After the recent 'opportunities camp' i think it is appropriate to have a look at the rest of our receiving core that were given an opportunity to be noticed on Friday. Gaffney, Royal and Lloyd were given the day off so that the second year players and rookies were given the chance to step up. What can these relatively unknown receivers bring to our team? In this post i will take a look at two second year players that we have seen next to nothing from, McKinley and Willis and also give a breakdown of the UDFA class that is on our roster.
It is probably also sensible to discuss, as i did in Part 1 of this series, the likely hood of these guys making the final cut to the 53, or failing that being placed on the practise squad for a year so they can learn their craft. I suggested that Gaffney, Royal, Thomas, Decker and Lloyd would be the main core of our receiving squad this year and that Stokley would be in competition with McKinley and Willis for the last spot on the roster. I leant towards favouring McKinley for the spot and i will explain why more fully in this post.
However, there was also another possibility that i only briefly touched on in the last post, and that is that Thomas progresses faster than i expected and he is able to learn his roles quickly and become the main deep threat on our roster. If that is the case then, and only then, would it bring Lloyd's position on the roster into question. As i said in the last post, with Josh trying to emphasise the vertical aspect of our offense this off season and it becoming a more frequently called aspect on game day, having deep threat players on the roster becomes invaluable. While Thomas was out Lloyd was that deep threat and Thomas has a lot of work to do before McDaniels even considers taking Lloyd out of the equation. Of course that is all just my opinion so take what you will from it.
Before we go any further though, i think it is wise to familiarise ourselves with the current roster rules, if i may direct you to KaptainKirk's detailed break down here, and also this overview of the practise squad rules. They are important to understand because we will see some of these players be moved to the PUP list, e.g. any one with injuries (Stoley may be an obvious option if his injury needs more time to heal.), or signed to the practise squad if they are eligible.
Thanks to DizzeeBronc who replied in part one to my question about McKinley and Willis being considered for the practise squad.
Practice Squad Eligibility
According to league policy, only certain types of players are allowed to sign to the practice squad. Players cannot have played more than nine regular season games or been on the active roster for an entire year, nor can players be allowed to spend more than two seasons on the same team's squad unless that team's active roster never dips below 53 players.
According to denverbroncos.com, McKinley only played in eight games with no starts. He was also placed on IR on Dec. 28, so he was not on the active roster for the final game. Based on the league policy highlighted above, I believe that McKinley does qualify for the practice squad. This is just my interpretation, though, so take it for what it is.
However what was also pointed out in the replies was that the player would have to be cut before being signed to the PS and at that point any team could sign the player to their active roster. The overall opinion seemed to be that McKinley would never make it to the PS, but, i believe Willis may stand more of a chance so it at least give us another option in case of injuries later in the season.
Anyway, without further ado, part 2.
Kenny McKinley
via media.sacbee.com
McKINLEY AT A GLANCE:
- A wide receiver who played 47 games (41 starts) and accounted for 207 receptions for 2,781 yards (both school records) and 19 touchdowns in his four-year career with the Gamecocks.
- Played with several starting quarterbacks as University of South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier called him best receiver he has ever coached.
- His 207 receptions placed third in Southeastern Conference annals, becoming just the fifth SEC player to amass more than 200 catches in a career.
- Earned Third-Team All-America honors by The NFL Draft Report and honorable mention from College Football News in 2007 as his 6.4 receptions and 80.7 receving yards per game led the SEC.
- Received All-County honors as a junior and senior at South Cobb High School in Mableton, Ga.
- Selected by the Broncos in the fifth round (141st overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft.
QUICKLY: McKinley, who was selected by the Broncos in the fifth round (141st overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft from the University of South Carolina, played in eight games (0 starts) on special teams and finished third on the club in both punt return (32) and kickoff return (158) yardage.
2009: Recorded the first touches of his career with two kickoff returns (49 yds., 24.5 avg.) vs. Dal. (10/4)... Recorded a special-teams tackle vs. Pit. (11/9)... Injured his knee at Phi. (12/27) and was placed on injured reserve on Dec. 28.
(Yes i know more highlights, you either love them or you hate them.. guess which one i am? Oh and sorry about the hiphop firstfan, finding country and western synced highlights is pretty tough.. lol)
As you can see in the highlight video he has quick feet, sure hands, is a very good route runner and is dangerous in space (Not outer-space.. duh! Only the mighty Zoltan is dangerous there..). That all sounds great, but what are his drawbacks? Well he is a bit skinny and may need to or may have gain/ed a bit more bulk to withstand the punishment of the NFL, as demonstrated by him getting injured in December last year.
