04/29/2013 - 2013 NFL DRAFT: TOP 10 UNDRAFTED UNDERCLASSMEN: 1. QB Tyler Bray, Tennessee (6-6, 232, 5.05)...The most surprising undrafted prospect, underclassman or not, was the former Tennessee passer. He has top-shelf arm talent and can make all the throws necessary at the NFL level with ease, but the off-field concerns and shortcomings above the shoulders were likely too much to overlook for pro teams. Bray is an example of a prospect who has all the physical tools imaginable, but the below-average intangibles likely took him off the board entirely for most teams. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
04/29/2013 - Former Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after going undrafted Saturday, according to an ESPN report. The No. 92 overall prospect by NFLDraftScout.com entering the draft and the No. 7-rated quarterback, Bray headed a star-laden group of underclassmen who went undrafted.
Projeced as a third-round prospect, Bray was one of several quarterbacks who slid dramatically during the three-day event due to a general lack of need for most of the 32 teams in the NFL. Florida State's EJ Manuel was the only quarterback selected in the first round, and former Heisman Trophy hopeful Matt Barkley fell all the way to the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round.
Bray left Tennessee following a record-breaking 2012 season that included 3,612 passing yards and 34 touchdowns against 12 interceptions with a 59.6 completion percentage. However, he appeared timid during his media session at the Scouting Combine. Failing to distinguish himself from the second-tier quarterback class, Bray was subject to a significant fall come the draft, and that's exactly what transpired. - Derek Harper, The Sports Xchange
03/28/2013 - 2013 Tennessee Pro Day: All 32 NFL teams sent representatives to Wednesday's pro day at the University of Tennessee, where wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson and quarterback Tyler Bray were the big attractions. Bray, the 6-6 3/8, 229-pound QB has a big arm, really spins the ball well, but needs to work on his accuracy. Thirteen Tennessee players, plus one each from Tennessee-Martin and Tennessee Tech, participated in the workout, which was held indoors on FieldTurf. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com
03/01/2013 - 2013 NFL PRO DAY DATES TO REMEMBER: March 20 - Tennessee, Utah...Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray has arguably the most arm talent of anyone in this class and will be able to put that on display back in Knoxville, likely throwing to three other NFL Draft prospects, including Cordarrelle Patterson, Justin Hunter and Mychal Rivera, who all performed well at the combine. The other target Bray will rely on is wide receiver Zach Rogers, who didn't receive a combine invite. Tennessee offensive lineman Dallas Thomas didn't work out at the combine and isn't expected to work out before the draft after surgery on Feb. 7 to repair a torn labrum suffered during Senior Bowl week. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/21/2013 - Many prospects, including Alabama right tackle D.J. Fluker, lost weight preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine. Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray found some, adding a stunning 24 pounds to measure in at 6-6, 232 pounds in front of scouts Thursday at the combine. Bray was wearing the same loose-fitting NFL-issued apparel as the other prospects who have filtered in through the media room at Lucas Oil Stadium, but the weight looked evenly distributed. He plans to participate in the drills, including throwing, in Indianapolis.
While Bray physically looked the part, he was noticeably nervous at the podium. He looked interviewers in the eye when answering questions but was surprisingly soft-spoken and short with many of his answers. While Bray's nerves certainly don't mean he won't be successful as an NFL quarterback, he lacked the field-general persona that some scouts expect at the position. This is surprising considering the aggression with which he has played throughout his career with the Volunteers.
To put it simply, Bray possesses as much arm talent as any quarterback in this draft class. His combination of arm strength, accuracy and willingness to throw through tight windows against quality competition has drawn comparisons to fellow former SEC standouts Jay Cutler (Vanderbilt) and Ryan Mallett (Arkansas). Bray attempts -- and often makes -- throws that no other quarterback in this draft class (and few in the NFL) will try. Due to a lack of mobility and a number of acts off the field that have led to questions about his maturity, Bray ranks as NFLDraftScout.com's No. 7 passer in this draft, though, as Dane Brugler pointed out here, the Tennessee passer has the tools to leap up the board this week. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, 10 players to watch: 2. QB Tyler Bray, Tennessee...There might not be a more talented quarterback in this class than Bray, who is the only underclassman at the position invited to Indianapolis this year. He has the height, feet and the arm talent to easily make every NFL throw, but he has struggled with consistency issues. Bray will have to answer concerns about his maturity and prove to teams that he's worth the risk. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, Tale of the tape: Although his name has been mentioned a few times prior in this write-up, Bray's interview process will be incredibly important to his NFL Draft grade. Teams know he has the arm strength to compete at a high level, but does he have the smarts? Bray will need to answer for numerous off-field incidents as well and prove he has the maturity and substance to start for and lead a NFL team. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, Most to gain: Teams have already spent countless hours evaluating and scouting this group of quarterbacks, but there is always something to gain with a positive performance in Indianapolis. And Tennessee's Tyler Bray, the only junior at the position invited to this year's Combine, might have the most to gain.
Blessed with top-shelf height and arm strength, Bray's collegiate career was marred by mistakes and inconsistency. And while he is a frustrating passer at times, he was also productive with 34 passing scores and 3,612 yards through the air in 2012, impressing scouts with his NFL arm to deliver to every level of the field. Bray has some maturity concerns, but the upside is intriguing. With a positive showing next week at Lucas Oil Stadium, Bray's draft arrow could be pointing north. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, Tale of the tape: With only one junior quarterback invited to this year's Combine, scouts will have a fairly accurate idea of the measureables for most of the quarterbacks in attendance. The one underclassman at the position? Tyler Bray. Although he has imposing height (6-foot-6), Bray has a string-bean body frame with very lean limbs and questionable growth potential. On Tennessee's roster, he's listed at 215 pounds and it will be important for him to match or exceed that number when he tips the scale. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
01/09/2013 - University of Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, wide receivers Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson and defensive lineman Darrington Sentimore have informed head coach Butch Jones that they intend to declare for the 2013 NFL Draft and relinquish their final year of college eligibility. A native of Kingsburg, Calif., Bray played in 28 games for the Vols from 2010-12, including 24 starts. He completed 540 of 922 passes for 7,444 career passing yards, 69 touchdowns and 28 interceptions and ranks fourth on the UT career lists in four passing categories: yards, completions, attempts, and touchdowns. Bray also finishes his Tennessee career ranked fourth in total offense at 7,237 yards.
In 2012, Bray completed 268 of 451 passes for 3,612 yards, 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, and his totals from last season rank him among the single-season leaders in touchdowns (2nd), yards (2nd), completions (3rd) and attempts (3rd). He also holds four of the top seven single-game passing yardage totals in UT history, including a school-record 530 yards against Troy in 2012. - Tennessee football
01/05/2013 - Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Tyler Bray has reportedly signed with an agent and will enter the 2013 NFL Draft, forgoing his senior season. Bray's father, Jeff Bray, told WNML radio that his son has signed with Los Angeles-based agent Don Yee, according to govolsextra.com. Yee also represents New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Tyler Bray is the seventh-ranked quarterback eligible for the 2013 draft, according to NFLDraftScout.com, and the No. 60-rated prospect overall. In the second-round range entering the pre-draft process and in a class considered weak at the quarterback position, Bray was expected to leave Tennessee with the Vols making another head coaching change.
