With the Miami Heat facing elimination in Game 6, they will need to rely on their leader, LeBron James, to lead the team if they want to reach Game 7 and win another NBA title. Specifically, the Heat need James to control their offense with quality possessions.
James shot 36 percent in Game 5, made only five of his 14 shots around the rim and just one out of his four mid-range jumpers. It's important for James to take advantage of the space that the Spurs are giving him, but when the Heat's offense consists of him dribbling and shooting a contested shot, it's a wasted possession. He, and Miami, need to do better.
Here, James takes the ball upcourt and stops on the perimeter. He dribbles for about four seconds, then takes a shot without the ball ever leaving his hands. This is a terrible offensive possession for Miami:
The Heat need to trust their ball-movement to break the Spurs' defensive rotations down. Here, the Heat run multiple actions in a single offensive set and eventually find James with the mismatch of Tim Duncan on the perimeter. James takes Duncan off the dribble and scores:
It's still a James dribble drive, but it works because it's at the end of a possession, not the beginning.
The Heat also need to solve the issue of Boris Diaw, who has been effective for the Spurs by using his size to push James out of the post. Miami is trying to put James in the low post, but the Spurs have taken that away by putting a larger defender on him.
Here, James is already pushed out to several feet outside the paint:
By the time James catches the ball, he finds himself on the 3-point line. Diaw has found success at challenging James on the perimeter because of his size and reach:
James is struggling with Diaw's size in the post and isn't able to get deep position on him when he tries to establish himself. James is much more effective when he's cutting to the rim from the perimeter rather than fighting for position while stationary.
Here, James takes advantage of the space Danny Green has given him on the perimeter to dive into the post:
James is better at using his speed and size advantages on the move rather than waiting for the ball in the post and fighting for position.
Using James as the roll man in the pick-and-roll is another way Miami can get him possessions in the paint against mismatches. Hot Hot Hoops had an excellent breakdown of how the Heat ran the James-Mario Chalmers pick-and-roll to this effect earlier in the series.
Here, Chalmers draws the Spurs' defense as the ball-handler after taking a screen from James. The Spurs contain Chalmers, but this will force Gary Neal to switch onto James:
Miami should run pick-and-rolls for James not only to get him into the paint, but also get him away from Diaw:
James for a fadeaway jumper here, but a simple fix can solve for that problem:
Poor spacing by Miami allowed the Spurs to have three players in the paint to defend James. When using James in the pick-and-roll, the Heat should have their other four players on the perimeter to give James more room.
This is the value of Chris Bosh; he can space the floor when he is the lone big man on the floor for Miami. If Bosh lines up in the corner, the Heat can more easily move the ball to spread the Spurs' defense thin if they pack the paint. This creates potential open looks for the Heat's perimeter shooters:
Miami should look to run the James-Chalmers pick-and-roll while spacing the floor to find cracks in the Spurs' team defense.
The Heat host the final two games of the series at home and will have to execute at a high-level for the next 96 minutes in order to become back-to-back champions. The Heat's execution must begin with James, the Most Valuable Player and the ace up Miami's sleeve to win two straight against the Spurs.

---- — DERRY — One of the three teens injured in a New Year's Eve car wreck on Gulf Road is fighting for her life in a Boston hospital today, while the condition of the car's driver could not be determined.
The third teen, Thompson Upham-Davis, 16, of Chester, was found walking beside the car with only minor injuries when police and firefighters arrived just after the 10:34 p.m. accident.
Kyle Ross, the 17-year-old who was driving, and Johanna Morse, 16, who was riding in a back seat, suffered life-threatening injuries in the New Year's Eve accident and were flown by separate helicopters to different Boston hospitals. Both are from Derry.
Derry firefighters took Morse to Parkland Medical Center, where she was then flown by Boston Medflight to Tufts Medical Center. Hospital spokeswoman Allison Hurley said she was in critical condition, meaning her vital signs such as her heartbeat and respiration are unstable.
Ross was flown to Massachusetts General Hospital by a DART medical helicopter. Emily Williams, a hospital spokeswoman, said Ross was not in the hospital's directory of patients, meaning either he was not at the hospital or that his family asked that he not be listed.
Ross and Morse were trapped in the badly mangled car and were extricated using hydraulic rescue tools.
"There was so much damage to the car, I literally thought it was a Smart Car — that's how short the car looked," said Fire Battalion Chief Jack Webb, referring to the so-called micro-car known for its extremely compact size. "You could just tell these kids were badly injured."
All 15 on-duty Derry firefighters responded to the accident, where rescue teams performed advanced life support procedures on Ross and Morse before loading them onto the helicopters, Webb said.
Derry police and the Salem Fire Department closed the intersection of Island Pond Road and Route 111 to allow the helicopter that would carry Ross to Mass General to land.
No other vehicles were involved in the accident, which occurred at the intersection of Gulf Road and Hampshire Drive. Gulf Road was closed for five hours.
Derry police are investigating the accident and would not say whether drugs or alcohol were involved.

Young nervous over Splash! swimsuit
5:53pm Friday 17th January 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Former chart-topper Paul Young has shown it is not just female contestants who are concerned about appearing in their swimwear on TV contest Splash! after he grumbled about being seen in bathers.
The singer, who tasted chart success three decades ago with hits such as Wherever I Lay My Hat, said his body was past the stage where he feels comfortable stripping for the cameras.
His comments come after contestants such as Toyah Willcox and Michaela Strachan voiced their unease about having to appear in skimpy outfits as they took part in the ITV1 show in which celebrities learn to high dive.
Speaking as he prepared for the show earlier this week, 58-year-old Young said he would have to put in more physical training to get his body looking right.
He said: " Swimwear on TV is something I should have done in my 20s. I think I might get a bit more physical training in before I get to the live dive. But I wouldn't say I'm hugely happy about it."
But Young - who has also been a contestant on Hell's Kitchen in recent years - also admitted that it was being pushed out of his comfort zone which was part of the appeal of the show.
"I wanted to take part because I think my life was getting a bit safe and when this opportunity came up I thought it would be something I could do for myself.
"I have a slight fear of heights, I've never been able to dive that well, so I thought it was a great thing to be able to do, and then perhaps I can surprise some friends on the next holiday,"
He will be seen taking part in the show against rivals such as Tory MP Penny Mordaunt and model Danielle Lloyd. They are competing for a place in the semi-finals of the show.

