SB Nation New York: All Posts by Jeff Freier http://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/48977/ny-fave.png 2012-12-28T12:19:25-05:00 http://newyork.sbnation.com/authors/jeff-freier/rss 2012-12-28T12:19:25-05:00 2012-12-28T12:19:25-05:00 Eagles vs. Giants: The history
Philadelphia vs. New York equals intense hatred, in whatever sport or rivalry one chooses. Flyers-Rangers, 76ers-Knicks, Phillies-Mets and even the old Philadelphia A's and Yankees were rivals. In football, it dates back to 1933, when the Eagles were born and began playing the Giants. The two teams have faced each other 161 times, with the Giants having a slight edge over the Eagles, with a 83-76-2 record, which includes four playoff games. The Giants have also won more titles (eight) than the Eagles, who have won three NFL Championships (1948, '49 and '60) but are still looking for their first Super Bowl win. The history between the Eagles and Giants is so long one could write a book about it, so we'll just rummage through the wreckage, the pain, the triumph and the thrills, and pick a few facts, highlights and lowlights.

The first-ever meeting occurred on Oct. 15, 1933 (eight days after baseball's New York Giants defeated the Washington Senators to win the World Series), at the Polo Grounds, and football's Giants kept the winning momentum going at the field of champions, by destroying the Eagles, 56-0, in Philadelphia's NFL debut game. The Eagles finished with a 3-5-1 record in their first season, defeating the Cincinnati Reds for their first win (and again for their third victory, in the Reds' second and final year of existence) along with the Pittsburgh Pirates (to be renamed the Steelers in 1940), in the somewhat National League baseball-themed season. The Giants went 11-3 in that year but lost to the Chicago Bears in the NFL Championship Game, thwarting the chance for three New York champions, as the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in the spring of '33. The first time the Eagles beat the Giants came on Oct. 28, 1934, in their fourth try, defeating New York at the Polo Grounds, 17-0.

The Giants and Eagles have squared off in the playoffs four times, with the first coming almost 50 years after their first game, on Dec. 27, 1981, at Veterans Stadium. The teams split the season series, each winning a game. The Giants' win was the first time they defeated the Eagles since 1975, and this was their first playoff game since 1963. In the 27-21 victory, the Giants jumped all over Philadelphia in the first quarter, when Scott Brunner threw touchdown passes to Leon Bright and John Mistler while Mark Haynes scored on a fumble return. The Eagles got on the board when Ron Jaworski hit Harold Carmichael with a 15-yard pass, but Brunner connected with Tom Mullady on a 22-yard pass to give the Giants a 27-7 lead. Wilbert Montgomery ran for two more Eagle touchdowns but the Giants prevailed when Brunner successfully kneeled down to end the game, avoiding any Joe Pisarcik-like mishaps. Rob Carpenter was the offensive star for New York, rushing for 161 yards, and Herm Edwards intercepted a Brunner pass for the Eagles.

The Giants won again the second time around, on Jan. 7, 2001, 20-10, at the Meadowlands, as it was the first step toward their Super Bowl appearance. The Giants defeated the Eagles twice during the regular season, and the playoffs would be no different. The game couldn't have begun any better for New York, when Ron Dixon returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. The Giants added three points in the second quarter on a 37-yard Brad Daluiso field goal, and seven more on the signature play of the game, a tumbling, acrobatic 32-yard interception return by Jason Sehorn. The two teams then traded field goals, and the Eagles finally scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter (a Donovan McNabb to Torrance Small 10-yard pass), but it was all over by that point. Each team turned the ball over three times, but Kerry Collins was efficient (12-for-19, 122 yards, no picks) and the Giants' defense sacked McNabb six times, with Michael Strahan recording two.

Six years later to the day, the Giants and Eli Manning weren't quite up to Super Bowl material just quite yet, as they lost to the Eagles 23-20, at Lincoln Financial Field. The Giants and Eagles split the season series, but Philadelphia prevailed in the playoff meeting. The Giants scored first on a Manning to Plaxico Burress 17-yard connection, but the Eagles eventually took a 20-10 lead into the fourth quarter. The Giants came back to tie the game on a Jay Feely field goal and another Manning-to-Burress touchdown strike, but the Eagles, with five minutes left, methodically marched down the field, and David Akers booted a 38-yard field goal as time expired to win it. The Giants had no answer for Brian Westbrook, as he rushed for 141 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown run. Tiki Barber gained 137 yards in a losing cause.

The Giants fell to the Eagles again two years later, 23-11, at a cold and windy Meadowlands. Ahmad Bradshaw returned the opening kickoff 65 yards to give the Giants great field position, but they had to settle for a field goal, which was the theme of the day, as the Giants' points came on three field goals and a safety, while the Eagles made into the end zone twice to go with a trio of field goals. The Giants rushed for 138 yards to 59 for the Eagles, but it didn't help.

Besides getting the better of the Giants in the last two playoff matchups, the Eagles have also authored three nightmares in Giants history that will never be erased from the minds of Giant fans, as hard as they may try. The first came on Nov. 20, 1960, when Chuck Bednarik knocked out Frank Gifford and sent the halfback into an 18-month retirement. Things began well for the Giants that afternoon at Yankee Stadium, when Joe Morrison ran for a one-yard touchdown and Pat Summerall kicked a 26-yard field goal. But the Eagles, led by Hall of Fame quarterback Norm Van Brocklin, in his last season, scored 17 unanswered points in the second half, and won 17-10, with Bednarik's blow to Gifford being the cherry on top. Gifford, who would return in 1962 while changing positions to flanker, rushed for 24 yards that day, completed a 13-yard pass and caught five passes, for 89 yards. Philadelphia also defeated the Giants a week later, 31-23, and went on to win the NFL Championship when they beat the Green Bay Packers.

The play that ultimately changed the Giants franchise for good occurred on Nov. 19, 1978, at the Meadowlands, and it was, of course, the Joe Pisarcik fumble. The Giants, who were 5-6 and on the verge of snapping a three-game losing streak, had built up a 17-12 lead on a pair of Pisarcik touchdown throws, one to Bobby Hammond and the other to Johnny Perkins, along with a 37-yard Joe Danelo field goal. All that was needed was a kneel-down in the victory formation, but the hapless Giants failed to perform that basic task, when Pisarcik instead handed the ball off to Larry Csonka. The ball bounced off the fullback and was scooped up by Herm Edwards, who ran it 26 yards into the end zone to give the Eagles a 19-17 win. Pisarcik, who went 13-for-23, with 181 yards, two touchdowns and one pick, started four games for the Giants in 1979, and then spent five seasons with . . . the Eagles, as Ron Jaworski's backup (who didn't have a great game himself that fateful day: 15-for-31, 164 yards, three interceptions, no touchdowns). Csonka (13 yards on two carries against the Eagles), played two more games as a Giant, gaining 12 yards, before going back to the Miami Dolphins for his final NFL season, in 1979. The Pisarcik/Csonka fumble along with the 6-10 record of the '78 team ushered in the George Young era, and with it prosperity.

One can replace the names Joe Pisarcik and Herm Edwards with Matt Dodge and DeSean Jackson, but the outcome was just as horrifying, on Dec. 19, 2010, at the New Meadowlands. The Giants were rolling, with a 31-10 lead with 7:28 left in the game . . . yada, yada, yada, Dodge boots a punt, not out of bounds, but to Jackson, who returns it 65 yards for a touchdown as time expires, and the Eagles win, 38-31. The Giants couldn't corral Michael Vick in the fourth quarter, who, for the game, rushed for 130 yards while throwing for 242, with three touchdown passes and one rushing score. Eli Manning tossed four touchdown passes, but the defense just couldn't stop the Eagles in the fourth quarter. Dodge played two more games with the Giants, to finish out the season, and hasn't resurfaced in the NFL.

