November 20th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
You’re not asking Trent Dilfer to be an NFL QB. We know he sucked at that.
He’s a pretty analyst, I think. He can’t be any worse than Gruden or some of the other guys out there.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
If Jon Gruden leaves for a coaching job, who might replace him on MNF? Trent Dilfer is an option.
Andy Reid
He seems like the “I can hear him breathe” type of fat guy. Not sure how that would work.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Occasionally. And I often find myself disagreeing. But I prefer that to a commentator who doesn’t make me even question my thinking.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Truest thing I’ll read on the series of tubes all day.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Yeah, Harrison got suspended last year after pushing Colt McCoy. I did not see that Ed Reed suspension coming at all. I wish these officials would look at how the hit happens instead of the final result. It’s not the defenders fault when the WR lowers his head to create the helmet to helmet hit. More than half of these penalties are accidents that can’t be avoided.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
NOT PRETTIER THAN HERBSTREIT. you take that back!
November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM

November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Had this happened before? Surely someone like James Harrison has had 3 offenses in less than 3 years right? Ed Reed seems like a weird guy to make a point with.
That hit on Sunday looked pretty clear that he was targeting up high, and he’d already been nicked once this season for the same thing.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:50 AM

I think Gruden’s much prettier.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:51 AM

November 20th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
Ugh, you’re right. He’s only a “pretty good” analyst.

You can have all the scrapple you want. For me, tough choice between bacon, sausage or ham. All in what you feel like on the average day.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
I had to google scrapple.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
it’s more of a network problem than a pure dilfer problem. sure, if trent dilfer was just a regular guy who didn’t fuck dead people, he’d probably ONLY be a shitty analyst and not a necrophiliac shitty analyst, but i guess he does look like the turd wrapped in tin foil compared to the rest of those mouthbreathers espn trots out there.
frankly, i think mangini’s the best of that sorry bunch.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
I cannot bring myself to try scrapple. Looks like spam, and spam is vomit inducing.

I will go with corned beef hash all day, every day.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
Check this out: AJ Smith hired Reid. Then, AJ gets fired. The new GM comes in…and hires Norval as OC, and Romeo Crennel as DC. Then, we get the Chargers on Hard Knocks next summer and shazam!
As much as I hate reality TV, I would watch this. Maybe you would too.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:54 AM

Andy Reid will give up French Crullers before he allows his football team to be on “Hard Knocks”. He’s notorious for keeping press at arm’s length; having HBO in his training camp would be very out of character.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
Georgetown 78, UCLA 78.
Your hatred of Georgetown knows no ends.
Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus,[1][2] is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then panfried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste.
Had to Google it as well, Htown. Holy shit. That sounds horrid.

Need to try goetta. It’s like somebody mixed pork, spices and oatmeal, pressed it into a loaf and baked it. Tatse and texture are better than scrapple IMO – plus, none of the nasty pig bits.
November 20th, 2012 at 8:58 AM

obviously if you use prosciutto in breakfast and it would be delicious. but you’re comparing a quality cut of meat against garbage (but delicious) cuts of meat.

The Ravens fans have no way they can bitch about Reed getting suspended. The Ravens (and Steelers) have gotten away with a ton of shit over the years. Josh Gordon trucked Ed Reed a few weeks ago on that block, and if that was Hines Ward, would have been praised as good hard football. The the NFL is so mad at Ed Reed, it will probably suspend TJ Ward on the Browns another two weeks.
Mind you, I have no problem with him with being a wildcard back there. Reed can barely stay healthy anymore anyways – so a week off will help him most likely.
November 20th, 2012 at 9:13 AM

One of the most shocking career turnaround ever. Never questioned his talent but I thought for sure he would be in jail by now. I read that feature too. I enjoyed the tidbit about how during one year, the longest time law enforcement and blazers players didn’t have a run in was 17 days. That’s crazy. I’m shocked those years didn’t kill off the fan base.

Sadlowski made a cut at the Nationwide Tour event in Boise (last year I think). He can play. He avg’d 360 off that tee that week. I know he played pro-am rounds in Hawaii with PGA guys last year and they said he’s pretty legit.