Go West Texas Missions!!!May 13, 2011
I was so excited to learn that my nephew's traveling baseball team was coming to city ( more like a 4 way stop… but I digress) near me!!! He plays for a select baseball team that has God at the center of their efforts and hearts, which is such a refreshing thing to see in these amazing young boys. Check out their sponsor and coaches' organization which is inspiring and uplifting: Baseball His Way. My apologies in advance for the number of pics of my fabulous nephew :) I just could not narrow them down AND I NEVER shoot sports photography so I was having fun playing with my rented 70-200L IS (note: RENTED!!!! I wish I could owned this bad boy but more on that later…) so on to the show….
Now for those who would like my thoughts on the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II:
1) Dislike: It was way slower than I am use to, however I am usually closer the my subject so my 5D MkII finds focus fast. This lens "searched" a little too long for me to get the actions shots I expected, and 200 is probably the minimum focal length needed for this type of shooting. The focal length is not the lens fault, but having never shot b-ball… I had no clue 200 would be so limiting on shots. But it was my first rodeo with this lens so I would give it another go-round before once again claiming prime is the only real way to shoot ;)
2) LOVE the natural vignetting this lens produces. Gorgeous.
Hoping to rent the 100-400 next time around when the Mission come this way again :)

From life in prison to a lesser sentence; a plea landed 32 year old Stanley Cole 40 years behind bars for killing his ex-girlfriend.
"I think God has shown Mr. Cole mercy today," said Danny Bolden. "He should have been in prison for the rest of his life."
Cole pled guilty to manslaughter, armed robbery and aggravated stalking, landing him 40 years in prison. He killed his ex-girlfriend, 20 year Latasha Norman, back in 2007. Norman's family says they are happy justice has finally been served.
"This has been an up and down emotional process, added Bolden. "So, we are so glad this is finally over with."
"It's a release. It's some peace," said Takeisha Norman. "I mean you know, we can't have her back. You know, it gives us some peace that he will be staying another 34 years you know."
Cole was arrested in 2007 and has been in prison since that time. He will receive a six year credit for time served.
Twenty-year old Jackson State student Latasha Norman was stabbed in the chest, then stuffed in the trunk of her own car. Cole then drove that car around for days before dumping her body in a north Jackson wooded area.
In 2010 a Hinds County jury convicted Cole of murdering Norman. He was sentenced to life in prison.
A short time later an appeals court overturned that conviction, ruling Manslaughter should have been an option for the jury.
"I just feel like justice was served," added Takeisha Norman. "Hopefully he will get his self together. Hopefully God conditions his heart and works on him to realize what he did and make himself a better man."
"Almost seven years we finally have come to an end," added Bolden.

U.S. Supreme Court
Are Some Laws Beyond Judicial Review? Justices Weigh Right to Sue over Wiretap Statute
Posted Oct 30, 2012 1:52 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Anthony M. Kennedy was among the justices Monday who appeared sympathetic to the plight of lawyers who fear their international communications are being monitored under a 2008 wiretap law targeting terrorism.
Kennedy may have the key vote in the case in which the plaintiffs are claiming they were harmed by the law, the Washington Post reports. According to the New York Times, the challenge "appeared to face an uphill climb at the Supreme Court on Monday, but not one quite as steep as many had anticipated."
At issue in the case is whether the plaintiffs—lawyers, journalists and others—have standing to challenge the statute, which authorizes U.S. monitoring of international emails and phone calls without a warrant for each target. The challengers claim they can sue because they faced a substantial risk their communications would be monitored and took costly measures to avoid it. The government claims any harm is speculative.
Kennedy said he believed lawyers would have to take steps to avoid being monitored. "I think the lawyer would engage in malpractice if he talked on the telephone with some of these clients, given this statute," he said.
Justice Antonin Scalia, on the other hand, suggested that some laws are beyond judicial review. "We've had cases in the past where it is clear that nobody would have standing to challenge what is brought before this court," he said. "That just proves that under our system of separated powers, it is none of our business."