The 6-foot-5 junior threw for 69 touchdowns with 28 interceptions during his college career as a three-year starter for the Vols. This season, the 21-year-old Bray threw for 3,612 yards with 34 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He completed 59 percent of this passes despite having a corps of smaller receivers. - Derek Harper, The Sports Xchange
12/24/2012 - Tennessee junior quarterback Tyler Bray is headed for the NFL and will skip his senior season in Knoxville, according to a CBSSports.com report by Bruce Feldman. He will join his Volunteers underclassmen teammates Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson in the 2013 NFL Draft. Bray is currently rated as NFLDraftScout.com's No. 7 QB and No. 63 prospect overall. He is projected to be a second-round draft pick.
A three-year starter, Bray was 13-11 over his career as a Tennessee starter (5-7 in 2012), including a 5-9 record against SEC competition. This past season, he led the conference with 3,612 passing yards and 34 touchdowns through the air. With Bray's departure, new head coach Butch Jones will have just five returning starters on offense.
Bray becomes the first underclassmen quarterback to declare for the 2013 NFL Draft and joins a talented but muddled class of signal callers. He has first-round height and arm ability, but the inconsistent mechanics, decision making and ball security are likely to push him down draft boards. Bray was cited this past July for throwing beer bottles at cars from a balcony and teams have serious questions about his maturity. Nonetheless, his upside will be attractive to NFL teams. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
11/27/2012 - Week 13 Rewind: As scouts had hoped, Bray capped off a record-breaking junior season with a deadly efficient performance. He completed 20 of 34 passes for 293 yards and four touchdowns (each to different receivers) with zero interceptions.
His first touchdown came on a perfectly thrown skinny post to senior Zach Rogers. Bray was aided by a nice move from Justin Hunter on his second score, but he correctly read Kentucky's Cover-2 and zipped a vertical route between Wildcat defenders for what became a 42-yard touchdown. Bray showed off his ability to quickly decipher coverages by turning his back to the defense on play-action fakes for each of his final two touchdowns of the game. With the Vols nursing just a 20-17 lead late in the third quarter, Bray faked an end-around to Cordarrelle Patterson and then hit senor tight end Mychal Rivera in stride for a 29-yard touchdown toss deep down the right sideline. Just moments later, Bray made a more traditional fake to his running back before hitting Patterson on a deep post for a 21-yard score. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
11/27/2012 - Week 13 Rewind: For the year, Bray completed 59.6% of his passes for 3,612 yards and 34 touchdowns against just 12 interceptions. At 6-5, 215 pounds and possessing more accuracy on the move than the former SEC star he's often compared to (Ryan Mallett), there is simply no denying that Bray is the most gifted passer potentially eligible for the 2013 draft, which is precisely why he ranks atop NFLDraftScout.com's rankings of quarterbacks in the 2014 draft class.
To earn a draft selection as high as his tools warrant, however, Bray will have to convince NFL decision-makers that he has the leadership traits they're looking for at the position. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
11/27/2012 - Week 13 Rewind: Vols' Bray Shines in Possible Farewell Tour: The firing of Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley last weekend guaranteed that there would be significant turnover in Knoxville at the end of this season. If a roster bursting with NFL talent was to largely remain the same, the Vols' job might be the most exciting for any coaching considering replacing Dooley. That could be a big "if," however, as several of Tennessee's highly regarded prospects are thought to be considering making the early jump to the professional ranks -- not the least of which is junior quarterback Tyler Bray.
The 2-10 Wildcats can hardly be confused with an elite team but in tearing through SEC defenses at a pace that has helped him shatter school records held by Peyton Manning and others, there is no questioning Bray's talent. Coming off a game in which Bray was benched for poor performance, Saturday's game showed scouts an improved focus and maturity however, something that, frankly, had been a concern for the young signal-caller. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
11/26/2012 - WEEK 13 SEC OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: QB TYLER BRAY (Tennessee) -- Completed 20-of-34 passes for 293 yards and four touchdowns against Kentucky. - SEC football
11/24/2012 - Tyler Bray threw four touchdown passes without an interception Saturday as Tennessee defeated Kentucky 37-17 in the season finale for both teams. The victory assured that Tennessee (5-7, 1-7 Southeastern Conference) wouldn't go winless in SEC competition for the first time ever. Bray threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Zach Rogers in the first quarter and a 42-yarder to Justin Hunter in the second quarter to give the Volunteers a 20-7 advantage. After Kentucky (2-10, 1-7) reduced Tennessee's lead to 20-17 midway through the third quarter, Bray put the game out of reach with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Mychal Rivera and a 21-yarder to Cordarrelle Patterson.
This marked the final game for fired Kentucky coach Joker Phillips, who went 13-24 in three seasons. Tennessee offensive coordinator Jim Chaney served as the Volunteers' interim coach in place of Derek Dooley, who was fired Sunday. - AP Sports
11/21/2012 - When Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray walks onto the field at Neyland Stadium on Saturday, will it be his last game as a Vol? That same question could be asked of other juniors, like receivers Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson, who will also have a chance to leave early for the NFL. But for Bray, the question is more intriguing because of the muddled legacy he would leave at Tennessee. "We play Kentucky on Saturday," Bray said to the first of three questions that tried to get a read on his future. "That's all I'm worried about." Could Tennessee's new coach affect his NFL plans? "We've got Kentucky," Bray said. "That's all I'm going to say."