The the NFL is so mad at Ed Reed, it will probably suspend TJ Ward on the Browns another two weeks.
here’s the thing. the steelers (most notably Ryan Clark) saw which way the wind was blowing an adjusted. Clark was an out-and-out headhunter, but once the league otlawed helmet to helmet and started fining and suspending, he started aiming lower. James Harrison had what I believe to be a mostly undeserved reputation, but he’s adjusted (and been not as good, but I don’t think they’re connected). It doesn’t look like Ed Reed has adjusted.

James Harrison had what I believe to be a mostly undeserved reputation,
He played within the framework of the times but James Harrison is a piece of shit headhunter with no real talent and excelled only due to the vast amounts of pharmaceuticals injected into his body. Fuck him. They’d be much better off with an extreme drug policy that trying to legislate after-the-fact on some plays that are just impeccably timed football hits.

November 20th, 2012 at 9:30 AM
Ed Reed aint no saint. Now, he’s HOF material but he absolutely throws in the cheapshot with some regularity. Now, part of that is the position he plays. He’s not tagged as a headhunter b/c he obviously has overriding skills that validate his status in the league, nor does he rely on the “headhunter” for reputation. But he definitely is a repeat offender.

one of the poster boys why “drive for show, putt for dough” is bullshit. his wedge game and putter improved a lot last year and yet he didnt compete/win more or less than he did in previous years.
dude prob gets 2 strokes per round over the field because of ihs driving ability. and the top 10 in strokes gained putting had four wins amongst all of em. much easier to play the game as a par 68 thanks to your distance adv than it is par 70-72.

Not.
You’re saying Reed lined him up to intentionally go helmet to helmet on him? I’m sure that is what he was trying to do, given his neck and nerve problems. And the fine he got for the hit on Branch early in the season, that was absolutely Branch ducking his head as Reed was “lining him up”. That is one of the hits they are factoring into this suspension. But don’t let me dust up your banana colored glasses.

DJ is a good putter. Chipping? Course management? Those are his downfalls. He’s pretty damn opportunistic when he gets in birdie range. 3rd from 15-20 feet on Tour. 50th overall.
DJ is terrible 125 yards and in. Every yardage breakdown under 125 yards he’s ranked 120th or worse on Tour.

And then gives them right back after he honks a 100 yard wedge 90 feet to the right and three-putts.
I get what you’re saying and yeah he’s improved, but DJ is so incredibly talented that he should be right on the doorstep closing in on Rory. He should easily be the best American golfer. Who’s even close to him, talent-wise, outside of Tiger? Keegan?
November 20th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
yea, but you don’t get killed from that range. worst case, you’re looking at a 2-putt or having to get up and down…the danger zone (175-225) is more important, where he’s 41st from 175-200 and 8th from 200+. he gets birdie or better on almost 53% of his par 5′s.
like i said…easier to play a par 68 than a par 70-72.

since he said after the game that he has been having shoulder problems and has avoided trying hit with his shoulder, yes.
November 20th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
GOLF talent-wise? id take nick watney, webb simpson, bubba, dufner, kuchar and sneds over him. maybe keegan. id put ZJ and stricker up there for their short games too, which are every bit as good as DJ’s long game (you just can make up more ground with the long game).

November 20th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Not sure what you’re trying to say.
“yea, but you don’t get killed from that range”
DJ loses tournaments b/c of his shortgame. He’s making cuts but certainly not winning as often as his talent level warrants. I don’t think this is even a question. Yeah, he’s great with the long game. But he’s a good putter. There’s plenty of guys on tour in his distance range that can’t putt (Garrigus, Woodland, Stanley).
Would his short game be enough of a liability that you think it would exclude him winning at Augusta? Answer is definitely yes. He doesn’t need to become Luke Donald overnight but he should be in the 60-80 range if he wants to win some majors IMO.
November 20th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
I had a run in a couple months ago with the course manager, dude was a total dick and tried to talk to me like I was in high school. he didn’t appreciate me standing up to him, which apparently not many people do.

I am not sure. I am not a Rory apologist (not sure if I am for any guy) but if don’t tell me DJ has ever had a short game display like Rory had at Tuscon this year. He worked ward on his short game last year and helped him a ton. It got him to the match play final as he was off in that match vs. Westwood. Also a few of those sand saves at Honda were absurd.
Maybe this was in a Masters chat, as my over-riding theme is for Augusta, take a guy who can play that like a par 68/69 – which I don’t think Tiger can do anymore. That may have been where my Rory talk came from.