Leave It to Buckner
This time, it's no mistake: Twenty years after The Error, the unforgivable first baseman and his unlikely new friend Mookie Wilson are cashing in on Sox fans' pain.
This is what it's like when you win, Billy Buck.
I'm crammed behind a table in what years ago was the training room for the New York Jets football team but these days is just another ratty corner of ratty Shea Stadium. (You remember Shea, Buck.) There are 40 or 50 of us packed in with our television cameras, tape recorders, and notebooks, and the room is crackling with excitement. It's like a party in here. Tonight the New York Mets are celebrating the 20-year reunion of the…oh, sorry, Buck, you know what they're celebrating.
The Mets have brought all the big stars from their 1986 World Series team back to Shea for the festivities. They're going to be introduced in a couple of hours to a sellout crowd, but at the moment they're sitting before us reporters at three long tables arranged in the shape of a U. Keith Hernandez, Howard Johnson, Lenny Dykstra, Rick Aguilera, they're all here, and so are Darryl Strawberry and Gary Carter, though as the biggest names they've been moved to a separate area to accommodate all the press attention. Oh, your good friend Mookie Wilson is here, too.
As far as I can tell, I'm the only writer from Boston in this crowd. The year 1986 is not remembered with much fondness by Red Sox fans, but I guess you know that, too, Buck. I'm crouching about three feet behind Wilson, leaning over his left shoulder so I can hear him answer questions from other reporters. It's loud in here, Buck. I mean really loud. The World Series high lasts a long, long time. What's interesting about the questions is how many of them concern a player who's not in the room. That would be you, Buck.
"How often do all these guys ask you about the play, Buckner's legs?" asks one of the half dozen reporters who are swarming around Wilson, shoving microphones and cameras in his face. Wilson laughs and says, "That's all anybody asks me." You know, Buck, Wilson's been retired for 15 years, but he looks as if he could step into the batter's box on this very night, if he had to, and hit the kind of feeble dribbler up the first base line that made both of you famous.
Now here's Bruce Beck, from Channel 4 in New York, leaning in with his cameraman. "Mookie," he says, "do you still see the ball going through Buckner's legs in your dreams?" Wilson responds that there's no need to dream when he wants to visualize the moment. "I have a lot of pictures in my house," he says. "I see it in every corner." Hey, Buck, I bet some of those pictures have been autographed by you. The only question is, were they freebies, or did you charge your partner, same as everybody else?
Until recently, I'd never really seen the point in hating Bill Buckner.
If others wanted to pin the whole thing on him, that was fine by me, but the truth is, the score was already tied by the time he flubbed that grounder. And it was John McNamara, the manager, who left the gimpy first baseman in there when he should have replaced him with Stapleton to protect the lead. Plus, it was only Game 6. The Sox could have won it all the next night, but they blew another lead, and Buckner had nothing to do with that. I'd always considered Buckner just the latest punch line in a cruel joke that was 68 years old by the time he came along. (Did you hear Bill Buckner tried to commit suicide after the World Series? He stepped in front of a bus but it went between his legs.) I was 15 that night, and I drove my fist into the wall of my parents' home in Maine, but I never really cared one way or another about Buckner. Getting worked up over a patsy just never seemed worth the energy. Things do change, though.
October 25 marks the 20th anniversary of the mistake that defines Buckner's existence. The fact that this milestone comes just two years after the Red Sox finally won the World Series has a lot of people around here thinking it's about time we forgave old Billy Buck. The sting of a loss that for so long grew more painful with each year has at last begun to fade. Fans are wondering now whether Buckner's right when he complains that he's been mistreated—"I've gone through a lot of, which I feel, undeserved bad situations for myself and my family over a long period of time," he said in 2004—all because of that single error. The fans have heard he lives in virtual seclusion out in Idaho. They've read about his wife's claim that after a relief pitcher for the Angels shot himself, a reporter called to ask whether Buckner had ever considered doing the same. He's suffered long enough, they're saying; all he wants is to be left alone, to never again have to talk about the ball rolling between his legs. It's like he told the Globe three years ago, "I don't sit in the woods and think about it. Ever."
But that's not exactly true. The problem with Bill Buckner is that when he's not trying to forget about that softly skipping grounder, he's scheming to squeeze every last nickel out of it. Every so often, an overnight package arrives on the doorstep of Buckner's house in Boise, Idaho. Stuffed inside are hundreds of copies of the same photo: The ball is already past Buckner, the first base umpire is thrusting out his arm to indicate a fair ball, and Mookie Wilson is in full sprint for the bag. These pictures await only the few alchemic strokes of Buckner's autograph marker that will transform them into gold. He and Wilson have an exclusive deal with a New York memorabilia company that sells the signed photos: $99 for an 8-by-10, $119 for a 16-by-20. As part of their relationship with Steiner Sports Marketing, Buckner and Wilson also appear together a couple of times a year at signing events in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, pens in hand, grinning into an ocean of orange-and-blue Mets caps.
As a strict civil libertarian, I oppose prohibitions on prostituting oneself, but Buckner's nauseating sanctimony long ago slipped into outright hypocrisy: It wasn't his fault. He just wants to forget the whole thing. Everyone's so nasty to his family. Buckner is the child who pokes a stick in the hive then whines about the stinging. "I got over it right after it happened," he once told an ESPN.com writer who found him signing photos with Wilson in the basement of a Connecticut hotel. Well, Buckner, we did not. The agony of your bungled play kept burning long after you hobbled out of town.
"I don't care what any Red Sox fans think about this," Buckner said to the ESPN writer. "I busted my butt for them and I had a lot to do with getting us to that point." He said the money was to put his son through college.
I wanted to ask Buckner about his side action, but a Steiner Sports rep said he wasn't interested in talking.
By 1989, Buckner was playing for the Kansas City Royals, and Mookie Wilson had been traded to Toronto. Wilson was on the field stretching one day before a game between the two teams when Buckner walked by. "It was strange," Wilson told me. "We hadn't spoken or talked about that day until then. He said, 'Hey, you want to come hit me some ground balls?'" Both men laughed. "We've been very good friends ever since that," Wilson said.
With his career winding down, Buckner came to spring training the following year in the hopes of winning a spot on, of all teams, the Red Sox. It was a curious choice, given how poorly he says he was treated in Boston, but he hustled his way onto the roster. On Opening Day in 1990, tens of thousands of fans rose to their feet—just four seasons after the heartbreaking error—and showered an ovation upon Buckner that lasted for a full minute. "I don't know what to say," Buckner told the Globe that day. "I never expected a welcome like that." Added Sox legend Dwight Evans, "It gave everybody goose bumps. That was a great moment."
It was also a fleeting moment. After appearing in just 22 games, Buckner was released by the Sox and retired. Wilson followed him into retirement the next year and, as so many former ballplayers do, hung around the game in various coaching positions. Buckner, on the other hand, began a lucrative business career, developing 28 acres in the Boise suburb of Meridian into three housing subdivisions. He chose to call these new communities Fenway Park, an odd decision given that Buckner played for seven years with the Chicago Cubs—twice as long as the Red Sox—a team with a fairly well-known ballpark of its own. Considering Buckner's mistreatment in Boston, you'd think he might have named his developments Wrigley Field instead.