Because the game has no postseason implications, most of the storylines have focused on the UT seniors playing their final game and the juniors who might be. Hunter and Patterson haven't commented about the possibility of going pro, but both are considered potential first-round picks who are very likely to leave. Offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James could also leave early depending on the feedback from his NFL evaluation. But most of the mystery surrounds Bray, whose entire family will be in town from California to watch the season finale. - Evan Woodbery, Go Vols Xtra
11/12/2012 - WEEK 11 SEC OUTSTANDING PERFORMER: QB TYLER BRAY (Tennessee) -- Completed 37-of-54 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns against Missouri. - SEC football
11/07/2012 - SEC: NFL DRAFT PROSPECT WATCH - WEEK 10: Keep an eye on: QB Tyler Bray, 6-6, 215 pounds, Tennessee: Why you should watch him? After going through somewhat of a mid-season slump, Bray has gone back to putting up huge numbers the past two weeks. He threw for 368 yards and four TDs against South Carolina last week and followed that up by breaking a school record against Troy with 530 passing yards and five TDs. The schedule is easier for Tennessee (Missouri, Vanderbilt, Kentucky) down the stretch, so expect Bray to expand his lead as the SEC's leading passer. Season stats (nine games): 200 of 344 (59.9 percent) for 2,812 yards, 25 TDs, 10 INTs. Player ranking: Bray is ranked No. 42 overall and is the fourth-highest rated QB in CBSSports.com's latest player rankings. Up next: Bray will face a Missouri team that gives up an average of just 185.6 passing yards per game. - Daniel Lewis, CBSSports.com
10/23/2012 - Starting quarterback Tyler Bray will be benched in favor of backup Justin Worley if he continues to throw interceptions, Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said today during his weekly press conference. "If he's loose with the football, he's coming out of the game and we're going to play Justin," Dooley said. "I told him that." Bray threw two interceptions in Tennessee's 44-13 loss to Alabama on Saturday. The Vols (3-4, 0-4 SEC) play No. 17 South Carolina (6-2, 4-2) on Saturday (TV: ESPN, noon). Dooley strongly criticized Bray for failing to meet with reporters after the Alabama loss, saying his quarterback needs to "man up." "That's unacceptable in our program," Dooley said. "There's no defense for that type of behavior." - Evan Woodbery, Go Vols Xtra
10/22/2012 - For the first time this season, Tennessee's offense couldn't produce. Then again, it hadn't faced a defense like Alabama. Tennessee had scored at least 31 points in each of its first six games this season. The Vols didn't come close to that mark against No. 1 Alabama in a 44-13 loss Saturday night. Tyler Bray went 13-of-27 for 184 yards with no touchdown passes and two interceptions as the Vols reached the end zone just once all night. "We got whipped by a great football team in just about every phase," Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said. "I'm really disappointed we didn't execute a little better on offense. That's probably the thing I was a little surprised at. The quarterback didn't play well. I'm not sure why." Dooley returned to the sidelines Saturday, less than two weeks after undergoing surgery on a fractured right hip. He had coached from the press box last week in a 41-31 loss at Mississippi State. Tennessee officials said before the game he'd sit on a stool throughout the game, but he instead worked the sidelines on crutches while frequently being shadowed by an officer as well as assistant coach Antone Davis. Tennessee (3-4, 0-4 SEC) isn't the first offense to struggle against Alabama (7-0, 4-0). The Crimson Tide entered the night ranked first in the nation in total defense, scoring defense, run defense and pass efficiency defense. But the Vols believed they could move the ball with their star-studded offense. It didn't happen. - AP Sports
10/02/2012 - 10/01/12 NFL DRAFT SCOUT FALLER: QB TYLER BRAY, TENNESSEE...Due to several self-inflicted mistakes, the Georgia Bulldogs allowed Tennessee to stick with them for all four quarters on Saturday, but Tyler Bray and the Volunteers fell short of a comeback against a very tough defense. Against Georgia, Bray showed too many instances of rushing his delivery and attempting to fit the ball into miniscule-sized passing windows. He has sloppy mechanics and footwork and will often get away with it because he's comfortable with that, but his streaky technique will also throw off his ball placement, missing several throws and finishing with 53.3% completions in Athens. Bray has the tendency to be a loose cannon and has too much belief in his arm, subscribing to the belief that "no passing window is too small." He also showed poor ball security, often holding the ball one-handed near his hip and fumbling late in game. He has the arm strength to make any throw he wants and tosses a beautiful deep ball, but the inconsistency is really hurting him and his team. Bray has a lot of natural talent and first round potential, but the fans, coaching staff and scouts are still waiting for more. He plays in the toughest conference and Tennessee's defense makes each game a shootout, but with the cast of playmakers around him and his natural ability, the excuses need to stop for Bray. It's time he decides whether or not to take his game to the next level. But for NFL scouts, it's not a question of "when," but rather "can he?" - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
09/24/2012 - WEEK 4 SEC OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: QB TYLER BRAY (Tennessee) -- Completed 27-of-43 passes for 401 yards with four TDs and one interception against Akron. - SEC football
09/22/2012 - Tyler Bray threw for 401 yards and four touchdowns and Rajion Neal rushed for a career-high 151 yards Saturday night as Tennessee pulled away in the second half for a 47-26 victory over Akron. Bray's 3-yard touchdown pass to Neal with 6:47 left in the third quarter broke a 23-23 tie and put the Volunteers (3-1) ahead for good. After giving up the game's final 24 points last week in a 37-20 loss to Florida, Tennessee ended Saturday's game on a 21-0 run. Bray also threw touchdown passes to Brendan Downs, Justin Hunter and Jacob Carter, though he also had one interception that was returned for a touchdown by Akron's Avis Commack. Downs and Carter scored their first career touchdowns. Akron (1-3) has lost 22 consecutive road games since winning 42-35 at Eastern Michigan on Oct. 18, 2008. - AP Sports
09/15/2012 - THIS WEEK'S GAME: Florida at Tennessee, Sept. 15 -- Tennessee is looking to snap a seven-game losing streak to the Gators, which dates to 2004 and is the longest run of success for Florida in this series. Coincidentally, the last time Tennessee beat the Gators, it happened in a night game played at Neyland Stadium. This year's game? You guessed it, and it's kicking off in prime time. KEYS TO THE GAME: Stick with the fundamentals. Tennessee's been known for shoddy tackling at times in the last few years, a problem that's weathered several changes to the coaching staff. Florida has gone to a more downhill running style offense since coach Will Muschamp arrived in Gainesville, but the Gators still have some burners on their roster. It's vital the Vols wrap up and make tackles to prevent getting gashed for big gains. - The Sports Xchange
09/14/2012 - WEEK 3 2012 DAVEY O'BRIEN NATIONAL QUARTERBACK AWARD MARQUEE MATCH-UP: Marquee Match-up: No. 18 Florida at No. 23 Tennessee, Saturday, September 15 at 6 p.m. (ET) on ESPN...Jeff Driskel and the Florida Gators hope history repeats itself on Saturday night when they square off against Tyler Bray and SEC East rival Tennessee at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. The Gators have won the last seven consecutive contests. After earning their first national ranking since 2008, the Volunteers will rely on Bray, the SEC leader in total offense (321.0 yards), to help them stay undefeated and make a statement in their conference opener. - Davey O'Brien Award
09/11/2012 - The profile of the Tennessee football team is rising. The Vols achieved a pair of noteworthy firsts coming out of the second week of the season. Tennessee is back in the national rankings, at the No. 23 spot. The Vols hadn't been in the top 25 since the preseason poll in 2008 -- what turned out to be Phillip Fulmer's final season as coach. And, ESPN's College Gameday is coming to Knoxville for the first time in eight years as Tennessee prepares to host Florida in prime time. It all leads to what's got to be the most-hyped, most-anticipated game for the Vols in Derek Dooley's tenure as coach. Both teams enter with identical 2-0 records, and the winner will get a major leg up in the SEC East race -- which looks to be tighter than ever with five potential candidates now that Vanderbilt is showing marked improvement. "They had a good win today. We have had a couple of good wins, so it will be a good game," Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray said after throwing four touchdowns in Saturday's 51-13 shellacking of Georgia State. The Vols took care of business against their underdog FCS opponents, who didn't even have a football team until 2010. It also marked the 18th straight home opener where Tennessee posted a victory. - The Sports Xchange