Here is what MHR's Jeremy Bolander had to said when we drafted him last year in April:
Pros: Good initial quickness off the snap. Not a real physical player, but uses his hands and lateral quickness well to get a clean release off the line of scrimmage. Savvy route-runner. Good short-area burst and is a cognizant route-runner. Varies his speed and utilizes his good body control to generate separation against tight coverage. Reliable hands for the reception. Strong hands to snatch the ball out of the air. Good body control to contort in space and make the difficult reception. Knows where the sticks and sidelines are. Can take a pop and hang on. Wastes no time getting upfield after the reception. Good vision in the open field and can generate positive yards after the reception.
Cons: Lanky, almost skinny build that could use additional mass, but not at the expense of losing speed, another area of concern. Lacks the straight-line speed to challenge deep or to break away after a short or intermediate reception. Can be caught from behind. Characterized as a tough player, but can be intimidated with a good pop early. Can get alligator arms going over the middle.
In Emmett Smith's tales from the sunnyside series, he suggests that,
Denver's depth at receiver is one concussion away from needing a new slot receiver. Since many studies show that each succeeding concussion is more easily induced, Brandon Stokley's time with the Broncos could be brief. Given the magic that Stokes has wrought over the years, a best-case scenario would have Stokley lasting for another two or so years while mentoring and training McKinley as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
But If Royal and presumably Decker playing the slot position what role would McKinley Play? My thoughts on this subject are that because McDaniels has repeatedly said that he wants our receiving core to be able to play all positions and that they will move around a lot i can see McKinley playing a similar but smaller role to Gaffney and if, god forbid, Gaff got injured McKinley would come in in his place. Although in some of the 4 WR sets McKinley could come in in the slot as another weapon if he could create a good mismatch on the field. He also has the speed (4.40 40 time) to be a good deep threat as well which adds another reason to think he might be on the roster this year.
McDaniels said:
I think the guys we have out there competing right now - we have some different players who haven't played a lot - Kenny McKinley, who played a lot on special teams last year and Matt Willis. Both of those two players are two of our fastest players on the team and add a different element to us
So as well as all his qualities as a receiver, he also has potential in the returns game? YUP!
As McDaniels said the # 5-6 need to be able to contribute in the kicking game to make it make sense for them to be on the roster because they will get limited action at WR, McKinley certainly fits that description. Even though he had a couple of hiccups in the return game last year, i think it will be a totally different story this year, he will be more confident and more comfortable in his shoes, and with the additions of Cox and Squid Thomson and the guys already on the roster, Royal, Arrington and Zho Smith, the competition for return duties should help them all improve. I could see McKinley as one of the main contributors their because the other guys may have more responsibilities elsewhere. Again just my opinion, which coincidentally was confirmed by the practise blog on DB.com.. "Kenny McKinley, Cox, Smith and Syd'Quan Thompson took turns returning kicks, in that order."
The blog also mentions that McKinley was definitely taking his 'opportunity' in camp on friday.
Speaking of the red zone, when the offense and defense squared off in 7-on-7s near the goal line, Quinn and Tebow got their revenge. First it was Quinn who completed his first three passes, the third of which was a touchdown to Kenny McKinley.
The other second year guy is Matthew Willis, he was on the practise squad until week 17 last season but he didn't see much action in that game so we know little about the guy.
- A second-year wide receiver who spent the final week of the 2008 season on Denver's practice squad after a brief stint on Baltimore's practice squad early in the year.
- Saw time in five games for the Ravens as a rookie in 2007, totaling one tackle on special teams along with an 11-yard reception.
- Began his rookie season on the Ravens' practice squad in 2007 before seeing time in five of the club's final seven games that year.
- Played two seasons of football at UCLA after competing on its track team and finished his Bruins career with 24 receptions for 248 yards (10.3 avg.) with three touchdowns in 21 games (3 starts).
- Joined the Broncos as a practice-squad signee on Dec. 23, 2008.
- Entered the NFL with Baltimore as a college free agent on May 4, 2007.
Quickly: Willis played in one game (1 start) after spending the first 16 weeks of the regular season on Denver's practice squad, he recorded one special-teams tackle in that contest.