The biggest losing streak the Giants have had vs. the Eagles: 12 games from 1975 to 1981.

The biggest winning streak the Giants have had vs. the Eagles: Two nine-game streaks, the first from 1938 to 1942, and the second from 1997 to 2001.

The Giants have 11 shutout wins vs. Eagles, and the Eagles have five against the Giants.

The Giants' record by the decade vs. the Eagles: 1930s: 11-3; 1940s: 9-10-1; 1950s: 14-6; 1960s: 11-7; 1970s: 4-15-1; 1980s: 12-9; 1990s: 11-9; 2000s: 10-13; 2010s: 1-4.

While trying to whittle down the top New York sports stories of 2012 to a measly five, plenty of worthy stories won't make the cut. The city's most storied franchise, the New York Yankees, did not find a spot on this list. Sure, there were highlights (Raul Ibanez's heroics, albeit in a losing cause) and lowlights (the Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter injuries), but it was really just business as usual for the Yankees: Jeter had another 200-hit season, Andy Pettitte pitched for the team, Alex Rodriguez was a controversial lightning rod and underperformed in the postseason and the Yankees fell short of a World Series title for the 11th time in 12 seasons. Just another season. And you know it's a busy year stuffed with memorable stories when a New York Rangers-New Jersey Devils Eastern Conference Finals showdown can't make the Top 5, even with the Devils playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. And Zach Parise leaving for Minnesota while Rick Nash comes to town (eventually) doesn't crack the final list either. Nor does Henrik Lundqvist winning the Vezina.

Former New York Jets running back Curtis Martin was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Eli Manning threw for 510 yards in a comeback win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom Coughlin moved up to No. 2 on the New York Giants' all-time coaching wins list with a victory over the 49ers. David Wilson set numerous records with his 327 all-purpose yards in a romp over the New Orleans Saints. The Giants collapsed at the end of this season, with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. The New York Knicks finally won a playoff game for the first time since 2001, though Amar'e Stoudemire gouged his hand by punching a glass case holding a fire extinguisher and the Knicks fell to the Miami Heat in five games. They've resoundingly bounced back, though, with a hot start to the 2012-'13 season under Mike Woodson in his first full season as coach of the Knicks, after Mike D'Antoni "resigned" last season. David Wright broke numerous New York Mets franchise records (hits, RBIs, runs scored), and signed on with the team for eight more years. But none of those slipped into the Top 5. Even Johan Santana's no-hitter didn't make the cut, which is the hardest omission of all. Maybe if the list were Top Moments or Top Performances it would be on and even close to No. 1, but this is Top Stories, which is a different story. And there is a self-imposed rule that the Top 5 have to represent a different team, to spread the wealth. Of course, one man's Top 5 is another man's six through 10, so if anyone disagrees . . . it is fully understandable. So, here are the Top 5 New York sports stories of 2012:

5. Tim Tebow Comes to New York: And . . . the whole thing's a dud. Maybe this would have been a bigger story if Tebow were allowed to play. If he led the Jets to success, or even failure, this could have been a much bigger deal. But it's still Tim Tebow, who caused a stir just by doing a little training-camp jogging. Woody Johnson denied his team traded for Tebow for the headlines and attention, but what else could it have been? The coaching staff clearly wanted nothing to do with him, and his presence on the roster has been one huge distraction, and it has also symbolized the Jets' season of incompetence. The season-ending injuries to Darrelle Revis and Santonio Holmes put the team behind the eight ball to begin with, but the rest of the not-so-talented roster didn't rise to the occasion, leading to another playoff-less season, with the lowlight being the Thanksgiving night debacle, getting humiliated on national TV by the New England Patriots, with Mark Sanchez's face-into-butt fumble being the signature moment of the season. Even Fireman Ed resigned after that game. And when Rex Ryan finally benched Sanchez it conveniently came at a time when Tebow was inactive due to a couple of broken ribs. Greg McElroy led the Jets to victory over the Arizona Cardinals, and, of course, he was immediately benched. Sanchez came back, was worse than ever, and was benched again. With Tebow nowhere to be seen. And the Jets' season fizzled into a bungled, mishandled pile of smoky ruins.

4. The Nets Move to Brooklyn: The Nets have new colors (or lack thereof), new uniforms, a new logo, a new identity and a new brand -- but first they had to say goodbye to New Jersey (for the second time), their home for 35 years (or 36 if you count the franchise's first season, in 1967-'68). The final game in the Garden State occurred on April 23, at the Prudential Center, and the Nets lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, 105-87. Armon Johnson scored the last-ever Nets points in New Jersey, while Lou Williams of the Sixers scored the final points with a three-pointer. Johan Petro took the last-ever shot for the New Jersey Nets, but (maybe fittingly) missed. The last win in New Jersey for the Nets came in April 8, when they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, 122-117. Over the summer, Deron Williams re-signed with the team, as did Gerald Wallace, and they acquired Joe Johnson, Reggie Evans and Andray Blatche, and the Brooklyn Nets were stocked and ready to go. Hurricane Sandy canceled the first scheduled game, against the Knicks, so the Nets instead defeated the Toronto Raptors for their first-ever Brooklyn victory, on Nov. 3, at the brand-new Barclays Center. Their face of the franchise, Williams, took and made the first shot in Brooklyn Nets history, a 14-foot jumper, and Brook Lopez, who was the first to miss a shot for Brooklyn, led the team with 27 points. And when the Knicks finally came to Brooklyn, on Nov. 26, the Nets beat them, too, 96-89, in overtime. After a great start to their debut season in their new home, the Nets have hit a bump in the road, but the move to Brooklyn has changed the landscape of New York basketball. And speaking of Brooklyn, let's not forget the New York Islanders, who found a new home there as well this year, with the move coming in 2015 (if the NHL still exists by then).

3. R.A. Dickey: He won 20 games without an ulnar collateral ligament in his right arm. He threw back-to-back one-hitters. He tossed 32 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings. He was the first-ever knuckleballer to win a Cy Young Award. He climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Any of these things in their own right might have qualified as one of the top stories of the year, but all of them put together? That's quite a tale. Dickey went 20-6 in 2012, with a 2.73 ERA and 1.053 WHIP, while striking out a league-leading 230 batters and only walking 54 in 233 2/3 innings pitched (most in the NL). He also led the NL in shutouts (three) and complete games (five). The intriguing, thoughtful knuckleballer was the third Met to win the Cy Young and the sixth to win 20 games, and when he reached that mark on Sept. 27 in a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, at Citi Field, it was an event worthy of a 1985 Dwight Gooden start. The drawn-out saga of his trade to the Toronto Blue Jays was also headline news, and as Graig Nettles once said of Sparky Lyle, Dickey went from Cy Young to sayonara.