09/11/2012 - QB Tyler Bray only had two incompletions against Georgia State, making 18 of 20 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns. It marked his eighth game with at least 300 yards passing, his fifth game with at least four touchdown passes and his eighth performance with three or more TD throws. Bray completed 13 straight passes to end his time in the game, tying for the third-longest streak of completions in team history. "I've told you guys Tyler is the best quarterback in the country," Rivera said. "That's how I feel." - The Sports Xchange
09/10/2012 - WEEK 2 OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE: QB TYLER BRAY (Tennessee) -- Completed 18-of-20 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns in Tennessee's 51-13 win against Georgia State. - SEC football
09/07/2012 - LOOKING GOOD: The receiving corps didn't look like it missed Da'Rick Rogers. Justin Hunter had 73 yards on nine catches in his first action since tearing an ACL last September against Florida. Junior-college transfer Cordarrelle Patterson was outstanding with 160 yards of total offense. And senior Zach Rogers contributed 87 yards on only two catches. All told, QB Tyler Bray spread around the ball to 10 different targets while completing 27 throws, and six Vols had two or more catches. - The Sports Xchange
09/04/2012 - SEC: PLAYERS WHOSE NFL DRAFT STOCK IS RISING: Tyler Bray, Tennessee: The 6-foot-6 junior QB has the height and the arm strength of a top NFL prospect, but one knock on him has been his lack of production against top teams. NC State might not be a championship contender, but its secondary is top notch. Bray shredded it in a 35-21 Tennessee victory Friday, completing 27 of 41 passes (65.8 percent) for 333 yards and two touchdowns. You can see him next: Saturday vs. Georgia State, 4 p.m. ET (pay per view). - Daniel Lewis, CBSSports.com
08/31/2012 - SCOUTING THE OFFENSE: It's QB Tyler Bray's team to run, assuming he stays healthy, and out of trouble. Bray had a couple of issues over the summer, including a reckless boating charge that was dismissed and a citation for vandalism for throwing beer cans on parked cars. Those incidents are good blogger fodder, but don't detract from Bray's potential as a quarterback. Raijon Neal, Marlin Lane and Devrin Young all are in the mix at running back. Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson will be the primary receivers now that Da'Rick Rogers is no longer with the program. - The Sports Xchange
08/08/2012 - Vols quarterback Tyler Bray made an agreement in Loudon County court Wednesday to dismiss two charges in a reckless boating incident. Bray was in Loudon County General Sessions Court for an incident on July 4 involving personal watercraft on Tellico Lake. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency said Bray was driving a Yamaha WaveRunner with a woman passenger when he was seen too close to another wave runner that spilled its riders. Bray also got too close to the riders, the agency said. There's no word yet on who owns the wave runners. TWRA charged Bray with a Class A misdemeanor for reckless operation of a personal watercraft and a Class C misdemeanor for failure to have a boating education certificate. The reckless boating charge will be dismissed if Bray completes a one-year suspension of boating privileges and performs three boater safety appearances or does a TWRA appearance on boating safety. The lack of a boating education certificate charge will be dismissed if he attends two three-hour boating certification classes to get a boater certificate. Bray must also pay all courts costs. The court will review the case on February 13. When asked to comment on Bray, Vols Offensive Coordinator Jim Chaney said, "I'm comfortable with where he's at with his maturity as a football player, and he's coming around very good. Obviously anytime our quarterback has his name somewhere, that might be detrimental to our image and we don't like that much, but I don't deal with those, those are coach's (issues)." - Stephanie Beecken, WATE, TV6 News Knoxville
08/04/2012 - Friday was the first day of football practice for Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, but questions still came his way about his recent run in with police after a vandalism complaint was filed against him on July 23 for allegedly throwing bottles and golf balls at a car in his apartment complex. The junior quarterback took ownership of his actions and said he, and the team, have moved past the recent distraction. "I just need to make smarter decisions," Bray said. "It was a really stupid decision, but I've moved on, got to the first day of practice and practiced pretty well." Bray said he had been disciplined internally by the coaching staff, but he declined to go into detail. Coach Derek Dooley praised Bray at SEC media days on July 19 for his increased role as a leader on the team and for his improved maturity. The incident on July 23 seemed to directly contradict what Dooley had said. Bray admitted it was an aberration from the path of leadership he was on over the summer. "Yeah, I thought I made strides maturing and being a team leader and then I made some steps back with that incident," Bray said. "It was stupid. I just need to stick to throwing footballs instead of that." On the field, Dooley said he liked what he saw from his 6-foot-6 signal caller on the first day of practice. Bray has recovered from a broken thumb suffered in October of 2011 and has an abundance of talented targets to throw to in 2012. "He was upbeat, completed some good balls," Dooley said. "You could tell he's put a lot of work in this summer. We didn't have all those administrative problems - it looked like practice 10 from an administrative standpoint. You didn't have just the disastrous - couldn't line up, balls fumbled everywhere, couldn't get a snap - incidents." - Daniel Lewis, Nooga.com
07/29/2012 - Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray was in the news this week when a fellow tenant in his building accused him of throwing beer bottles and golf balls from his apartment balcony. A victim, who's car was damaged, decided not to press charges when Bray offered to pay for the damages. When asked about the incident this week, Dooley told The Nashville Tennessean: "He's made some progress in a lot of areas, but that's just silly behavior. Any time we get a little negative publicity for our program, we take it seriously...Obviously, his accuracy isn't where it needs to be. He missed the trash can." - Rick Bozich/Eric Crawford, WDRB.com
07/25/2012 - Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray is mentioned in police incident reports about two car vandalisms at a Knoxville apartment complex. Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said Wednesday afternoon that no charges will be filed on the initial incident at the Landing Riverfront Apartments after Bray, 20, offered to pay Bradi Hudson, the first victim, for damages to her car. ''Bray reached out to her and apologized and is going to take care of the damage to the vehicle,'' DeBusk said. ''Because of that, she no longer wished to pursue charges.'' Hudson was scheduled to meet with a detective Wednesday, according to DeBusk, but before then she informed Knoxville police of her conversation with Bray. DeBusk said the second vandalism incident is still under investigation. According to the first incident report filed Sunday, when Hudson went to her car Saturday morning she noticed it had dents on the roof and a cracked windshield. A note on the car window had a name and phone number and read ''I know what happened to your car.'' After calling the number, she was told ''there had been males drinking and throwing beer bottles and golf balls at her vehicle'' the previous night, the report states. In the other incident, Kirstie Allen discovered her front windshield had been ''completely smashed'' on Monday, the second incident reports states. She told police she returned to her apartment around 1:10 p.m. and ate lunch. Approximately 30 minutes later, she went outside and noticed the damage to her vehicle. Allen told police that Bray and his roommate, Michael Grandinetti, had thrown beer bottles off a balcony and onto vehicles in the parking lot. The report quotes her as saying an office manager for the complex told her Bray and Grandinetti had been ''served with an eviction notice just prior to her arriving home.'' - AP Sports
07/25/2012 - A police incident report accused Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray and his roommate of throwing beer bottles off a balcony onto parked cars, but the Knoxville News Sentinel later tweeted that no charges will be filed and Bray will make restitution. An apartment complex resident called 911 to report two people throwing beer bottles off the balcony. She identified them as Bray and his 26-year-old roommate, according to the report in govolsextra.com. The resident, Kirstie Allen, also claimed her car was vandalized as a result of her reporting the bottle throwing, the report said. Bray passed for nearly 2,000 yards and 17 touchdowns in just seven games last season. He missed five games with a fractured right thumb. - Larry Hartstein, CBSSports.com

