He still wouldn't get past the Bengals. Very nice. =D>

40 reps? are you sure? that's more than most linemen.... 27 reps at 225 reading is hard So we already knew you can't do math. Now you say reading is hard. Is there anything you can do? :D

So awesome.

Peyton came to see Pat in her cheerleading outfit, ha ha Did Pat Summitt actually dress up?

Ahem :wink:

Did anybody see the Shaun Livingston dislocated knee? That was sickening.

I believe you can only have one entry per Yahoo ID, but if you have more than one e-mail address you can probably create a different Yahoo ID for each of them. There are other contests besides Yahoo; I believe ESPN, CBS Sportsline, and Sporting News have similar contests (although I don't think you can register for any of those yet), and you can always have different brackets in different contests. It says each person can have 5 brackets on yahoo. My interpretation of that was that you could participate in five leagues, not have five brackets in the same league. I could be wrong though. EDIT: If you click on the "cool new features" link from the registration page it clearly states that you can only assign one bracket to each group. So you'd need to join five groups (any combination of public and private) to have five brackets. Ah, that makes sense then. Thanks for the clarification.

That pretty much eliminated any chance Georgetown had of getting a #1 seed.

Is each person only allowed one bracket?

LOL at a picture about some guys waiting to have their picture taken.

Spring training games don't count. Somebody already has that date. Look at the first page of the thread.

The original CSI is on Thursday.

a video of it. Here is the John Terry video if you haven't seen it.

Wow. Just saw both the brawl and the Terry injury, and yeah, the Terry injury was scary. That's nuts.

Playing time in college > practice time in the NBA. It's not highly unlikely he won't get much time in the NBA. He's not a very good offensive player right now and he would benefit from playing another year in college. I don't think he will stay, but it would be better for him. Yes, something bad could happen to him, and people always throw this out there, but it's highly unlikely. This isn't football. You're really understating his ability on the offensive end. No, he's not Tim Duncan. But he's probably no worse than Samuel Dalembert, and he gets 30 minutes on a bad team. And bad things don't just happen to football players. (Donnie Boyce?) Besides, wasn't even talking on the court. It could be anything (a la Jay Williams.) Staying in college doesn't make much sense. I didn't know being compared to Samuel Dalembert was a good thing for a guy who is supposed to be the next great center in the league. yeah, because that's the point I was making. You're over here talking like Oden is a quadraplegic Greg Ostertag on offense, when the fact is, he's probably just as refined as half the pro centers out there. The difference is, he's 18, not 24. And he'll get better. And if he's smart, he'll do it playing against the best players in the world, not Northwestern's 6'7" center. If he doesn't dominate at the college level how is he going to at the pro level. I know he's 18 and I know he's going to get better - I'm not doubting that. Look at his three biggest games this year (since he didn't play against UNC): Florida: 7 points, 6 rebounds Wisconsin: 10 points, 7 rebounds and 11 points, 5 rebounds. Oh, and since you included it, in one of the games against Northwestern he finished with 5 points and 6 rebounds in 29 minutes (though the other game he got 17 and 17). Obviously we aren't going to convince each other of anything so let's just agree to disagree and be done with this debate.

We obviously have different definitions of what a bust is. A guy drafted number 1 overall should be considered a bust if he's just contributing somewhere. Kwame Brown has been a bust and so has Diop. Kendrick Perkins is sure looking like a flop as well with 4 ppg and 4.3 rpg in his fourth year. Martell Webster is headed down that road though this is only his second year. Same goes for Gerald Green though he's shown actual improvement this year. But with him, it's hard to get behind a guy who can only get 20 minutes a game for the worst team in the league. Robert Swift is hard to tell since he's injured this year and it would have been his third year. Telfair has regressed this year but like Swift, it's only his third year. But both these guys are headed down the bust road also. I was wrong in the only first rounders statement and, like you said, a lot of the flopped high schoolers were second rounders. Also for your star list I would include Dwight Howard also. Dude is a stud.

New polls out and not surprisingly Ohio State is #1 in both. They are followed by UCLA, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Florida in the AP poll and UCLA, Kansas, Florida, and Wisconsin in the Coaches poll.

Gotta tip your cap, right? :wink:

Oh yeah Kobe and LeBron always go on and on about how they didn't develop at all once they got to the NBA. Well actually LeBron might be a bad example. Lol. You go to college to prepare to make money or get a nice job. He has the job, why should he stay. Do I really need to list all the players coming straight out of high school who were drafted high in the first round but flopped in the NBA? Because there are probably more high schoolers who flopped than those who are stars right now.

Cobs. We can only hope.

With their payroll if the Cubs fail to contend in a league this crummy then Hendry should be shot out of a cannon Do you honestly believe every single one of those predictions and believe there will not be one single 90-win team in the whole darn league? The Mets were the only 90 win team in the NL last year. Its not far fetched. Q: When was the last time, in a non-strike shortened season, that no team in the NL has won at least 90 games? A: 1959 when the Dodgers won 88. But they only played 156 games that year also so it's never happened in a 162 game schedule. Q: When was the last time the NL was this pathetically weak. A: Never. 1. How do you know the NL has never been this "pathetically weak"? I don't understand how you can make that assertion. 2. I'll take 40+ years of the NL playing a 162 schedule with at least 1 team winning at least 90 games each year. Every single year there are teams that perform better or worse than they are expected to. I guarantee at least one of the 16 NL teams will win 90 games in 2007.

So did Jason DuBois. And where is your information for this? That's conjecture, plain and simple. I'm sorry, but that is way out of line. His minor league career OPS is .692. Last year, in 534 ABs, he put up a .610 OPS. His OBP was .271 and his K/BB total was 17/109. I actually agree with his defensive skills, and think those errors were just flukes. But he's looking like a Neifi Perez at best right now. Jason Dubois shouldn't be compared with Cedeno. They have nothing in common. Any time I saw Cedeno (BP and FP) he looked lackadaisical. Not to mention Bruce saying he needed to do some growing up. So no, it's not just conjecture. It's pretty silly to use his minor league career numbers when he showed so much offensive progression as he advanced through the system. He was a whopping 17 when he was playing rookie ball for the Cubs and didn't really start turning it on until AA after a decent start in rookie ball. Sorry he didn't take off right away. That shouldn't be held against him. His K/BB was trending in the right direction the last few seasons before his first full season in the majors. Give the kid a break. Has Cedeno ever OPSed .800+? Yup, in rookie ball and AAA. It's not so far fetched. And Bill James projected Cedeno to hit .310/.358/.442/.800 last season. Bill James must have been on some pretty strong drugs when he made that prediction.
