AFC South Eternal Thread #35: "Where Andre Johnson Is Kicking Ass and Taking Names"

Hello, fellow AFC South fans! A new concept we're going to be trying out this season is a 24-hour open thread for fans of AFC South teams located in the FanPosts section of Battle Red Blog (a special thanks to Tim for allowing such nonsense for the low, low price of 2 Coors Lights). A place where football fans can get together and chat about a variety of topics ranging from football to foot fetishes. Just think of it as your favorite bar/hang-out spot where you can get to know your fellow divisional fans on a more relaxed and personal basis. The point of this thread will be to bring us, the fans of the greatest division in all of the NFL, together for some friendly conversation and camaraderie.
- Nothing will be considered off-topic other than the usual religion/politics.
- Check your hostilities at the door. All previous problems you have had with other AFC South fans will be considered forgotten when you enter the thread. You may encounter others who seem to be ragging on each other. Please don't jump into the argument like you own the place. Things aren't what they always appear to be. It's probably people who know each other extremely well participating in some inside-joking or friendly ribbing.
- This is not a Game Thread! There are threads already dedicated to this, and for good reason . It's the same reason why I don't watch Pats/Colts games with my Pats-loving brother-in-law anymore. Things get crazy real quick. The Colts game threads will be hosted at both Coltzilla and 18to88. Feel free to join either one.
- No trolling, please. If the only thing you have to say is, "Colts/Texans/Jaguars/Titans SUUUUUUUCK!!!1!!1" you're not going to make very many friends.
- If you are having problems with someone in the thread, please email me and we can work together to resolve the issue in-house. Our hope is that this thread will be self-regulated by the fans themselves and won't need any outside intervention. If you don't like what you see, treat it as any other unpalatable link you have clicked on in the past. Apply eye-bleach and move along.
- Have fun! We're all fans and fellow pathetic computer nerds. We have more in common with each other than we have with most everyone else in the real world. Try to remember that.
- Try to keep the thread "safe for work" since a lot of the threaders may be viewing from the job site. In other words, I love boobs, but my boss doesn't. He's a dick.
- If you were one of the people who rec'd the previous open thread to move it to the Recommended FanPosts section, please go back to that previous thread now and un-rec it. That way, the previous thread will move out of that section, and we won't be cluttering BRB as much. Also, feel free to rec this thread to get it up to the 3 required to move it to the Rec'd FanPosts section, but please don't go above that as it makes it harder to un-rec it later. Thanks.
In the beginning, myself, peytonsurdaddy, and Shake, from BRB will be hosting the threads. As time goes on we'd like to add a representative from both the Titans and Jaguars fans as well. You may lobby for the position by sending cash proving yourself to have a level head and basically nothing better to do with your life.
Thanks,
peytonsurdaddy

More depression
It is so disappointing. Nobody is playing well including Manning. He usually covers up the ineptness of the offensive line but he isn’t doing it so much this season. It is looking like a huge mistake letting Caldwell take over the reins from Dungy instead of going and getting a real coach. Polian needs to answer for the absolute jokes of players playing on the offensive line and special teams. There is no quality depth on the team.
I still think the Colts will have to cough up a Rex Ryan-sized hairball not to win the division. But, if they keep playing like this it won’t matter if they make the playoffs. They will get slaughtered.
I put Peyton's play on two things:
1) THE O LINE SUCKS DICKS
2) Whenever he feels like he’s HAS to make a play (because he isn’t getting help from anyone, including the D, he takes chances he shouldn’t. But 3 of the INTs (didn’t see the 4th) were because of pressure and his arm getting hit as he was throwing.
/Peyton can do no wrong in my eyes, although I was yelling at him to pull his head out of his ass last night. lol

I'm sure he's 'hurt' in that he's taking hits and feeling them
I don’t think he’s ‘injured’ in that there’s a major issue that the Colts are not revealing.
He’s human and he’s allowed to have some off days.

We beat the Tits twice and stomp the Jags and we'll be fine.

The good news is that I hear a lot of media people saying that
If the Colts get healthy at the end of the season, they will be a very dangerous under-the-radar team.

The 4th was Brandon James being slow and short.
It was a perfectly thrown ball, and BJ just couldn’t lay out properly for it. James had the position in the endzone in front of the corner, and had everything perfect and he just couldn’t get there.
Only 2 of the INTs were caused by hits. The 3rd was due to pass interference that wasn’t called when the corner pulled Reggie down by the hip.

I have a feeling Baby J is done for the season. Reggie probably fucked up his elbow with how he landed, and Hayden I’m not sure about.

I've learned that Baby J isn't his cousin...
So not worried about that one. Reggie is obviously concerning. Hayden – meh.
He who makes a beast of himself relieves the pain of being a man
it will be even more concerning if Collie can't come back.
We can’t keep using Baby J as a receiver. He’s about as bad as Taj Smith without the height. We could live with White out wide for a game if Collie was back, but I just don’t know if Collie is going to be ready, and I’d hate to rush him in. If he’s not ready I’d rather bring up a guy now and have him ready so we don’t have to go in and lose Collie again.

Dude is made of glass. I’m surprised he didn’t get injured when the camera panned in on him last night.
Remember you are not strange, but you are not the same
See, I don't understand folks constantly complaining
about Sanders. I’m not talking about you, but a lot people are pissed that he’s always injured. Polian knew what he was doing when he drafted him and gave him that huge contract. He’s a high risk, high reward player. I still feel that his rewards (Super Bowl champs and DPOY) have outweighed the risks (injuries).
I don’t believe he’s damaged goods, yet, so I’m still optimistic about Bob. Yes, I am disappointed that he’s always injured, but what can he do differently? Play it safe and not make the necessary hit or tackle? He’s goes all out on every play and gives his all, and that’s all I can ask for in a player. If Polian likes it, then I love it.

Remember you are not strange, but you are not the same
I don't know of anyone wanting to tank the season, here at least.
Disappointment, yes. Lack of our usual fun, yes. But we still have a chance. If we win the division again and get into the playoffs we should have most of our guys that can return back…anything’s possible! It sure would be nice for Sanders to get back by then…so reminiscent of 2006.

Remember you are not strange, but you are not the same
In terms of the Offensive line we've got 3 major problems.
1) Linkenbach IS NOT a guard, and obviously can’t play the position. We need to move DeVan to guard and put Richard back in at LG.
2) Diem continues to suck, although his mistakes are being covered up some because Linkenbach is also sucking.
3) CJ is getting worse. I don’t have the numbers over the past few games, but its getting obvious. He started out solid, but the combination of the failure on the right side is just making any slip up on the left a thousand times worse.

