Around SBN: Cowboys Draft 2012: The Big Board Version 3.0

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 2/7/2011

HEY, THANKS BURT! Man, Burt Reynolds just cuts through the fog like a whale fart, doesn't he?

(Via.)

CRAIG JAMES HAS FOUND HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER. They shall be called the Choad Warriors, and their reign over the WWE will be short, and kind of shitty.

At NFL-Xperience and Phil Simms just threatened 2 hit me b/c I said his son was 1 of the worse QBs in the SEC. I told him "LET'S GO!"

I am DEAD serious about the Phil Simms thing. We all thought he was joking, but he kept going and said he wanted 2 take a swing at me!!

It ended w/police stepping in between so I could continue my appearance w/fans.

Desmond Howard did in fact call Matt Simms one of the worst quarterbacks in the SEC, a statement of definitive statistical factness that must have appalled Simms on two levels: as a father who hates to hear bad but true things about his son, and because no one in the NFL ever says anything honest about the people they cover because of some strange Senatorial ban on critical speech. (Please note that this does not apply to the NFL Network, where they feel comfortable enough to talk shit about each other.) 

FURTHER ADVENTURES OF ADULTS BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY. Cyrus Kouandjio's tortured recruitment ended with a commitment to Alabama on Saturday and yes, the actual faxing of a non-forged signature to Tuscaloosa. Responses on Facebook were mature, measured, and responsible given the actual importance globally-speaking of an 18 year old's college decisions.

Screen_shot_2011-02-07_at_9

All fealty to your team aside, it's just disrespectful to your genes that were passed down so lovingly through the generations to say such things to larger, stronger, and faster people. Kouandjio now takes the [REDACTED]th scholarship offered by Alabama this year. Nick Saban will not comment, as he is busy waterboarding the shit out of Mark Barron, a task that should keep him occupied through mid-February as he yells "MATCH HIS HIP TO YOUR HIP IN SINGLE COVERAGE" over and over again. All part of the process.*

*That's how you make champions, Paawwwwwwl. Mike DuBose banned the use of electricity as behavior modification, and I ask you: DIDN'T WE GET SOFT, PAAAAWWWWLLL? 

WHAT IS STANDARD PRACTICE FOR US IS SHOCKING TO YOU. Bo Pelini likes his heads rolling and fresh, recruits be damned. This is really only unusual because it is Nebraska, which has a reputation for straight talk with recruits. It will all be forgotten if Nebraska hires away Scott Frost from Oregon, both because Scott Frost is still lionized by the Lincoln general public, and also because he's scary enough to stare everyone into submission. (Please remember: that's him holding LeGarrette Blount back from the crowd in Boise in 2009. He's a Nordic Ice Giant.) 

Note: we see this, and will update later.

"THIS CLASS WAS WEAK AT LINEBACKER AND OFFENSIVE LINE." Not panicking, transition year, breathe into paper bag for hours on end, repeat.

OF COURSE YOU WOULD PROPOSE THAT ALABAMA FANS DID IT TO THEMSELVES. Fescue terrorism is always entertaining, but it crosses the line into "Alabama entertaining" when you unearth the conspiracy theory that Alabama fans did this to themselves.

I use Twitter as my news feed now.

Follow the right people, and you’ll get all the news handed to you in condensed form without having to wade through entire articles. (Not that my Twitter follow list is a good example of that; I had to pare things down when reporters decided that I cared about their hangnails.)

I have a FF add-on that gives me popups with tweets so I never have to deal with the site itself. I’ll turn it off during tweet-tastic events (like the Super Bowl) so I don’t have to deal with 40o tweets/minute about THIS COMMERCIAL.

But seriously, I read about a tenth of the articles that I used to thanks to Twitter. And if I need the reference for my own writing, they always provide the link within the tweet.

How do the strangers posting on the dumbfuck's post fit into this?

(I.e., Julian Shepherd on Blake Ferguson’s post). Are both parties equally dumbfuckish, or does the attempt to out-dumbfuck a dumbfuck register on some sort of dumbfuck-agitator, thereby increasing dumbfuckishness of the second party?

I ask because as dumbfucky as the “Go Die” dude was, he seemed content with a simple “fuck you.” The shirt-and-tie guy who cyberstalked him showed some real heart and creepiness out there (and despite 20 years in real estate, understands neither the concept of fraud nor the concept of hypocrisy).

RE Oversigning

I have heard two lines of thought on oversigning…

1. Yes, it can lead to unfavorable outcomes for players.

2. It’s not a competitive advantage.

It oversigning can be seen as morally objectionable (yes, I know it’s not technically against NCAA rules) but on the other hand is of no advantage; why do some coaches feel compelled to do it?

Of course the Big Ten banned oversigning in 1956.

Leaders, bitches.

It's a brand of pressure treated lumber.

They used to be known as Osmose and got their advertising start filming commercials with SEC coaches in the 80’s. Pat Dye, Gene Stallings, Ray Goff, etc. Now they have the Yella Fella, played by Rane.

As a general rule they would do better to look at the iTunes download charts 8 weeks before the game and pick something that’s trending upward. Then they’d only be 3-5 weeks behind the curve.

If it makes you feel any better...

Michigan Man Brady Hoke did an interview where he said basically the same thing. hahahahaha!

I mean, yeah, sure, ND may have a large, vocal dumbass contingent, but at least we don’t have a HEAD COACH proclaiming his ignorance to the media.

How 'bout Somethang New Dept

How about this:
Both Simms and Howard are Right.
1) Howard for stating the obvious (true stuff on Jr.)
2) And, Simms for sticking up for Jr (to show family solidarity) and in the process raising the stature of Howard in the college footbaw commentatin’ world
On third thought, I think Simms worsened Jr’s situation at Tenn. At ease ladies…..

One day in the future,

There will be a head coach raised entirely on Madden/NCAA Football who will never punt or opt to go for 1 after a TD. And it will be glorious.

My only argument is you're stupid.