In 1999, Steiner Sports approached Buckner and Wilson with the idea of getting into the autograph business. "We were on this tear about moments," Brandon Steiner told me when I visited him at his offices on the second floor of a mall in New Rochelle, New York. "We think the concept of a moment is a collectible in itself. People want to collect something that's saved up in their mind." Steiner, wearing slacks and an open-collar shirt, sat at a glass desk in his softly lit office. Hanging on the wall behind him was a huge image of Albert Einstein. Steiner said Buckner's error became "one of the biggest moments we've ever had. We just couldn't keep them in stock." He said he's sold a few thousand of them, and lots of baseballs autographed by the pair, too.
It wasn't difficult to get Buckner on board. "Not really," Steiner said. Eventually he even agreed to do the autograph appearances with Wilson. "I don't think we're going to bring him up to Boston anytime soon," Steiner said.
Buckner will likely survive that loss of potential income. Besides his Fenway Park subdivisions, which feature nearly 100 homes, he owns parts of two car dealerships in Idaho and another in Montana. In the mid-1990s he and his wife sold six houses in Napa, California, grossing $1.3 million. In 2002, the couple flipped an 8,000-square-foot strip mall in Nebraska. Buckner is also involved in multimillion-dollar real estate deals with the Albertson's supermarket chain in Florida, Texas, and New Mexico. In 2003, he and a few partners submitted plans for still another housing development in Meridian, Idaho, this one on about 60 acres. And when Buckner can't stand for another second the torrent of hostility constantly directed at his family, he hides away in a 6,625-square-foot home that sits on four acres, has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, and is assessed at $1.13 million. Bobby Buckner, it's safe to say, will get to go to college even if his father never signs another photo of himself choking in the clutch.
But that's unfair, according to Steiner. "We get what Bill is," he told me. "Bill made a bad play. It doesn't make him a bad person." Before I left, Steiner took me on a tour of his offices. We passed a cubicle where three employees were talking shop. "Hey," Steiner said to the young men, "we should do an auction item—meet Buckner and Wilson. Let's put that up on the website." The employees looked at each other for a moment, then one of them announced his idea for the auction prize. "You get to roll the ball through Buckner's legs," he said. "He stands up and you roll the ball through." They burst out laughing. "These guys," Steiner muttered to himself as he led me away.
So you see, Buck, that's where I'm coming from. And sitting here in this godforsaken room in godforsaken Shea Stadium, it's getting to the point where I can't take it anymore. All these reporters asking about you, and now this guy Seth Swirsky—he says he wrote that Taylor Dayne song "Tell It to My Heart"—stooping down to tell Mookie that he owns the ball. He bought it after Charlie Sheen put it up for auction. Charlie Sheen? Tell it to my heart? Buck, it's a zoo. All these people—millions of people—laughing at you. Don't you care, Buck?
You spent three and a half seasons here, just a pit stop in your 20-year career. You put up mediocre numbers during a pretty mediocre stretch for the Sox, we both know it. Fourth place in 1984, fifth place in 1985. Then came the World Series in 1986, of course, but you were terrible in that postseason run. You hit .200 in 14 games, Buck, and drove in just four runs. And then there was your error.
Your only legacy in Boston is failure. That's no knock on you, actually. Plenty of ballplayers a lot better than you spent their entire careers here, only to fail, too. But it seemed to bother them. Some of them have even managed to be ashamed, aware that it means something special, something worthy of respect, to play for New Englanders who have loved their team to the point of obsession despite the generations of disappointment, despite Pesky holding the ball, and Bucky Bleeping Dent, and Grady leaving Pedro in.
But you, Buck—you who committed the error that symbolized the most agonizing moment in all the anguished history of the Boston Red Sox; who played here for just a blink of an eye; who knows nothing of us and seems to care even less—you prance around like Monica Lewinsky at the Republican National Convention, autographing Garcia y Vegas for anybody willing to lay a few dollars on the table. You give it away cheap, Buck. All of it.
Have you been mistreated? Scapegoated? Are you owed something better? Well, let me finish with an old line, Billy Buck: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
Thanks for the Memories
As much as we'd like to forget, we all remember exactly where we were on October 25, 1986.
By Rebecca G. Dorr
"I was watching at my girlfriend's house—she's now my wife. The Sox were winning, and her stepfather, who wasn't a baseball fan, said, 'I wish they would just lose and get the World Series over with.' I was so mad that I left the house and went home. So I was sitting at the end of my bed, alone, when they lost. It was an absolute shock. I just started crying. I've never forgiven that man for saying that."
—Dana Van Fleet, whose family has owned the Cask 'n Flagon since 1969
"I was debating my [gubernatorial] opponent at Faneuil Hall that night. During the debate, someone handed me a piece of paper that said Red Sox 3, Mets nothing, and I announced it with great fanfare. After, I got home around the sixth or seventh inning, and Kitty and I settled down to watch them win. Of all the painful Red Sox moments, I'll never understand it. Buckner was a hell of a ballplayer. Gutsy. But he could barely run. And we had an excellent defensive first baseman named Dave Stapleton. Why McNamara didn't put him in for the 10th inning…"
—Governor Mike Dukakis
"I was living in New York City. I was in agony because my parents were visiting, and we went out to a play. During intermission, we went outside and all the limos in the theater district had the game on. My mother, in an act of great charity, said, 'You look miserable. Why don't you go back to our hotel and watch the game?' I wasn't really willing to be optimistic until there were two out and two strikes on the third batter, and I said to my father—their play had finished—'I actually think they're going to win.' It was at that moment they got the first base hit and the sequence of events that followed. New York erupted, and you could hear people shouting and cheering, car horns blasting, bells ringing, and I'm sitting there forced to endure this celebration."
—Paul Grogan, CEO of the Boston Foundation
"I was right there at Shea Stadium. I was in the Red Sox dugout with Mrs. Yawkey. When Buckner came off the field that night, I shook his hand, patted his back, and said, 'You're the person who brought the Red Sox to this point.'"
—Boston Mayor Ray Flynn
"I was at a high school dance in East Boston with a cute boy. A group of people were just standing around his car with the radio blasting, and when the ball went under Buckner's legs, we were all like, 'WHAT?!? No fucking way!' We weren't going to riot or anything, but we sort of shared in the misery and made quite a bit of noise."
—Kay Hanley, musician
"I was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at my daughter's freshman parents' weekend. We were watching the game in a hotel room. As the ball went through Buckner's legs, we all went speechless. After that, there was nothing to say. It was very depressing. My wife is convinced I didn't speak for three months."
—Ron Druker, president of the Druker Company
"My wife and I were at a big dinner party thrown by non–baseball friends, Anna and David Kanarek. At the party, a small group kept padding upstairs to the Kanareks' auxiliary set. This group became so large that Anna actually sent her son Denny up to the roof to cut the antenna wire. Denny, however, climbed through the second-story window and joined us. The ball went through Buckner's legs. 'What's wrong? Where is everybody?' asked Anna. Two of her guests, I can tell you, were already trudging home, where our sons, Paul and Theo, sat frozen on our couch, a place they symbolically remained, in some sense, until October of 2004."
—Leslie Epstein, director of the BU creative writing program and father of Sox GM Theo Epstein


