Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/23/2012

ANOTHER DREAM DEFERRED. We have so many dreams left to fulfill: practicing law without a license, rewriting the Song of Fire and Ice cycle as a battle between warring medical supplies salesmen, visiting Freddie Mercury's memorial in a dress, and yes, being the person who gets to scream "STOP THE PRESSES" when something like this happens.

L8xgh_medium

(Via and via.)

So after the haze of Twitter report, and then Twitter report, and then Twitter report, we have this. At one point last night, Chip Kelly probably accepted the Tampa Bay Bucs coaching job, and then changed his mind. In the meantime Oregon fans hyperventilated, Boise State fans strapped Chris Petersen to the mast and put paraffin in his ears to keep him from hearing the songs of Phil Knight's sirens, and everyone wondered why in the hell a spread option coach like Kelly would go to the NFL, much less why he would opt to take an offer with a team that had lumbering cannonade Josh Freeman at quarterback.

Fortunately for tidiness's sake, Kelly will remain at Oregon, most likely with a massive raise from Phil Knight and the new added fun of everyone freaking out every time a new job comes open in the NFL. There is plenty of historical precedence for this kind of epic waffling. The recently departed Joe Paterno pulled the exact same move at Penn State with the New England Patriots, and Steve Spurrier himself nearly took the Bucs job in the mid-1990s. All we remember was

FURTHER PATERNO TRIBUTES, ETC. You could spend the rest of your day reading through Paterno tributes, so why don't you do that? Bruce Arthur's piece focuses on the complexity of Paterno's legacy, while Bomani talked with Lavar Arrington, who was clearly in a very particular and painful place yesterday. Sally Jenkins was his last interview, and details Paterno's need to talk even as his body failed him. Michael Weinreb echoes the emphasis on "complicated."

AND ON THAT PREMATURE REPORT OF HIS DEATH. Clay's wondering how CBS fucked up as badly as they did, and there is one answer: because they piped in Onward State without corroborating, which is way bad. Yes, we would be giving ESPN a hard time if they did this, but to be fair at least CBS tries to correct its mistakes, and not defend them even at the expense of a court case. It should also be noted that the accuracy of this report was terrible by 21st century standards, but rigidly precise by those of the 16th century.

[/loads blunderbuss]

[/shoots goose]

[/sips new beverage "tea"]

WE CAN DEFINITELY DESCRIBE THIS AS A "HIRING." The days of the spread are over at Auburn, or at least Dr. Gustav's Spread. Auburn has hired Scot Loeffler, former Florida qb coach, Michigan assistant, NFL assistant, and the coordinator of the Temple offense this year. Lloyd Carr really likes the hire, and that may not be good. As for us, we remember his legacy at Florida well. Gene Chizik hired Gus Malzahn and Brian Van Gorder, and he hired Ted Roof. There is literally no telling how good this hire is, but at 37 Loeffler is young, has been around some very good offenses, and cannot be dismissed out of hand as having NFLAIDS or any other afflictions that would make him a specious hire. (Except for Lloyd Carr liking him.)

HE APPRECIATES YOUR CALMNESS, CHILLUMBIA, MISSOURI. Dorial Green-Beckham doesn't say much, but he does appreciate Mizzou fans not being insane. This hint at DGB favoring a school that is sane about its recruiting immediately eliminates the rest of the SEC completely.

ETC: Summer of Mallett makes a surprise Super Bowl return, you skanks. This tire's third bounce is, by our estimations, at least 8000 feet in the air. NNailed it, B1G!

SCOTUS used Dylan in 2008

“The absence of any right to the substantive recovery means that respondents cannot benefit from the judgment they seek and thus lack Article III standing,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote in a dissenting opinion. “‘When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.’ Bob Dylan, Like a Rolling Stone, on Highway 61 Revisited (Columbia Records 1965).”

EUGENE, Ore. –- University of Oregon football coach Chip Kelly has announced his intentions to remain as the Ducks’ head coach.

"I am flattered by the interest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organization. I enjoyed meeting with the Glazer family and General Manager Mark Dominik but after numerous discussions, I concluded that I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon."

In three seasons, Kelly has accumulated a 34-6 record and guided Oregon to a trio of conference championships and BCS bowl berths, including a 45-38 win in this year’s Rose Bowl.

"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers asked for permission to engage in conversation with Coach Kelly, which was granted," Oregon Athletics Director Rob Mullens said. "The University of Oregon is one of the nation’s preeminent college football programs and, as such, it comes as no surprise the NFL is interested in our personnel. We are pleased with Coach Kelly’s decision to remain as our head coach. Coach Kelly has provided great leadership and remains committed to building on our position among the elite college football programs in the country."

I learned much of myself last night.

First, that I do not fault Chip Kelly for ever leaving, because he’s done a lot for the program in such a short span. No fretting over future job openings for me; if he wants to go, I’ll salute him on his way out of PDX.

Second, I was conflicted over the possibility of having Chris Petersen replace him. On the one hand, it would piss directly in BSU’s Cheerios, which would make me happy. On the other, I irrationally disfavor Petersen’s considerable offensive system. I cannot explain this. Maybe it has to do with the QB being under center, and thus reminding me of the nightmarish hellscape of watching the Niners throw out double-tight-I-formations on third and long.

I love green because money be green.

Look, you're young and certain, so I'm not going to argue with you

But, back in the day (2005), when I had both those attributes, I wrote a series of lengthy screeds for MiamiHawkTalk dismantling the RPI formula (which they apparently changed mid-season that year) and excoriating the NCAA committee for taking an assload of mediocre “major conference” teams ahead of three schools from the MAC that had better RPIs and pre-tournament resumes than any of them.

