That was the first I thought about when the safety happened - some lucky dude that bet on a safety being the 1st score of the game.
-
Better in terms of magnitude of the situation or better in terms of difficulty of the catch? I think the Tyree catch was better because: 1) It was 3rd down instead of 1st down and if Manning had taken the sack it would have been 4th and long with the game on the line. 2) There was 1:15 left, not 3:46. If the Giants had failed to score on that drive, there was still a possibility they could get the ball back. 3) They were down 4 in 2008, not 2. They had to score a TD to win. 4) Pats were 18-0 so there was more at play than just a SB victory.

lol they are trying to compare the Manningham grab to Tyree. It was a huge catch and very important and very difficult to make but its not quite the same.
-
And the Green Bay Packers are no longer reigning Super Bowl champs. All is right in the non baseball world.
-
Hopefully the Giants kicker doesn't pull a Norwood, or maybe I should say a Cundiff.
-
Whenever he shoots a 3, I just assume its a miss. Same with Vogrich. Guess Michigan's "signature" road win is going to be the 2 point win at Purdue unless a potential victory in Evanston or Champaign would be considered better.
-
Michigan State shooting 12-19, Michigan shooting 6-20. What a romp
-
Did he say that after the game? Just wondering because I posted that a couple of pages ago but it was from like KC Johnson. Interested to see his thoughts after the game.
-
Wish I could take credit for that. Was created by someone on RealGM. -
Using gay in that way is pretty stupid a well.
-
Bulls shot a total of 4 FTs in the game, which is a franchise record. The previous low was 5 FTs back in 1973.
-
Deng is starting tonight, but the story today is that surgery is still an option if he finds out the pain is too bad to play effectively. If he gets surgery, he would be expected to miss 3-4 months which would be close to a season ender.

Ugh, who do you want me to use then? http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/110128&sportCat=nba Here is a Simmons article where he does an excellent job breaking down when various players started to leave their peak. Melo has played 659 games including playoffs. If the above is true, he has between 3-6.5 seasons left until his skills decline.
-
Yeah they are 6 months apart like I said. He's 27 years and 8 months old and LeBron is 27 years and 2 months old. There's a theory that's gaining traction (ok it's a Bill Simmons theory, but I've it in other places too) that its more about how many miles you have than age. Obviously age is important because your body reaches its physical peak and then declines, but the wear and tear you have on your body breaks a player down and makes their decline steeper. Going by age, I would expect a player to leave their peak years at 31-32. That gives Melo around 4 years left. If you go by minutes played, I am not sure what the baseline is, but if you compare to Kobe, he has played roughly half the minutes Kobe has played in his career. Kobe left his peak years 2 maybe 3 seasons ago, but that still gives Melo 4-5 years at peak performance.

I want to shoot Theo (the poster) up with heroin every day for the next 6 months and then look down on him when he is unable to stay off the stuff.
-
On the bright side, save a possible empty netter, we allowed 5 less goals than last night
-
You know Melo is only 6 months older than LeBron and came into the league in the same draft right? He's got at least 4-5 years at peak performance left and then probably another 2-3 years until any decline is particularly noticeable.
-
Revised trip prediction 2-5-2
-
Didn't even realize the Hawks were playing today. For some reason I thought the game was tomorrow. Looks like all I've missed so far is more of the same.
-
Another disapointment for knicks fans, lovin it. Miami really wanted him too.
-
I'm surprised the Rangers are still associating themselves with this monster.
-
Here is them en route to meeting LeBron: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1cGJKJT2m_6_C9DWEaKUnz5QWGVjmmkj1zhJ7AsaeLwOgDuPHkQ

Petition to change the poster 'Theo's name as to not dishonor the name of our savior.

People are forgetting the Tim Floyd era!

Yeah at first I tried to argue that he should force himself to backdown more but then I realized that he probably would be if he still could. He doesn't go up strong anymore and is repeatedly stuffed at the rim. I start to wonder if Thibs started to encourage Boozer to take those jumpers more because he figured it was the only way to get any production out of him. But then you see him play a really really good defensive team like Miami who can cover a lot of ground quickly and that shot doesn't seem to be there as often and he often has to rush it up there and doesn't hit it as well. At that point he's entirely worthless. Ugh. The quest for a low post threat continues. I know butterfly effect and Derrick rose etc but LaMarcus Aldridge is a pretty damn good player. Too bad we passed on him for an athletic project despite the desperate need for a low post guy back then as well.