Let's see:
1. The defense is playing well.
2. He can’t cover up for the O-line because all of the receivers are hurt. He needs either an O-line or receivers. He has neither right now.
3. Caldwell had nothing to do with this loss. As DZ said, the game plan was sound (I loved those screens to Brown.), and the loss came down to individual players just not being good enough.
4. What do you mean answer for it? Should we run him out of town? There haven’t been many opportunities to get good tackles at all, and quality O-linemen don’t fall out of the sky.
5. All of the quality depth on offense and SS are also injured..
6. Don’t be so sure of that. The playoffs are a crapshoot, and we can still get some important players back.

On number 4, it actually seems to be the opposite.

more on #4
The only mistake I see Polian to have made wrt the O-Line this year was letting Lilja go, and the thought has crossed my mind about whether Lilja may have been a part of that decision (I know there is absolutely nothing public to indicate as such, but when Polian called out the O-Line after the SB, it’s not far-fetched to think that Lilja asked for his release and they made up the surrounding details to make it look like the Colts released him of their own volition).
Don’t forget that the Colts’ hands were also tied due to the Final Eight rule that prevented them from going after any quality unrestricted free agents (can’t remember if there were any O-Linemen) until July. Hence the wonderful additions of Terry and Alleman.
Letting Lilja go
was a HUGE mistake. Should have given KC Diem.

I'm not sure we'd be alot better off tbh.
The Colts seem to be adamant that DeVan not play at RG. I’m not sure what their reasoning is, but I think if Lilja were still on the roster DeVan would be his backup and We’d have Pollak or Linkenbach still at RG.

The way I understand it
we made Lilja a very decent offer and his agent didn’t think it was enough. So they tested the market and couldn’t find anything better than what the Colts offered. But since his agent is a prideful moron they went and took less money from KC. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but the way it worked out can’t be pinned entirely on Polian.

Jesus Christ I’ve been waiting for something like that to happen to that ugly MF!
Okay, Colts…wow.
I know our offense played like shit, but I’m 99% convinced the refs lost us that game yesterday. Momentum was completely in our favor until that no-call pick-six by Weddle. We were in the game until that moment, and afterwards you could feel the air sucked out of the stadium. It was obvious that the offense had completely given up after then. Javarris James looks like a UDFA out there (wonder why), I’m pretty sure Pierre Garçon put on Reggie Wayne’s uniform, and our line speaks for itself. Peyton is making awful reads and decisions. It’s just a hot fucking mess on the side of the ball that’s supposed to be a machine. At least the defense showed up. 1 TD allowed, everything else was FG’s. Can’t argue or complain there. Pass defense was MUCH improved.
All and all, I’m glad we have a weak schedule coming up, and we’re in a weak division. Where’s Cortland Finnegan? I need something to punch.

Yes, the D played better than expected
I’m not trying to make excuses or blame the refs, but I agree with you and do think the non-PI call was a momentum changer. Now to be fair there was plenty of time to get back into the game, but you have to think we get at least a FG on that drive and the game changes. It becomes 19-17 and there’s more pressure on the Chargers to score TDs instead of FGs. And if we get the TD instead of the FG, then it’s 21-19 and I doubt we give up the lead b/c the crowds gets in it and the D steps up.
But we can’t dwell on the ifs and woulda, shoulda, couldas. Time to focus on the Cowboys now.

There might've been 1 or 2 punts
They really were doing an excellent job of “bend, don’t break” last night though. Lots of 3’s instead of 7’s. Still too much scoring by SD for me to be comfortable but they definitely gave us an opportunity to stay in the game. Too bad Peyton kept throwing the ball to the wrong team (pressured or not).

3 is better than 7...
but they just let them drive down field into field goal range. When you have an offense who can’t run no huddle because of all the noobs, you can’t even allow 3. Too many first downs were handed to them on that “bend but don’t break” D.

Going 0 for 8 on 3rd downs isn't a problem

It just looked to me that the entire team didn’t really even show up to play. Hard to believe this was the same team that came back and almost beat the Pats last week. I didn’t see any heart out there last night.

Essentially I'd agree.
We didn’t give up huge chunks of yards at a time, but we got abused by giving up medium gains all night.

Again, as we all know, we have to win the division to get into the playoffs. Then we’re looking at the 3 or 4 seed (probably 3 since the west sucks and all)…as of today, that would have us playing either the Pats or the Ravens, I think.

Thoughts
This is what happens to your offense when you become one-dimensional. I don’t care how pass happy the league is, when you have no run game AT ALL like this team, you’re going to lose against good defenses. I know Peyton is the GOAT, but the man is still mortal. We can’t expect to win games if we are throwing 50 times each week. It’s just not going to work.
Joe Addai, we need you man! I’ve never seen a RB in my life do so well at making something out of the pile of nothing the O-Line is.
Coming into the season, I thought the lack of run game and O-line would be the death of us. Season is still far from over, but if we can’t fix this run game (Joe being back alone helps a lot) We aren’t going to beat playoff teams.

We absolutely need Addai
There’s no doubt about it anymore. Donald Brown can’t cut it. He runs into the o-line too much. Baby J is meh. Our O-line is atrocious. I mean, I’m fucking praying at this point. We need healthy players!!
He who makes a beast of himself relieves the pain of being a man
Baby J only plays at most a dozen snaps a game.
I’m not saying he’s amazing, but I don’t think there’s enough he’s been able to be on the field for to make a positive or negative assessment. He only ran the ball twice last night, and it was well after Brown had shown he was incompetent at running the ball.

Honestly, I think even just having Hart back would help a hell of a lot.
He’s not Addai, but he had been doing well, and I think he still could with another shot.

I understand that the guy can’t turn water to wine. I do, however, expect some kind of changes to be made. 24 rushing yards on 13 carries is embarrassing. Yes, it isn’t directly or entirely Jim Caldwell’s fault, but ultimately the guy has to get a portion of the blame.

Richard was out performing Pollak. I know alot of you guys didn’t like him (and still don’t like DeVan) but Richard and DeVan have not been a problem. Maybe if we had stud tackles then we could gripe about them, but overall they both have been essentially as stable as Saturday.