Change the year, pick a different league (CAA, MVC, etc.) and you can tell the same story pretty much every season. And don’t get me started about Billy Packer bitching about George Mason even being in the tournament the year they went to the Final Four

BCS money is slowly but surely strangling mid-major basketball too. The resource effects spill over, and it’s tougher and tougher for us to keep up. The media coverage bias and selection committee shenanigans only exacerbate the problem.

Or, think of it this way, to take an example closer to home: What’s happened to the non-football schools in the Big East since the BCS started? Georgetown and Marquette are decent; the rest of them, collectively, aren’t worth a shit. I’d argue that DePaul will never be a national power again. And that has to do with the resource structure of the sport, not anything they can control.

Nope. Urea is the main nitrogenous compound in urine.

Urea undergoes a slow displacement reaction with water, releasing ammonia. Which is why old urine smells stronger than “new” urine.

According to a few articles I just perused

The Aussies (who know a thing or two about jellies) say vinegar is the best, HOWEVER:

Studies suggest that vinegar actually worsens the pain of Portuguese Man of War, bluebottle, and other Physalia stings. These creatures are dangerous look-alikes to jellyfish. Vinegar has been shown to cause nearly 30% of Physalia nematocysts to fire.

Urine is bad, because fresh water causes the nematocysts to fire, and urine is mostly fresh water. If you want to use ammonia, use real ammonia solution diluted 3:1.

Sea water is good also, if nothing else is available, to rinse off the unfired nematocysts.

Preferred first aid for common jelly fish stings (NOT Man o War stings)

is white vinegar and a Benadryl. Man o War stings you’re better off with meat tenderizer and salt water rinses. In both cases watch for signs of allergic reaction and shock. Also wear gloves when touching the affected areas, as the stingy bits can continue to pump venom even after the critter is long dead.

BRISTOL METRICS!

We’ve chosen to work with the 11 p.m. Eastern time edition SportsCenter, because it’s the one that airs after most of the day’s news and events have ended. The week’s content will be broken down according to time devoted to individual sports and teams. We’ll also calculate which athletes receive the most mentions.

Commercials won’t count in the tally of air time, as they don’t contain any highlights or coverage. It’s worth noting just how many commercials there are on the show, though. The 12 SportsCenter programs filled 759 minutes and 30 seconds on the schedule, of which 199 minutes and 30 seconds were advertisements—a little more than one-fourth of the total air time.

Here’s what was on from Jan. 7 through Jan. 18:

Total time: 759.5 minutes
Time (minus commercials): 560 minutes

TIME DEVOTED TO INDIVIDUAL SPORTS
NFL: 225.5 minutes (40.2%)
NBA: 106.5 (19%)
College basketball: 76 (13.6%)
College football: 55 (9.8%)
MLB: 16.75 (2.9%)
NHL: 13.5 (2.4%)
Other sports: 18 (3.2%)
SportsCenter staples (things like the “Top 10,” “Encore,” “What 2 Watch 4,” etc.): 48.75 (8.7%)

MOST-COVERED TEAMS BY SPORT
New York Giants (NFL): 53 minutes (6.9%)
Miami Heat (NBA): 20.5 (2.6%)
Alabama Crimson Tide (college football): 31 (4%)
Baylor Bears (college basketball): 17.5 (2.3%)
Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL): 5 (0.6%)
Texas Rangers (MLB): 2 (0.26%)

MOST-MENTIONED ATHLETES
Rather than break down the amount of time a specific athlete was covered, we counted how frequently names were mentioned in the transcripts from the week. The 10 most-mentioned athletes for Jan. 7-18:

Tim Tebow: 154 mentions
Aaron Rodgers: 54
LeBron James: 52
Tom Brady: 45
Kobe Bryant: 38
Dwyane Wade: 38
Drew Brees: 30
Alex Smith: 25
Demaryius Thomas: 23
Eli Manning: 22

Note: ESPN spent 30 minutes of coverage focused solely on Tim Tebow, including a segment on Tim Tebow as a superhero (complete with a comic commissioned by Marvel, a fellow subsidiary of Disney), celebrities and athletes talking about Tebow, several highlight packages of his “comebacks” this season, and a hockey highlight dedicated to a player who “Tebowed” after he scored a goal.

Why are they wasting time talking about Baylor when they could be talking about SYRACUSE, amirite?

On the other hand, I'm glad that

they’ve started putting Kara Lawson on men’s games, because I can’t watch women’s basketball for an entire game and she has some great analysis.

She's forgotten more about basketball than Doug Gottlieb ever knew.

Although he probably has her beat in the “credit card fraud knowledge” department.

I wouldn't even use the term journalism in the same sentence as ESPN.

It is pure media now. Journalism would imply that there might be some hint of integrity still there which is not the case.

Ask me about the death of five hookers and how Craig James was allegedly involved.

Question to the commentariat:

working on a cover letter for my #1 job. There needs to be some way that I can express my excitement at the prospect of working there and working with fundraising. How should I convey my excitement about this career prospect?

Then, turn those three reasons into a paragraph.

how's this for the beginning of the cover letter?

I am applying for the position of fundraising copywriter as advertised on your website. I will graduate from Kenyon College in May with a bachelor’s degree in English. My time at XXXXXX last summer has shown me that the work is challenging and rewarding, and the employees are earnest and dedicated. I am excited about the prospect of working for a company that encourages creativity, hard work, and collaboration. My work experience and education qualify me for this position.

then i talk in two paragraphs about relevant writing experience, education, and work experience.

Unsolicited advice:

I might revise the last sentence of that paragraph. A lot of people are qualified, but how many are “uniquely situated to thrive in this position?” Or something like that. Just look for something a bit jazzier than ‘qualified.’

Kenyon, huh?

Too bad no one famous or noteworthy ever went there. You may want to consider leaving that part out.