text: UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre looked fantastic in his return to the Octagon. He took an quick lead, controlling the first two rounds with both his strong boxing and grappling, and he opened a large cut on Condit's forehead with an elbow. Then in the third Condit landed a tricky head kick that knocked the Champion to the ground. St. Pierre rallied to take the round back on the score cards, putting Condit on his back and landing hard shots. The wind seemed to be back in Condit's sails after the third and he was very competitive in the final two rounds, even putting St. Pierre on his back, a rarity, but St. Pierre managed to finish just ahead of him in each round.

Arundel High graduate Alec Lemon will show off his athletic skills this week when the NFL Combine begins in Indianapolis.
Lemon, who followed his Arundel career with a solid four years at Syracuse, is considered one of the top wide receivers looking to be selected in the NFL Draft.
SBNation lists Lemon as the 24th-best wide receiver in the class, while other draft projections offer a similar assessment. There were 33 wideouts drafted last season, suggesting that he could be a late-round pick.
The NFL Combine assesses players' athletic abilities through a series of tests including a 40-yard dash, bench press, shuttle run, broad jump, high jump and 3-cone drill.
The Post-Standard in Syracuse said Lemon has been preparing in Tempe, AZ for the combine, and has been working to improve his 40-yard dash time.
NFL.com gave Lemon a score of 54 on 100-point scale, suggesting he'll be drafted between the 4th and 7th round.
The NFL Combine will take place Feb. 23-26 and will be televised on the NFL Network.

Before sunrise in Lawndale on Sunday, a routine traffic stop turned deadly when a gun-wielding passenger inside the car took off running down an alley. When he slipped and fell to the ground, he reportedly reached for his gun.
"At that point, the officers opened fire, I believe the offender is DOA, weapon was recovered from the offender, no officers injured, the investigation continues at this point," said Pat Camden, Spokesman of the Fraternal Order of Police.
This shooting was just one of several across the city killing at least six people and injuring more than two dozen others.
Just hours before, another shooting that left a blood-stained sidewalk outside the Southway Lounge in Chatham. The shooting happened just steps away from the club's entrance and killed a 40 year old man and injured 3 others.
"We don't feel safe in this area. Maybe from the position that the policemen, there are not enough," said a local store manager.
He says more beat cops are needed to patrol the neighborhood and Douglas Malone agrees.
"They got the police officers out here walking the beats but they have the police officers out here during the wrong hours of the day. You know we have a lot of shootings that are going on up and down 79th Street period," said Malone.
"Because for one, I got out of jail two weeks ago for trafficking and when I got out of jail I was standing on this corner right here and a guy actually pulled a gun on me in broad daylight and the police were nowhere to be found. It's crazy, it's really really crazy over here, something definitely needs to be done," said Malone.

John McCain: Senator, Navy pilot, war hero ... lobbyist?
By Bill Adair
Published on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 at 12:23 p.m.
The primary isn't until Aug. 24, 2010, but the two Republicans facing off in this fall's U.S. Senate race -- John McCain, the incumbent, and J.D. Hayworth, the former House member who's challenging him -- are already engaged in bare-knuckled combat in their campaign ads.
It all began in June, when McCain produced an ad that hits Hayworth for serving as a lobbyist. "J.D. Hayworth says he's an outsider, but after he was voted out of Congress he became a registered lobbyist," the narrator intones in the McCain ad. "Hayworth was paid thousands by a Florida corporation to lobby the very committee he used to serve on." When we analyzed the ad, we found disclosure forms filed with Congress that confirmed that Hayworth served as a lobbyist, so we ruled the statement True.
In response, the Hayworth camp tried to label McCain as a onetime lobbyist, too -- a charge that McCain proceeded to attack in a second ad. In this item, we'll check the charge made by the Hayworth camp that was cited in McCain's second ad.
McCain's second ad revolves around footage showing an unnamed Hayworth spokesman saying, "Sen. McCain started out as a lobbyist in Washington when in 1976 he was the liaison for the Navy to the United States Senate."
McCain? A lobbyist? We decided to check it out.

The inconjunct is a tricky, hard to reconcile aspect. It's formed between planets that are five Zodiac signs, or 150 degrees apart. The very different energies create a natural conflict.
In the natal chart, it's a point of tension that keeps rearing its head. The combo is an awkward match, and creates stress of sense of feeling conflicted. Both evoke very different responses and with tension, the sparks that fly can be either creative or destructive.
On the creative side, the inconjunct creates restlessness and a divine discontent. On the destructive side, are days of frustration with seemingly no way to reconcile the energies.
The friction of the inconjuct creates something new, from that conflict. Being aware of the energies in play, takes the edge off, and puts it in perspective. Like the square, it can end up being a burden or a strength.

Silly season! It's silly season for rumors! Hooray! And from Ken Rosenthal, we have a provocatively titled article about the Cubs and Prince Fielder:
Fielder should be Cubs' player to lose
The article is more of an opinion piece from Rosenthal, explaining why the Cubs make all sorts of sense for the Cubs -- and he's right. Other than the Rangers and Blue Jays, it's hard to see a better match between Fielder and teams that have both money and an open spot. The Cubs lost 91 games last year, but with Albert Pujols gone and Fielder likely to leave the Brewers, the balance of power isn't likely to need a decade to shift. Fielder will be around for a while.
But, hold on, Dale Sveum is the new Cubs manager, and this is all news to him:
Sveum on Prince and #Cubs: "At this point I think it's a lot of media talking more than us doing anything. We haven't had any talks."
I'm not sure if it's more amusing or sad that I'd probably believe a Rosenthal hunch before I believed a manager, but it's one person's job to get the scoop and another's to manage a group of 25 baseball players. Still, Sveum probably has some idea of how his team is managing the offseason, and as of right now, the Cubs are tentatively starting Bryan LaHair at first base. They could also explore a trade for Gaby Sanchez after the Marlins sign Fielder.

Braco's gaze touches his visitors with peace, silence and hope. Amazing transformations happen, and many find new power, vitality and a zest for life resulting from their experience. Braco does not teach, talk or diagnose to give treatments—he simply gazes in silence and offers his gift to visitors—independent from religion, ideology, race, color and culture.
For over 19 years, Braco has dedicated his life to giving. Over this time, more and more people have come for this unique experience to improve their lives. Today Braco travels to countries globally by invitation; including Europe, Asia, Australia, Russia, and he frequently tours in the United States.

But Braco just holds his peace without talking or offering explanations, focusing completely on his life task—to give and help.