DB.com recently put up an introductory post on him in which he does a quick interview as well here are a couple of highlights.
You were on the practice squad for every game in 2009 -- until the last one. What was that feeling like, getting on the field and in the starting lineup?
"It was unexpected. I knew we had a four-wides package and if we were going to run it, that's where I was going to be on the offense. To have it be called as the first play -- I wasn't expecting it. I was like, 'Four wides? OK.' Then to start the game, it was a good experience to get my first start. It was great."
How would you describe being on the practice squad?
"It's rough, because you're sort of the legs. You do all the running. You might play offense if a guy is hurt or can't practice, then go play show-team offense, then go to special teams. So you're moving and running around, so it's hard, but it just makes you better. You fight through it and you understand that that's what you have to do to get to where you want to be."
Do you feel being able to contribute on special teams gives you an edge?
"I don't know if it's an edge, but if that's my role on the team, special teams and offense, then that's what it is. Special teams adds value to me as a player. I can do special teams, I can return kicks, cover kicks, and as they say, the more you can do, the more you can do."
Have you set goals for yourself?
"Absolutely. Short-term goals, long-term goals, and being on the roster opening day is one of the big ones. That's sort of my focus. Right now it's an everyday kind of thing, but when camp rolls around, that's my big goal -- being on the roster."
Coach McDaniels said you and Kenny McKinley are two of the fastest players on the team. Would you agree with that assessment?
"I like to think I'm faster than Kenny. With my track background, my track coach always said that whatever sport you're going to play, you're going to have to run, jump or throw something. I run now."
Could you take Kenny in a race?
"We'll save it for one day. Maybe we'll have a race."
Unfortunately i don't seem to be able to find any highlights of this guy in action, i know, i know, i have let you guys down.. do you think HaraKiri (Seppuku) is an acceptable form of redemption.. haha.
I'm not sure i can see a place on the 53 man roster for Willis, unless both Stokley and Lloyd get cut, which i find unlikely. It is more more plausible to me that he has another season on the practise squad, of course it would be not as good for him but it might mean we wouldn't need to look to the draft or free agency for WR depth next season, which could free up resources for other positions. I do definitely look forward to seeing what he can do in camp too see if his talk of making it to the final roster could be something he could realise, his other problem is that he has another 4 UDFA guys hot on his heals.
The first of them that i want to look at is Alrick Arnett.
• POSITION: Wide Receiver
• COLLEGE: West Virginia
Arnett was a two-year starter at West Virginia, totaling 78 receptions for 1,052 yards with nine touchdowns for the Mountaineers, after competing at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona in 2006 and Butler Community College in Kansas in 2005.
After redshirting at West Virginia in 2007 due to a thumb injury, he led the team in receiving yards as a junior in 2008 and ranked second on the team in both receptions and receiving yards and tied for the team high in receiving touchdowns as a senior in 2009.
One handed catches, plenty of deep touchdowns, not afraid of going over the middle, tall, fast, good hands. I like it! Oh AND he is used to being thrown to by a left hander.. anyone see where i'm going with that one.. lol.
Here is a scouting report.
2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Alric Arnett, WR, West VirginiaAlric Arnett has not had a long career in Morgantown with the Mountaineers of West Virginia, but it has been a relatively productive one.
During 2005 and 2006, Arnett was playing receiver at a couple of junior colleges. In 2007 he sat out the season due to a thumb injury. In 2008, Arnett finally got his chance to hit the big stage. He started all 13 games that year and, while he was not the team's leader in receptions, he was the big play threat. On the year, he ended up with 35 catches for 466 yards and six touchdowns. That is an average of 13.3 yards per catch.
Through ten games of the 2009 campaign, the numbers are pretty similar. Arnett is now averaging 14.1 yards per catch and has cemented himself as the team's big play receiver and main deep threat. While fellow starting receiver Jock Sanders will get a lot more catches, it is Arnett who is always a threat to take a score with every touch of the ball.
Arnett's combination of size and speed is what makes him a decent NFL prospect. Most 6-2 receivers in college are not as fast as Arnett. While the speed is nice, he has to add some more weight or he will get beat at the line of scrimmage by stronger NFL corners.
2/21 Update: Arnett proved that he could be a deep threat at the next level during the East-West Shrine Game and the preceding workouts. Yet, he is not a receiver that has all the tools necessary to be a top selection (at least not at this point in his career). He will have the opportunity to move his stock up at the NFL Combine. If he fails to do so, he will probably be a fifth or sixth round selection.