07/19/2012 - Derek Dooley's first two seasons at Tennessee have not gone as well as he'd probably have liked. While the Vols did get to the Music City Bowl in Dooley's first season, they've yet to finish a season with a winning record and 11-14 overall with a 4-12 mark in the SEC. Listening to Dooley on Thursday, though, he made it clear that he's more optimistic about this season in Knoxville than he has been at any other point. On how Tyler Bray has grown off the field: "I think just his investment in being good off the field. A lot of things go into that. It's how you work when you come to the facility, whether it's how you're training in the weight room, going out there and throwing with the wideouts, the film study you're doing by yourself. It's also your leadership when you're here. How much are you affecting the other guys on the team to put in the kind of work you're putting in. "I think that was something Tyler wasn't real comfortable with as a young player, of getting the other guys and making a difference in their lives..."I've seen a real change in his maturity level. I'm hoping he continues on that path and I'm hoping it will net him some big results this fall." - Tom Fornelli, CBS Sports
07/10/2012 - 2012 MAXWELL AWARD PRESEASON WATCHLIST: Tyler Bray, Tennessee, QB, Jr., has been selected to the preseason Maxwell Award watchlist for the 2012 college football season, given to America's outstanding collegiate football player since 1937 and named in honor of sportswriter Robert W. "Tiny" Maxwell. A native of Kingsburg, Calif., Bray has played in 16 games for the Vols in his career, including 12 starts, and already ranks among the school's career passing leaders in touchdowns (7th, 35), completions (10th, 272), and yards (3,832). He has completed 272 of 471 passing attempts for his career (57.7%), and in 2011, he completed 147-of-247 passes for 1,983 yards, 17 touchdowns, and six interceptions, averaging 283.3 passing yards per game. Bray is 8-4 in his career as a starter and owns the UT records for consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes (10) and most passing yards in the first four games of a season (1,328). - Tennessee football
05/29/2012 - Tyler Bray might have a special field trip on his July itinerary. The Tennessee quarterback will attend the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana along with a handful of other college quarterbacks, according to ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. Though the full invitation-only list has yet to be released, Mortensen wrote on his Twitter account that Southern Cal's Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson of Arkansas and Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas were some of the other quarterbacks expected to attend the annual camp. The college quarterbacks serve as instructors for campers and also are tutored by current NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, according to Mortensen's Twitter. The Mannings have three Super Bowl titles between them after Eli's New York Giants won his second championship in February. For the seventh consecutive year, the Manning family will hold their camp at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La., for four days beginning July 12. It won't be Bray's first interaction with Peyton Manning. The junior from California has spent time with UT's most famous former quarterback during his previous visits to Knoxville. As a sophomore Bray broke some of Manning's records, including most consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes and most passing yards and touchdowns in the first four games of a season. - Patrick Brown, Chattanooga Times Free Press

TREASURE ISLAND — After a year of heated debate and lawsuits, residents and city officials are again bracing for the throngs of spring break visitors about to descend on this beach community.
Starting this weekend, Sunset Beach will probably attract its share of the more than 1.7 million college students nationwide who will go somewhere for spring break vacations.
Last year, traffic caused by spring break visitors clogged the area's narrow streets. Cars parked in neighborhoods, often blocking residents' driveways. Drunken beachgoers left trash on lawns, and sometimes used residents' yards as bathrooms.
For students who do come to Treasure Island, officials hope they will heed warnings posted on the city Web site and its new Twitter page, twitter.com/tifl33706.
"The police are among you," the city's Web site warns, also telling prospective beach visitors to "Smile! You're on Camera" and adding that if anyone has a "handcuff fetish," city police officers will gladly put them on "criminal offenders" before transporting them to jail.
The city has increased the number of officers patrolling Sunset Beach, particularly on weekends.
Plainclothes police officers, in conjunction with officers from the state liquor authorities, will focus on underage drinking.
The city also plans "frequent, coordinated DUI enforcement patrols" on Sunset Beach and DUI checkpoints on Gulf Boulevard.
Police enforcement will include monitoring live video taken by high-resolution, pole-mounted cameras positioned to the north and south of Caddy's on the Beach bar and restaurant.
Last year, Caddy's became the focal point for many spring break visitors, prompting complaints and eventual legal action from Sunset Beach residents.
In response, the City Commission banned beer kegs on the beach. Caddy's, which owns much of its beachfront, is banning private coolers on its property. The city is also enforcing its ban on glass bottles or containers on the beach.
City officials are considering updating parking regulations. A special workshop on proposed rules governing lots throughout the city is 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Although proposed parking regulations are citywide, the issue originally was raised by Sunset Beach residents who complained about a number of remote parking lots on residentially zoned land operated by Caddy's.
"By adding parking lot after parking lot, Caddy's is bringing hundreds more cars and thousands more people to our beaches," Sunset Beach resident Ray Green told the City Commission on Tuesday. Green is one of 15 residents who has filed a lawsuit against Caddy's for violating city parking lot regulations. The lawsuit also names the city for allegedly failing to enforce its own rules as they relate to Caddy's parking lots.
Wednesday's special commission workshop will focus on an 11-page report prepared by City Planner Lynn Rosetti that includes proposed changes to city parking regulations.
Originally, the proposal was to be forwarded to the city's Planning and Zoning Board for consideration, but the commission decided it needs to more carefully review the staff recommendations.
Last Tuesday, the commission unanimously agreed it opposes allowing commercial parking lots in residential areas.
Under the proposal, commercial parking lots would be allowed in some residential and commercial zones as a special exception. Parking lots as a permitted use without the need for special approval would be allowed only in the city's commercial district.
Currently, there is no zoning district in the city that allows a standalone parking lot as either a permitted or special exception use. Instead, parking lots can only be placed as "accessory uses" on the same property as the business or structure served.
A special exception for "off-site parking" is allowed in the commercial and resort facilities districts, but it must be within 100 yards of the main commercial property and can be granted only by the City Commission.
A number of commercial parking lots in the city are in technical violation of these regulations. Some lots were created before Treasure Island was incorporated. Others, including some lots at Caddy's, were granted temporary permits that apparently have since expired.

From Wallingford DIY
- The quality of this window catch is poor. The first one I received the spindle was bent, so not able to use. A replacement was sent very quickly but I have had to use my original side catch otherwise it would not align at right angles. A credit note email was issued for the original and then I received an invoice by post for the replacement. I have asked by email that the credit note and invoice be equalized and this seems to have been done. Delivery was excellent.
we have now checked our stock and there seems to have been a small number that were damaged in location and not of a standard we would expect our customers to receive.
We have now removed these from stock. Thank you again for your feedback as this allows us to rectify these situations on the rare occasions that they occur.
Kind regards,

Another piece of the roster puzzle will gain clarity Sunday at noon ET, when teams can begin the process of signing players to their eight-man practice squad. More often than not, those players will come from the most recent list of cuts the team made to whittle down to an initial 53-man roster.
Players must first clear waivers before they can be added to the practice squad and players who are already free agents are also eligible.
To meet the criteria to land on a practice squad, players cannot have appeared in more than eight regular-season games in any one season and cannot have been on a practice squad for more than three seasons (three weeks equals a season until the third season when one week counts). If a player who has spent two seasons on the practice squad signs, the team must maintain a full 53-man roster for each game he is on the practice squad.
