Usually around here we wind up seeing something involving the word ridiculous.

The Saints are 0/11 this year in coin tosses.

Obviously he was typing, not talking.

There's nothing in this article I can cut out.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 11, 2011 -> 06:25 PM) David Nelson (of the Bills) has a super hot girlfriend, who cheers for the Cowboys http://www.dallascowboyscheerleaders.com/s...?id=Kelsi_Reich HE caught a touchdown and gave the ball to the girl. Turns out that Fred Jackson also grew up in a house that sat where a parking lot for the new Cowboys Stadium sits.

BoSox interviewed Gene Lamont.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) Agreed, let's just hope he goes to the NL thought, but take the best offer. If he can't perform better than last year, then who cares what league he goes to?

I didn't realize it was 1993 again! I'm going to go listen to some Pearl Jam. And I think Gene Lamont might be coaching the Sox.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Wouldn't that be hurting the students who would have gotten those scholarships by making them pay a greater portion of their education even though they had no part of it? Not if they allow the players to leave without losing a year.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) "If this deal is accepted...I advise guys to stay in school and get ur degree, Master's if possible. U might be able to make more $ that way than playing in the NBA in ur 1st five years. Being the 1st pick of the draft would mean nothing."

So, I have an advanced degree...I'll trade pay statements with him.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 06:14 PM) I would love to see him and Obama in a debate. Romney might match him, but I think Newt would make Obama look like an amateur. Newt's problem in a debate against anyone, where he's 1 on 1, is coming off as way too condescending. You can hear it in plenty of the clips from these debates, and in a 90 minute debate, each of them only gets like 10 minutes to talk. In 45-50 minutes, telling the viewers that "The elites won't tell you this" only works so many times.

Just a few shots of whiskey, a few beers, and either a paper or a talk to finish.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) '93-'94 Frank Thomas The reason I never go with a Frank comparison (or Pujols/Cabrera/etc.) with Viciedo is I don't think he'll ever have that kind of patience and eye. He might well push 50-75 BB in a season, but the way he'll get there is by having pitchers too scared to throw to him, not by controlling the strike zone like Frank. The reason I always come back to Vlad is that I think Viciedo has it in him to become an excellent bad ball/pitchers pitch hitter. If he learns how to control that bat, then it's going to be really hard to get him out anywhere in the strike zone.

Help me eat the Ref.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Those are HoF numbers and would make him a top 5 prospect in the game (if he still qualified.) He hasn't been qualified in 2 years. You asked what his ceiling is. His ceiling is HoF level. The big question is whether he can get to his ceiling.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) No one is saying anything has to be rushed. The one thing that needed to be rushed was getting the guys involved in this case out of decision-making positions immediately. That has at least partially happened (until accusations start hitting the Penn State Trustees and other local agencies).

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Give me a name of a current player who you think his peak can resemble. My comp has always been Vlad Guerrero. Never took a ton of walks (except when pitchers refuse to pitch to him), always very aggressive, but killed the ball when it hit his bat. His peak doesn't get the respect it should because it was in Montreal at the peak of the steroid era, but 98-2007, .327 average, .980 OPS, 35 HR/Year. Viciedo has that in him if he's taught well. He might well have more power than that.

Fortunately we've brought the cannibalism thread back.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:46 PM) How good can Viciedo be, really? He can be one of the best offensive forces in MLB. Will he definitely do that? No. Is he risky? Yes. His ceiling is "One of the best hitters in baseball".

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) Everyone on that Penn State campus deserved this loss. "Beat nebraska!"

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) Agreed. Although I don't think it would take a year to replace a coaching staff. All my comments are based on what we know today. I am trying to learn from the Duke lacrosse case. Many were screaming to close down their program. It wouldn't just be a coaching staff here, I believe that the university leadership and full athletic department already have people facing charges. Might well wind up having to replace trustees for all we know. That's a lot more work than just replacing a coaching staff...if the people who have to replace the people who have to replace the coaching staff also get fired...