Restless Shadeling
Roars and idles about.
Vocalizations (on-click)
This wild pet can be found in the Master's Cellar. The entrance to the cellar is located in the ruined town just outside of the Karazhan instance in Deadwind Pass.
The shadeling only spawns during the early morning hours (roughly between midnight and 9 AM).
Spawned today in the early AM around 2 and 2:30. 2 uncommons, no rares.
Restless shadelings spawning right now in the master's cellar, first one i got was a rare! They are UNDERGROUND but will show up on your minimap if you walk over the cellar. It is approximately 7:47 server time on Undermine.
was in STV, got bored, Bloodscalp EU, thought "oh hey I'll go kara"
then realised this guy was up.
Master's Cellar: 05:20 am server time, 5 fights, 1 rare
Just got my rare H/H at 5:30am EST 4:30am Server on Steamwheedle Cartel.
Yep as was said. They start to spawn at 0:00 server time (not local). Both cellars next to Karazhan. After fighting 24 of them got both Rare (was mostly poor all time)
11:04 AM EST. 10:04 Server.
TON of these around Kara. All of them in the Master's Cellar! I didn't search for rares but I figured I'd post a the time I caught one! :D
10 AM EST right now and there are none to be found. :/ I'm going to continue looking, although I don't think it's happening today. I'll let you know.
Started spawning at midnight on the dot. Plenty of uncommons, but didn't find any rares.
Just caught mine a hair before 9am eastern. They do spawn at midnight pacific time, however they come in waves and from what I hear they stop around 8am pacific or 11 eastern. I didn't feel like waiting til 3am eastern so I just checked this morning around 8:30 eastern and there were droves of them. Was able to catch 3.
From what I've seen, these guys start spawning at midnight, but on Pacific time, not your server's time. I'm not sure if this also applies to non-American servers.
As for the pet itself, I'd recommend a H/H build. Phase Shift will be less useful, but the Shadeling looks like it gets outran a lot even with H/S, so it might be best to shoot for the extra turn the Undead racial gets for being slower, and use it to get off one last Plagued Blood for the rest of your team.
I find the H/S version most useful, but I am partial to dodge moves. With Arcane Blast you can handle fliers quite well. Plagued Blood is very useful in multi attack teams or with Turret or Immolation pets. I use it a bit but rarely see it in use by others. Guess it is not as obviously powerful as some of the other Undead pets.
They were all over the Master's Cellar until 10a realm time (12p EDT).
Went to the master's cellar at 10:45am on Trollbane, whole area was filled with them. I attacked the first one I saw and it ended up being a rare.
Does anyone know UK spawn times
Server Shadowsong EU
Logged on 6am to 9am GMT and not a single spawn in either cellar?
Did it this morning, loads of spawns
Finally caught a rare 08:54 GMT
First cellar (cave like) not the one with the tunnels
Logged in at 3:45am PST on Wyrmrest Accord and there were no spawns at all. Kinda wierd. Guess I was too slow.
Also popped over to Eathen Ring and checked... Nope! No spawns still after 4:00am PST.
spawn defo starts midnight server time. Draenor.
Server Uldaman, 7:15am local p.s.t., server time 10:15am, found cellers spawning with Restless Shadelings. Farmed until 7:45am with 1 Rare. Got to lacation at 9:00pm local/12:00am server and no spawns. Waited about an hour then logged off. Some one wrote below these despawned at 9:00am which from what I have observed would have to be local times. I am guessing spawn starts at 3:00am local/6:00am server. Good luck, hope this helps
I used alts on 4 different servers for this and it still took 7 hours to get the breed I wanted. >_<
After the initial spawning, they seemed to respawn quickly as I cleared them - sometimes immediately after another was killed. But after 1-2hrs, I was lucky to get 2 or 3 in the cellars every 2 hours. Only 3 other people showed up on 2 servers (I had multiple H/H rares left up for them to grab). Then somewhere between 5-7am PST, the adds all respawned in huge numbers. Not sure if this is typical.
I read the comments and saw 12am west coast time, looked at my clock and saw that was only 20 min away so...what the hey? 12am hit and only 6 spawned with 2 poor, 1 common and 2 uncommon. The last one was in the stairwell and I kept getting "Battle field obstructed". I almost gave up thank goodness I'm stubborn as it was a rare. Went outside to where more eyes had spawned and the first one I fought turned out rare as well. Great ending to a day of pet hunting.
Was going a little crazy trying to find this guy. The pet is underground of Kara, there's little stairs all around the villages. They don't all lead to the same place and there's not a pet in each underground area. The first one I went in by Kara's entrance didn't have any however the other entrance did. Of course the first one I found I killed in sheer excitement >.< Found it at 8:58 am server/local time.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan State coach Tom Izzo says his players deserve credit for getting the program back to its staples of rebounding and defense.
The 11th-ranked Spartans are competing for another Big Ten championship -- in a season that started with them out of the poll -- because they've bounced back in those two key parts of the game.
Michigan State is third in the nation in rebound differential and 19th in points allowed per game after being 48th and 125th in the same categories last season.
The Spartans will be tested on the boards Wednesday against Penn State and overall by third-ranked Ohio State on Saturday.

