  1. Theo's don't exist in the nfl. There was no top notch candidate they didn't have a chance with. I find a Belichick jumping ships after an ownership pisses him off quite plausible. There certainly weren't out there to hire, but they could and will exist. You mean specifically Belichick or some theoretical Belichik clone? He was a mediocre coach with Cleveland. His timing with Brady was perfect, but I'd bet it would be quite difficult for him to replicate his success somewhere else. Remember, he won by outscheming opposition with his defense. Now his defense sucks and he relies on his HOF QB to outscore everybody
  2. And Welker lost the Super Bowl with a drop. The point is not that drops are good or bad. Obviously nobody wants a drop. But you don't rank a WR by drops. You can certainly rank good WRs by drops (actually, drop percentage), which is exactly what I did. You can put a list together, but it doesn't tell you anything worthwhile.

  4. Don't apologize, you're dead on. Dumping on a productive WR because he drops a greater percentage of passes thrown his way than some mediocre guy is pointless.
  5. man i love khabibulin, but yeah, give me nabokov instead. Why does anybody like Khabi?
  6. Why on earth would the Pirates reject a deal in which they's acquire an established starter, who could potentially be a front end guy for them if the price is Garrett Jones and the Yankees paying a big chunk of A.J.s salary? I'd take that deal for Bryan LaHair without thinking twice, and that's basically what Jones is. The Pirates are a dark horse for the division, but they could still contend and adding a veteran starter, who'd be going from the AL East to the NL Central could really help their cause. That really makes no sense why they would turn that deal down if all it was, was Jones straight up for Burnett with the Yankees eating a big portion of Burnett's salary. Does Jones even factor to start at an OF position or 1B for them this year? He basically has been a bench bat and has gotten 2-4 starts a week for them the last few years, iirc. Didn't it say the Yankees were offering less than 1/3rd of his contract? You are talking about Pittsburgh taking on $11m per year for two years for a guy who has been pretty crappy the last two years. Why would they want to do that?
  7. In sports, that's about the worst argument to support an argument.
  8. Yeah, while it may be ideal to find a big great receiver, the key is getting good WR. Knox is a great athlete and a decent enough football player, but he's not a very good receiver. Bennett isn't great, but he's the best they have. The Bears need a really good WR. Maybe nobody elite, but they have to get legit, real WR. Not return guys or DBs who have changed positions, but actual WRs.
  9. No wonder he thinks this organization is so bad if he has a guy he despises at 10.
  10. Have you ever seen a team play the schedule the NBA is playing this year?
  11. Todd McShay has the same thing. Chicago BearsRecord: 8-8 Kendall Wright*, WR, BaylorThe Bears have not spent a first-round pick on a wide receiver since David Terrell in 2001, and at some point they have to pull the trigger on a playmaker for QB Jay Cutler. A versatile speedster who can threaten defenses vertically and is dangerous after the catch, Wright is on the rise after catching 108 passes for 1,663 yards and hauling in 14 touchdowns in 2011. McShay ranks him 20th and the 3rd WR. Scouts Inc has him 32nd and the 4th WR (Blackmon, Floyd, Jeffery).
  12. Really? That's convenient.
  13. thank you for reminding me to cancel.
  14. I've never heard the Coryell style referred to as West Coast. Every time I've heard west coast offense it has been describing the Bill Walsh, high completion percentage/passing game used as a replacement for the running game style. Wiki it. Hah, I did after I wrote that. Kind of a pointless article, everybody knows what WCO is, and it's not what Martz was doing.

  18. the article says Redknapp is the new guy. I like his goofy britishness very much.
  19. What is a take the top off guy? Or do I not want to know?
  20. he's claiming Sczur was a likely 2nd round pick in the NFL? I doubt that very much.
  21. Yes I do but that doesn't mean I agree with it and it doesn't mean its right. Jack Morris is going to make the baseball HOF because a bunch of dumbass sportswriters think that he was a big game pitcher whose numbers aren't that good because they claim he pitched to the score. Doesn't make it right. What the hell is "right" about freaking hall of fame inductions?
  22. http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/2012/02/08/greg-jones-mom-does-not-approve-of-his-fiance233-a-photo-essay/ gaints player proposed to his girlfriend after the SB and his mom didn't appear to be happy about it.
  23. How do you see the offense being improved? He didn't say that he sees the offense being improved.
  24. Taking the names out of it, the Big East is still pretty stupid while the Big Ten makes perfect sense. I don't get it. The Big Ten is a conference that makes sense, in that it is made of a group of midwester schools that all play the same sports in the same conference. The Big East is a clusterpuck of epic proportions.