2. Linsanity: When Jeremy Lin stepped onto the court on Feb. 4, 2012, in a win over the New Jersey Nets, until his last game with the Knicks, on March 24 (a win over the Detroit Pistons), it was like a brief, electric, colorful fireworks display in the middle of a cold, dreary, dark winter. The Jeremy Lin era didn't last long, but it was fun while it lasted. Like Dickey, he had storylines trailing him as far as the eye could see: Harvard, Asian, undrafted, humble, seemingly coming out of nowhere, a last resort for the Knicks -- it was a perfect storm forming a spectacular mania not seen around these parts in a long time. And when Lin finished that win against the Nets with 25 points and seven assists Linsanity (and every other pun one could imagine) was born. Two nights later he poured in 28 points with eight assists in a victory over the Utah Jazz, followed by a 23-point, 10-assist game against the Washington Wizards. But could he do that against an elite team? The answer was 'yes,' when he lit up the Los Angeles Lakers for 38 points, as the Knicks won again. On Valentine's Day, in Toronto, he coolly dribbled as the clock wound down, and, with ice in his veins, hit a three-pointer to win the game. Linsanity squared ensued. He was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated two consecutive weeks. And even the couch he slept on in Landry Fields' apartment became famous. The Knicks won seven games in a row once he was inserted into the lineup, but on the court it wasn't all about Lin, as his success was predicated on selfless, team play, hitting the open man, spreading the ball around and playing an exciting brand of all-for-one basketball. The Knicks went 16-10 from that Nets game until his season ended due to a knee injury. Mike D'Antoni resigned, Mike Woodson came aboard and the season ended with the Knicks losing to Miami in the first round of the playoffs. And then, like that, Lin was gone. Off to Houston. As things stand right now for the Knicks, there are no regrets (except for when Lin returned for one night in December and Linsanity arose again, though for the wrong team this time). But Jeremy Lin will never be forgotten.

1. The Giants Win the Super Bowl: If you're the only team in the area to win a championship, then that earns you Top Story of 2012 honors. Championships trump all else, as that's what we're all about in New York (ok, with a little sensationalism thrown in -- see Nos. 2, 3 and 5 above). And the Giants did it in an exhilarating, thrilling fashion to boot. The theme of the year for Tom Coughlin was "Finish." And after standing at 7-7, finish they did, defeating the New York Jets, keyed by Victor Cruz's 99-yard touchdown, and the Dallas Cowboys to sneak into the playoffs. The other theme that cropped up was "Déjà vu," as this Super Bowl run was eerily similar to their previous Super Bowl in 2007-'08. Win three road playoff games? Check. Defeat the Packers in Green Bay? Check. Win the NFC Championship Game on an overtime field goal? Check. Beat the seemingly unbeatable Patriots in the Super Bowl? Check? With an unbelievable, all-time great catch on the winning drive? Check. Eli Manning wins the MVP, outplaying Tom Brady? Check. The game itself was one of the most memorable in Super Bowl history, with Mario Manningham's catch, Eli Manning's throw, Ahmad Bradshaw's accidental, falling-down touchdown, Chase Blackburn's interception, Justin Tuck's two sacks and the final Hail Mary when Bill Belichick's team's prayers went unanswered. The Giants were crowned Super Bowl champions on Feb. 5, 2012, in Indianapolis, and they were New York's Top Story of the Year.

Ok, this is going to be short. And painful. There's not much history between the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens, and what history exists heavily favors the Ravens. There's plenty of history if we count the original Cleveland Browns, the Art Modell-owned franchise that relocated to Baltimore, but that would be cheating, since the Browns are still the Browns, though the Ravens were also sort of the Browns. (Can't the NFL go back and fix things the way they did when they designated the expansion Cleveland team the Browns while re-attaching their history, and do the same thing with Baltimore? If the Cleveland Browns can magically reappear, why can't the Baltimore Colts? By all rights the Baltimore team should be called the Colts, but I guess that ship has sailed. And I digress . . .) The Giants have a 1-2 regular-season record vs. the Ravens along with a nightmarish Super Bowl loss. Here's a recap of each of the games, three blowouts and a nail biter.

The two teams first met in the Ravens' second season of existence, on Sept. 14, 1997, at the Meadowlands. Both teams came into the game with 1-1 records, and it was the only close contest between the two teams, with Baltimore edging out the Giants, 24-23. Former Colts coach Ted Marchibroda was the first coach for the Ravens and the team still featured a few players closely associated with the Browns, like Vinny Testaverde and Ernest Byner, while original Raven Ray Lewis was in his second season. Baltimore finished the year with a 6-9-1 record, while the Giants went 10-5-1 in Jim Fassel's first year on the New York sidelines. Dave Brown (28-for-46, 269 yards, one touchdown, no picks), in his final year with the Giants, and Tiki Barber (64 rushing yards), in his first, led the Giants offense, along with Chris Calloway, who caught eight passes for 79 yards. Testaverde (22-for-35, 223 yards, two touchdowns, one interception), playing his last season for the Ravens/Browns franchise before moving on to the Jets, and Byner (57 rushing yards, five catches for 20 yards), in his swan-song NFL season, led the Ravens. Testaverde hit Derrick Alexander with a 22-yard pass to open up the scoring. The Giants almost tied it in the second quarter on a one-yard rushing touchdown by Barber, but Brad Daluiso missed the extra point (he also missed two field goals in the game). Jay Graham crossed the goal line for the Ravens, while Charles Way caught a one-yard pass from Brown, with the Giants failing on the two-point conversion, making the score 14-12 at halftime. In the second half the Giants took a 23-14 lead on a Tyrone Wheatley one-yard score (with Brown hooking up with Barber for the two-point conversion) and a Daluiso 27-yard field goal, but they couldn't hold on as Testaverde connected with the "other" Michael Jackson on an 11-yard touchdown pass and Matt Stover nailed a 37-yarder for the winning points.

The next time the Giants and Ravens met came in Super Bowl XXXV, on Jan. 28, 2001, at Raymond James Stadium. The Giants had plenty of experience losing NFL Championship Games (11 in all, while winning four), but this was their only Super Bowl loss in five tries. Do we really want to relive the ugliness? When Trent Dilfer completed a 38-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley to give the Ravens a 7-0 lead? When Jesse Armstead's 43-yard interception return for a touchdown was nullified on a dubious holding call on Keith Hamilton? When Stover booted a 47-yard field goal? When the only Giants score -- a 97-yard kickoff return by Ron Dixon -- was sandwiched by two Ravens touchdowns (a Duane Starks 49-yard pick six and a Jermaine Lewis 84-yard kickoff return), all three coming in the span of 36 seconds? When Jamal Lewis and Stover finished off the Giants with a three-yard touchdown run and a 34-yard field goal, respectively, to make the final score 34-7? When Kerry Collins threw four interceptions and had a passer rating of 7.1? When the Giants only gained 152 total yards? When Ray Lewis won the MVP with a five-tackle, four-blocked-pass performance? Do we really want to relive that nightmare? Ok, I guess we just did.

Eli Manning's infamous 0.00 passer rating came in the third meeting, on Dec. 12, 2004, at M&T Bank Stadium, with Baltimore crushing the Giants, 37-14. It was Manning's fourth career start, and he only completed four of 18 passes, threw for 27 yards, with two interceptions and no touchdowns. His counterpart that day, Kyle Boller, tossed four touchdown passes without a pick, going 18-for-34, throwing for 219 yards. In his final appearance as a Giant, Kurt Warner (6-for-9, 127 yards) relieved Manning. The only highlights for the Giants were an Osi Umenyiora 50-yard fumble return for a touchdown and a too-little, too-late Barber one-yard touchdown run. It was Eli's worst-ever game, but two Super Bowl MVPs later, it all worked out in the end (though he looked like he was doing his 2004 impression in last Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons).

The Giants finally defeated the Ravens, on Nov. 16, 2008, at the Meadowlands, by a decisive 30-10 score. The victory put the Giants at 9-1 for the season, but a few weeks later Plaxico Burress did his Barney Fife impression and the season went down in flames. The Ravens fared a bit better, with an 11-5 regular-season mark, and made it to the AFC Championship Game, but fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers. A pair of Brandon Jacobs one-yard rushing touchdowns and a Manning to Darcy Johnson one-yard pass gave the Giants an insurmountable 21-0 lead (it was one of only nine career catches and two touchdowns for the tight end). Baltimore scored the next 10 points when Stover kicked a 38-yard field goal and rookie Joe Flacco connected with Le'Ron McClain on a 10-yard pass, but the Giants put the icing on the cake with an Aaron Ross 50-yard pick six (one of two interceptions for the cornerback) and a Lawrence Tynes 19-yard field goal. The Giants piled up 207 rushing yards, splitting it up three ways, with Ahmad Bradshaw gaining 96 yards, Jacobs 73 and Derrick Ward 41. Manning managed a 73.3 passer rating this time around, going 13-for-23, throwing for 153 yards, with a touchdown and interception.

