Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 8/3/2011

THIRD CHANCES WOULD BE REFLECTIVE OF A TRINITY-FRIENDLY UNIVERSITY. Senior wide receiver Michael Floyd has been reinstated to the Notre Dame football team, according to UND.com, which posted this nice long interview with Brian Kelly where he explains his rationale for making the decision after Floyd's second alcohol-related incident. He also has an advantage over the previous four Notre Dame coaches in his ability to speak for long stretches without sounding a.) rabid, b.) lobotomized, c.) wacked on Haldol, or d.) like he's gustily lecturing a five year old about the virtues of the stop and go passroute. 

We wish Floyd all the luck in the world in his attempt to "change his life," as Kelly said, but remind him that even if he gives up drinking, visualization remains a powerful method for enhancing athletic success.

You lay out for that chocolate milk, Floyd. Beercolate milk. Whatever helps you catch it, dammit. I've got three years to turn around the job that's eaten three coaches in a row whole. Imagine it's my barbecued skull if it helps you catch the damn thing. 

SEANTREL WILL HAVE MORE TIME TO HELP HIS FATHER MAKE RAP MUSIC FOR MIDDLE-AGED STAGE FATHERS. Miami offensive lineman and former blue chip recruitnik idol Seantrel Henderson may miss the entire season due to back surgery, and will thus spend the entire 2011 season rehabbing and attempting to survive the rigors of Al Golden's Cybex jungle. His father, if you'll recall, allegedly used his own aspirations as a rapper as a factor in helping his son determine where he was going to school, so there will be plenty of days to stalk Pitbull with the demo tape now. ("You'll love my jam about Zocor!")

CINCINNATI FOOTBALL DEMANDS CASH. The Big East's next tv deal, if and when it arrives, will be the most gratuitously oversized television deal of all unless the MAC agrees to move its operations to Dubai. Don't laugh: the MAC is totally moving to Dubai. In other Big East news, Brett McMurphy thinks TCU's move to the Big East will help keep Gary Patterson, and that is totally true until it is not.

A GOOD STORY THAT INVOLVES THE WORD "CANCER." Rob Long, cancer survivor and Syracuse punter, gets a call to an NFL workout. Please say a scout had to write "cancer" under "possible drawbacks," because that would make them feel as bad as they should about their jobs.

PENN STATE PREVIEWS WITHOUT OLD PERSON JOKES. Come to Bill C's Penn Schtaaaate preview and we promise no zombie or ancient underwear jokes about Joe Paterno. Okay, maybe just a few of them.

HE HAD TO BE THAT DUDE WHO COULD KILL YOU WITH A KNIFE FROM ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE MAP. Former OSU lineman Quinn Pitcock played up to 18 hours of COD a day, and we're stuck somewhere between disgust and admiration, because we bet he was INCREDIBLE at this game, and had all the guns and things and bombs and stuff. WHO NEEDS FRIENDS WHEN YOU CAN SUMMON VIRTUAL ATTACK DOGS WITH YOUR MIND? BTW, if you want a positive story about an Ohio State grad or fan, well we don't have one of those for you here, or especially here

REALLY DEVELOP THAT PERSECUTION COMPLEX, BRAH. Felder's right: it's important to becoming a proper fan, and especially relevant if you're a UNC fan who can point to this and say "SEE THEY'RE STEALING OUR RECORDS TO DEMOLISH OUR PROGRAM, PAWWWWWWLLLLL." 

ETC.  The Least Watchable Teams piece was fun, but so was reading up on some of the teams we had never seen play. Stan Parrish should not coach the footballs ever for any reason anywhere ever. As for why we left off Mississippi State, Blutarsky? Because we liked watching them suck, so grandiose was their coach-killing horror. Plus they won four games, a lofty total for the group we described, and because they actually had a defense. The teams we described? Horrendous in every imaginable way.

Florida has new towers, and yes, they do look kind of prison-y. The CFL is un-Canadian in its violence and lack of manners here. North Korea is so alt, y'all. Necessary diagrams. Beauty pageants should always include a squatting portion of the contest.

I grew up in Houston

but the pro sports teams just disappointed too well. I hope the Rockets sent Michael Jordan a Thank You card for stepping away from basketball in 1994

by DONSLIQ on Aug 3, 2011 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

The one pro-bouncyhoops subject that will make me say

IT’S INTERNET GO TIME, MISTER.

1. I do believe Michael Jordan was eliminated from the playoffs in 1995. This happened. The Rockets then SWEPT the team that eliminated him.

2. The Rockets routinely gave the Bulls fits with Jordan. Hakeem spent 1994-95 embarrassing the likes of David Robinson and Shaq, so you can imagine what he was doing to Luc Longley.
2a. The first three Jordan championship teams went 1-5 against the Rockets.

Conclusion: The Rockets owe Jordan jack shit. Jordan owes the Sonics a thank you card for eliminating his biggest threat.

by lhb98 on Aug 3, 2011 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

This is completely accurate in all of its particulars.

Except the thank you should perhaps go to some seriously questionable refs from game 7 of that Sonics-Rockets series.

I only hate one of those two

The Floyd decision, on it’s surface seems hypocritical, but, and I’m sure this is just Blue and Gold covered glasses, I like the idea that instead of a slap on the wrist punishment to satiate the media, Kelly seems to actually be trying to help Floyd turn his life around.

Also, it’s not a coincidence that ResLife has softened. There’s a new head of the Department there after the old one got fired under pressure from alumni and parents for his draconian punishment system.