Ralph Malbrough / Contributing Writer
NEW ORLEANS -- I wonder what Steve Spagnuolo thinks during Saints games as he watches one of the worst defenses since the NFL merger in 1970? It's probably something along the lines of, "I hope the defense I just called is a lucky guess and works out." At this point that's pretty much all Spagnuolo is doing.
The Saints defense doesn't do anything well or even average, so five weeks into the season Spagnuolo has two options: play the personnel group, which has a decent chance of stopping the run, or the personnel group, which might sack the quarterback.
Did I mention the personnel group that is OK against the run has no shot to touch the quarterback on a pass play unless the secondary can cover for what will seem like eternity? And that the personnel group is very likely to give a 90 yard touchdown run at anytime? It's like playing blackjack and having to decide whether to stay or hit on 17 while the dealer is showing a face card. You'll lose more than you win and the experience will be miserable.
Against the Chargers Spagnuolo went with the personnel group that can put pressure on the quarterback. The upside was Martez Wilson and Junior Galette did create a lot of pressure and Wilson even sealed the game with sack and fumble recovery. The downside was the Chargers averaged nearly seven yards every running play and the only thing stopping them was Norv Turner was too stupid to run the ball more. This will be your 2012 Saints defense. One of my twitter followers said we should call them the 'marsh fire' because they are soft, pliable, and always getting burned. I think the 2012 Saints defense is the 'Blackjack or Bust' defense. If Spags guesses right then it's blackjack resulting in a sack, fumble, interception, or a run of less then four yards or he guesses wrong and it's bust and a play resulting in a 60yard touchdown.
When I play blackjack I'm really aggressive and always hit on 17 so if Spags wants to play the personnel group with pass rush skills and dare teams to run the ball down the Saints throat I'm fine with it. Turnovers happen more on pass plays and really at this point that's the best we can hope for with this defense.
Good luck guessing when a team will run or pass Spags, you'll need it.
Sean Payton sabbatical spot of the week: Mount Rushmore
Sean could head to South Dakota and gaze up at some great leaders of America. Did you know about 90 percent of the carving at the mountain was done by dynamite. Those blasts removed about 450,000 tons of fine-grained granite from the mountain. You won't see destruction like that until the Falcons season goes boom in January.
The games
Last Week: 2-3
Season: 10-15
Miami (-3.5) vs. St. Louis: If the Dolphins get to 3-3 my wife will probably start saying, "Since the Dolphins are .500 we should watch them on TV and you can watch the Saints on your Ipad." Guh. The scary part is I've watched all Miami's games and they really should be 4-1. I'm not even kidding.
Dolphins 23-17
Tampa (-4) vs. Kansas City: The Bucs are pretty awful. They can't pass the ball or stop the pass. Of course the Chiefs are a ridiculous –15 in turnover margin. Even if the Saints go 3-13 the fact they lost to a Romeo Crennel coached team will bother me forever.
Bucs 13-6
Dallas (+3.5) at Baltimore: The Ravens defense is finally old as Jamaal Charles ran for like 1000 yards on them in the first half last week. Jason Garrett or Tony Romo could screw this pick up but I doubt it.
Cowboys 31-21
Atlanta (-9) vs. Oakland: Do you want some silver lining to the Falcons 5-0 start? They are using up all their lucky breaks early in the year. In 2009 the Saints saved their miracles for late in the year and the playoffs. Atlanta won't need any miracles this week though.
Falcons 38-13
South Carolina (+2.5) at LSU: The Tigers offensive line is beat up, their receivers can't catch, and the quarterback has the pocket awareness best described as a blind man trying to cross the highway. It's horrible, tragic, scary, and yet you can't take your eyes off it. It usually ends with someone saying, "That poor man had no idea he was going to get run over by a mack truck." Saturday Jadeveon Clowney will play the role of the truck. Besides that everything's fine in Baton Rouge. South Carolina has a dominant defensive line and a running game to wear down the Tigers.
I fully expect Les Miles to go full on Les Miles which means we are probably in for him calling 9 timeouts, faking a kickoff, going for fourth and 23 from his own 7 yard line and any other insane scenario you can dream up. The problem is will LSU even score? Yes but it won't be enough. This will be the worst 13-3 game we ever see.
South Carolina 13-3

Good stuff! Gimmie some of that good stuff!
Posted by Richard Harland Smith on August 29, 2014
I am taking five from talking about death in any form to talk about one of our favorite things. Who doesn't like good stuff?! (Answer: no one.) The contents of today's Good Stuff! column will reflect some lovely things I have either gotten in the mail, free of charge (for being, I presume, awesome) or for which I have spent my own hard-won geekbacks. So stand back… I don't know how good this thing is gonna get…
I don't even care to know how long it has been since I last laid down coin for an issue of Richard Klemenson's phenomenal Little Shoppe of Horrors. (Okay, I had to peek… it has been about ten years years since I bought LSoH 16 at the old Tower Records in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, which is now a furniture store. Not good stuff!) Devoted to the back catalog (horror, science fiction, suspense, and everything in-between) of Great Britain's Hammer Film Productions, this bi-annual mag takes a title or two and really runs with it, dishing up making-of histories, interviews with surviving cast and crew (a job that gets sadly more difficult every year, as more and more of the old gang pass away), production art (set renderings, wardrobe sketches, et al), and new art that honors the "Hammer Horrors" that were for many of us weirdos something near to mother's milk. I grew up on these vivid Eastmancolor shockers, they changed my DNA (what the hell did I like before?) and made me the manthing I am today. LSoH#32 shines a light on one of the redheaded stepchildren of the Hammer family tree, that wonky Hammer-Shaw Brothers collaboration THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES (aka THE SEVEN BROTHERS MEET DRACULA, aka DRACULA AND THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES, 1974), which attempted, in those days of rapidly diminishing returns for all things Gothic, to mine the rich vein of martial arts cinema to deliver to finicky moviegoers "black belt vs. black magic." I love the movie, warts and all (and at times it seems warts are all there is holding this thing together), representing as it does Peter Cushing's last appearance as Dracula's nemesis Dr. Van Helsing (absent from the screen since the prologue of DRACULA AD 1972, after which he played a different Dr. Van Helsing) and some cool, eerie, undead peregrinations on the part of the eponymous bloodsuckers and their moldy constituency. I've shown the movie to my kids, too, who love it even though it gets a bit booby at times, which embarrasses them; luckily, they are too young to be embarrassed by anything else in this wildly uneven but never less than 100% entertaining slumgullion.
Running for some fifty-odd (and at times exceedingly odd!) pages, "The Making of THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES" is compelling and engrossing (and at times exceedingly gross!) reading for the Hammerhead. A 2002 interview with director Roy Ward Baker (who went to his rest in 2010) is chased with more recent chats with continuity girl (now woman) Renee Glynne (who was also on the set of Hammer's troubled SHATTER) and actors Robin Steward and John Forbes Robertson, the latter the dude who had the unenviable job of replacing Christopher Lee in the role of Count Dracula. Forbes Roberson talks about his hiring for the project, the weird county carnival make-up that the Chinese crew slapped on him, and the disconcerting/disappointing result of finding out when he went to see the finished film that Hammer execs had redubbed him with another actor. Bruce Hallenbeck's behind-the-scenes chronicle is a great summation of the project's origins, execution, and result, and there are other jewels studding this crown that will give one, if one wishes to have it, a fuller appreciation of how THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES was given to the world. Plus original documents pertaining to the production, in the form of wardrobe sketches, call sheets, and script pages with handwritten notes galore, plus original art that pays homage to the film, such as this neat illustration (left) by artist Belle Dee (with whom we had a lovely talk back in 2010.) A helluva good read and yours truly promises to be more constant with my patronage.
New from the good folks at Synapse Films is a Blu-ray transfer of the seminal HALLOWEEN (1978) ripoff PROM NIGHT (1980). [Seminal? Do "seminal" and "ripoff" go together? Ripoff?] I saw this in its original theatrical run as an opinionated and rather thickset 18 year-old and while I understand, at least on a cellular level, that it was derivative as all get-out, I was sufficiently invested in the story to be shouting my idea of who the killer was at the screen (trying to out-shout all the other guessers). Turns out I was wrong (yay! I love being wrong!) and it's great to catch up with this Canadian slasher in a high definition presentation. Synapse has long given the Criterion Collection treatment to movies that polite society would cross the street to avoid, which is a boon for those of us who like the stranger things in life. Synapse's Blu for PROM NIGHT was culled from the original 35mm camera negative and offers a robust 5.1 Surround Sound remix (while also offering the original mono track, for us purists). Extras run a delicious gamut from an exclusive audio commentary track from director Paul HUMONGOUS Lynch (I don't know if he refers to himself that way but, Jesus, he should!) and writer William Gray (who had shared a writing credit that same year on Peter Medak's THE CHANGELING) to a to-die-gorily-for making-of featurette, a still gallery, the original theatrical trailer and TV spots, and, and, and — as if this bounty were not enough — additional scenes added to PROM NIGHT for television broadcast and outtakes. Man alive, right?!
Also from Synapse Films is another special edition Blu-ray for the more obscure — but, paradoxically, more widely loved (I mean, among the deeply weird) CURTAINS (1983), a seminal severed-head-in-the-toilet movie, and another product of the Great White North. (Boy, remember when every third movie you went to go see in the cinema was from Canada?) This one stars that great and greatly missed character actor John Vernon (POINT BLANK, DIRTY HARRY, THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, ANIMAL HOUSE, HERBIE GOES BANANAS) as a legendary (in his own mind) film director who invites a clutch of actresses to his remote country home to compete for a role in his latest film… but a masked murderer has his own ideas about who will make the final cut. [MUSIC STING.] Backing Vernon's play is a splendid pigpile of ladytalent, whose number includes (but is not limited to) THE AVENGERS' Linda Thorson, STRANGE BREW's Lynn Griffin, THE BROOD's Samantha Eggar, and the mighty, mighty Maury Chaykin (who also passed away in 2010 — what a bastard year!) of THE KIDNAPPING OF THE PRESIDENT (1980), WAR GAMES (1983), DEFCON 4 (1985), BREAKING IN (1989), THE SWEET HEREAFTER (1997) and other fine films (like TURK 182). But I digress. Transferred from original vault materials, Synapse's CURTAINS Blu-ray is another stunner that is chock o'the block with exclusive supplements, not the least of which is a featurette retrospective reunited the surviving cast and crew, behind-the-scenes footage, a vintage documentary short subject on director Richard Ciupka, and audio tracks featuring actresses Lynne Griffin and Lesleh Donaldon and Samantha Eggar and producer Peter Simpson. And more. MORE! Because you can't spell Synapse without M-O-R-E.
Finally, I received the gift last week from my fine feathered fiends over at Monstrous Movie Music of this limited edition CD of the soundtrack to Ted V. Mikels' THE DOLL SQUAD (1973), purported (purports vary) inspiration for the long-running Aaron Spelling TV series CHARLIE'S ANGELS. I guess I would up on the mailing list for this because I wrote up THE DOLL SQUAD for TCM at some point in the not-s0-distant past — but whatever the reason I am deeply grateful. This kitsch classic is not, perhaps, for all tastes but Nicholas Carras' score is an infectious collision of quasi-007 spy grooves, 70s cop movie beats, exotic flourishes, shimmying flute solos, and enough brass to put hair on your chest whether you want it there or not. This is great driving music, although if you don't find yourself tailing another car and running red lights then you're not really listening. MMM has a lot of great movie music to offer these days, including the underscores for DESTINATION MOON (1950), THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS (1957), and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964) – want! Visit the Monstrous Movie Music website to listen to audio samples and to spend your last hard-earned dollar. The first piece of my own critical writing that I ever saw published anywhere in the world was a review in MONSTERSCENE for the original Monstrous Movie Music discs, back in the mid-90s, which gives this product plug a pleasing circularity. Good stuff indeed.