Speaking of Alric at the combine..
Don't know about you guys but this guy looks legit to me, and he seems to have been making a name for himself in camp.
When Tebow stepped under center, his first pass was a touchdown in the back corner of the end zone to Alric Arnett, drawing a big fist pump from Josh McDaniels.
His second pass was another touchdown connection with Arnett on the opposite side of the end zone, but the defensive backs on the sideline claimed it was offensive pass interference.
See the left hander connection?
Again i look forward to seeing more of this guy in TC and part of me hopes he can push Lloyd of his spot because i really like his upside and obviously youth and bronco career longevity are attractive things. I'm not sure if he would be a guy that other teams would grab if we tried to move him to the PS but from what i've seen i tend to think they would, which would leave us with a tough roster decision.
Next up Patrick Honeycutt
via maxdenver.com
• POSITION: Wide Receiver
• COLLEGE: Middle Tennessee State
Not much out there on Honeycutt, he does have a pretty cool name though!
Patrick Honeycutt, the three-year starter at Middle Tennessee State University totaled 116 receptions for 1,261 yards and eight touchdowns in his career. He leaves the Blue Raiders ranked fourth in school history in receptions and ninth in receiving yards. He received third-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors from Phil Steele as a senior in 2009 after leading the team in receptions.
And this from DB.com blog:
Toward the end of practice, Quinn lofted a pass downfield for Patrick Honeycutt, who leaped in the air to haul it in. Meanwhile, Syd'Quan Thompson was closing fast, and the two collided in midair going for the ball. Honeycutt came away with the reception and Thompson helped him up after a few seconds on the grass. The big play earned Honeycutt a fist bump from offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
That's is pretty much it, that i could find anyway. If anyone knows any more about him please post it in the comments and i will add it to the post.
Height / Weight:
5-11 / 190
BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter who played in just six games as a senior and totaled 33/264/2 before tearing two ligaments in his right knee, which ended his season. Junior totals included 56/655/7 after 50/822/9 as a sophomore.
POSITIVES: Reliable possession receiver with solid hands. Easily adjusts to the errant throw, looks the ball into his hands, and is elusive running after us the reception. Displays focus, exposes himself to the big hit, and holds onto the pass in a crowd. Solid blocker who gets results downfield.
NEGATIVES: Displays marginal speed and a minimal burst to his game. Must prove he's back to full health after returning from the knee injury.
ANALYSIS: Lyons was a slowish possession wideout with marginal size before his injury last season. He'll have a tough time making it even as a team's fifth receiver.
(Hey firstfan.. it's not hiphop.. not really sure what it is tbh.. :-/)
Not sure what hope there is for this guy with all our players that are potential slot receivers. He doesn't even strike me as quick enough in the return game, but the Broncos signed him for a reason so i guess we will just have to wait and see.
Again if any of you guys have anything to add on him please feel free.
• POSITION: Wide Receiver
• COLLEGE: Maine
Williams played in 42 career games with 30 starts for the Black Bears, totaling 142 receptions for 1,679 yards and 23 touchdowns, and tacking on five rushes for 70 yards, 19 punt returns for 151 yards and 24 kickoff returns for 505 yards.
He tallied the fourth-most receptions in school history as a senior in 2009. That season, he set single-game school records in receptions -- 18 -- and receiving yards -- 239 -- against Rhode Island to go along with his three touchdowns.
(Advise you to switch the audio off on this one, it gets choppy and weird at points.)
Interview from draftnasty.com:
WR Landis Williams received All-CAA accolades after his record breaking performances last season. The speedy receiver hauled in 71 receptions for 779 yards and 9 touchdowns, increasing his numbers from his junior season. In addition, Williams finds time to be a track standout for the Black Bears. As DraftNasty.com continues to find its hidden gems, get to know Landis Williams and his expectations for his pro day on March 12th.
Q: This season your role increased within the offense. You doubled the number of catches and receiving yards from your junior season. What brought about this change for your numbers increasing this year?
A: I felt like I could have been doing this all along, but we were more run oriented the last 3 years. We also had 3 running backs that could really play. When we started losing people to injuries, I went to coach and told him I was ready to step up. I always believed in my ability and the coaches took a chance and did that this year.
Q: It seems you have a great deal of knowledge on how important it was to stretch the field. Why do you feel it is important to do this from a personal and team standpoint?