Jeremy Lin mesmerized a city, and to a certain extent the world, for a month or so last winter, helping to drag the New York Knicks out of the muck they were stuck in and into contention. He became a full-blown sensation and phenomenon along the way, with his exciting brand of team-first basketball. R.A. Dickey also exploded onto the scene, seemingly coming out of nowhere, like Lin, and a smaller, yet passionate mania surrounded the knuckleballer. He wasn't able to lift his team up into a playoff situation the way Lin did, but when he took the mound, his team usually won. But now, both are gone. Letting Lin move on to the Houston Rockets has worked out swimmingly for the Knicks (well, at least so far, but not on Monday night) -- can the same thing happen to the New York Mets?

It's a tough decision to let a fan favorite and drawing card go, especially when the player is just entering the prime of his career. Lin and Dickey are a decade and a half apart in age, but both may have their best years ahead of them (though it will be hard to top 2012 for Dickey). The Knicks' point guard replacements for Lin -- Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni -- have thrived and helped transform the Knicks into one of the top teams in the league, but, let's face it, there was some luck involved. What if Steve Nash and his brittle health came to New York instead of Kidd? Who knew how Prigioni would translate to the NBA? But letting Lin go, and not doling out all that money to keep him, seems to have been the right move.

Can the Mets be so lucky? They received two high-ceilinged, top prospects in Travis d'Arnaud and Noah Syndergaard when they dealt Dickey, but there's surely no such thing as a sure thing. Those two could join Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jon Niese, Ike Davis and David Wright to anchor a young competitive team in the mold of the 1980s Mets or, of course, neither could pan out, and Dickey would have been dealt away for nothing. For every Jesse Orosco, Ron Darling and Sid Fernandez that's come to New York in a trade for prospects, there's an Alex Ochoa, Ryan Thompson and Dan Norman to throw a bucket of cold water over one's hopes for the future. It's a gamble and a crapshoot. But once the Toronto Blue Jays ponied up d'Arnaud and Syndergaard, it was one the Mets had to make.

Lin and Dickey both had something special that fans could relate to. Their storylines and narratives, of seemingly appearing from out of the sky and attaining a high level of success, while being articulate, thoughtful and grounded -- good guys -- were similar. The Knicks' and Mets' situations are and were different, of course, as the Knicks are in a win-now mode and the Mets are attempting to build for the future, but the Mets are crossing their fingers that their blockbuster transaction will be as successful as the Knicks' moves that involved Lin.

Jeremy Lin and R.A. Dickey were both beloved, but fans also love something else, maybe even more than those two favorites -- and that one thing is, of course, winning.

R.A. Dickey spent three productive -- and at times magical -- years with the New York Mets (of course they weren't magical for the Mets, just Dickey). He was a fan favorite, he was the team's best pitcher and he has been one of the most fascinating players the franchise has ever had. And now he's gone, traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. The deal may make loads of sense logically, seeing where the Mets stand talent- and contention-wise, but emotionally, it will leave a hole in Met fans' hearts. He may be gone, but he won't be forgotten. Here are the Top 5 best things about R.A. Dickey.

[ANALYSIS: Mets make out well in Dickey trade]

5. His rags-to-riches journey: Dickey's journey to success has been remarkable, and one that pegs him as the everyman, and not a spoiled prima donna who hasn't had to work for what's he's earned. When he was drafted in 1996 by the Texas Rangers, it was learned that he was mysteriously missing his ulnar collateral ligament in his right arm, which means he shouldn't be able to throw a pitch without pain let alone have a major league career. He made his big-league debut in 2001, and he didn't fare very well. He eventually transformed into a knuckleball pitcher, and in his first game back in the majors, in 2006, he gave up a record-tying six home runs. Two years later, he tied another dubious record, by throwing four wild pitches in one inning. It wasn't until his first season with the Mets, in 2010, that he finally flourished, at the age of 35.

4. He's just flat-out interesting: Dickey's a little more thoughtful, a little more intelligent and a little more honest than the average professional athlete. He doesn't speak in clichés. His sesquipedalian ways are a refreshing change of pace in the field of post-game interviews (ok, I tried hard to find a really long, erudite word such as "sesquipedalian" that Dickey himself might use). He's an avid reader, and has named his bats for the literary swords Orclist the Goblin Cleaver and Hrunting. His humbleness and intentions have been questioned lately by a few members of the media, especially after his comments at the Mets' holiday party last week. But why in the world did the organization choose Dickey, of all players, to attend and participate when he was in such a delicate position and standing with the Mets? And the questions about his contract status came from a reporter who works for SNY, essentially an employee of the Mets. So the Mets' brass was angry he answered the questions? And he did so in an even-tempered, fair way, as well, without any bitterness or harsh words. Conspiracy theorists would say there was a smear campaign going on.

3. He throws a knuckleball: The unique pitch, which he's mastered wonderfully, is as different and captivating as Dickey himself. Old knuckleballers, such as Phil Niekro, came out of the woodwork to comment on and praise Dickey. The knuckleball's unpredictability is just plain fun to watch, especially with Dickey's amazing way of controlling the uncontrollable pitch. When he won the Cy Young Award, he won it for knuckleball pitchers everywhere.

2. He's a good-deed-doer: While many athletes spend their free time committing crimes or tweeting inane idiocies, Dickey climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. And he, of course, did it for charity, raising over $100,000 for an organization called "Bombay Teen Challenge," which helps those in India affected by human trafficking. He also penned his autobiography, confessing that he was sexually abused as a minor, and now he's an outspoken advocate to end that evil.

1. He's damn good: If Dickey weren't any good, then all the other stuff wouldn't mean very much, or at least we may have never learned about it. He's had three seasons where he's been one of the elite pitchers in the National League, with his Cy Young being the icing on the cake and a tangible prize for his production on the mound. Besides winning 20 games and leading the NL in strikeouts, innings pitched, complete games and shutouts, he had a streak of 32.2 consecutive scoreless innings in 2012, along with tossing back-to-back one-hitters. He also threw a one-hitter in 2010, vs. the Philadelphia Phillies, with Cole Hamels getting the lone hit. In his three years with the Mets, Dickey went 39-28, with a 2.95 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. He struck out 468 batters in 616.2 innings (6.8 strikeouts per nine innings) and walked only 150 (2.2 per nine innings), threw eight complete games and four shutouts, and had a 129 ERA+ and 12.1 WAR.

 Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets visit Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks Monday, bring Lin back to New York for the first time. With that in mind, here is a Q&A with Patrick Harrel of SB Nation's The Dream Shake, which covers all things Rockets.

The Houston Rockets come to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks on Monday night, which is, of course, the return of Jeremy Lin. The hysteria and hype of Linsanity has moved down to Texas, as Lin tries to avoid all the distractions that surround him and concentrate on being a basketball player and growing as a young point guard. For the season, he's averaging 11 points per game and 6.1 assists (through Saturday's games), while shooting 39.7% from the floor, which is short of the numbers he put up last year with the Knicks (14.6 points, 6.2 assists, 44.6%). His turnovers are down, though (2.7 per game this year compared to 3.6 last season) and his steals are up (1.8 this year, 1.6 last season). What does Houston think of Lin? Here's a Q&A with Patrick Harrel of SB Nation's The Dream Shake, which covers all things Rockets.

