For the fifth of eight fantasy week I will be playing the highest scoring team in the league (they already have 66 thanks to Martin and Freeman). I’m third in total points scored but in 11th place with a 2-5 record. Teams are average 134 points per week against me. The top scoring team in the league only averages 121.
This has gotta even out eventually, right?

October 26th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
the only reason id hesitate is because the browns are still so raw and have cost themselves a legit three wins because of mental errors. im really liking all the young talent here tho…and, i know the stats say otherwise, but im telling you, weeden is legit.
i think the browns can move the ball downfield on the chargers, but id still go with the bolts without much thought.

I think it was last year that a guy near Hopkins cut an intruder in half with a sword. The guy was taken to court and cleared completely.

In the Chargers’ games I’ve watched this year, their pass rush has been inconsistent, and the DBs (other than Jammer) have been abused regularly. Just like last year. And, everyone knows Rivers is playing more erratically than ever. I could see it going down to the wire on Sunday.

same thing could be said bout the brownies…no pass rush and while sheldon brown’s been ok, the DB’s are susceptible to getting toasted too aside from haden (he tripped on that long TD to AJ green).
re: pass rush…i think the giants got something absurd like three QB hurries against the browns this year in a bunch of attempts. browns OL is unreal in pass pro, so if the giants couldnt get there, dont think SD’s got much of a shot.
October 26th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Also pretty excited about the Wiggins reclass. Don’t want to get my hopes up, but there are rumblings that if he were to reclass he was all but out of the running to go to UK. Hope thats true and it comes down to FSU/UNC/KU/OSU

I actually think the Browns have a decent chance. it’s an early game, with SD travelling, and Cleveland’s D is good enough to rattle fraudy mc pout rivers. pretty sure I tool Cle in the pick em, one of these weeks I am going to be right.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
IJS – on the one hand it looks that way and you have to temper your expecations, but on the other hand, UK is already loaded as it is with the Young commitment. Cal basically told Andrews coach that they are going to have superstars, and if you can’t see yourself carving out a role in that class, then you’d probably be better served looking elsewhere.
This is one of those rare situations where Cal may have gotten too many great players too quickly; if thats even such a thing.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
That train is just barreling down the track….
October 26th, 2012 at 9:05 AM

October 26th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
This is one of those rare situations where Cal may have gotten too many great players too quickly; if thats even such a thing.
This is what people are missing about Wiggins/UK. First, he is best high school player in a decade. You think he worries about fitting in anywhere? Second, Calipari makes the superstars statement to every recruit. Has that stopped him from getting players. Wiggins at UK is a foregone conclusion.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
I want to imagine it took months for NFLN to track down Wayne Fontes until they eventually discovered him drawing plays in the dirt in the hut J Peterman once lived in
October 26th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
It’s a shock if anyone really good DOESN’T pick Kentucky. I’ve never seen anything like it.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Speaking of FO, how much weight do all of you put on advanced football stats? Personally I think they give a slightly better picture of value than traditional metrics like QB rating and TDs, but there are so many moving parts to any one football play that it feels impossible to accurately measure a lot of this stuff. Baseball AS are much better, IMO, both because of the larger data set and the relative simplicity of the game.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
i know that, but he’s still a threat in the redzone and the browns still don’t have anyone who can cover him well. maybe dqwell jackson, but he’s better in zone than shadowing a TE…plus that’d take him away from what he does best.

IJS – What you seem to be missing is he didn’t reclass to play alongside the likes of Randle and Young and the Harrison twins. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, but he is doing and saying all the right things to point to the possibility that he isnt a UK kid at this moment. Will he be at some point? Thats still the best bet right now.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:11 AM
there’s some good stuff out there, especially in regards to importance of yardage (on 3rd downs? early on when the game was still undecided? shit like taht), but not without watching in concert.
i wish there were more hardcore nfl/college scouting blogs. mattwaldmanrsp.com is awesome, but there’s not a whole lot more than that that really gets into what scouts look for.

Yes, it’s offensive. I only used it as tongue in cheek since scouser used it first. But I’d never say it in front of people. Only teh interwebz friends.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
I believe it’s not supposed to be used nowadays. Is there a committee that decides this stuff?
October 26th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Yes, it’s racist. The word itself obviously isn’t but it has taken on an offensive meaning. Really only allowed for rugs and cooking at this point.
October 26th, 2012 at 9:32 AM
I’m not really sure, either, but there are so many other alternatives that using it seems like you’re trying to make a point. Not “you” specifically; anyone.

so, the point of this story is that the unemployment numbers will continue to decrease as the economy deteriorates. What you people continue to ignore in this so called slow job growth is the continued elimination of government jobs. It is intellectually dishonest to not acknowledge this fact, particularly when you’re the party of cutting government. If those government positions on the local, state, and federal level are not coming back and this is the new paradigm, then it should have been noted in the slanted article you linked to.