A: I understand the versatility you have to have in football. I help the running backs and they help me. When the opportunities came I had to take advantage of them. By me running down the field, I was able to open lanes for my running backs. Teams couldn't tell if I was a decoy or if I was involved in the route.
Q: What were your thoughts after you received the news of making the 1st team All-CAA?
A: I have goals and initially it was to be an All-American. I felt like I let myself down despite how good of a season people told me I had. I know what I am capable of doing.
Q: You are currently competing in indoor track, how has running the 60 meters helped you prepare to run the 40 at pro timing day?
A: Well, I've been running track since my freshman year. I was also a three sport athlete in high school. Track has put my body in condition for pro day. And even if I am asked to workout for a team I will be prepared. It also has kept me competitive.
Q: As the NFL draft approaches what are some of the things going through your head each day?
A: Just trying to stay calm, focus, and not beating myself up. Just have to let the day come. After speaking to a lot of other people, they just told me to let that day come and focus on the day to day training.
Q: When and where will you be doing your pro day at?
A: At Maine on March 12th. And I may be participating in the one at Rutgers.
Q: What are you hoping to accomplish at pro day?
A: The major goal is to run in the low 4.3 range. I know I'm capable of that and hopefully it will open up some eyes that day.
Q: Former Clemson WR Jacoby Ford made this comment at the NFL combine, "I happen to be a football guy running track." Would you say this applies to you also?
A: I would totally agree with that. My former track coach told me the same thing. I happen to be a fast football player running track.
Q: What is you most memorable game in your career?
A: My last home game. It was senior day, my mother got a chance to attend, last time in front of fans, and I broke 2 school records.
Q: If I was an NFL GM and I asked you what is the biggest asset you will bring to the organization, what would you say?
A: I would have to say my competitive nature and football savvy.
Q: Tell us something most people wouldn't know about you.
A: My teammates describe me as the Lamar Odom of football because I eat candy nonstop.
Q: Earlier you mentioned the possibility of running in the low 4.3 40, how confident are you when you say this?
A: I know I am capable of doing it especially after the way I have been running. I think if I run anything high in the 4.3 range I will be disappointed in myself.
Obviously being looked at as a deep threat kind of receiver, not really much more to say than that. Look forward to seeing what he can do in camp and maybe see him on the PS this season if he does well.
Ok so that's it, i know it is a bit top heavy but the UDFA aren't really highly scouted players, i.e. they have flaws in their game that prevents them from being taken high in the draft and i guess it means they are natural choices for the PS because they need time to learn and work on those weaknesses. Of the Bunch i think Alric Arnett could and should have the most impact. I also think that McKinley being on the 53 is a pretty sure thing but, in my mind, that does mean that either Lloyd or Stokley have to go, and as i said before i can only see Lloyd going if Thomas is realising some of his potential.
Like i said though if you have anything to add on these guys i would appreciate it, in my article on the RB's a couple of college fans gave their thoughts on the players and i thought that it was a great way to learn more about the players.
Anyway, thanks for your time hopefully you enjoyed Part 2.

The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London--and, indeed, the whole world--seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.
©1989 Martin Amis (P)2010 AudioGo
"Brilliant book, brilliantly narrated!"
This is an astonising novel in which the modern English idiom is used with extreme hyperbole at once to amuse, to titilate, to shock to sadden and to horrify. It is a sweeping, lyrical and philosophical story with its characters persisting in one's memory like long absent dear friends. It is laugh-out-loud funny, highly literate and, at the end, a tear-jerker. If there is a Hell down there, I'm sure old Kingsley Amis' suffererings are compounded by the degree his considerable literary talent is surpassed by his own son (DNA check?).
Steven Pacey is the best narrator I have so far heard on Audible. I assume he is English, but he recites in a faultless and lively Mid-Western drawl, and masters several other voices and accents perfectly. He is such a pleasure to listen to that I would advise people NOT to read the book but to listen to it on Audible. It is a far richer experience.
With Lotsa Love from gaz regn
The book is not only very clever (I'm sure lots when clear over my head), but the narrator is absolutely fabulous. He made the experience of listening to this masterpiece like true theater, never stepping out of character, no matter which character he was playing at the time
"This needs to be listened to by more people"
This was a fantastic book. I have been a fan of both Martin Amis and Steven Pacey in the past. They are both excellent at what they do, and to have them come together for this title made this one excellent work to listen to. This book kept me enthralled for its entirety. I don't know if it is marked as a thriller, but I was still wondering what was going to happen until the last 10 minutes.
