Peter King picks Bears for Super Bowl
Well, against the best RB in our division we got smoked both games. Against the best QB in our division we never touched him and he smoked us both games. We play those teams 4 times. Our D failed us both.

Rock Eras
QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) I'm open to listening to anything. Any good suggestions? My point was kind of, a lot of these highlighted bands from previous decades have the benefit of time to remove them from the mucky bands of their era. I mean we are looking at late 60s and attributing the Velvets to that time, which is correct, but they weren't that well known outside new york and didn't get a lot of traction until lou reed struck it big with transformer. And so then we get to cherry pick 80s bands like the replacements and pixies, husker du, when the overwhelming bombardment of music was absolute s*** at the time. And so now, in the midst of getting bombarded with nickelback, country and autotune (which I actually like, but I'll play ball), I think it's easy to say this is the worst time for rock, and i guess by classical rock standards it is. But for me, I'll take this time over 10 years ago, because though awesome albums came out and some of my favorite bands were in their prime (soft bulletin, lonesome crowded west, terror twighlight/brighten the corners) they were just completely buried as, frankly, the worst pop phase of any since hair bands, nu-rock and rap-rock took hold. The music I listen to now is much closer, if not the, form of pop-rock now. Grizzly Bear debuted at #4, Animal Collective's vinyl! came out top 25. So I think It'll be easier to tell 5 years from now where this era stands, but also, it's important to note the sheer amount of music we have access to nowadays, means likely a "Fad" or "wave" might not ever come again. (out of nowhere I mean, musical directional shifts might be much more subtle). So, beyond the obvious, there might be an absolute gem of an album right now that will be slow to gain traction, but will have the ability to through social networking and the internet. So this is going to be a hard time to get a gauge on. That said for the sheer fact that the popular music coincided with the best kind of rock going on, I'd say the late 60's to early 70s takes it, then pop music goes into the abyss for many years.

Alex Rios OBP = .299

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 06:25 AM) It amazes me all the time. I often marvel at just how ballsy that is. I imagine myself going to some foreign country where English isn't spoken and seeing how I would fare. It's frightening. I'm doing this in ... now, 4 days.

QUOTE (T R U @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 02:03 AM) Yeah, I forgot how many times that guy has been split out wide like that. Thats the nature of the block a QB is taught how to make, I never said it wasn't a dirty play but that Favre was just put into a bad situation. Although it really doesn't matter to me at all what any of you think about the play anyways so ill leave it at that. I've seen Favre make many blocks, and I remember them because Madden whips out his boner when they happen.

QUOTE (T R U @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 07:29 AM) dude, the only time QBs ever block is going low like that.. In the middle of the play going through his head was prolly not "Im gonna chop block this guy" Im not saying hes innocent, just saying that he didn't mean to hurt him and he prolly wasn't intent on doing a chop block. Its just the nature of the type of block hes use to adding in the fact he was split out like a WR. Either way, im not arguing that it wasn't wrong he was just put in a bad situation. disagree man, if he didn't mean to do it he has something awful in terms of form. He came right down on his knees. That was a really dirty block.

got a single but bradley held him. Great AB, he looked awful the first 2 pitches, then took it the other way.
