the only thing 5 random NSBB'ers could do is beat Shaq in a free throw contest

Yeah count me in on the 'no' camp for the 18 game schedule, really bad wear and tear on the players enough already, the quality of football is definitely gonna drop a bit. A wild card team going all the way could conceivably play 22 games in a season, thats insane. And running backs already hit a wall the season after they carry 350+ times, how are we even gonna work around that, have 3 running back systems now? The NFL season will become even more a war of attrition.

You know, I really like watching Dwight Howard play, and he seems like a mostly nice guy, and I really want to like him, but every time we play the Magic he does something horrible like body slam Derrick Rose, or throw an elbow at one of our guys and act like a petulant child and it makes me conflicted.

Tommie :( =D>

That image is so obnoxious we should all be protesting the Olympics
-
I'm really curious to see how we play at Atlanta. We haven't played them yet all year, and I haven't seen them play yet all year.

That leaves Harrison, Toeina, Melton and Tank Tyler (signed to a future's contract) as the only DTs on the roster. Tyler didn't play in 2010. Harrison was only active 5 games in 2010. Only leaves Urlacher and Briggs at LB, along with 2 future's guys I've never heard of. They needed an excuse to draft defense heavy. I wonder if they might re-sign Harris cheaper? It all but guarentees that they draft DT/DL twice, go OL twice, and use the rest to round out their defense. Sadly the Bears won't make much of an effort to work on the skill positions. They never have. This is a team that signed an over-the-hill Muhsin Muhammad that clearly had a twilight-of-his-career year season and thought they solved the wide out position. They just don't care.

Not a single Bull was negative in +/- and not a single Wizard was positive in +/-, wonder how often that happens
-
Seeing as we still likely will finish with the 3 seed, I'm fine with the Knicks figuring a way out of the 6 seed, and I'm more than fine with the Heat feeling less confident against 'good' teams.
-
Am I wrong for thinking that plan 'B' of Boozer turned out a lot better than perhaps getting Bosh (who was plan A1, A2 or A3)? Bosh doesn't bring that post game at all, so its an added dimension that has helped tremendously. Now Boozer may age faster and his defense remains a problem, but still.
-
Its not really encouraging we're going to continue to have a small Center, a smallish Guard in Garza, and a tackle playing Guard
-
Is there any reason, from an organizational standpoint, to give him that many years? Honestly in a perfect world, if you were running a team you'd ideally keep him consistently coaching for a contract. He did a fine job. And he still as his faults on gameday. The problem remains Angelo.
-
I, too, always liked Encarnacion, because he seemed always like a decent hitter that never got any love. Apparently he can barely field at third though.
-
Whether or not its deserved (and it probably still isn't, IMO, but I'm slowly moving in that direction) Derrick Rose for MVP definitely picked up a lot of steam tonight. Not only did he go and beat the other contender, LeBron bricked that last shot, and the knuckleheads will latch on to that. I almost sympathize for LeBron in this instance, he goes and gives his wide open shooter a game winning opportunity? Lambasted. He goes and forces up a shot because thats whats expected of him? He's gonna be torn to shreds. I'm sure he's fine with hisself and his millions of dollars though of course :wink:
-
That was such an ownage game, god damn. I haven't screamed that hard (on the Luol 3 ) since the 2008 playoffs. Asik played a helluva game too.
-
my schadenfreude is sated for the time being, that is until they bring up some quad a starter and he gives them 185 innings of 3.6 era ball
-
Indescribably bad loss that doesn't bode well with the back-to-back with the Heat
-
Actually Bernstein and the rest of the Score agreed to not label what Duerson did as heroic (I think Dan thought the method was heroic but not the suicide, etc, he was more sympathetic than the others) and their whole attitude was very odd to me. I always get uncomfortable when people start talking about how 'selfish' people who commit suicide are, but my field is mental health so I'm used to people not grasping reasons for suicide or being particularly sympathetic.
-
James Johnson was the kind of guy certain people latched on to and I never got it. Yeah he didn't get a fair chance here but he was a puzzling pick, especially how they decided from day one to not give him a chance. Glad we could salvage something out of it.
-
Hell the Bulls might have issues signing Rose long term if a hard cap is instituted
-
with these moves would they even have the cap space available to sign a CP3 or Deron Williams?
-
As much as I love what Maynard has given this franchise, he's pretty much done. He had one of the worst average on punts last season, and while its nice that he's very good at angling and pinning teams back when we're in their territory, a team with an offense thats as boom-bust as ours really needs a guy that can boom it, because we stall so often in our own territory.

The Free Darko guy is usually a very good writer, this one is a major misfire. It never really makes any cogent points and he basically just dislikes Derricks game as a preference, and theres nothing really rational about it. Which is fine, I hate some players irrationally too, but I don't write articles about it. The worst part about it is there are very clear objective facts that point towards Derrick becoming a more complete player, his defense, his jumpshooting, etc. And I have to say, completely subjectively, I find Derrick Rose's game beautiful. It may be brutish in a way, he isn't a Kobe who pokes and prods and finds his way to an open shot, he does force his way past and through people, but the way he controls his body is so graceful and awe inspiring. Angling his body to avoid defenders, holding on to the ball until the very last second, how is that not aesthetically pleasing?

I don't want to start a whole off topic discussion here, but it amazes me how much she gets away with, basically talking about giving guys erections etc

Is there a worse period of non-sports than the NBA All-star break? Its already at a bad time (February: football over, baseball still far off, college basketball still not yet interesting) so the only thing thats really 'going on' is hockey. And c'mon. Its hockey.