Dustin and Rory are 32/33 in scrambling. So he might be okay. It’s just odd he misses so many greens and such and has such terrible stats from 125 in. So maybe he has gotten better on the chipping bit. Dufner, 8th in scrambling? Awesome.

DJ never had a short game like that, but it’s relative…we’re not saying DJ has a chance to be one of the four or five greatest players ever to touch a club like rory. rory’s better, obviously, but they both struggle from the same afflictions…lack of focus/management, lack of finesse (tho rory’s got way more touch).
all im saying is that DJ’s a very good/elite player because of his long game skills, which are very, VERY considerable and he makes as much, if not more dough, than most of the great putters on tour because the closer you are to the hole, the impact of your misses on your score decreases.
a 75% quality shot from 100 yards will leave you with a 20-footer or a chip…a 75% quality shot from 200 yards leaves you with an exponentially more difficult shot.

When Reed starts to duck in for the hit, Sanders’ back is to him, Reed isn’t expecting him to turn around. Sanders does and his helmet comes face to face with Reed’s. Watch Sanders duck his head right before the hit. If you can’t see that I can’t help you and we just agree to disagree.

The Ed Reed deal is bullshit. In law we would say he lacked the mens rea to be guilty of the crime. And I think that’s true in a lot of these situations. The penalty just needs to be called if the defender leads with his head, regardless of results, that way it doesn’t matter if the WR ducks his head or not. If you lead with your head and hit a guy in the chest – penalty; in the shoulder – penatly. Otherwise, there’s too much grey area.

This couldn’t be more true. I’ve been on the practice green with Vijay several times. He’s bad by tour standards, but still very impressive.
November 20th, 2012 at 11:41 AM
Well, yeah. It’s not a vacuum. If you are gonna be bad putter, but you’re still on tour–it stands to reason you’re a great ballstriker. I love convo’s like this. People start putting what makes them shitty into a tour player perspective. On tour, it’s CLEARLY not putting that separates the men from the boys. But on your local muni, or at your club, it’s putting that keeps an 8 hdcp shitty, and makes your local scratch seem so good. Driver, and 180-220 separate the men from the boys. You can get occasionally hot with the putter and win, but you aren’t occasionally a good long iron player/driver. On the PGA Tour here’s the breakdown…from 5 feet, the odds are 75% of a one putt. The 50/50 break is at 8 feet. From 11 feet, the odds drop to 33%, and down to 25% at 14 feet. One out of five at just 16 feet. Once you get to about 20 feet, statistically you might as well be at 35 feet as the numbers aren’t very far apart. So, hit greens from 180-220, and be able to reach the par 5′s. THAT is how you become a great tour player. Your standard shitty 10 hdcp will 3 putt from 30 feet almost 15% of the time. Yes, putting will help him. But it doesn’t really help someone who can actually play the game.

In comparison, bro. In comparison. I’d have to give you 3-4 a side. And Rory would have to give me 3 a side (and on those courses it wouldn’t be enough. I shot 76 on the exact same setup as the PGA guys at Doral in 08 when Ogilvy won on Monday. We were on the 1st tee as he was getting his trophy. Stricker beat me by 13 that day. Under tournament pressure. My Bridgestone buddy, who played at Texas with Crenshaw, shot 72. And I played GREAT.) Scary good is how good they are.

also, the tour greens would fry my nerves after a few weeks. These guys are conditioned mentally to handle hard greens all the time.

Not to mention constantly adjusting to different greens, different grass, all the travel…

putting it in arithmetic context, for some reason, makes it a whole lot easier to swallow. when you see the guys in person, that divide seems MUCH greater.
i remember chilling at 18 at akron and seeing probably 10-12 guys hit it inside where i would from 160-200 yards as i would with a 30 yard pitch. and if that wasnt bad enough, i remember watching phil take full swings for a 10 foot flop shot and not missing a single one.
bastards.

i think the grass strains and travel things are more of a factor than the fast greens…fast greens roll WAY better.
/id get raped by bermuda greens tho