I just watched Destination Moon a month ago. TCM aired it and I tivoed it,watched it. It impressed me. I guess I assumed it was going to be like Queen of Outerspace, but it wasn't at all. It was a serious look at landing men on the moon, studying the moon, equipment going haywire, have to rescue the men, etc. Also, that Woody Woodpecker cartoon was an unexpected treat. Thanks for the info on MMM-I'll give it a visit.

A lotta love for Maury Chaykin up here in Halifax, he seemed to do a lot of work in Nova Scotia, besides Def-Con 4 there was also the creepy kids film from the same director, George's Island, and his last role, playing a mad scientist in a side project from the Trailer Park Boys called, wait for it, The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Funtime Hour. I interviewed him once years ago, and he described me as "a very odd young man." I'll take that as a compliment — do I have any other choice? — coming from such an accomplished oddball thespian such as himself.

Someone had to start it.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
God you are a moron.
It is his as of now. But with the way the year has gone overall (and that fact that we only played BU just now) he is still on a short leash. Let's just all pray he can take tonight and get into a positive grove and keep ISU winning games this year.
Yes, but honestly, I still have a lot of concerns. 2 turnovers and what should have been a 3rd. 3rd touchdown to West was an up for grabs throw as well if the Baylor defender had played the ball.
I think he did, and it's his to keep if he can take care of the ball.
If Steele plays like that from here on out we're a damn tough team to beat... Key word if... i love Steeles abilities, just hope he can keep making good decisions cuz hes a really talented guy... and he has a ton of heart... what a great game, I'm extremely impressed with his composure out there...
I'll take two turnovers-- rather than a guy who can't even handle a snap without fumbling it-- any day.

they played against the worst defense in the country bascially. Jantz played good but I bet people on this board could play QB and get 1 TD against their D. It's that bad.
If he plays like this against Oklahoma, then we have something to talk about

Also had about 8 drops. The pass was horrilbe that was picked. The fumble I am not down on him too much, was trying for the first down. He can clearly make plays Barnett can not. And really, 2 turnovers in 100 plays isn't the end of the world.
Let's all remember that Baylor has the worst defense in all of FBS football. And I believe the worst defense in 16 years. That's bad.
That being said, he played great tonight and we shouldn't take that away from him. I just hope he's found somewhat of a connection with his WR's and can keep it rolling against OU. And can we get some hand warmers for Aaron Horne?
When Prepared, Fear No One.
5-0 last two seasons when we start adifferent QB than the previous game. We should just alternate every game.
Hard to tell. It still scares me every time he just lobs the ball up waiting for a pickoff. Barnett does the same thing. Why they can't fire the ball in there, I can't understand.

Agree with you, but it should also be known that only Geno Smith has had a better game against Baylor from all the QBs that faced Baylor pass defense this season.