I’m not sure why this always gets ignored, but your statement is dead on. Our unemployment rate would be between 6.5-7.2 if we maintained all the government jobs we’ve cut on the federal, state and local levels. Not the mention the private sector jobs that have been lost as a result of government workers being laid off.

Here’s another hypothetical — if government workers and positions were held to the same standard as private sector jobs (i.e., if your position proves to be unnecessary, you’re laid off, no pension), the unemployment rate would be even higher.

I had a lawyer friend who made a simiar argument — that by definition, racism can only be perpetrated by a race in the majority. Racial hatred by a race in the minority, he argued, was simply bigotry.
I suggested he use that argument the next time he ran into a pissed-off brotha in a dark alley.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:22 AM
Pretty much the consensus in Mississippi, too.

The Penn State Creamery (FUCK ALL YALL) makes the world’s best chipwiches, hands down.
Yeah it’s strictly a price thing. Trust me Untied Dairy is some hood shit, nothing fancy about it. But 2.50 for a full half gallon is unheard of these days from the other brands.

Not when you’re hungry. So much food, so little stomach space. Next time I go to Vegas, forget hitting up strip clubs, I’m making a pilgrimage to the Venetian buffet.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Two chicks on Shark Tank a while back had an “ice-cream delivery” serivce. They mailed gourmet pints (minimum of four) in dry ice as gifts. It was positioned as an alternative to flowers for special occasions, similar to Edible Arrangements. I thought it was a brilliant idea.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Ever notice how there are a bunch of similar buffets in a town with a large military population?
But, if you’re fluent in Ebonics, it’s like having a passport to the ‘hood. Nothing to worry about at that point.

October 26th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
The first statement was directed at you.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
In the government it’s called a reduction in force or RIF. The other option is Voluntary Early Retirement or the Voluntary Seperation Incentive Plan. Clinton encouraged utilization of these plans in the 90′s when Government was downsized. The early retirement and voluntary options were also used in the downsizing of the military during the same period. Of course we know what happened after he left office. In many ways the government actually has better standards than the private sector.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Yeah. All the sharks liked the idea but they already had an investor that owned 70 percent of the business. No one wanted to mess with that.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:31 AM
Haven’t seen them in person, but they do look sweet. I look forward to getting a couple and then having them ultimately live in my garage when my Ping and Vokey go back in the bag again.

Seems like your saying when the economy is bad the government should hire more people and when the economy is booming the private sector can carry the load.

I realize it’s a tv show and drama is important, but it bothers me when presenters are given a few seconds to decide or their deals are withdrawn. Who wants to make important decisions like that?

Always gotta go with local ice cream spots over the big brands. Some of the Cleveland folk on here might know about this place called Mitchell’s that makes the best ice cream in the world and it is not up for debate.

This is actually true. I used to make a weekly visit to a local strip club with my buddies. Just for the food, obviously, though they did try very hard to get me more involved in the festivities.

“I don’t like strip clubs. It smells like a wet mop in here and I get the feeling that every one of these women is running a low-grade fever. strippers do nothing for me. I like a strong, salt of the Earth, self-possessed woman at the top of her field. Your Steffi Grafs, your Sheryl Swoopeses, but I will take a free breakfast buffet anytime, anyplace.”
October 26th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
I’ve hit them. the spin numbers are off the charts. Like most of the OEM’s, Cleveland tests their wedges with 12 different shots. On 9 of them, the RTX wedges have the most spin–and no other OEM has the top in more than 1. The spin is within 2% of the OLD wedges, pre groove rule, on 8 of the tests. They are phenomenal.
You should NEVER swap between a Vokey and a Cleveland. The Cleveland wedges (along with the Callaway, TM and Mizuno) share a design difference from the Vokeys that make them not swappable. The leading edge on the Titleist is much straighter, and people going from one to the other (either way) can’t get the club lined up properly.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:43 AM

One just popped up across the street from my office. Ive been saying for years this area needed one. It’s fantastic, all these different flavors and you make your own and load it with the toppings you want. And can be semi healthy if you want it to be. Score.

Agreed. The kiddos love it too since they can put their own toppings on there.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
agreed on the shape/alignment…i noticed this big time when comparing the mizzy t-11 (teardrop) and r-12′s (round). i just couldnt hit the r-12′s for the life of me, coming from vokeys, but hit the t-11 just fine.
love how the new 588 looks but i have trouble with controlling my trajectory with cleveland’s (granted, most of the exp has come with the cg14 and cg15). such a shame because they’re gorgeous.

Mitchell’s got their ass handed to them in the Cleveland ice cream championship. The original Honey Hut on State destroys. ECC is also a better but that’s soft ice cream.
Mitchell’s is good. A bit pretentious.