Probably for the same reason Diem is playing despite being obviously the worst linemen on the field.
The Colts made a decision, and they have their reasons, and far be it for us mere mortals to know the ins and outs of it. Maybe they see more run blocking skill out of Link? Maybe Richard is training to be the backup center as he’s played the past few years. Maybe he has a nagging injury concern the team doesn’t want to re-aggravate. All I’m saying is that while he obviously isn’t a pro-bowler, he wasn’t the guy you could point to and say, “He’s the weak link on the line.” That was always held by Pollak and Diem. With Richard in we had fewer pressures, hits and sacks on the left side, and about 4 or so 5+ yard TD runs cam on the left side with Richard and DeVan blocking.

Because..
Us fans who watch the team for a few hours every Sunday probably know more about the quality of the players than the staff who see them everyday in practice. Makes alot of sense. The staff obviously don’t want the best players to play.

Read just above you.
I don’t pretend to know all the inner workings of the organization. It is just my personal opinion, like I personally think Hart is a better RB at this moment than Brown. As I said, the coaches and trainers have their reasons, and they are better reasons than just how they perform on the field. All I have to go by is how they did in games, and going by that, with the stats I’ve done and how invalid they are, I simply feel that Richard outplayed Pollak overall. Why he was the one to get replaced when he gave up fewer sacks, hits, and pressures, as well as being a key blocker in a number of long runs including uncharacteristically long TD runs, is beyond me. They have their reasons, though, so all I can do as a fan is cross my fingers and hope to get a chance for my point of view to be validated.

I honestly don't think we've got many options better.
With how Linkenbach is playing at RG, I don’t think he’d be particularly brilliant at RT, especially LT if we moved CJ to RT.

In 1 game.
It could have been an outlier. Then again, some tackles just can’t play guard. Maybe Linkenbach would be better suited at RT than RG.

True, but Linkenbach's past few games have been disappointing.
But, at this point, I’m willing to try Linkenbach at RT, I just think that putting Pollak back in would be a mistake.

To be honest
I didn’t think Jackson would have a big impact since it was his first game back.

I hope KC takes the West, even though it’s not likely we’d play them in the playoffs, assuming we get in. Those #1, #2, #5, and #6 seeds are going to be tough.

We could make it quite a bit better by actually replacing Pollak with a real guard.
The Tackles were always going to suck, but if Eldridge comes back, maybe we can help things out some more, but that would actually be predicated on everyone being healthy.
I honestly think we should cut Thomas and bring up Hinkeldgorunnnnnnkjhuvlkrjyt. We need a slot receiver if Collie can’t go and if Wayne is even possibly hobbled.

Well let's see...
.45 grams/cm would be .00045 KG/cm (unless I didn’t move the decimal right), which would be .0045 KG/.001 M. Doing the division leads to .45 KG/M. I might have done the decimals wrong though. 1000g = 1 KG, 100 cm = 1 M

well, 1 m cubed = 100*100*100 cm cubed. Add the 0's and you've got 1,000,000.
And as for the grams, 1 kg = 1000 grams, so the conversion would be 0.45(1,000,000/1,000)

I understand the cubed part
But you’re going from smaller values (g, cm) to larger ones (kg, m). To me, that says the numeric value should be smaller than what you started with.

Think of it like this.
A cm^3 of water is the same as a mililiter. A ml of water weighs 1 gram. A cubic meter of waters weighs a thousand kg.
In this problem we are going from a value of 0.45 grams per ml. This is roughly half as much as water. You can then expect for a cubic meter you’d have roughly half the amount you do with water. Water is a thousand kg per m^3, so the substance should be on the order of 500 kg per m^3. The answer of 450 kg/m^3 is consistent with that thinking.

unit analysis is your friend
.45g/cm^3 * 1kg/1000g * 100cm/M * 100cm/M *100cm/M
so on the top your units are g*kg*cm*cm*cm
while the bottom units are cm^3*g*M*M*M
The grams on the top and bottom cancel each other out. The cm*cm*cm on top cancels out the cm^3 on the bottom, leaving you with the desired units of kg/M^3

The big things, to me,
are that A) Andre was very contrite afterwards. and B) The Thursday night game helped.
"Lord, beer me strength."
His past had to have a lot to do with it too.
The league knows AJ isn’t the typical hot headed runs-his-mouth type of receiver and the league also knows that Finnegan is a sh*t talking little bitch. That must have been factored in cause damn, there were some man sized blows landed by AJ in that fight.

He who makes a beast of himself relieves the pain of being a man
See I think Polian is the biggest asset to the organization.
He’ll find a “good” QB to fill in for Manning a decade down the road when Manning finally throws in the towel, and he generally drafts well, and gets very good system players. If it weren’t for injuries this year, things would be quite alot different, and I don’t think so much of it is on the players as a number of guys who’ve had little to no injury history in the past are going down with major injuries.

That’s why that place is the quietest stadium in the league. I’ll be screaming my freaking head off on the other team’s 3rd downs, jumping up and down and everyone around me will be sitting there quiet as a mouse, staring at me like I’m a psycho or something.
It really bothers me that every time I’ve been there I’ve tried to get the people around me get involved in the game telling at them, “Stand up! Make some noise! Let’s get that 12th man working!” They just sit there munching nachos and texting.
Why don’t they just stay at home and watch the game? Give their tickets to someone who actually gives a crap.

I disagree with that.
There would be REAL PROBLEMS if my parents tried to give me a beatdown. Of course, I don’t think my parents COULD give me a beatdown, since they are both in their 70’s.

And the receivers,
especially with Reggie and White hurt now.

White got up limping after a couple of plays late,

Cowboys QB Tony Romo is closer to returning to the field, and RB Marion Barber might miss a game.
Romo did some throwing at the beginning of Monday’s practice according to ESPN Dallas, the first time he has participated in the warm-up portion of practice since suffering a broken collarbone against the Giants in Week Eight. Romo is expected to be ready to play in three weeks.
Barber, on the other hand, did not participate in practice and is day-to-day. He strained his left calf in last Thursday’s loss to the Saints. Barber had a rushing touchdown in the loss but has rushed for more than 50 yards only once this season.
The way we see it
Despite being essentially out of the playoff race, the Cowboys have played spirited football since Jason Garrett took over as head coach. Jon Kitna has played well with Romo out. If Barber has to miss Sunday’s game against the Colts, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice would handle the workload.

