  1. After this years Ohio State game, USC's OOC schedule doesn't look so hot. Mostly BCS programs (Hawaii and SJ State are in there) but lots of down programs like Virginia, Syracuse, and Minnesota. BC should still be decent in a few years when they start a home and home. Notre Dame will need to get its act together.
  2. Wasn't Florida home of the infamous (and hilarious) "Don't tase me bro!" incident as well?
  3. SVG's a good coach.
  4. Kirk brings a lot of value as a player. I agree now is the best time to deal him because his value is up after playing so well against the Celtics (especially defensively) but he's a good piece to have--he's just expensive for a backup. I'd miss him though and I'm sure we'd be losing out, at least next year, on his skills relative to what's going to be gained from the #6 pick.
  5. FOX missed Jeff Kent on the "Name the two 2nd basemen to hit 25 or more homers in 4 consecutive seasons." Edit: Bloops, guess not. I guessed Kent and Ryno and looked it up on B-R and I guess I didn't look closely enough because I thought I was right at first. Now, I'm looking at Kent's numbers again and he had a few sub 25 HR seasons sprinkled in when he was a force.
  6. That would be interesting. Assuming that pick isn't dealt for something else who would you guys want? I think I'd go 1) Hill (pipe dream) 2) Harden 3) DeRozan 4) Evans? I don't think he fits well because he's ball dominant but he has a ton of potential. #6 is probably too high for Blair.
  7. You don't like Deng's injury history, but you want Shaq? Also, Luol Deng was better when he was 21 years old than John Salmons was this year, in his career year. Salmons has a much more cap friendly contract in terms of both dollars and length though. But if you could guarantee me that 21 year old Deng is coming back I wouldn't have an issue keeping him. I just don't think he's going to be that good again. Between the injuries and the system we play in now where Rose (rightly) runs the show I don't see it coming back. Deng is basically a guy who relied on making lots of long, open 2s and slashing to the basket coming off of curls and screens. That's not really conducive to what's being run now.
  8. Nah way man... apparently the only way you're the best player is if you win championships... screw your physical dominance and utterly amazing skill. Uh yeah, give me an example of someone considered one of the best players of all time that hasn't won a championship elgin baylor. what do i win? Elgin Baylor wasn't even considered the best player on his own team during those years.
  9. Nah way man... apparently the only way you're the best player is if you win championships... screw your physical dominance and utterly amazing skill. Uh yeah, give me an example of someone considered one of the best players of all time that hasn't won a championship? This isn't baseball. If you're truly the best in basketball, you're on championship winning teams. That's nothing new. Dan Marino sucked. No, but not one really says he's the best football player of all time either. Anyway, I was talking about basketball--even a quarterback can't carry a team to a title like a dominant talent in basketball can.

  11. I don't know a single person who watches any TNT original programming. Where is this audience that justifies a billion new hour long dramas on TNT?
  12. I can only laugh. What a [expletive] joke.
  13. The refs didn't make the Nuggets shoot 3 for a billion from the field from the end of the 3rd to most of the 4th quarter.
  14. Man, it's too bad the Bulls got rid of JR Smith for nothing. Basically he fits every category of the 2 guard you want playing next to Rose. Big, can defend, can stroke it from 3, and his decision making/ball handling/play making has really improved.
  15. I loved the part where James was taking the title of GOAT away from Jordan tonight by bricking two free throws and then throwing the ball away on consecutive possessions.
  16. That was pathetic Fontenot. Come on, those were BP fastballs, elevated.
  17. This is actually getting kind of humorous.
  18. Nice pick. I suppose that's the one acceptable area of the stadium for a 30 something year old to bring a glove to the game. Also, Fonty got a hit. The offensive juggernaught is back!
  19. Whoa, I was watching the basketball game. We scored??