The practice squad generally serves as the scout team players who provide different looks for the offense and defense throughout the week. Whenever you hear about a player emulating an opponent, it's more often than not someone from the practice squad. For example, Rams DE/LB Sammy Brown was a member of the practice squad last year and went so far as to wear a blonde wig to put on the appearance of Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews.
Many of the guys who play on the practice squad never make the active roster but in St. Louis, that's not necessarily the case. Tight end Cory Harkey, Brown and center Tim Barnes got the call to the active roster in 2012. This year, running back Chase Reynolds and offensive lineman Brandon Washington made the active roster in the initial cut to 53.
Here's a quick rundown of the players eligible for the Rams practice squad from the most recent list of cuts:
QB Austin Davis
FB Eric Stevens
TE Philip Lutzenkirchen
OT D.J. Young
OT Ty Nsekhe
OT Sean Hooey
WR Nick Johnson
WR Justin Veltung
WR Emory Blake
DL Garrett Goebel
DL Sammy Brown
DL R.J. Washington
S Rashard Hall
S Cody Davis
CB Drew Thomas
CB Darren Woodard
CB Andre Martin
Players released in the first round of cuts are also eligible to land on the practice squad.
Since we've been in prediction mode lately, here's a quick guess (emphasis on guess) at the Rams' eight-man practice squad: QB A. Davis, WRs Veltung and Johnson, OT Hooey, OT Nsekhe, DL Brodine, CB Woodard, S C. Davis.

BBC Review
The freshest artists of the UK's contemporary rap generation demand to be heard.
Noel Gardner 2012
Circa 2012, it's probably harder than ever to get a handle on the UK rap of this release's title. Its compilers have attempted to do so, in part, by being as comprehensive as possible: This is UK Rap features more than 150 minutes of music.
For this reason, it doesn't feel like it crystallises a scene in the same way as British beats'n'rhymes collections of old – 2000's Word Lab, which featured UK hip hop icons like Roots Manuva and Blak Twang, or Run the Road, a snapshot of grime royalty from 2005.
Nevertheless, there's a lot to like about this collection, and many pointers as to where the current scene is heading. Save for a few elder statesmen – Scorcher and guests including Wretch 32 offer the so-so It's All Love; Skepta appears on Blade Brown's menacing crawl In Your Dreams – everyone on here emerged in the last few years, as grime hit a creative impasse but provided pop-chart bounty for its proverbial one percent.
The MCs and crews that have emerged in the meantime ('road rap' is the preferred descriptor for some, although it hasn't caught on commercially) are just as combative, territorial and self-regarding as grime's mid-00s wave, but the production style is leagues apart. Maximalist and unsubtle, it comes off like a British answer to US producers like Lex Luger and Drumma Boy – Cashtastic's Gassed in the Rave and Put it in a Bag by Fem Fel are primed to cause considerable dancefloor ruckus.
Peckham's infamous Giggs, perhaps the most prominent link between grime and road rap, makes a showing on Margs' F**k Feds. It's a clutch of significant things inside five minutes: an explicitly police-loathing, Gucci Mane-ish banger with a dancehall influence and some Auto-Tune.
For all the firearms chat and post-watershed language on This is UK Rap, there's a softer underbelly that comes out in things like Young Mad B's Hennessy Flowing or (the often good) Princess Nyah's Take Control. But it's when the MCs are at their fiercest that attentions are truly pricked; then, in full, furious flow, this latest UK rap generation demands to be heard.

Basel, Switzerland, 2007/09/12 - Swiss-based computational biology provider Genedata AG announced a five-year collaboration with Henkel KGaA, a global leader in home care, personal care and adhesives technologies, in their Genomic Design initiative.
Genedata Phylosopher`s proven biological data management platform will support Genomic Design in enhancing the performance of microorganisms such as Bacillus licheniformis. Improving those key players in the biotechnological production of enzymes for detergents and cleaning agents is expected to lead to new products with qualities both consumers and environment will benefit from, like reduced energy and detergent consumption due to lower washing temperatures and better cleansing power.
The Phylosopher system will be implemented as the central infrastructure for Henkel and its research partners, to integrate all proprietary functional genomic data based on Henkels production strains. Large data volumes of transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics data gathered during industrial fermentation processes can thus be processed, stored and analyzed. Moreover, the data generated will aid metabolic reconstruction and a better understanding of critical regulatory networks, paving the way to identifying and eliminating the factors that limit production yields.
The use of functional genome information to optimize microorganisms and their products is key to success in white biotechnology, states Dr. Karl-Heinz Maurer, Director Enzyme Technology at Henkel. Genedata Phylosopher will help us to gain valuable insights into the genetic configuration and molecular circuitry of the different production strains that will be designed and screened within the Genomic Design project. With Phylosopher, the interdisciplinary teams at Henkel and at our partners receive the best support they can get for their data-driven approach to streamlining biotech production processes.
"We are proud that Henkel has chosen Genedata for this key role within the Genomic Design project, says Dr. Othmar Pfannes, CEO of Genedata AG. This initiative shows once again that the fields of biotechnology, chemicals, consumer goods, food and feed can all truly benefit from Genedatas products and professional services. We feel encouraged in our strategy to deliver scalable and flexible research IT infrastructure solutions for joint research projects and large organizational frameworks.
Please learn more about White Biotechnology at Henkel at the Henkel science press conference in Düsseldorf on September 14th, 2007.

• Legendary Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown died yesterday at the age of 90. She served on the Cosmo staff from 1965 until 1997. Brown is credited with bringing sex to the forefront in women's magazines in a time where the idea of a woman enjoying sex was taboo. She penned Sex and the Single Girl in 1962, a tome which set the mood for open, honest discussion about women's sex lives.(NYT)
• Two time gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas hit the Tonight Show With Jay Leno to chat about her Olympic win, and what she's been up to since she made a splash at the London Games. Douglas chatted with Leno alongside First Lady Michelle Obama, admitting that she'd "splurged on an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's" after her historic win. Without missing a beat, the First Lady teased, "Egg McMuffin?" Yeah, Gabby, don't encourage him. I'm sure it was on a whole wheat McMuffin." Hah! I'm sure it wasn't! (Celebrity-gossip)
• Lady Gaga is PETA's newest celebrity target, after the singer was spotted shopping in an admittedly fabulous (though woefully out of season) pink mink coat. Gaga previously told Ellen DeGeneres that she doesn't wear fur, yet these recent photographs prove the opposite. PETA senior vice president Dan Matthews wrote a letter to the pop star, slamming her for her hypocrisy: "What happened? Are your stylists telling you that it's fake, or are you a turncoat?," Matthews writes. "Many gays are animal advocates because we recognize that the same arrogance and indifference that some have toward animal suffering has at times been directed toward us personally because of our orientation. PETA has long participated in Pride events around the country, and just last week, we helped lead protests against Chick-fil-A. But by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you're making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian. As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose." Do you think Gaga owes PETA an explanation? (Fashion etc.)
• Tyra Banks has figured out how to make gifs, lord help us. (@TyraBanks on Cinemagram)
• The trailer for Lady Gaga's Fame fragrance is as creepy as you'd expect. (hauslaboratories)

Saturday, June 5, 2010 | 2:05 a.m.