I've been following the Pacers for a few years, but the NBA is so boring to get behind.
At least defense is still played in college basketball. A NCAAB game can be 65-67 and be more entertaining than a 112-120 NBA game

I think the Pacers are generally a decent defensive team.
They held the Heat to their lowest point total of the season and I believe held the Lakers under 100 as well.
But that’s because the LAKERS SUCK.
lol…Hi LB :)
He who makes a beast of himself relieves the pain of being a man
There was actually a good article about their defensive effort.
They held the Lakers to like 91 points per possession, and the Heat to something like 76. That was extra significant because both teams had been averaging like 120 points per possession and the best defensive team had been allowing like 99 per possession so the Pacer’s defense was incredible by the standards.

I don't know if I'd agree with that...
… but I concede that maybe DZ is right, and that the tipping point was losing Addai’s blocking. Still, though, at some point, I’d like to see if there are O-line metrics that can be used to analyze what’s going on, and see if it is indeed worse than last year or not.
I do concede, though, that having your receivers bail you out means a lot. That I’ll never deny.

to the untrained eye (mine)
it looked like Manning had the least amount of time ever in any game this year… I’m not sure an extra blocker would have changed that, or just simply better blocking by those assigned to do it
Didn’t the Chargers drop a lot into coverage?
The Chargers did quite a few fake blitzes,
and it looked to me like when the Chargers got pressure, it came from both edges simultaneously.

Did you hear Dungy's idea in the pregame about using college rules on scores?
Where all scores are reviewed? I wonder if it would have been called back for PI on replay? Its obvious the refs botched that call. You know what would have helped? If the ref was back where he usually was. He’d have been right there in the middle of the field and would have seen it happen right in front of him, literally.

The above is, of course, a rhetorical question...
… seeing as how we’re definitely seeing the effect of missing so many people in addition to an O-line that couldn’t block sunlight with an umbrella (thank you, Linkenbach, for helping tackle Manning on that one play! 
). But really, it’s as much a rant as anything else.

I completely agree
We could have kept driving and taken the lead at that point. Then the impetus would have been on the Chargers to get a TD or else we’d start pulling away with the game. As it turned out after the no-call, they went up by 2 scores, we got disheartened, and things just started to really fall apart.

Agreed.
For a receiver of that caliber, it’d be insane to cut him for that money. I still maintain that injuries are flukes, and it’s possible – not certain, but possible – for a player to come out of a rash of them to produce with no further issue.

I completely agree
I don’t think that his injuries are Marlin Jackson-esque. He truly believe that Gonzalez will be able to produce for the Colts. Plus, Peyton friggin’ loves him.
"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."-George Orwell
I noticed something during the Chargers game that I should've noticed earlier.
It’s not just his hands. He also makes some questionable decisions on his routes. It’s like Peyton definitely has an opinion of where PG is going, but PG decides to do something different. Like slow down, or break it short.
I think that’s correctable with more work, but the problem is, they’re in the middle of the season. That should’ve been figured out last year and in training camp.

Like the throw PM made where there wasn't a Bolt defender in front of Garcon

"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."-George Orwell
That's one.
… But there are others I think are more egregious. I’d need to rewatch the Pats game, but there was one play there where I thought “You know, this is totally what I mean by his choices on routes…”. It’s a hypothesis that’s been building for some time, though.

Well, Shake's making a good joke about it, but there's a kernel of truth there too.
It is exactly those points that make people love Garçon. Heck, I unabashedly admit that it’s part of my reason for liking him. His stature is definitely something you’d want in a receiver, and his physicality after the catch is something the Colts normally haven’t had; he really fights for his yards when he gets a catch. Plus, he definitely can run like blazes; I will never, ever forget his catching of Ed Reed in last year’s Baltimore game. Holy JEEBUS, that was amazing! So yes, I do love the sheer potential he flashes now and then. As well as something I haven’t mentioned yet: Heart. He’s no Hart as far as grinding his way through a game, but he does put forth a whole lot of will when he’s playing.
But – and this is no small “but”, I’m afraid – the mental tools have to be there too. And I fear that’s what’s lacking in his case. Michael Jordan once said of basketball that there were tons (or hundreds… forget the exact phrase he used) of people out on the city playgrounds that could make the NBA based on physical ability alone, but they failed to do so because of their mental abilities. In Jordan’s case, IIRC, he was specifically referring to the will to prepare and the desire to continually practice and improve ones self, but I think his point can be made more general: A person must also have mental gifts to succeed in pro sports, let alone on the Colts receiving squad. And I don’t know if Garçon ultimately has those mental gifts or not to succeed with Indy because he’s put out contradictory data: There are times he plays heady and smart: The Ed Reed runback wasn’t merely speed; it was also willingness, plus the intellectual identification of the fact that Reed could be caught, therefore Pierre didn’t give up… that’s no small decision there, and speaks well of his utilization of his mental tools on that play. The problem is, there are also times I wanna slap a “WTF?” sticker on him. He shows flashes in both directions, and that’s maddening. You’d want him to show one tendency and stick with it so everybody could know for certain. But, the point is we can’t tell if the mental tools are indeed there because of his choices. And ultimately, we don’t know if his mental gifts are sufficient for playing with the Colts or not.
Anyway, sure: The physical plus the willingness to really go out there and PLAY! (capitals and exclaimation points deliberately used) makes him lovable. But the decisions and errors make everyone frustrated. I wish that weren’t so, but the longer I live as a sports fan, the more I see how infrequent it is to get both the mental and physical tools in one player.

And another thing
It’s so friggin’ annoying when Garcon is trying to fight for more yards after a 10 down when like 3 guys are already on him or when he’s running laterally to gain more yards. GET DOWN!!!!!! I feel like the more defenders while your still up, the greater chance of a turnover happening increase as well as injury.
"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."-George Orwell
Same.
He’s done some cool footwork so far, but all it takes is one guy getting a clean hit and the ball could easily be returned for a TD with Garcon running around behind everyone to get to the other side of the field.

I hate to say it but I really think Garcon is just slow with the mental aspect of the game.
Smart guys like Collie, Gonzo, Wayne, Clark, Tamme, and White all picked up the routes and very rarely do stuff like screw up the routes on a regular basis in games, and if they do screw up its usually only 1 time, then they correct themselves. Garcon keeps making mistake after mistake, whether dropping passes, or running bad routes. I just don’t know what to say other than he’s not got his head on straight yet.

But there just seems to be some mental aspect of the game he’s missing. Not that he’s too stupid to do the plays or anything like that (which may or may not be the case), but just that there is some element to his game that isn’t there right now thats making him a liability.