Martin Amis' characters are all terrible people. Accept and enjoy that and you will love this book. Other than that, they are funny, and flawed, and excellent characters. Sure, they may ride the lines of being stereotypes, but they're portrayed in an interesting way.
Then there is Steven Pacey. I am not afraid to acknowledge that Pacey is the best narrator I've listened to and I have over 100 audiobooks completed and he is in fine form here. His characters all sound great and easily distinguishable. He really added a lot and almost tips the scale to make listening to this book the superior choice.
"Distrubing comedy"
Of course I would recommend it, however you should listen alone or at least not in mixed company.
Not what I excepted, and not very comfortable.
Niccola, was great, and so was Keith, and Guy, but the writer Sam was my favorite.
Many laugh out loud for many seconds, parts, and a few stop the recording and pull over to laugh moments, really too many list.
I don't usually go for novels from the English 80s but this one does nicely with the time period, and language. However it is dark and uncomfortable, I don't mind telling someone I know will not and has not read this or anything like this, but I don't know that I would want to admit to someone who was familiar with the work how much I enjoyed it, guilty indulgence or symptom of a diseased mind.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Officers are cracking down on drivers in Richmond County
that are breaking the law.
Sixty officers from across the state of Georgia searched vehicles at a Richmond
County checkpoint Friday night for drunk drivers, seat belt infractions, suspended
licenses and criminal activity.
There were 44 traffic fatalities in Richmond County last year;
that's an increase in traffic deaths of more than 130% since 2011.
The Law Enforcement Coordinator for the Governor's Office of
Highway Safety, Powell Harrison hopes Operation Thunder will be a safety check that can keep
those numbers down.
"We usually drive the fatalities down and everybody's a little bit more aware, they know we're out here working in force for the next 90 days," he said.
Richard Roundtree, the Richmond County Sheriff was at Friday
night's checkpoint and he said, "We're not only saving lives of the person who
may be impacted by the DUI but also the driver himself because he doesn't know
exactly what he's doing."
Roundtree tells Fox54 they handed out 184 citations Thursday when Operation Thunder began.
He says within the first hours of the Friday night
checkpoint officers made two DUI arrests and an arrest for drugs.

A 12-year-old Salem boy is back at home, after surviving a heart attack at basketball practice earlier this month.
"My chest, where the scar is, it has pains and that's pretty much all," said Isaac Arzate.
Arzate's January 6 heart attack was the result of a structural deficiency in his heart. He had heart surgery on January 13 and now has a large scar running down the center of his chest.
"It was like turned one way and like when I would pump blood, it wouldn't pump all the way through," explained Arzate. "So they had to go inside me and turn that tube or something so it can pump blood all the way."
Arzate said he does not remember collapsing at practice. According to witnesses, he became winded and sat down for a few minutes. He was resting on the sidelines when he collapses. Coaches immediately started CPR, which saved his life. He was taken to Salem Hospital; once stable, he was transported to Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland.
Knowing how close he came to dying, is a little scary, Arzate said. "That my life was right there."
Arzate played several sports and had no symptoms before the heart attack.
"There's no way you could have known, that's what's scary," said his mother, Lindsay Wiens. "Really the only thing you can do to prevent something like this from having a long lasting effect is to learn CPR. That's what saved his life."
The family knows they're very fortunate Arzate survived.
A few days before Arzate collapsed, a teen had a heart attack at basketball practice in La Center, Washington. Cody Sherrell later died.
"I can't imagine what their family is going through," said Arzate's mom, Lindsay Wiens. "When we were in the hospital, you're so happy that your son is doing really good but then you feel so bad. You're fortunate, you're happy you're not that family. But then the reality is there is that family that's in that situation."
A fund is set up at U.S. Bank to help the family with Arzate's medical bills. To donate, ask for the Isaac Arzate relief fund at any branch.

Hello Stampede Blue, you may know me lately as the guy who makes overflow threads for the game day threads, one of the few Canadians here, or as one of the youngest posters on here.
Today I will introduce you into a little thing I like to call OT Threads, OT is short for Off-Topic, use these threads to learn more about other posters, discuss things in football, or other than football, and let other posters learn more about yourself.
Now, I will start doing these on a daily basis and you guys can post anything you'd like to discuss, just make sure to keep it at least a little civil. I will usually give conversation topics to get things going, so here are some for today.
