UZI Suicide

When is Jason White giving back his Heisman?

LOL @ the Redskins. SOOO fucking stupid.

The Giants are cornering the market on DE's with unpronouncable last names.

I think Lienart would be great in the desert. He could learn from Warner, have James in the backfield and throw the ball to Fitz and Boldin. I think most QB's would love that situation. Seriously, he may not get as much money as he would have gotten, but that's got to be almost a dream situation for a QB. Throwing to Fitzgerald and Boldin, handing off to Edgerrin James.. as a rookie. That's a perfect scenario.

If you think the Big 10 had a down year, then what do you call the Big 12 last year? Texas was really the only great team in that conference. Oklahoma had a down year, and the second best team was Texas freaking Tech. The Big 10 was GREAT in 2002. That was the year Ohio State went undefeated and won the national championship. Also, the Big 10 had three teams with 10 wins or more, and Penn State who had 9 wins. The conference went 5-2 in bowl games that year, placing two teams in the BCS. Comparing what Banks and Young each did against USC doesn't hold much water to me, because they played entirely different USC teams. The USC that Banks played was a veteran team that had guys like Troy Polamalu on the squad, while last year's USC defense was REALLY banged up, and REALLY young, with a ton of true freshman playing. And as I said before, I don't see anything with Young that Vick didn't do, or even that Randall Cunningham didn't do. I think Young was in an offense that better hid his weaknesses as a passer, but ultimately I think he's a little bit worse version of Vick. Also - don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying Young is going to be Brad Banks, or that he'll be a total NFL bust. But I'm not sure I see him as a perrenial pro bowler, and I definitely wouldn't take him over someone like Leinart.

He was better in 2004, IMO. Your point of talent helping him would be more valid in 2005, if valid anywhere, because while they had much of the same players, they were "seasoned veterans" in terms of college football, and were much improved from the previous season. In 2004 Dwayne Jarrett dropped a ton of passes and the O-Line was very hot and cold all year long. In 2005 just about everyone was unbelievable, but I don't see how Leinart catches flak for that. It's like the old arguments against the Dallas Cowboys of the early 90's. You always hear, "Aikman was overrated, he had great players around him", but then with Emmitt it's, "He's overrated, he had an elite offensive line and hall of famers at WR and QB", and for Irvin it's, "Well he had Emmitt and Aikman, obviously he'd have big stats." In his final season at Iowa, Banks threw 295 passes, compared to 325 for Young last year. 30 passes.. miniscule difference. They were both running QB's who played in offenses catered to their strengths and weaknesses, and had running ability that helped them as passers, because it kept the defense off balance.

I've lived on the West Coast for Leinart's entire career as well, and I completely disagree. Leinart is what made the offense go. If you were there for Leinart's entire career, you would have seen the 2004 season, where USC ushered in an ENTIRELY new offensive line, ENTIRELY new wide receiver's, including a true freshman starter, and a brand new starting RB. What happened? he won the Heisman. If anyone is innacurate after 10 yards it's Young, not Leinart. I can't even count the number of times I watched Young just sit back and fling up a shitty pass and hope his WR came down with it on the jump ball. Young was far from the best passer last year, I don't care what the stats said. It's impossible to say something like that based on NCAA stats. In 2003, Brad Banks had the highest completion % and QB rating in the nation, and what is he doing now? Frankly, to me, Young is just a little bit worse version of Vick. Neither have great accuracy, but Vick is a little better runner and has a better arm.

I don't see how the Suns can turn this around unless D'Antoni actually starts doing some coaching. Phil has drawn up a perfect gameplan to stop the Suns so far, and D'Antoni really has no answers for it. All we continue to hear is, "We just need to get back to playing Suns basketball". Well, when your opponent is stopping you from playing "Suns basketball", that may be the time to draw up a new gameplan to counteract that. The Suns just have no answer for the Lakers physicality and "runnin' and gunnin'" isn't going to do it.

Leinart is an EXTREMELY accurate passer. One of the most accurate passers to come out of college in quite sometime, that is generally agreed upon by just about everyone that has scouted him. The knock on him has always been arm strength, but I don't really think that's such a big deal.

There have been questionable calls both ways, like the one that just went against Luke Walton.

I'd love to see the scene tomorrow if the Jets don't trade up for Bush and someone else does instead. Reactions in Radio City Music Hall will be classic.

Such a tired arguement. So, everyone on the offense was great, EXCEPT Leinart? It's not possible that Bush and White could have benefited from his ability to stretch the field in the passing game? It's not possible that Dwayne Jarrett could have benefited from having Matt Leinart as his QB from day 1 as a college player? What? What has he ever done to prove that? He's never shown the ability to do a damn thing as a pocket passer. Young has shown the ability to run out of the shotgun. That's it.

With the way things are shaping up, the Raiders may end up with Leinart.

The Texans just passed on Michael Jordan for Sam Bowie. To use an old Mel Kiper quote.. "It's quite obvious they just don't understand how the NFL draft works."

ouch.

I HEARD JOHN CENA SAY THE F WORD.

The porn was probably just those "Teen Topanga" and "Tiffany Teen" sites that are all the craze right now.

Man, the Nuggets look terrible.

The easy way to get around it is to just say, "he's a pitcher for the Red Sox" instead of determining whether or not to say, "he's a red sock/sox" *checks AP style book*

That's a terrible idea. It's just going to come off looking like another Heat or Velocity type of show. "Ok, throw on the ECW ring apron and change the entrance colors to purple, time for the ECW taping!" This is going to be a horrible failure. A big part of ECW was the atmopshere in the arena, the crowds, the connection between fans and wrestlers. You're not going to get that by just taping it before RAW or Smackdown.

The success of the new ECW is going to rely just as much on whether Heyman & Dreamer can build new stars in the company, as it does on how many old ECW'ers come back.

Green Day. I can't even begin to tell you how many people I've run into that think "American Idiot" is the defining album of our generation.