How would you assess Lin's performance so far this season?

Without a doubt, I would say that Lin's play in this young season has been a serious disappointment for the Rockets. Nobody could have reasonably expected Lin to maintain the extreme level of play he displayed in those 25 starts with the Knicks, but Lin's sub-40 shooting percentage, his lack of lift and general lack of aggression have all been huge causes for concern.

Thus far in the year, Lin has shown a couple of things: he has the potential to play at a very high level, but he is not there yet.

Obviously, there are mitigating factors like the fact that he has not yet fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered last March, but to say his performance has been anything but a disappointment would be unreasonable.

How is his chemistry with James Harden and other teammates, and with coach Kevin McHale?

In the early going with the Rockets, it's clear that Lin is very well-respected and well-liked by his teammates. In particular, Lin has appeared to become friends with Chandler Parsons and James Harden. In terms of his relationship with Coach McHale, it's clear that McHale respects and admires Lin's hard work and treats him as a team leader.

On the court, the issue of chemistry is a little foggier. There were serious concerns going into the season about Lin and Harden's ability to coexist on the court, and those fears have been realized in the first quarter of the year. In times where Harden has been off the court, Lin has shown off the superior aggression that got him going last season, but, playing alongside the star shooting guard, Lin has been far too content to stand in the corner and spot up for threes. Unfortunately, this issue is not going away.

What do the Houston fans think of him? Is he meeting expectations?

The discussion of Lin among Houston fans is a quite divisive one. In our very binary world, it seems like many are forced between saying that Lin is Tony Parker 2.0 and saying he's awful. In reality, he's somewhere in the middle, but it seems like Lin, much more so than any other player on the roster, generates a lot of controversy in Houston.

Regardless of the discussion of Lin, there is no doubt that he is not living up to expectations thus far. A point guard who routinely gets pulled for Toney Douglas late in games is not meeting any reasonable expectations.

Has there been any sort of carryover hoopla and hype from Linsanity and his New York days? Or is he just another free-agent signing?

One look at the crowd of media attending the Jeremy Lin press conference after he signed with the Rockets would tell you that Lin was anything but another free-agent signing. The addition of Harden certainly has a something to do with this, but Jeremy Lin has propelled the Rockets into relevance that hasn't been seen in Houston since the Yao Ming-Tracy McGrady era.

With that, unfortunately, comes unnecessary hype and unrealistic expectations. Lin found himself third among Western Conference guards in the All-Star voting, well within striking distance of Chris Paul for a starting spot, and Lin is constantly hounded by various media outlets with questions about his lack of success early in the season. If anyone can handle a crazy situation without losing his head, it's Jeremy Lin, but I'd imagine the pressure has been a burden for him.

Lin's still in the infant stages of his career, but would you say he was worth signing and taking a gamble on?

The debate of whether the decision to sign Lin was the right was is quite interesting. On July 6, after Goran Dragic had agreed with the Phoenix Suns on a four-year pact, the decision was undoubtedly the right one. New York fans know as well as any that a season with Toney Douglas starting at point guard would be an absolute disaster.

However, going back to before Dragic signed with the Suns, when the Rockets were negotiating with both point guards, the decision to sign Lin over Dragic because of a fourth-year player option looks like a bad one. The Rockets signed Lin with the expectation that he was going to be the primary ball handler and scorer, and with that in mind, he probably would have been the better fit with the Rockets as they were built in July. However, after Daryl Morey acquired James Harden a few days before the season started, the equation changed. Dragic is a better off-ball player and can thrive playing alongside a playmaker, while Lin hasn't shown that early on in his career. It's not fair to look back and say that signing Lin over Dragic was the wrong move because Morey could not have anticipated acquiring Harden, but I think if Morey could have done it again, he would have signed Dragic.

Fortunately enough for the Rockets, they can afford to wait for Lin to develop. This year is not about winning any titles, it's about developing young players and figuring out what they have on this roster. Lin has essentially played just a full season of NBA minutes, so the inflated expectations for immediate success were probably unfair. Given that he has shown that ability to play at an elite level for a reasonably extended stretch, the hopes are that he can approach that level of play again.

The New York Giants head down to Georgia on Sunday to take on the Atlanta Falcons. The two teams are deadlocked in the all-time regular-season series, with 10 wins apiece. The one difference is their only postseason meeting, which the Giants, of course, won, in the first round of last season's playoffs. The Falcons entered the NFL in 1966, after the city petitioned both the AFL and NFL for a team, after Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was built. The AFL was all set to grant Atlanta a franchise, when Pete Rozelle swooped in and gave them an NFL team (the AFL then turned to Miami and the Dolphins were born). The Falcons got their name, by the way, from a high school teacher in a name-the-team contest. Here is a little Giants-Falcons history.

The Falcons began their debut season of 1966, by losing their first nine games (their first game in franchise history was played against the Los Angeles Rams). On Nov. 20, at Yankee Stadium, though, they notched their first-ever victory, at the expense of the Giants. One former Giant (running back Ernie Wheelwright) and two future Giants (quarterback Randy Johnson and running back Junior Coffey) played big roles in the Falcons' 27-16 win. Johnson hit Wheelwright with a nine-yard pass to open the scoring. Pete Gogolak got the Giants on the board, with a 24-yard field goal. Johnson then connected with Verne Burke and Wheelwright again for touchdown passes to give Atlanta a 20-3 cushion. Joe Morrison hauled in a three-yard touchdown pass from Giant quarterback Tom Kennedy (in his only NFL season), but the Falcons came right back with a Johnson three-yard touchdown run. Morrison's second touchdown, a 12-yard run, was too little, too late for New York. Johnson (15-for-25, 177 yards, three touchdowns, one interception) was a rookie that year, and spent five seasons with Atlanta before becoming a backup for the Giants for three years in the early '70s. Coffey led the Falcons in rushing that day (and for the season), with 64 yards, while Wheelwright gained 51 yards on the ground while also catching five passes. Former Rams defensive back Norb Hecker was the first Falcons coach, and in two-plus years he put up a 4-26-1 record.

The Giants recorded their first win over the Falcons the third time that the two teams faced each other, on Nov. 14, 1971, in Atlanta. The Giants went 4-10 that season, and this was their last win of the year, which was also Fran Tarkenton's final win as a Giant. His quarterback counterpart that afternoon was Bob Berry, who was his former and future backup with the Minnesota Vikings, and the Falcons' coach was Norm Van Brocklin, who clashed with Tarkenton when he was the coach of the Vikings, which led to both men's departure from Minnesota. The Falcons scored first in the game, on a Harmon Wages two-yard run, but Tarkenton connected with Bob Tucker on a 10-yard touchdown pass to tie things up. Atlanta kicker Bill Bell booted a 17-yard field goal and Berry hit Jim Mitchell with a 23-yard pass to give the Falcons a 17-7 lead. But Giant running back Bobby Duhon rushed for a score and Tarkenton ran one in himself for the winning points in the fourth quarter, to give the Giants a 21-17 victory. The Giants would lose their final five games of the season, though, and the Norm Snead era would follow.

After not qualifying for the playoffs since losing the NFL Championship Game in 1963, the Giants finally returned to the postseason in 1981, and one of their nine wins that season came against the Falcons. The 27-24 victory was their fifth win of the year and first of three overtime games they would play (losing to the Redskins and beating the Cowboys in the last game of the year). Phil Simms faced Steve Bartkowski and both would toss two touchdown passes, with Giant defensive back Mike Dennis, returning a fumble, and Lynn Cain of the Falcons scoring the other two touchdowns. Mike Luckhurst kicked a 29-yard field goal for Atlanta, while Joe Danelo (who led the league in field-goal attempts that year, with 38 -- making 24 of them) booted a 27-yarder and a 40-yarder in overtime to win it. Johnny Perkins had a big day for the Giants, with six catches for 126 yards, one touchdown and an 80-yard reception. New York would defeat the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs but lose to the 49ers the following week. The Falcons coach that season was Leeman Bennett, who would go on to coach the Buccaneers in 1985 and '86 to a 4-28 record, which is tied with Rich Kotite of the Jets for the worst coaching winning percentage of all-time.