Good morning all
I say the Colts still win the division. They have to win the division if they want to go to the playoffs because this piss poor division isn’t sending a wildcard team. Here is how I see the rest of the season playing out for our division:
Jaguars (6-5) @ Ten L, Oak W, @ Ind L, Was W, @ Hou L = 8-8
Colts (6-5) Dal W, @ Ten L, Jax W, @ Oak W, Ten W = 10-6
Titans (5-6) Jax W, Ind W, Hou W, @ KC L, @ Ind L = 8-8
Texans (5-6) @ Phi L, Balt L, @ Ten L, @ Den L, Jax W = 6-10
10-6 will get the Colts to the 3 or 4 seed. Probably the 4.

typical "Bill Polian is a bratty, spoiled man-child" hooplah.

Which has led to more
“if polian can’t give peyton a good oline then peyton should leave indy and polian should be fired.” Because apparently polian can’t build a serviceable football team to save his life and if peyton played for any other team he’d have 6 rings by now.

Yeah...That argument is so annoying
You have to wonder if Dolphins fans said the same thing in the waning portion of Marino’s career. Jesus Christ, people, it takes a shit load of luck to win a championship! There are 31 other teams out there fighting for the same thing, and they all have at least 3 or 4 guys that help give them a puncher’s chance. Yes, there are glaring flaws with our team, but there are with all teams! If Peyton goes to another team, that team is still going to have problems that may or may not keep them out of the Super Bowl. It’s a crap shoot. Unfortunately with all the injuries, our odds just keep getting worse.

I can’t say I don’t wish we had a better OL, but I just don’t think this much complaining is warranted a year after making it to the superbowl. I think even if we had won there would still be people bitching.

Hey, Jamkel.
Whenever you’re around, I need help with this physics problem:
The following graph is an illustration of the phenomenon called beats. Beats are due to a superposition of two wavs with similar amplitudes, but slightly different frequencies. From the graph below, find the approximate value of the beat frequency. Note that one division on the vertical axis corresponds to 0.050 V, whereas one division on the time (horizontal axis) corresponds to 10 ms.

That would be where the two waves meet up, so they would constructively interfere
Look for two instances where the peaks conincide, and measure the distance between them. The frequency is measured as 1/time, so with the measurement you got, you divide one by it, and you’ll get your frequency. Don’t forget to convert to seconds so its SI.

What's the exam covering?
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
The chapter titles are:
Introduction to Alkyl Halides, Alcohols, Ethers, Thiols, and Sulfides
The Chemistry of Alkyl Halides
The Chemistry of Alcohols and Thiols
Introduction to Spectroscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy, and Mass Spectroscopy (we actually skipped the mass spectroscopy part.)
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
All of that is about 230 pages worth of text, 130 if you don’t count IR and NMR (which I’m prepared for). Fun stuff.

Whoa, wait! All that for ONE exam??
Jesus H… when I took organic, all the various spectroscopy methods was lumped together with chromatography basics (GC, TLC, etc.) into its own exam. The Halides, alcohol/glycol/thiol piece was separate. We weren’t hit all at once like that. And I can’t imagine having to worry about both of those together in the basic, first semester organic class. The whole idea in the course I took way back when was to teach the basic reaction categories (alkene chemistry, then to dienes, then to aromatics, then to stereochemistry, etc.), and only after that, teach analytic methods. But you’re getting both at once. That hurts.
Man, I feel for ya. That seems like a rough thing to do, throwing analytic chem in with some other categories like that. I was in hell studying them seperately when I was a student.
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
pretty much
the only words I understood of the last two posts was “alcohols” and all the small words
LOL...
Man, I’ve forgotten so much. When I last took organic, Bush was President… H. W. Bush, our previous President’s father.
But anyway: GG – Gas Chromatography. TLC – Thin Layer Chromatography. Alcohol/glycol/thiol – Alcohol’s are organic molecules that have an “OH” bonded to one of the carbon atoms, glycol has two of those, and thiols are fairly often produced by reacting sulfur containing reactants with alcohols, so all that tends to get taught in one segment because that is how the knowledge was historically produced.
Spectroscopy is simply a gathering of various methods to use radiation to determine the structure of a molecule. But that simplistic explanation belies a whole area of chemistry specialization, since you not only need to understand basic chemical structures, you must also be aware of what the techniques tell you and hide from you. It’s a stone-cold bear to study, which is why I’m surprised and sorry for Cass: Analytic chem in my experience tends not to be thrown in with other topics. And I personally feel it’s masochistic to combine those topics, since they’re soooooo different. Sure, I understand that in graduate school and industry, a chemist must be able to handle both areas of knowledge as one, unified intellectual toolset, but that doesn’t change the fact that for an undergrad, learning two disparate areas at once is painfully difficult.
Again, I feel for poor Cass. Those topics are hard.
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
Heh... it flew over my head at first too, way back when
I barely, barely passed my first semester of organic, and was so intimidated about it that I retook it just so I wouldn’t be in a deep hole for the second semester. Yes, I could’ve just gone on, but I was feeling that clueless. So I basically admitted to myself that I was barely passing is almost flunking, and I’d better solidify my knowledge before I move on. In retrospect, the second semester didn’t build on the first as much as I thought it would have, but I didn’t know that at the time, and was feeling that ignorant about organic.
So yeah: Organic chem tends to fly over most people’s heads. Including those who actually take it.

"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
sounds like
you made a smart decision. I got lost when you said something about an “OH” – I don’t even know what that is!
He's talking about an alcohol.
It is where a molecule is bonded to an oxygen atom which is bonded to a hydrogen atom. It’s often shortened as -OH or OH.

Yes, what Cass said.
It’s significant to chemists because there’s a ton of chemistry to be learned about how alcohol’s react. Not to mention the fact that alcohol was important to those early “Natural Philosophers” who laid the groundwork for today’s science (∗glug glug…∗). ;)

I'd trade you my past history if possible.
I’d still be lost in a quantum physics class, but at least it would be such a total oblivion that I wouldn’t feel any pain. Whereas in P-chem, I kept on having these glimmers of “Ok, this sorta makes sense…”, only to find out after study that I still didn’t get it. Total detachment can be bliss.

Not so much fun is when we get ice.
Last year at Purdue, there was a 2-day span where there was the thinnest layer of ice on almost every sidewalk and walkway at Purdue. Almost indistinguishable from the patches of sidewalk without ice, and somewhere around a 70-90% fall rate when you step on it. Everyone was forced to walk through the slush and mud where the grass used to be. It was insane.