An excessive heat warning has been issued for the Las Vegas Valley for Saturday as triple-digit temperatures persist.
The warning has been issued from 1 p.m. Saturday to 8 p.m. Monday for elevations below 4,000 feet in Southern Nevada. Skies will be sunny with the high expected to reach 106 degrees.
Temperatures are expected to hit about 108 degrees on Sunday and Monday. Meteorologists say thermometers should reach 110 to 115 degrees along the Colorado River Valley and 120 degrees at Death Valley National Park.
Northwest Arizona and Southeast California have also been issued an excessive heat warning for the weekend.
Las Vegas on average hits 105 degrees or higher on June 9. The sudden increase in temperatures this year has meteorologists worried that some residents might not be acclimated to the warmer weather.
A warning for high ozone levels was issued for Sunday, said Brenda Manlove Williams, spokeswoman for the county's Department of Air Quality and Environmental Management.
People with respiratory or cardiac problems should be cautious when engaging in outside activities this weekend, she said.
Elevated ozone levels also can affect children and seniors without health problems, Williams said.
The weather service said heat kills an average 1,500 people annually in the U.S., which is more than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lighting. Officials said 70 to 75 percent of heat-related deaths occur when temperatures are at least 105 degrees.
Officials suggest people limit outdoor activities, drink more water and avoid caffeine and alcohol when outdoors in the heat. Wearing light-colored, loose-fitted clothing and keeping pets indoors is also advised.
Temperatures are expected to cool down Tuesday and return to double digits by the middle of next week.

Final Fantasy IX
Review by Joe the Destroyer
"It's Zidane! The Super-Saiya- I mean... Ratboy!"
One of the biggest franchises to date has got to be the Final Fantasy franchise, spanning 9 games and two spin-offs. A game series designed by Squaresoft, regarded by many as one of the greatest RPG companies of all time,along with Enix and Sega. However, somewhere in the series, people felt it was going down hill. After Final Fantasy 6, people began to actually trash some of the newer games. People said the classic feel was starting to diminish. Squaresoft finally caught on to this bit of information when Final Fantasy 8 drew mixed reviews, claiming it just didn't have the true classic and medieval feel that the first few Final Fantasy games had. So, while preserving what they felt were major pluses in their newer Final Fantasy games, Square decided to bring back some of the old feel. Thus, they blended old school RPG elements with new school to bring something that they hoped would succeed above the mixed reviews: Final Fantasy 9.
In this installment to the Final Fantasy legacy, you play as a young thief/thespian named Zidane. Along with his ''brothers,'' Zidane follows a plan set up to kidnap a girl named Princess Garnet. However, it would seem that Garnet has been extremely down in the dumps as of late. She is seldom seen with a smile on her face anymore. So, as a distraction, Zidane and his friends fly a huge airship that is a giant theater over to Alexandria, where Garnet lives with her mother, Queen Brahne, and conduct a play. As it turns out, Garnet willfully goes along with Zidane. Seeing her daughter get ''kidnapped,'' Brahne orders to open fire on the theater ship and it crash lands in the middle of a forest. From there, Zidane and Garnet, along with a cast of others discover an adventure unlike any other.
Battle System
If you've played other Final Fantasy battle systems, you've pretty much played this one. In this one, each character gets a few different commands, all depending on the person. This is one old school aspect that's been revived; The usage of personalized skills. For example: Zidane, being a thief, has a ''steal'' skill but also something called ''skill'' which allows him to use different skills such ranging from causing damage to detecting what kind of items enemies have to steal. Each character has two different commands in common (other than ''change'' and ''defend''): Attack and item, both of which are pretty much self-explanatory. I enjoy this battle system enough. It kept the series simplistic and fun and still does for FF9.
Magic and Abilities: Learning
This sort of seems a bit like the magic system used on Final Fantasy 6 in which you had to equip a character with a Magicite to get certain spells. In this one, each weapon and piece of equipment you equip your people with has a potential of teaching them a different spell or ability. As you win battles, you get AP (ability points). When you equip a piece of equipment, any abilities or spells you can learn are readily usable, but go away once you unequip the stuff. However, once you've gotten enough AP, you can master the abilities and spells and not need to equip something in order to use them. I guess I sort of liked this magic/ability system. It seemed more like a revamped FF6 system.
Magic and Abilities: Usage
Using magic is just as simple in this game as any RPG. You just select it and aim it. Abilities are a bit different. Abilities are basically different characteristics your characters can take on (i.e. the ability ''Antibody'' nullifies poison and venom effects; the ability ''Mug'' causes Zidane to attack whenever he attempts to use ''steal). When you look at your status, you'll notice that you have a certain amount of ability crystals. You can then go into your ''equip'' submenu under abilities and equip abilities at the cost of a certain amount of crystals. Of course, you can always unequip.
Items Just Laying Around
One major thing I like about this game is the fact that you can find items just laying around like other Final Fantasy games with one major difference. Any time there is one you can grab, a ! appears over your head. This makes it convenient so you know where items are exactly without having to guess. I actually wish more RPG's would take that system to heart much like more would take Earthbound's instant-win system to heart.
The environmental graphics were some of the best as usual. Very well done detail with nice resolution. The character graphics could've been a bit better as they were pretty well pixilated. They were still better than Final Fantasy 8. The CG graphics were some of the best I've seen. While they weren't as impressive as Final Fantasy 8's dance sequence, they were still very good.
The music was great, but not as good as previous games. I felt they really should've spent more time composing as some of the music just sounded, well... too classic, I guess you could say. Sound effects were the same as usual.
Same thing as the other Final Fantasy. I really hated the card game in this one as opposed to Triple Triad from Final Fantasy 8. One of the minigames in this one called ''Chocobo Hot and Cold'' was one of the best minigames I've played in a long time! You can get some of the best items in the game playing that, too.
All in all, Final Fantasy 9, though not the best of the series, is still a great game, even as an RPG. It had a better RPG feel than the previous game, but still wasn't quite as good as Final Fantasy 7 (my favorite of the series).
Graphics: Not bad. Great CG movies. 9/10
Sounds: I'm surprised at Square for really downgrading the music on this one, slightly. They usually have some of the best composed music. 7/10
Controls: Easy to handle as any Final Fantasy would/should be 10/10
Plot/Storyline: I really enjoyed the story, but it just didn't grip me the way other Final Fantasy games did. I'm thankful for one thing, though. At least the main character in this one had confidence, unlike Squall. 8/10
Gameplay: I'd have to say I really enjoyed playing this game, all in all 10/10
All Together: 10/10
*Good Story, I don't care what anyone says! Sigh, still not as good as others, though.
*Still just as fun as the others.
*Chocobo Hot and Cold
*Enemies have multiple items to steal
*They cut the time down on summoning.
*Should've had an option whether you want long or short summons.
*Slightly downgaded music (that is, slightly)
*Pixilated characters
RPG fans should definitely give this a try. If you like newer Final Fantasy games, then try this one out. Unlike Final Fantasy 7, I don't see too many non-RPG fans enjoying this one.

Hensley lifts Wildcats to win over rival Tigers
Fruita Monument's Sarah Hensley had one of those games Friday night.
