the NBA the poor guy would probably shrink away into a corner and only come out for games.
  20. The most marketable thing about Chris Bosh is that he actually looks like a Raptor. http://lookliker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chris-bosh-velociraptor.jpg
  21. For someone like Lebron I agree that it wouldn't make much of a difference. If he's healthy he has pretty good reason to believe he'll make it up on the back end. But I do think that that extra year of guaranteed money means a lot more to someone like Chris Bosh who doesn't have the wattage of Lebron.
  22. $30 million in hand is worth two in the bush.
  23. It's not very Marxist of sulley to denigrate those salt of the Earth Oklahoma types.
  24. Didn't the Red Wings win a bunch of Stanley Cups with Chris Osgood who was considered pretty mediocre?
  25. Well my fear is that the Bulls will flat out suck. Maybe not in an absolute sense because they've put some wins in the bank but from here on out, with a tough upcoming schedule, things could get ugly if they don't start playing better. And I think you might be overestimating how much players actually know about the leagues they play in. They know basketball, not necessarily personnel, injuries, the salary cap, etc. They'll get some schooling from their advisers but who knows how much that really sinks in. When you follow the team on a day to day basis you're much more aware of how things like injuries and salary dumping affects the team. Now if the Bulls can keep their head above water they should be fine. I'm concerned about the scenario of a long, downward slide for the rest of the year.