OT Thread Topics:
1. What is your favorite movie series? eg. Band of Brothers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of The Rings, etc.
2. What is your favorite movie genre?
3. What is your favorite music genre?
4. What is your favorite musical artist/group?
5. What is your favorite video game at the moment?
So have at it Stampede Blue, comment all you want, discuss, whatever!

DANVERS — It started Tuesday night as two cases of missing persons: one, a teenage boy who was last seen at a local movie theater; the other, a young teacher who hadn't returned home from work and wasn't answering her phone.
It became a murder investigation early yesterday when police found the teenager walking north on Route 1 in Topsfield and, then, the teacher's body in a wooded area behind Danvers High School.
Philip Chism, 14, is now charged with first-degree murder in the death of Colleen Ritzer, 24, a math teacher at the school.
Chism was ordered held without bail by a Salem District Court judge yesterday. He will be held at Middleton Jail, according to court officials.
But few details of just what happened have been confirmed. An attempt by a prosecutor to outline the facts of the case was cut off by Chism's lawyer, who objected to the police report being read in court.
What is known so far is that police, who were already looking for the missing teenager, a recent transplant from Tennessee, were called shortly after 11 p.m. because Ritzer had not returned home and wasn't answering her cellphone.
Police secured the school and found blood in a second-floor bathroom, said District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett.
Then, just over an hour after Ritzer was reported missing, Topsfield police found Chism walking north on the southbound side of Route 1 in that town. He was taken into custody.
As a result of an interview with the teenager and a review of surveillance video from the school, Ritzer's body was found in the woods near the school.
"It was apparent that she is a homicide victim," Blodgett said yesterday morning.
According to a three-paragraph statement of facts filed with the court, the teacher and the student knew each other at school; the report does not say whether the boy was Ritzer's student.

I also don't like HHH the wrestler. After 5 minutes he's giving it the whole staggering, open mouth, far away look – routine like he's just been in a war. To be honest I think that's all he's really got in his locker: epic wars. And he goes to it far too quickly and far too often. HHH is overrated by the WWE, they love to get his name in there with the HBKs, Takers, Rocks and Stone Colds as much as they can, and I think it's good that a real legend like Hart comes along and cries bullshit on all of that. Bret was an amazing wrestler, who went to every length to get fans to believe in what was going on in the ring,HHH on the other hand, is a big posing pretender, who thinks he's better than he really is and sadly get other people believing it because of that. by Bill P. on Jan 31, 2013 5:53 PM EST 17 recs
and also from the same thread...
Hart is using the word "great" different from the way I would use it. He means "great" like "the best on the card" or "the best this or that I've seen in a while" etc. Hart is taking out the splendor and epic-ness of the WWF/E's production department, and is just looking at the actual art of the matches. To that point, Trips is hardly the legend he is purported to be. But he's been in some "great" (as in epic, memorable) matches enough that I would consider him a great pro wrestler. By that same metric so is Hogan (there's damning praise!). Triple H is a "manufactured legend" worthy of some praise but not nearly as much as is heaped on him. I'd say he's due the same amount of accolades that a guy like JBL or Kevin Nash got. And were he not in a position to position himself in the top position for so long, his career would probably mirror those future HOFers: a couple world title runs to his name, a few spurts at the main event, but not a world beater. He's placed on the level of HBK, Rock and Austin, but one of those four is not like the other. He's a manufactured legend. by BIGPALE on Jan 31, 2013 8:48 PM EST 7 recs

I was wondering if the Domtar layoff is part of Christy Clark's $15-million advertising campaign about her B.C. Jobs and Canada Starts Here jobs plans.
She is quoted on one of her websites as saying, "As countries around the world struggle economically, British Columbia is using its position of strength to defend and create jobs in every community".
How are you defending these Domtar jobs Christy, Terry and Kevin?
On the back page of this same edition announcing the layoff at Domtar is an article extolling Clark's "bold" and "audacious" plan to turn B.C. into Canada's job-creation machine.
I'm sure that the 125 Domtar workers losing their jobs will be overjoyed that Christy has a "bold" and "audacious" plan for them.
Is the Domtar layoff part of this bold and audacious plan Christy, Terry and Kevin, or just more "hucksterism" from a failed government with an unqualified, unelected "un-Premier?"