Everything was falling for the junior guard, who dropped 27 points on Grand Junction in the Wildcats' 46-41 Southwestern League victory at Fruita.
"My coaches told me I have to shoot the ball more to be successful," Hensley said. "It ended up working for me."
The Tigers (7-10, 2-3 SWL) and Wildcats (6-8, 2-2 SWL) went back and forth all game, with neither team getting a lead of more than two points until the fourth quarter.
Grand Junction freshman guard Jamie Derrieux relinquished her starting spot and came off the bench, appearing more comfortable in that role.
Derrieux had seven points, and scored four straight early in the fourth quarter, putting the Tigers up 35-32. Hensley answered with two free throws to cut the lead to one.
Hensley's next three buckets established her as a player who can perform under pressure.
She made 3-pointers on the Wildcats' next two possessions and followed that with a drive to the basket, pushing Fruita's lead to 43-35 with less than 1:30 left in the game.
"She is a gifted basketball player who can shoot the basketball and score," Fruita coach Dan Schmalz said. "There were plays where it got frazzled and she would get the ball and knock it down."
Hensley made five 3-pointers and was 4 of 4 from the free-throw line for her highest scoring game of her high school career.
"She had 17 against Grand Junction last year, so she can do that all the time, and I wish she would," Schmalz said. "She is a confident player and I wish she would show up more because she can be a double-digit scorer every game."
In a game with two teams that were fighting to stay alive in the league race, the Wildcats had just enough to claw to a victory. Mary McGee added seven points and had 16 rebounds.
"You have to win conference games at home," Schmalz said. "Playing Grand Junction was a huge motivator for the team."
The Wildcats will try to ride that momentum into tonight's game against Montrose, which tips off at 5:30 p.m. The Tigers, who got seven points from Fawn Brady, are off until Thursday, when they travel to Montrose.
Grand Junction dropped its third straight SWL game, but coach Sam Provenza was happy.
"That was two teams trying to find themselves," Provenza said. "We missed some shots early and those are games that are never won or lost at the end."

Restaurateur Rob Wasserman is best known as the owner of Rouge, the legendary Rittenhouse Square boîte that Neil Stein opened in 1998 and which Wasserman bought 10 years ago. But in recent years, Wasserman decided to add philanthropist to his business card, and Philadelphia magazine has learned that there is trouble in that department. Read more »
Snap Custom Pizza Opens on Sansom Street
Snap Custom Pizza opens today at 11 a.m. at 1504 Sansom Street. It's the third location for Snap and the first in Philadelphia proper. The other two locations from the Peace A Pizza founders are in Ardmore and Exton. This first Center City location is at the former home of Rob Wasserman's 500° burger spot. Wasserman, who also owns Ritttenhouse Square's Rouge is now a part of the Snap team.
Snap Custom Pizza takes the now familiar Chipotle-style assembly line and applies it to pizza. Customizable pizzas start at $7.49 and the menu also includes signature pizzas and salads.
Snap plans to rev up the expansion engine, looking to add 15 locations in the next 18 months.

As we say goodbye to 500 Degrees and their juicy, gourmet burgers, we will soon say hello to the arrival of SNAP Custom Pizza in Center City.
Suit: Former Rouge Chef Says He Was Called the N-Word During Employment
Rouge on Rittenhouse Square is one of the more storied restaurants in Philadelphia. Originally opened by the also storied restaurateur Neil Stein, it remains the see-and-be-seen Rittenhouse spot (though you could also make an argument for Parc) that it was when profiled in Philadelphia magazine in 2006 by Jessica Pressler. Well, on Wednesday, Rouge was sued for racial discrimination in federal court by a former sous chef. Read more »
Act Two: Parlor Reviewed
Confession of a city critic: Whenever I have to schlep out to the suburbs, I can't help but grit my teeth. Expectations drop beyond the county line. For every Junto, there are three Saint Jameses, and there goes an hour's worth of unleaded into the ledger of our atmospheric doom.
But I exaggerate. The Saint James's awfulness lay far beyond the reach of replication, much less in triplicate. Yet trepidation nevertheless filled the family wagon as we made our way to its replacement in Ardmore's Suburban Square. Owner Rob Wasserman rebooted the ill-starred concept in March as a pizzeria called Parlor, where pies bearing somewhat distressing names such as Buffy and Beastmode awaited us. Read more »
Parlor In Ardmore Is Opening On March 1
Rob Wasserman (owner of Rouge and 500º), is opening his new restaurant, Parlor, on March 1, and he's doing it in the same Suburban Square location as his not-so-successful former restaurant The Saint James.
Parlor Pizza Bar to Open Early March
Rob Wasserman, owner of Rouge and 500 Degrees, has announced his plan to turn his Saint James into a family friendly pizza restaurant called Parlor Pizza Bar in early March. The restaurant will be located at Saint James used to be, at 30 Parking Plaza in Ardmore.
Parlor Pizza Bar's menu will center around artisan wood fired pizzas, as well as pastas and salads intended for families and groups. The restaurant will also be serving draft wines by the glass, with reasonably priced options starting at $6 a glass.
Otto Architects is remodeling the space, bringing in a crimson and gray palette. A Ferrari red pizza oven imported from Modena, Italy will be the focal point of the dining room.

Main Line Happenings: Ardmore Becoming Beer Destination
Ardmore has become a beer geeks destination with the rise of Tired Hands Brewing. The tiny brewery was just named to First We Feast's 12 Bucket-List Breweries That Every Beer Lover Should Visit. The Main Line town has some other things happening as well. The eleventh Iron Hill Brewery location, grandly opened on Sunday at 44 Greenfield Avenue, just a block from Tired Hands. And speaking of Tired Hands, the brewery continues to make progress on its second Ardmore location. The larger location's brewhouse was just delivered yesterday and the brewery will open in the first half of 2015.
The Saint James is closing. The much ballyhooed restaurant from Rob Wasserman (Rouge, 500º) and Michael Schulson (Sampan, Izakaya) opened in 2012 but was slammed by critics. Schulson left the partnership earlier this year and Wasserman will close the restaurant on December 30th. Michael Klein reports that the space will undergo six weeks of renovations before producing what Wasserman says will be a "'very family-friendly'" restaurant.
Third Annual Philadelphia Burger Brawl Set for Sunday, May 5th
Burgers. Lots of burgers!
That's what's in store Sunday, May 5th at the Third Annual Philadelphia Burger Brawl being held at the Fleisher Art Memorial, located on 719 Catherine Street in South Philadelphia. The event will feature twenty of the city's top burger chefs duking it out to see who will come out with the top burger.
The invitation-only event sells out annually and more than 700 attendees are expected. Marc Summers will emcee the event.
The Philadelphia Burger Brawl was founded in 2011 by Rob Wasserman, owner of Rouge, 500 Degrees and The Saint James, as a private fundraiser to benefit the construction of computer labs in public elementary schools in the City of Philadelphia.
500º Spotted in the Office
Dan McQuade spotted this 500° bag in last week's episode of the Office. 500° owner, Rob Wasserman had no idea his burger spot's bag was going to show up on network television but then The Price Is Right didn't tell him that a meal at Rouge, Wasserman's Rittenhouse spot, was going to be a prize either.