The season that Atlanta went to their one and only Super Bowl, 1998, they defeated the Giants along the way, 34-20, on Oct. 11 at the Meadowlands. It was a close game at halftime, with the Falcons holding a slim 14-13 lead, but they blew it open with 20 straight points, before Kent Graham scored a five-yard rushing touchdown for the Giants. He and Danny Kanell split time in that game and were sacked a total of six times. Falcon Jamal Anderson rushed for 110 yards, while Chris Chandler threw a pair of touchdown passes without a pick. The Falcons were led by former Giants coach Dan Reeves, who lost to his other old team, the Denver Broncos, in the Super Bowl.

The biggest blowout in the series came in last season's playoff game, when the Giants won 24-2 at MetLife Stadium, on Jan. 8, 2012. The Falcons scored for the first and last time when Eli Manning was penalized for intentional grounding while in the end zone, giving Atlanta their two points. Manning (23-for-32, 277 yards) hit Hakeem Nicks (six catches, 115 yards) twice with touchdown passes, one of four yards and the other for 72. Mario Manningham also scored a touchdown, and Lawrence Tynes kicked a 22-yard field goal. The discrepancy in rushing yards told a big story, as the Giants gained 172 yards, while the Falcons were held to 64, with Michael Turner only running for 41. The Giants also had a pair of 21-point wins over Atlanta, with one coming in 1979 (24-3, which was Simms' sixth career start and fifth win) and the other in 2007 (31-10).

A 27-7 Falcons win on Nov. 9, 2003, at the Meadowlands, was the largest margin of victory for Atlanta in the series. The Falcons defeated the Cowboys on opening day that season, then lost their next seven games before beating the Giants, and finished with a 5-11 record. New York had topped the Jets in overtime in the previous week to give them a 4-4 record, but they lost the remainder of their games to finish at 4-12, which put an end to the Jim Fassel era. Warrick Dunn gained 178 rushing yards in the game, with a touchdown, while Kurt Kittner only completed nine of 23 passes for 65 yards. Kerry Collins threw for 202 yards, with two interceptions, and the only touchdown for the Giants was scored by Dorsey Levens, one of three he would tally in his one year with New York. Tiki Barber ran for 120 yards in that game.

The Giants have won the last four times they've faced the Falcons: A 2006 27-14 win (Barber gained 185 yards, while Dunn piled up 146), the 2007 blowout, a 2009 34-31 victory and last season's first-round playoff win.

The Giants' record vs. the Falcons by the decade: 1960s: 0-2; 1970s: 2-3; 1980s: 4-1; 1990s: 0-1; 2000s: 4-3; 2010s: 1-0.

The New York Yankees are taking a very un-George Steinbrenner course these days. Where is the spending spree? Where is the winning at all costs? Where is the angry demand for a World Champion after the failures of the past three seasons? And "Where's my calzone?!" while we're at it. With all the "George Steinbrenner wouldn't put up with this" comments being thrown around with the new frugal way his son, Hal, is doing business -- outbid by the Pittsburgh Pirates for Russell Martin? -- has everyone forgotten that that's how the Yankees got into the state they're in? By doing it the George Steinbrenner way.

The two lengthy eras that featured multiple Yankee World Series titles followed a pair of George Steinbrenner suspensions. And that wasn't just a coincidence. Gabe Paul and Gene Michael were the masterminds behind the '70s and '90s teams, by building from within while making wise baseball trades, with some free agents sprinkled in. Sure, there was a Big Stein move here and there -- get me Catfish Hunter! and Reggie Jackson! -- but they mainly won despite their owner, not because of him. When Steinbrenner was in charge, truly in charge, things tended to go badly. Yes, spending more than everyone else gives you a better chance of winning, but it can also hamstring your team with bad contracts for years to come, hindering your ability to upgrade your roster. Winning at all costs may at times actually cost your team from winning.

Yes, Alex Rodriguez helped the Yankees win a World Series in 2009, but is a contract like his worth it? Could they have won with a cheaper third-base option? Maybe. Maybe not. But now look what's happened. They need to replace him and pay him at the same time. Maybe some fiscal sanity will do the team good in the long run. Let the Los Angeles Dodgers buy up every player that comes sniffing around looking for $100 million. Stand back and see how that works out for them.

Do we need another lecture from George Costanza on how George Steinbrenner turned a sacred public trust into a laughingstock with his impatience and outrageous spending habits? Even Tony Banta, in an episode of Taxi, wanted to have George Steinbrenner declared mentally unfit to run the Yankees. And now we want to go back to that? Knee-jerk spending because the Arizona Diamondbacks beat them to Eric Chavez? Of course, it would be nice if the Yankees had a catcher in waiting to replace Martin or maybe if Eduardo Nunez could actually field in a competent manner so he could temporarily fill in at third. But do the Yankees really need an All-Star at every position?

Kevin Youkilis is a former All-Star (former being the emphasized word here), but Brian Cashman again went with a reasonable team-friendly one-year deal in signing the third baseman to replace A-Rod. There was no panic, no overspending, as the transaction fit right in with the other moves the team has made this winter, in bringing back Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera and Hiroki Kuroda, all for one year, with the intention of winning in 2013 while getting under the $189 million magic number in 2014.

With one World Series title in 12 years, outspending every other team hasn't really been working. They have the money, so they should spend it, but it should be spent wisely and prudently, not emotionally or just because they can. If George Steinbrenner were still alive, he may have scooped up Josh Hamilton by now, overspent to keep Martin and Chavez on multiyear deals, along with making other big-name, big-splash acquisitions, but that rarely worked in the past -- so why go back to that now?

Tough love
So, it's my awesome mum's 50th tomorrow, and I thought i'd dedicate today's strip to her. I've written about how utterly rad she is before, and about our epic battles. This time, I'm trying to explain that my mother is not responsible for my (many) shortcomings. Enjoy!

The Vernon Police Department is looking for a woman who stabbed another female with a small screw driver during an attempted robbery at the Tri-City Plaza on Talcottville Road Tuesday night.
According to police, an unidentified woman was returning to her car, which was parked between Staples and Dress Barn around 9 p.m.
She told police that a woman, who was accompanied by a man, struck her in the face and stabbed her.
After the attack, the suspects fled the scene without getting any money, police said.
Police said the suspects drove off in a late 90s black Honda Civic with a loud exhaust and possibly a lowered suspension.
Investigators believe the vehicle was headed toward Interstate 84.
The victim was treated at the scene and was not taken to a hospital.
The attempted robbery and assault remains under investigation by the Vernon Police Department.
Shoppers on Friday were "very nervous" about the attack and attempted robbery.
"That's the reality unfortunately," said Deana Miranda.
Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call police at 860-872-9126. All tips will be kept confidential.