From wiki:
In Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland there is also a tradition of having a so-called Julekalender (Swedish: Julkalender, Finnish: Joulukalenteri; the local word for an advent calendar) in the form of a television show starting on the first of December, and ending on Christmas Eve. The Julkalender was first aired on Swedish TV in 1960 with the program Titteliture 1. The first Julekalender aired in Denmark was Historier fra hele verden in 1962. The televised jul(e)kalender has now extended into the other Scandinavian countries. In Finland, the show is called Joulukalenteri. Over the years, there have been several different kinds of julekalender; some directed at children, some at both children and adults, and even some directed at adults alone. A classic example of a Julekalender enjoyed by children (as well as adults, if purely for nostalgic reasons) is the show Jul i Skomakergata.

A professor gives his physiology class a spot quiz. One question he asks is, "What part of the human anatomy expands to ten times its normal size during periods of intense emotion and excitement?"
He picks a rather overdressed girl in the front row to answer it. "Miss Callahan!" The indicated girl, who heard the question, stammers with some embarrassment: "Professor, I’d rather not answer that question.
"The professor says, "That’s all right, Miss Callahan, you don’t need to answer it. Is there anyone present who can answer it?" He notes an interested face in the back of the classroom. "Mr. Hawkins!"
Hawkins says, "Yes, Professor, it is the pupil of the eye that expands to ten times its normal size during periods of emotion and excitement."

Question...
anyone remember what the Colts’ O-Line lineup was versus the Giants earlier this year, as opposed tothe Chargers last week? I know the defensive front for the Giants greatly favored running the ball, but it seems like the personnel change made a big difference in the Colts’ ability to run, too.
The inactives for that game
were:
WR Anthony Gonzalez (ankle)
S Bob Sanders (biceps)
DB DaJuan Morgan
TE Gijon Robinson
LB Clint Session (hamstring)
OG Jacques McClendon
DT Ricardo Mathews
DE Jerry Hughes
So, that suggests an O-lineup of CJ, Richard, Saturday, Pollak, and Diem from left to right.

except
I don’t think Eldridge was used that early, was he?
and Addai doesn’t block in the running game, does he? I suppose he’s a decoy that the defense has to account for because he could run or he could stay in to pass-block.
According to Jamkel below,
Eldridge was used a lot. That was after the team got tired of Gijon. And the thing about Addai was me saying that he’s just a better running back than Brown/Baby J. Had nothing to do with blocking.

1) CJ and Diem both were playing well (which neither is at the moment)
2) Diem and Pollak posted their best blocking percentages of the year
3) Eldridge was in for 2/3’s of the snaps.

Saturday's numbers have been taking a hit.
It’s been since the bye week actually. The simple explanation is that because Pollak and Linkenbach have been such liabilities recently, Saturday is having to focus on supporting that side, which opens him up to mistakes in the middle. He’s had a higher incidence of missed and failed tackles, and his good blocks have taken a hit. Prior to the bye week, Saturday recorded assists with the LG at a nearly identical rate as the RG (something like 148 to 153, LG vs RG). Since then it has been nearly a 3 to 1 ratio (3 of every 4 assists involve Saturday helping the RG).
DeVan has been posting nearly constant numbers between 83% and 90% the past few weeks without fail, and with only 5% bad blocks or so. Saturday’s has fluxuated between 70% to 85%, and he’s had double digit percentage for bad blocks the past couple of weeks. Before the bye he was averaging around 4%.

So,
the DeVan for Richard seems like it has worked out, but the Link experiment has been a disaster. That’s what I thought from the eye test too.

Essentially, but I was always of the opinion DeVan was the better guard anyway.
My thought was always that Richard was being groomed to take over for Saturday so he was learning the snap reads. And statistically speaking Richard being replaced by DeVan has been essentially a wash. Richard was blocking at an average of 83% prior to being replaced, and DeVan is blocking at an average of 85%. The biggest difference is DeVan’s bad block numbers are below 5%, whereas Richard’s was at 9% (10% below Pollak’s I might add).
The Linkenbach experiment has been a disaster though. Pollak was the statistically inferior guard to start off with (averaging ~65% good blocks, 20% bad blocks) and Linkenbach at RG is around 60% and 18%. Its just not pretty to be honest.

This is my thinking.
A good guard could make up for some of Diem’s screw ups. I’m not saying DeVan is an amazing guard, but I think the line would perform better if DeVan were at RG, simply because from the numbers, and my personal opinion, he’s the strongest guard we’ve got, so he’d be the best bet for helping the right side.

I think the AFC West winner will be 9-7 or 10-6 and we already have a tiebreaker over the Chiefs.

I wouldn't be too quick to make that assumption
Also, even though we own the tiebreaker against the Chiefs, we don’t own it against the Chargers and I wouldn’t be surprised if they snuck in for the nth year in a row.

That's why I said I think.
The Chiefs have already beaten the Chargers once, and they look to be better than the Denver teams of the past few years.

Ok next question
anyone know where to find a list of next year’s free agents, in particular OL players? I’m assuming that the Colts won’t be hampered by the “Final Eight” rule next year…
Don't know,
and we only need to make the divisional round of the playoffs (win 1 game) to be in the final 8. Definitely possible, and I’d say likely if Collie and Addai are both back for the playoffs.

DeVan is a RFA this next offseason
Johnson is a free agent as well
Those are the only 2 I’ve found on the O-line that are in a contract year.
Next year, though, Saturday, Pollak, Diem, Thomas, and Richard are all up on their contracts. That is our whole current offensive line except the rookies.

he's a tackle (right, I think)
he was definitely a good player in college, but has had some injuries (perfect for the Colts!). I think he’s done well for the Chiefs this year.
Can't we just t'eve Lilja back onto our side as well if we are raiding the Chiefs?

I'm fairly certain
Lilja would not want to return, and Polian said in his “Corner” this week that he wold still make the same decision on Lilja (though he wouldn’t have made the same decision on Scott)

ah
I haven’t even been following Kravitz on Twitter.
I do have to say, though, that I agree with something Greggggg wrote today and that the Colts are becoming predictable. I remember reading somewhere that they (the Colts) have openly admitted that they will tell you what they’re going to do, they’ll just execute it better than you can defend it. Now the problem is two-fold… they are down some of their best players who can execute better, and they can’t open the playbook more to devise more complex plays because of the revolving door at WR and RB.
I called the long ball on an early
3rd and 4 (Peyton overthrew Garcon on that play), and I hated the call before they even ran it.

And we’ve got Henkledjfaousfdlkgjnasfd on the PS that is known for his hands. We could bring back Guns who also had a reputation for having good hands.

