    i don't think they did. i think they are allowed to expose the player to waivers before having to return him to the Twins
  2. Derwood
    I vote either "Spanish Flea" by Herb Alpert or "Yackety Sax"

    both. the prestige of the program is still mostly intact. i'd go so far as to say top 6. unc duke kentucky kansas ucla iu in no particular order. it's tough for me to argue for or against. i'm not close enough to the situation, but it seems that Indiana hasn't had an "elite" team in a long time, Mike Davis' Final Four run not withstanding. I mean, would you consider Penn State a top 10 prestige job in football? that's a tough one. it's going to be VERY interesting to see what happens when JoePa retires. knowing Penn State, they'll just promote a coordinator and completely rule out the idea of getting a marquee head coach from outside the system

    top 10 program, or top 10 coveted coaching position?

    The NBA thread

    Greg Oden is a dumbass
  7. Derwood
    we should sticky a thread charting Dusty's pitcher abuse this year
  8. Derwood
    RynoRules already picked him
  9. Derwood

    that's often what happens with new stadiums. extort the city into paying for it, then fall into mediocrity (see: Pittsburgh, Cincy, Seattle, San Francisco, Houston....) St. Louis, San Francisco, and Houston all have hosted World Series games. yes, but the new ballparks were built under the guise of "we can't maintain sustained success without a new park." but imagine if the pirates didn't have a really nice park? how many people would go out and see them lose 90 games a year in toilet known as three rivers stadium? they'd probably be out of business by now. i don't think people go to the stadium now even with a really nice park. which is a shame. it's an amazing park. the truth is Pittsburgh is simply a football city
  13. Derwood
    so would rapists
  14. Derwood
    i had the same, with UCLA over Stanford on the other side

    i'd hate to know my vertical leap. Let's see, i'm 6'3", so if I extend my hand above my head that's probably 8'-8'3", meaning it's only another 1'9" to the rim, which I can barely touch. So yeah, I have a 20" vertical.

    I actually quite like this suggestion. That freaky laugh would be great. However here is my pick ... One Step Closer by Linkin Park. Has a killer rip on it and has the part where they say "Shutup" over and over again that could be the lyrics part. Them being from Chicago is also a pretty cool bonus. Maybe since they are form Chicago they would give permission to change the "Shutup when I'm talking to you" part to "Shutup when I'm pitching to you." That would unique and absolutely phenomenal for a closer intro. Here's a link to the video for those who can't remember the song. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2114085933693353892&q=one+step+closer&total=9457&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0 And for those of you who didn't see, a Tribune blog was written about this the other day. Here's a link: http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2008/03/help-wood-pick.html Linkin Park is not from Chicago. They are from California

    they would have to clear the bleachers or risk killing dozens of people
  19. Derwood
    my bracket is a complete bloodbath. i'm down to two Final Four teams
  20. Derwood
    along with Clement in St. Louis, etc. what is Alf up to these days?
  21. Derwood
    UCLA has had some squeakers the last few games. they need to figure it out here. oh, and Jay Bilas:College BB :: Kirk Herbstreit:College FB I hate their alma maters, but am always happy they're doing the game I'm watching
  22. Derwood
    am i the only one bothered by the fact that coaches can change jobs mid-contract? if MLB players making millions are bound by their contracts, why shouldn't college coaches be?

    I will. Fact is, our league can't start until April 7. By then, if IMB waits to input the rosters, Cueto will be available, so there really isn't any reason why he shouldn't be on my team. my only gripe was that I specifically asked him about drafting players who weren't listed on Yahoo and he said we couldn't. it's possible someone else might have drafted Cueto before you did. but hey, unless Cueto wins the league for you, it's not that big a deal Eh, it's a little bigger of a deal since it's a keeper league. I didn't see where you asked him that, so that's my bad. we talked about it on IM. I assumed it was communicated to you. we'll leave it up to him

    oh, i see what's going on. I get the HD feed of the national broadcast, but as soon as local coverage switches me back to stay with Louisville/TEN, bye-bye hi-def. that's a bunch of crap
