    I thought it was fairly obvious Jenkins was a better football player during their careers. Davis is a better athlete. Jenkins has a lot better technique and more polish. I'd agree Davis has a higher ceiling though.

    Alderson talks a good game about running the Moneyball philosophy (in fact, I've never heard a baseball operations guy be so publicly forthcoming about his philosophy) but he, Depodesta, and Towers have done a pretty wretched job of getting the players to execute it for the Padres.

    The Bulls need to get to the pick and roll based offense earlier in games with Rose. That BS motion offense that we predominantly run is just a waste of his talents. Let him create and attack Vinny! And if they could play with 50% of the defensive intensity they showed in the last 6 minutes they'd be just fine.

    I don't think Deng played at all in the 2nd half. Salmons started the 3rd quarter.
  5. SpongeWorthy
    I cannot believe that happened. Hahahahah. Artest was murdering us all night. Thank god he didn't make one of those last threes or there would be axe in my TV.
  6. SpongeWorthy
    lol, is this for real? Nice things happen when we stop running Vinny's [expletive] and start playing defense.
  7. SpongeWorthy
    Can't defend, can't score inside, and can't shoot 3s. The offensive philosophy (which is completely ill suited for Rose) is designed to generate mid range shot jumpers but they suck at making those too. How about 1 aggressive screen at the top of the circle with Rose? JUST ONCE. Get Vinny outta town.

    This team is [expletive] wretched.

    God, things get ugly when Tyrus tries to go into Hero-mode.

    I already like Salmons a lot more than Deng. His activity level is just a lot higher.

    Noah rocking the birth control glasses and Craig Sager jacket. That shirt and tie combo by Miller is pretty out there too.

    Crabtree is certainly not average when it comes to getting separation, body positioning, and catching the ball. He's not a ridiculous athlete (although he's a pretty good one) but neither are a lot of top flight WRs.

    Injuries really hurt him early in his career. And that's really what lessened the fans' patience. When he did finally play he showed more promise than any QB in Bears history, and was among the best in the league for a while in 06. Then he hit rock bottom so hard and so often. The combination of these things did Rex in with Chicago fans. I'd say his total lack of ability to play as a starter in the NFL probably did him in more. Considering the fact that he did play as a starter and enjoyed a fair amount of success would seem to contradict your theory. You mean before defenses had a chance to get some tape of him and realized he lacked any sort of poise in the pocket and made horrific decisions at an alarming rate? Yeah he was pretty effective then. That Rex is never going to come back. He's simply not good enough to be anything more than a stopgap solution on an NFL team.

    Tiger's swing looks a lot more stable now. He's going to be destroying the tour again pretty shortly.

    I think either the team tanks completely or you want them to make the playoffs. The difference between a low seed and low in the lottery is negligible. And tanking implies all sorts of scary things about the development of the young guys on the team. It's not like the Bulls would turn into one of the worst teams in the league in a vacuum. It would imply a lack of development of Rose, Thomas, Noah, etc. and the team would be further away from contending status than it already is. No thanks.

    What does this even mean?

    120-102 over the Magic. Probably the best offensive game of the season. Howard had a nice game but didn't completely blow us away like big men have been doing all year. The guard rotation between Gordon, Hinrich, and Salmons looked pretty solid tonight. Good stuff from Noah and Miller too.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    Pitt is down 18 at the half to Providence. That is unexpected to say the least.
  20. SpongeWorthy
    That is the luckiest NBA buzzer beater I've ever seen.
  21. SpongeWorthy
    Collins is all man.
  22. SpongeWorthy
    Andre is the only Smith that could potentially fall to 18 after the disastrous week he's had. Jason Smith might go #1 overall.
  23. SpongeWorthy
    You could draft Oher and kick him inside to guard if Williams is ready to take over at LT.
  24. SpongeWorthy
    http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers DHB ran a 4.3 flat.

    Here's a Packers evaluation of potential 1st round type guys: I think we're in a BPA mode. If one of the top OT's falls (Smith, Smith, Oher, Monroe, etc.) we can take him (or more realistically, trade up). Or we can take an edge rusher. I'd still prefer a big, athletic WR that will catch balls in traffic. Heyward-Bey or Nicks maybe.