No, it was clearly a fumble.
But what had happened was He got his knee pinned back under him as he was pulled down and had a look of extreme agony on his face as he came down. The ball got pulled out, or he let go from the pain before he was down, but just how everything looked, it was just bad. He already had missed practice with a knee problem and it really looked like he probably tore something in his knee or leg. If he doesn’t get put on IR, it would be a minor miracle in my opinion. it was just a nasty thing, kind of like when hart got his ankle twisted.
As for the fumble itself, its like Collie’s earlier in the year and Addai’s. I don’t blame him for it simply because of what happened.

EMH's random topic of the day: I'd say they're doing it wrong.
The “they” I’m referring to would be the protagonists in the book that won the latest “Bad Sex in Fiction Prize”.
Author Rowan Somerville won literature’s little-coveted Bad Sex in Fiction Prize Monday for the use of unsettling insect imagery in his novel “The Shape of Her.”
Judges of the annual literary award said they were especially impressed by a passage comparing lovemaking to “a lepidopterist mounting a tough-skinned insect.”
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/40434844/ns/today-books/
I hate to say it, but to be evocative, the action being described must be a culturally common thought if not outright shared experience. And I can think of few things less shared than… well, that. By mounting an insect, I’d hope the author would be referring to taxidermy… but I’m stopped cold at the thought that it was indeed intended as a sexual reference. 
Yeech! (∗shudders∗)

Probably something to do with butterflies
since lepidoptera is an order that deals with butterflies.
/had a friend obsessed with butterflies
"Lord, beer me strength."
Well if it's butterflies (or moths)
I think the author takes mounting to mean the actual mounting with pins. Butterflies are delicate whereas a tough-skinned insect would be harder to pin. Not sure how that would describe…lovemaking…though. Having to be rough when you’re used to gentle, maybe?

A lepidopterist is a person who specialises in the study of Lepidoptera, members of an order encompassing moths and the three superfamilies of butterflies, skipper butterflies, and moth-butterflies. The term also includes hobbyists who are not formal scholars, and, who catch, collect, study, or simply observe lepidopterans.

They’ll top out around 6th in the Big 10.
Also, i’m kind of torn on this OSU game. On the one hand, I’d love for them to choke and fail, but on the other hand I hate the ACC, so a Big 10 win would be good.

Ok.
The average 4" pancake has about 10 to 12 grams of carbs, very roughly, and heavily dependent on ingredients. I’d guess that being the size of a large fast food drink, yours would be what, about 3 inches across or so? So while it’s fallacious to substitute area for volume, in this case I’ll presume that area is a good substitute for this back-of-the-envelope calculation. So, I’ll presume that they’re roughly the same thickness of a regular pancake, therefore would be 75% of the carbs, so that’s from 7.5 to 9 grams of carbs. I should add an extra half gram or so for the chocolate chips, which would make it 8 to 10.
Eating all 10 would be 80 to 100 grams of carbs.
Now, depending heavily on body type, the average recommendation for carb intake is around 60 grams per meal, presuming a 3-meal day and 1,600 calories per day standard diet. For people wanting to lose weight, it would be less, for people exercising or indulging in heavy physical activity, it must be more. 60g includes a lot of presumptions, but it’s a fair baseline.
Presuming standard activity, which would require around 1,600 calories a day (again, many, many presumptions built into that figure), the 60 g per meal would hold.
So, making all sorts of presumptions of AJforAZ being a standard guy with a standard metabolism, standard physical activity, yadda yadda, the baseline recommendation per meal would be 60. At minimum, consuming all 10 would be around 80.
Conclusion: YOU’RE MAKIN’ YOURSELF FAT!!!
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
Kidding... joke...
I’ve eaten waaaaaay in excess of a standard carb allotment for one meal (and being diabetic, that’s bad. Just look up the carbs in a standard 8 to 10 in pizza for how bad I’ve gotten in one setting before). For non-diabetics, it’s consumption over time.
But dammit, what’s the internet for if not to bust other people’s chops?

Ah well, I gotta stop being a pussy about it. Maybe I’ll just kick her new Boyfriend’s ass when I go back to England. That’ll make me feel better :-D
I hear he’s a little scrawny fuck, who’s a douche bag anyway. He’s already beat her up and threatened her with a knife, so I think he’s asking for an ass kicking in my opinion.

Besides, her brother, father and uncle would probably be with me. The good thing about the area is that there is quite a large forest and so her dad and I have joked about making him disappear.

True
I’m hoping that Jackson really does them justice in the Hobbit. It should really be an absolutely epic movie with alot of the CGI that is available now that makes some of the stuff in LOTR1/2/3 look kind of amateurish. I can just imagine the scenes with the dragon using some of the really great special effects that we’ve got today.

Gimli was pure awesomeness.

While I loved the trilogy, a couple of elements of the movie's portrayal of Gimli bugged me.
In the books, he was not just a badass, and not only utterly loyal to his comrades, including the hobbits, but he was also at times eloquent. Which is a weird thought, I know, but you’d have to consider his multiple debates with Legolas over who was the more beautiful elven woman to see what I’m talking about.
And let’s not forget that Gimli at times charming enough (yeah, I know! A dwarf! Imagine that. But it’s there in the book) to be able to convince Galadriel to give him a lock of her hair. Which was something she pointedly refused to do for another (forget who) in the past.
I know, of course, that many of those subtle aspects of a given character’s characterization in a book simply cannot be translated into a movie. And I accept that. But there are times when I wish more effort would be made to include, however roughly, at least some other aspect. For example: The hobbits tended to be pretty eloquent themselves, and much was made of their inherent courtesy by others. We didn’t really see much of that charm put onscreen (although again, I admit to not knowing how to have pulled that off in the confines of a movie script).
Well, at any rate, it was still a damn amazing movie (yes, I own the special editions of all of them), and on the whole loved the heart and bonhomie that Rhys-Davies put into his portrayal of Gimli. It’s just that you get spoiled when you know all the background that’s given in the books, and that sometimes really screws up your appreciation for the film. I have to work hard to counter that, as well as to remind myself that movies can get utterly hacked apart and indistinguishable from their original roots. So therefore I have to be glad that LOTR fell into Peter Jackson’s hands – who’d treat it with respect and dignity – than some hack bastard who’d ruin it.

Ya, that book took it out of me too. Tolkien just wrote with such vivid detail in such a condensed version that its hard to keep everything together. To top it off so much of the detail he wrote in was never published. He wrote half a dozen FULL languages specifically for Elves, Dwarves, Mordor, Gondor and Rohan, not to mention their variations over the different ages of the world. I’m pretty sure he had 3 completely unique languages for the Elves alone.
That kind of detail is nearly impossible to absorb and be a functional member of society.

