McBain (#94): Yeah, I read that a little while back, it's good. There was a similar article from the Houston Press a year or two ago when Morey was hired, that focused on his approach to talent evaluation. Lewis' book (his other book), The Blind Side is a nice read too. |

I enjoyed "The Blind Side" quite a bit. |

m0nty (#98): Matt Perkins (#93): The rumor around here is that ManU is there big thing now and they want to spend as little as possible on the Bucs now. I don't know if that's true or not, but I heard on the radio home that they traded for Kellen Winslow. He's definitely not tier 2...right? If I was a Glazer I'd be concentrating on Man U. Man U are winners. The Bucs are... not. It's more that the Bucs are a tiny operation compared to Man U. They can a superbowl and not make as much in a year as they do with Man U.

ManU + re? Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" � staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies."

Dear 49ers, Please do me a favor and make Kurt Warner a contract offer, because he'll either find out that the Cardinals are making him a very fair offer and he'll accept it, or else you'll overpay for him and we can take that money and spend it in other areas. Either way, I don't have to hear about it anymore. Thank you, yotsuya P.S. I told you Alex Smith's hands were too small. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
You know what they say about small hands... |
|
They fumble a lot? Yup. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
So you're saying Kurt Warner has small hands? |
|
He has crooked fingers. Do your homework. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
And actually, he only had 2 fumbles this year. Look, it up. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
Are there rumours that the Niners are interested in Warner? It would be kind of silly to bring him in the year after we have Martz. Does he really want to just hand the ball off 30 times a game? Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
Shadarr- He's going in for a visit today. Most people think it's a negotiation ploy. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
It should be, he'd have to be retarded to make that switch. The only way he should leave the Cards is if they don't want him back a la Favre and the Packers. That or if he cares about nothing except money. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
It's funny, during SB week, most experts felt the Cards would need to offer him $8-$10 mil to resign. The Cards have offered $10 mil a year, but that's not good enough? I don't have a problem with them holding firm to that. Yeah, they need Warner, but not to the tune of $14-$16 mil a year, which is what he's seeking. That would be over half of what is left in their salary cap space (after using the Franchise Tag on Dansby). 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
That list is incomplete, it doesn't show fumbles on pass attempts. He actually had 11. 13 if you count the 2 from the SB. |
|
Compared to Alex Smith's zero, that's pretty bad. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
Good info, Trunks. 2 seemed low to me, but that's what ESPN showed. Still, his fumbles didn't really hurt the team as they did in years past. Some bad picks, yes. Fumbles, not really. Again, I'm surprised the Niners are not behind Shaun Hill. I'm no Niners lover, but I think he did a good job as a starter, compared to J.T. 'I've Got The Perfect Sports Bar Name' O'Sullivan. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
I'm not really sure either. Hill seems like the perfect QB for Singletary. He protects the ball, he manages the game, and he's got heart. And he's younger than Warner. Let him be the starter and bring in somebody young to be the future. We're not a QB away from the Super Bowl. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Reading Niner message boards, most Niner fans feel the same way you do. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
Well, especially when they're talking about giving him $28 million over two years. He'd better be using steroids and HGH if he's going to make that kind of money at his age. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

The Bucs picked up Ward. Maybe this actually a new Bucs team and back office? We've got Ward, Winslow and they signed Mark Clayton to a four year deal. Interesting moves for sure. "some of those words want to be other words." - LP

Ward ain't nothing without Jacobs in front of him. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Ward is a bitch, and bitches ain't shit. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Sports content! Actually, just my first attempt at video podcasting for my fantasy football podcast, previously 55 episodes old as audio only. It was a conversation with someone else, as usual, but Ustream only recorded my side so I look like a crazy person talking to myself. Worse, we had a 20 second delay for some reason, so I go doo-de-doo for 20 seconds after each time I speak, making me look even more loopy. |

CheesyPoof (#123): Ward ain't nothing without Jacobs in front of him. No problem, we've got Ernest Graham who could easily be a starting running back elsewhere and potentially Williams, if he can come back from the new injury again. We'll see. Sounds like the bucs are going with a rebuilding year with some weapons. They probably won't end up getting a QB in free agency, though it looked like Cutler was really close there for a bit (god that would have been awesome). Instead we're sticking with McKnown, Griese, and Josh Johnsen. My personal preference would be to let Griese go at for a while and if Josh can step in later, great. Who knows though. Our defense is going to be sorely lacking this year... "some of those words want to be other words." - LP

So anyone want to place bets on where TO will land? |
|
My first thought is the Giants would pick him up to make up for Burris, but I don't think they will do it. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

T.O. will be a Raider, Redskin, or Patriot. Watch. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog

Rounding up the usual suspects? <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

|
Of course. Who else would be so stupid to sign such a malcontent? I'd say Dallas as well, but he's already been there. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
Yeah, I don't think he can wash out of the league before he plays for the Raiders. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
He and Michael Vick will lose a lot of games together. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

I will undoubtedly forget to make my picks, jjz style. |

The Keith & The Girl podcast had a bloke on a week or two ago who was a writer for the Onion. However, he didn't write the articles, just the headlines. Apparently the headlines come mostly from standup comics, which the paid permanent staff then write articles for. A weird way to do it. No wonder the articles are often so crappy in comparison to the awesome headline. |

Last Friday at midnight the new Jets coach along with two assistants were camped outside a players house to recruit him as soon as the free agency signing period began. They ended up signing him to a $48,000,000 contract. Yesterday the Jets forced all business operations employees to take a two week unpaid furlough during June. This is from a team that sells out every home game, and operates with a multi-billion dollar TV deal that has not seen any reduction in revenue. What a fucking joke. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

CheesyPoof (#140): Yesterday the Jets forced all business operations employees to take a two week unpaid furlough during June. This is from a team that sells out every home game, and operates with a multi-billion dollar TV deal that has not seen any reduction in revenue. What a fucking joke. Wait a second...are you saying that large corporations don't give a shit about the little guy? That is unexpected... "some of those words want to be other words." - LP
"the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum |

I kinda feel like you're saying that without realizing how many employees these teams actually employ. It certainly is not on the level of IBM or GM or anything. |
|
Greg (#142): I kinda feel like you're saying that without realizing how many employees these teams actually employ. It certainly is not on the level of IBM or GM or anything. Huh? What does the size of the corporation have to do with anything? Are you suggesting we're not talking about hundreds of people here? "some of those words want to be other words." - LP
"the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum |

I don't know what I was talking about. Certainly not wondering outloud whether they qualified as a large corporation. |
|
It doesn't have to be a large corporation for it to not care about it's employees. The more money the corp. makes, the more fuckage it likes to deliver to it's employees. Not all corps, but that's the general rule of them. If that's what you were asking... "some of those words want to be other words." - LP