I sent a letter to the graundian in response to the "50 undersigned". I doubt it will get published, but here it is:
Dear Sir,
Am I the only one to see the flaw in the argument presented by the 50 undersigned. I can understand Professor Dawkins, since it has his style, but the rest simply could not have read it through. Let us begin with the last sentence. When we look at the last sentence in the context of the letter as a whole, one can only assume a cretin had the idea of including this idea. On the one hand we have criticism of the church's influence world-wide, whilst on the other a statement to the effect of the importance of the church in the world. This is exactly the type of argument forwarded by Professor Dawkins.
But let me take their points one by one. Opposing the distribution of condoms and increasing the size of families in poor countries. Poor countries normally have a higher infant mortality rate and a male is normally more highly prized. Having a large family does not make these countries poorer. The West normally does that. The Common Agricultural Policy has a far greater affect in that regard. Moreover, those lands that are overpopulated do not tend to be catholic by nature. As for the spread of Aids this is such a falsehood. The church teaches that sex is between a man and a wife - you may be married until death parts you. Follow this rule and Aids does not spread. Those who are of a more promiscuous nature do not follow the Catholic Church's teaching on marriage - why should they on condom use? The United Nations has given millions upon millions to South Africa in its fight against Aids and there have been some initiatives, including the distribution of condoms. These condoms were in a plastic bag with the instructions stapled to the bag and THROUGH the condom. I ask you, which is better - the United Nations initiative or Catholic doctrine. Not only that traditional healers in South Africa even today teach that the cure for Aids is sex with a virgin. You don't believe me - go ask Peter Hain - he will tell you.
I have no clue what is the problem with segregated education. It is well known that girls are a little more advanced than boys and act in a more mature manner during puberty. Maybe the complaint is that we seek to segregate Catholics from non-catholics in education. One of our roles is to make others christians. Imagine you are on top of a table trying to pull people on to it and therefore christianity. It is far easier for them to pull you off the table. In my life there is one faith, one baptism, one church - this is why my boys go to a catholic school. Other parents are free to choose what they want for their own children. In the same way, I will choose a gymnasium that offers Greek and Latin when they are older.
Abortion is a terrible situation and I can sympathise with those faced with such a decision. My belief is that life starts at conception and the church's teaching is based on this position. There are many desperate situations where a woman might be faced with this dilemma, but the church's position is clear - all life is sacred. In many ways we all share the same view. To kill a woman is bad - but do we not consider it worse to kill a pregnant woman? Indeed, pregnancy used to be grounds for a reprieve when Britain still executed criminals.
Homosexual relationships are not allowed in christianity. Sex belongs in a marriage and a marriage is between a man and a woman. All else is forbidden fruit. Adam ate of the fruit. In the same way as we are not to to live with a woman outside marriage, these relationships are not allowed. I do not know about the teaching on transgender, but it is quite a new area of life and the church is conservative - so this is one area that perhaps needs time.
Child abuse. I would point out that children attract child abusers, not the catholic church. In the past police officers were accorded the same weight as catholic priests i.e. they could not lie. The priest would also have many people who know him who simply would not believe any allegation of this nature. There are abusers in all walks of life. Churches of all denominations will attract abusers simply because of the trust we put in our fellow believers. The so called cover up is actually biblical. This sort of thing and others (like stealing for example)are meant to be dealt with in-house and quietly so as not to discourage people from becoming christians. This is in the bible - it is not a papist teaching. The policy here has not worked. The second problem, I think, lies in forgiveness. Yes we forgive. You will find that every christian church will accept convicted child abusers among their number. We have to love the sinner - and yes hate the sin.
The fact that the Holy See does not involve itself with international agreements on Human Rights is absolutely irrelevant. The USA - our most important ally is also guilty. The Church could be the biggest authority on human rights and yet these people would oppose the Pope's State visit because it is not signatory to international agreements?
In all, the 50 really meant "We the undersigned oppose the state visit because we are atheists and/or misocatholics"
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Bugden

The Monthly Rubdown: Three Little Pigs All-Natural Sauce
Posted by Jason on July 30, 2010
As we round out our week long rendition of The Monthly Rubdown, you didn't really think we'd showcase a line of all-natural seasonings without offering up a selection of sauces to go with it? Lucky for us, Three Little Pigs also have a complimentary line of all-natural BBQ sauces to pair with their tasty all-natural seasonings. If you're a fan of their ever-popular Competition Sauce, then you'll be happy to learn that each of these all-natural sauces were derived from that very recipe.
The Monthly Rubdown: Three Little Pigs BBQ
Posted by Jason on August 13, 2009
With your Labor Day BBQ right around the corner it's only fitting that we hit you with another round of The Monthly Rubdown…only this time it gets a little saucy. Since we're getting into the habit of featuring the biggest and baddest competition barbecue products on the market, we figured that it's time to bring out the sauce from one of the winningest teams in competition history. In fact, this sauce helped win the American Royal Barbecue contest an astounding 7 years in a row!!!

Does this ring a bell for anyone else? As of two years ago or thereabouts, one of the arguments that always, always came up about Kevin Love was that his offensive game underneath was too labored, so that his shot got blocked a lot. This was put forward as a fundamental flaw marring Love's potential, or I think it'd be fair to say so anyway.
In November, 2010 I put up a FanPost about this, comparing Love to the rest of the Wolves' roster. (Despite the perception, Anthony Tolliver, Corey Brewer, and Darko Milicic all were blocked more often than Kevin Love at the time. Nobody routinely bemoaned Corey Brewer's being stuffed; we lionized his dunks over defenders, mostly, when we noticed that side of his game.)
Love has since emerged as a first-tier NBA scorer. Does that mean he's fixed his tendency to get his shot swatted? What has changed over time?
Love's BLK% – the percentage of his own attempts that get blocked – over his career, from HoopData.com:
08-09: 10.8%
09-10: 9.4%
10-11: 9.4%
11-12: 6.0%
The estimable 82games also gives us break-outs of the share of each player's shots blocked on different types of attempts. Those same years of Love's career:
08-09: Jump 3%, Close 21%, Dunk 3%, Tips 0%, "Inside" (an aggregate number) 17%.
09-10: Jump 5%, Close 18%, Dunk 6%, Tips 0%, Inside 14%.
10-11: Jump 7%, Close 15%, Dunk 12%, Tips 0%, Inside 13%.
11-12: Jump 4%, Close 13%, Dunk 6%, Tips 2%, Inside 10%.
Love's basic shot distributions over time, again from 82games:
08-09: Jump 39%, Close 48%, Dunk 6%, Tips 7%
09-10: Jump 52%, Close 37%, Dunk 3%, Tips 8%
10-11: Jump 56%, Close 35%, Dunk 3%, Tips 7%
11-12: Jump 61%, Close 29%, Dunk 4%, Tips 7%
It seems pretty safe to say that Kevin Love has been given more leeway to take outside shots as he's established his NBA jump shot. However, he's also trimming the percentages of his shots that get blocked – including inside, under the basket.
Smart player. We can probably put the old argument to bed, now, for real. Its implications for judging other young players' potential – how undercut by this development?
Now that Nikola Pekovic has learned to count to three, will he enhance his (deserved) reputation for cunning under the basket by addressing this area of his own game? Blocked percentages:10-11: 12.9% overall [19% of Jump shots, 13% of "close" shots, 7% of dunks.]
11-12: 14.7% overall [26% of Jump shots, 13% of "close" shots, 4% of dunks.]
Both of Pekovic's NBA seasons have featured his being blocked more than Love ever did. I don't recall many lamentations about how blockable Pek's game is, underneath. Why not?

My brother, cousin and I have a flight arriving Thursday evening (in time to catch the game at a bar probably) and that's pretty much it (well, we also have our aunt's house to stay in, so that is nice).
What are our best ticket options? I found some online that would require us to pay around $320 each for Friday and Saturday tickets which seemed reasonable. But I'd be pretty sad if we could get them for half that by waiting until day of.
Advice? Free tickets to give me?