So Michigan is up on Clemson.
Iowa lost, OSU and Northwestern won. We could go into tomorrow with a 3-2 lead in the ACC/Big10 challenge.
That means we win if we get 3 wins out of
IU vs. Boston College
Purdue vs. Virgina Tech
MSU vs. Duke
Wisconsin vs. NC State
Penn St. vs. Maryland
I think IU, Purdue, MSU, and Wisconsin are all winnable games with a good shot. Wisconsin and IU are probably the most winnable followed by Purdue, then MSU. I just don’t trust Penn St. yet to think they’d pull one out vs. Maryland.

Why is your grammar so awful? Or are all Colts fans just idiots who never graduated highschool?
I read the post, and while I admit I’m not an absolute master of the English language I don’t really see any glaringly obvious grammatical errors. Am I mistaken?

Not to be "that guy,"
but there are some grammatical errors. They’re not of the glaringly obvious variety, but of the “I am a Grammar Nazi and wish to make myself seem superior by pointing them out” variety.

And the soundtrack for that movie is absolute perfection. It is probably my favorite movie overall, followed by the third, and then the first.

Not all hard-core fans of a team have to live in the area of the team. Jobs, circumstances, or preference can often get in the way of that. Some of the biggest Colts fans I know don’t live anywhere near Indy.

As Texans friend, I like joining in when I have time. Which is why you haven’t heard from me all day. I just got home. Today was a BEAR at work!
"My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me." -- Benjamin Disraeli
What do you do,
if you don’t mind me asking?

I don't mind.
I work for a call center. I’m in the administrative department. My job duties are actually a cross between administrative and technical. I have answered phones, but haven’t done that regularly in several years (been with the company 15+ years).
All of our agents answer calls on a system which features a custom script for each client which has to be programmed. I don’t usually do the initial client programming, but I have more knowledge on how the system works than our customer service department. So if a change needs to be made that they can’t handle, they will send it to me. Then if it’s over my head, I forward it on to our Tech Department.
The BEAR that I was referring to yesterday had to do with my other major area of responsibility: invoicing our clients. We do this every 4 weeks. The day we invoice usually goes fairly well, but only because there is a lot of prep work that gets done in the days leading up to billing day. The BEAR I was referring to yesterday had to do with trying to get my prep work for billing day finished and being handed a major project to change the programming on the voicemail system (another area of “expertise” for me) for one of our clients.

OK, for those that don't know...
There was a movie called Pay it Forward, which had a storyline of people doing something nice for someone and then it keeps going around in a circle. Similar to the Liberty Mutual commercials. Anyhow, the notion got popular with the movie but I believe it’s been around for awhile. I think it used to be called Pass It On or something like that. So the powers that be (or some random schmuck on FB) decided that today is Pay it Forward day.

Good lord, there must be an inch and a half of snow there
(I mean this sarcastically and really at the same time. an inch and a half of snow in London is rare, and yes that much can shut down a major airport)
And yes, I do believe the Canary Islands go by the same name in the US. (Someone who is older and spent more time in the US can correct me as my geographical knowledge is a mix-match of US and UK names).

Some kind of seed thing that is supposed to taste like/resemble rice or cous cous.
Apparently it’s super healthy for you because it has all the amino acids needed to be a “complete protein”. Yeah…I’m a little nervous.
He who makes a beast of himself relieves the pain of being a man
That probably means it has the amino acids we can't synthesize.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi.
"If I couldn't play for the Colts, I would probably stop playing football." - Peyton Manning.
From the article I read
The remarkable thing about quinoa is that it is one of the rare plant-based foods that supplies all nine essential amino acids, including the elusive lysine, making it a complete protein. While food from animal sources almost always contains complete proteins, vegetable sources of protein are most often lacking in one or more essential amino acids. This makes quinoa an excellent option for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone interested in adding non-meat proteins to their diet.

SI.com-Top Ten Failed Sports Dynasties
Greetings -
SI.com writers and editors have put together who they feel are the Top Ten Greatest Sports Dynasties That Never Happened. In every sport, there seems to always be a franchise who constantly win in the regular season only to find themselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard come playoff times. Many of the teams on this list had fans believing they would win multiple championships but were never able to achieve the dynasty title. Here are the top 10…

Given the past decade, I kind of agree, but we’ve still got another decade or so to change that stigma in my opinion. All it takes is going to another SB this year or next and I think we won’t be nearly as much of a let down. That’ll be 3 SBs in the same span of time as the Patsies.

Too skinny. If he could pack on like 30-40 lbs he could be.
But I’m not sure he’s got the frame to support that much bulk. Even gaining all that he’d still be light at about 285 or so.

"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."-George Orwell
Odds are
It will be torn down before 2022. The thing is, it’s chosen by cities, not stadiums. I bet the LA game will be in a new NFL stadium.
Obviously the biggest name off of that is Soldier Field where the U.S. plays most of its games. The reason was that Chicago had just lost the 2016 Olympics and didn’t want to spend the money on building….smh for them. Good for Indy though.

Proud Colts fan boycotting StampedeBlue.com since 7/17/2010

I consider it a bad sign when I get answers that are simple
Especially in the US. Enyland does simple answers, but US mechanics and physics classes don’t enjoy doing that. Way too obvious when you get a correct answer I guess….

We could already have the Big 10/ACC Challenge wrapped up before Duke gets their ass handed to them by MSU.

True.
Purdue is up by 4. IU is down a dozen or so, but Wiscy is up by nearly 20, so If IU comes back and Wiscy doesn’t implode we could absolutely dominate this years challenge.

Both.
Purdue is kind of in a slump, and VT is probably the second best team in the ACC. Not Duke’s level, I’d say, but they are a very defensive minded team.

I loved how the announcers in the Iowa-Michigan State game talked a ton about how
Kirk Cousins grew up a huge Iowa fan in eastern Iowa and was being recruited by Iowa.
They offered QB (at the time) Marvin McNutt a scholarship instead. Cousin’s was bitchmade by Iowa’s D while (now a starting WR) McNutt is burned into MSU fans memories catching a last second TD to beat them last year.

I’m sad to quell some of the @kottke-induced excitement about possible extraterrestrial life. I’ve seen the Science paper. It’s not that.
I’m actually sad about that. Yes, I knew that it was unlikely that extraterrestrial life was discovered. But you always hope it will be, regardless of odds.
