  1. hehehehe, wood stain, hehehehe
  2. It's not like the guy has kept quiet about his confidence.
  3. No? It was meant to be.
  4. No, it says he looks at several that are out there but relies on his own internal formulas for actual usage.
  5. I was incredibly disappointed in Weems. Is he a moron? He doesn't seem to be very "aware" of special teams situations, especially for a special teams specialist.
  6. It's cool to have numerous guys on the list, but a bummer to have nobody higher than 31.
  7. religious people are the worst
  8. I wonder if they might get him to take a paycut and just be a returner? Would the players union allow him to do that? NFL players renegotiate their contracts all the time.
  9. Hester needing to be coddled means that when he screws up you can't get mad at him or else he might sulk and lose focus, and screw up.
  10. Ditka blew up on Harbaugh, in Minnesota I believe. I think it happened multiple times but the famous one involved Harbaugh calling an audible with a big lead and throwing a taint.
  11. I blame all the other idiotic media members that keep giving the guy awards.
  12. I don't read it or watch that stuff when it's on TV, but if the player grants the interview then it would seem he's willing to talk about it - and some like talking about it. It's dumb, but some people like that "human interest" type angle. It's the critical, admonishing tone that Reilly took in the article that I have a real problem with. That's garbage. But this is the sort of stuff that led to the Manti Te'o nonsense. Dolts may enjoy the human interest nonsense you see from Rick Reilly and everybody who covers the Olympics, but it's awful writing.
  13. she's laughing? I thought she was eating a carrot
  14. You should. That crap should be banished from every sports media outlet. It's awful awful garbage.
  15. Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc Roberto Luongo is first #Canucks goalie off the ice during morning skate so that means ... well, we already knew that. #Blackhawks
  16. The Yankees have 3 first found picks?
  17. 20 minutes with no ads is rough, but OT hockey is compelling tv, which should make banner ads more valuable during that time. They could always negotiate in extras for that. Plus, if you go through one 20-minute OT period, you could always chop the next into 15 or 12 minute chunks, with a more brief intermission so you run 2+ minutes of ads right after the period, a brief studio report and then more ads before starting up the next period.
  18. I think it will eventually. I am sure they will always have at least one full OT period though. Maybe another 5 min 4 on 4 then a shootout. I think there will be some fluke year with 3 or more triple OT games and TV will demand that they do something. I don't think TV hates it all that much, and I think they are much more likely to do something like breakdown the 2nd/3rd OTs into short duration than have a shootout. We're talking about a program that airs in the middle of the summer, when there's virtually nothing else on. And most games are on cable stations and not networks, so I don't see the issue.
  19. But the comment was made that you could probably go as far back as the 60s and not have anybody surpass Soto's total.
  20. Although he doesn't say it the context of this discussion is always homegrown position players and what they produced with the team. Palmeiro hit early on, but he probably had 1.5 seasons worth of time to rack up his value to the team.
  21. A 22-year-old Ronny Cedeno isn't our No. 25 prospect, either. Correct, because he could field a tough position.
  22. Jody Davis? Although I guess he's like Sandberg and not fully homegrown, despite debuting with the Cubs.
  23. I'm inclined to assume the worst with everybody's else's players, plus the bad ones on my teams.