What's even better is that Kosovo is known for having earthquakes.

Never really big ones, but we had a stretch where we had three in a week, all measuring about 4.0 or so.

When we asked the local governments if they had any plan on how to deal with a catastrophic quake, there response was basically that they expected us (NATO) to take care of it. Ummmmmm, yeah… about that…

depends on the engine...

but with AC and leather, she’s into the ‘luxury fastback’ production set of around 17,000. (The total production for Mustangs in 67 was just over 470,000)

Also fun facts:
a convertible top option in 67 cost less than: power steering, front disc brakes, vinyl for the roof, tilt wheel, AM radio or cruise control.

Ok.

Optional discs. 390ci 320 hp from 600 cfm Holley 4 barrel or 289ci 271hp with the same carb or a 2V depending on trim.
First year of the tilt wheel and fold down rear seat. Cruise control.

And just to help you out: Yes, Brittany Blue is an original color from that year. I’m sure you don’t want/know the VIN.

If you tell me it has the original hood scoop with working driver facing turn signals I am driving to OK and stealing it from your parents.

I don't know the VIN number, could have it in a few minutes (mom is home today)

I don’t know if it’s the “original” hood, but it’s a 67 hood for that model. Car went through a flood in late 70s in Oklahoma and grandfather rebuilt it. (so no not engine which came with car either, but nothing was upgraded after flood)

Preventative action from similar minds

Keep in mind, Broncos front office people were disciples of Belichek…and if you were paying attention to the draft the Pats had traded their way, first, out of the First Round, and then were making their way back into the tail end of it. There was a school of thought that they were coming after Tebow. Brady isn’t exactly a ‘mobile’ quarterback so if your the Pats getting Tebow for third and short, and fourth and short situation (which Belichek loves to go for it in) makes sense.

by Phocion on Aug 3, 2011 11:57 AM EDT up reply actions  

i get that

but that only makes it more horrible. because the broncos were in a much different situation than the Pats, and if your mindset for basically throwing away a first round draft pic is “so they cant do it” then you shouldnt even have a job where yo uget to make those kinds of decisions.

Drafting a QB in the 1st round is STUPID. It's like going all in hoping for a straight

flush on the river card in poker. It’s a low percentage play that will bust you out more often than not. Draft tackles, corners, wideouts, and pass-rushers in the 1st.

How many other QB's were taken in the 1st round that busted out. You need

a good QB to win in the NFL but the odds of drafting one is pretty low. Acquire one in free agency (like Brees). I would also submit that Eli’s presence was inconsequential to the Giants winning the Super Bowl. It had much more to do with the NY defense than anything else.

This article is old. However, it gives you an idea at least as of 2006 how hard it is to find good QBs after the first round. They re-ran the article in 2007 but the graphs don’t load.

Brees, BTW, was a 2nd round pick only available a) because the Chargers drafted his replacement, and b) Brees wrecked his shoulder. How many other elite QBs have hit the market recently?

What in the hell do I have to do now to get them out? File for a stay on the Chap. 13 to get them out?

The problem is that I already filed the eviction paperwork

And then got a notice in the mail that their paperwork was filed three days prior. This supercedes mine and puts a stop on all legal matters, putting me in an indefinite holding pattern. And pisses away my $221 I spent on filing the eviction.

I don’t really believe there are more deaths now than back in the ’50s and 60s when men were men (who dropped dead due to thirst/exhaustion/salt-peter-toxicosis) coached by men (who took what amounted to babysitting a bunch of kids way too seriously).

Not to be insensitive

But it’s rare for those deaths not to involve gross stupidity. I like to backpack in mountainous regions (or what pass in the East for mountains), which means people falling and dying every year. Every ranger I’ve talked to has attributed every death to stupidity on the part of the dead person (or, sadly, if the dead person is a child, on the parents).

Alas, no.

People with corner offices are still discussing

It costs them moneyz to send me out there and they can’t agree on who is paying for my plane/hotel/etc and from which projects budget it will be pulled.

They’ll argue for 5 hours and eventually decide to pull it from the big ‘training’ budget and split it down the middle (like last time). /sigh

I’ll keep you abreast of the happenings.

I mean, I'll introduce myself formally.

It’s the other part I can’t guarantee.

You!

The Cards-Brewers game has gone full HAM
5-4 Brewers after 3. Casey McGehee has 2 HRS, Furcal has a HR, and Corey Patterson has a double. I guess it’s “underacheiving/bad hitters breakout day”

Home Run, Furcal?? SS originally from the Braves???

Who never ever hit over .240 when he was there????

The voices in my head sound just like Hope Solo. No wonder I do all these crazy things

He has actually been really good as a Dodger

But he got hurt and hasn’t played much this year. So that combined with the fact that Dodgers are broke, means he got traded to the Cardinals.

Also, Edwin Jackson, who up until last week was a pitcher in the AL has two hits. I told you it was a good day to be a shitty hitter.

They are fun.

I don’t much like Colt’s, and I can’t stand wrap-around grips like the ones in the pic above, but it’s hard to go wrong with a 1911. $500 will get you started, and another $Texas to customize it however you like, up to an including hot pink Hello Kitty pearlite grips. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Florida's new practice field only strengthens the resemblance between the program and Cool Hand Luke.

“How about we do a complex set of routes that should pop Jeff Demps free on the wheel up the left sideline, coach?”

18 hours of CoD per day?