Comma in Enum() value
4 September 2012 at 8:31pm Last edited: 10 January 2013 12:01am
Hi all,
I have a list of values for my Enum() field which has an option containing a comma. Unfortunately, due to accuracy of information on the site, I do not have the option to re-word this option.
Can anyone tell me how to escape commas in the Enum() values?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: This is for Silverstripe 2.4.7
Re: Comma in Enum() value
6 September 2012 at 11:23pm
Hi, welcome to the forums,
I've never tried this, but you should be able to use an array of values instead of a comma separated list. So maybe you can sneak in the comma that way...
Re: Comma in Enum() value
6 September 2012 at 11:31pm
Hmmm, I did not know that. I'll give it a shot, thank you!

@martimiz & @Spambanjo
would be very interested if this is possible - I asked and Willr said it wasn't a while back...
Re: Comma in Enum() value
8 September 2012 at 5:02am
I looked at the Enum code in 3.0 - it explodes the list to an array, unless it is already an array. So that should be ok. Don't really know what happens with the array when the field is created. Hence the slight hesitation. Easily testable though...

You can do something like "Enum(array('First Value', 'Second Value'))"
Re: Comma in Enum() value
11 September 2012 at 8:58pm
Hi, sorry for my lack of input on this thread, I've been doing a different job and haven't had time to test this yet. I will reply as soon as I have a chance to test this
I also apologise if this thread is in the wrong place, but this was actually a question for Silverstripe 2.4
Re: Comma in Enum() value
11 September 2012 at 10:36pm Last edited: 11 September 2012 10:38pm
Code for 2.4.7 looks about the same, so that should work as well...
And sure, this is the right place, there are no separate forums for 3.0 or 2.4. This can be confusing, because of the major differences in both versions, so people: please mention your version. (just taking the opportunity to mention this )

Amitabh Bachchan helped in the restoration work Charlie Chaplin's THE FLOOR WALKER by providing financial support. It will be showcased at the 15th edition of the Mumbai Film Festival starting Oct 17. This fest is being presented by Reliance Entertainment and is organised by the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI).
Ramesh Sippy, one of the trustees of the Mumbai Film Festival said, "There is a special section of restored films being shown at the festival. One of the films has been restored by none other than Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. The film is called FLOOR WALKER by Charlie Chaplin. If Mr. Bachchan has taken the trouble to restore it, then it must be classic and a masterpiece."
"The film is titled 'Floor Walker' by Charlie Chaplin. Mr. Bachchan funded the restoration work and this shows his love for cinema. If he has taken the trouble to restore the film, then it must be a classic and a masterpiece," added the filmmaker who made the cult film "Sholay" with Amitabh and Dharmendra.
The Chairman of the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI), Shyam Benegal said, "Amitabh Bachchan helped in sponsoring the restoration process. He wanted to be a part of the festival in some way and this was his way of showing support. He has put up the funds to help restore this film which will be presented to all."

Cook County - Hundreds of pine trees have towered over Reed Bingham for more than 25 years but soon, they'll be cut down. "It will benefit the wildlife, it will benefit the park, and it will benefit the people who come out to the park," said Chet Powell, Park Ranger.
These trees are slash pines, but in a few months, they'll be replaced with more environmentally friendly trees, known as long leaf pines. "One of the things we know now is that certain animals depend on long leaf pines, gopher tortoises, quail, red cockaded woodpeckers which are really rare, and we're hoping this will bring some of those to the park," said Powell.
The long leaf pine project is a very tedious one, since this area is home to hundreds of endangered gopher tortoises. "We released 179 this year, and we want to be sure when we're working in this area we don't impact the gopher tortoise holes," said Powell.
Workers from the Georgia Forestry Commission are plowing fire breaks so the woods can be burned. This will make all of the habitats visible and protect them when it comes time to plant the new trees. "The sand from the gopher holes will be like neon signs standing out in the black backgrounds," said Powell.
The replanting is a long term project that will likely take about a year, but one that will keep Reed Bingham growing for decades to come.

RE: Millicent A Carmichael
That goes to show you, some people put incorrect info on find a grave... if the person had as much info on Millie Carmichael they would have known her mother' maiden name. I'm not sure the stone' shown on find a grave or correct parents for Millie Carmichael. People do put incorrect info on find a grave.
Millie nor her husband Barzilla were not listed on find a grave in this cemetery when I listed them. There is some way a person can change the date on when a memorial was posted to find a grave. A few members have run into this before and contacted Find A Grave, who delete the person' memorial who changed her date on the memorial. I ran a paper copy of the Kendall Springs cemetery when I listed Milly and Barzilla...
Barzilla did not died in Menifee Co, KY. He and his family had moved to Bath Co, between 1880, and the time of his death... he is listed in the Bath Co, History as living near Olympia, Bath Co, KY.
My daughter descents from Barzilla and Millie.
Thank you and God Bless

Millicent A Carmichael
You requested I link Millie Carmichael to her parents. I am sure Millicent Marshall Carmichael' mother was Nancy Waggoner, not Nancy West as listed on Nancy Marshall memorial. I base this on 1. info provide by Millie' son George Washington Carmichael and passed down to his daughter Emily Jane 1878-1960. 2. Death certificate of Millie Marshall Carmichael. 3. the middle name of the son of William & Nancy Marshall, Joseph Waggoner Marshall.
I am more than happy to link family members, if I am sure I am linking one of my memorial to a memorial with correct info.
So many memorial listed on find a grave or incorrect. Maiden names are incorrect, birth, death dates incorrect, many people are listed in cemeteries with a birth and death date without proof as to where the person is buried, or correct birth or death date.
I will link Millie to her father. If you can provide me with proof on Nancy West Marshall as the correct name for her mother, I will then link Millie.
Thank you for your work on find a grave.
God Bless

Smith Cemetery (Rts 755 & 611)
You are welcome. The cemetery I photographed was the "Smith Cemetery (Rts 755 & 611)" as it is known in Find A Grave. I photographed all markers in that cemetery. The GPS Location listed in Find A Grave is accurate and if you copy the coordinates to Google Earth you can get a good picture of its location in relation to the nearest roads.
There is a Charles Smith Cemetery in Carroll County listed in Find A Grave, but I don't know where it is.

Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Todd Frazier's RBI double in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday to wrap-up a four-game set from Great American Ball Park.
Tyler Thornburg (3-1) struck out Joey Votto and got Brandon Phillips to pop out to first baseman Lyle Overbay for the first two outs of the 10th.
Thornburg then walked Chris Heisey on four pitches and Frazier followed by pulling a 2-0 offering into the left-field corner. Heisey raced around the bags and slid into home safely as Scooter Gennett's relay throw was off line.
Prior to the series, the Brewers had just two road losses before Cincinnati took three of four.
Sam LeCure (1-1), who turned 30 on Sunday, was credited with the win after working around a leadoff double in the top half of the 10th to keep the game tied.
Cincinnati starter Alfredo Simon allowed three runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings of work in the no-decision. Simon, who replaced an injured Mat Latos in the Reds' rotation, has a quality start in each of his six outings.
Frazier finished with two RBI, while Brandon Phillips and Brayan Pena each delivered solo homers in the win.
Khris Davis and Gennett added solo homers for Milwaukee, which saw starter Kyle Lohse hurl 6 1/3 innings, surrendering two runs on eight hits with two strikeouts.
Gennett got the Brewers on the board early in the first with a blast over the right-field wall.
Carlos Gomez doubled with one out in the third and Jonathan Lucroy plated him two batters later with a single to center that gave the Brewers a 2-0 lead.
Pena cut the deficit in half in the home portion of the inning with a moonshot down the right-field line.
Each team plated a run in the fourth, with Davis driving one into the seats and Frazier countering with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning.
Phillips crushed a Brandon Kintzler offering to center that tied the game at 3-3. The homer was Phillips' second of the season and his first since April 5 against the Mets.