NEW: Langevin & Cicilline Blast GOP Over Hurricane Sandy Funds
Wednesday, January 02, 2013
U.S. Congressman James R. Langevin (D-RI) and U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (D-RI) expressed disbelief today that the House Republican leadership continues to hold firm in its insistence not to vote on Hurricane Sandy recovery funds in the current Congress despite pleas from both parties to act. The House adjourned for today without taking any votes.
Langevin and Cicilline have called for a vote on Senate-passed legislation that would approve $60.4 billion in Hurricane Sandy recovery funds to go toward rebuilding infrastructure, fisheries and other severely damaged property, as well as providing small business assistance. Without a vote by noon tomorrow, the process for passing this legislation would need to start over once the 113th Congress convenes.
"We're astonished by the lack of urgency from Speaker Boehner and his leadership team to address Sandy relief," said Langevin and Cicilline. "Clear bipartisan support exists in both chambers to give affected states the resources they need to rebuild and recover, and every day we wait adds to the burden of the people most impacted by this devastating storm, from the Jersey Shore and New York City up to the coasts of Washington, Newport and Bristol Counties.
"Failure to act quickly in a situation where Congress has an obvious and vital role does not bode well for what are sure to be more contentious debates over the budget in the months to come. We will continue to press for a vote by tomorrow morning, before the new Congress begins, to avoid delay."
Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States during the last week of October 2012. Langevin and Cicilline joined U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) in a letter urging President Obama to expedite the approval of emergency relief for Rhode Island. Three days later, Obama authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide emergency aid to Rhode Island to assist in state and local response efforts.
The U.S. Senate approved a $60.4 billion emergency supplemental package for Hurricane Sandy recovery work last Friday, with the measure passing by a bipartisan vote of 62 to 32.
Enjoy this post? Share it with others.
Now they have the temerity to criticize Boehner for actually doing something courageous in NOT putting the pork-laden Hurricane Sandy "relief" bill to a vote. Of course, there is no surprise because these hacks take every available opportunity to screw the taxpayers.
The pork-barrel feast includes more than $8 million to buy cars and equipment for the Homeland Security and Justice departments. It also includes a whopping $150 million for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to dole out to fisheries in Alaska and $2 million for the Smithsonian Institution to repair museum roofs in DC.
An eye-popping $13 billion would go to "mitigation" projects to prepare for future storms.
Other big-ticket items in the bill include $207 million for the VA Manhattan Medical Center; $41 million to fix up eight military bases along the storm's path, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; $4 million for repairs at Kennedy Space Center in Florida; $3.3 million for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center and $1.1 million to repair national cemeteries.
Budget watchdogs have dubbed the 94-page emergency-spending bill "Sandy Scam."
$58.8 million for forest restoration on private land.
$197 million "to… protect coastal ecosystems and habitat impacted by Hurricane Sandy."
$10.78 billion for public transportation, most of which is allocated to future construction and improvements, not disaster relief.
$17 billion for wasteful Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), a program that has become notorious for its use as a backdoor earmark program.
So... thanks Boehner... you finally did something right.

Comment #2 by Allison Westhaver on 2013 01 03
And P.S. Remember Obama could have instructed his puppet Harry Reid to expedite the Sandy "relief" bill WITHOUT THE PORK but instead Obama did NOTHING. Passing bills like this and borrowing the $$$ to pay for them from China is what will kill your children's American Dream. King and Christie are grandstanding on this and behaving like tyrants, not responsible legislators. Pox on both their houses. The first wave of Sandy relief is already in place... 60 billion of pork is a disgrace.

Hundreds of friends and family pay respects at lavish send-off in Tiptree for beauty queen Bonnie Hiller
Updated 4:45pm Thursday 10th July 2014 in News
BEAUTY queen Bonnie Hiller was given a lavish send-off by hundreds of friends and family.
Bonnie, a former Miss Colchester and Miss East Anglia, was killed in a car crash on June 21, aged 27.
Six white horses with bright pink feathers on their heads pulled a carriage with her coffin to St Luke's Church, in Tiptree, followed by a procession of 12 silver Rolls Royces.
Mourners were joined by residents in the village, who stopped to watch the cortege pass.
There were so many guests, the 100-seat side room at the church was full and more people stood in the churchyard to listen to the service on a speaker system.

Each year, ESPN Insider Keith Law ranks the farm systems based on his top 100 rankings.
In 2013, we find four members of the Boston Red Sox in his top 100. They are SS Xander Bogaerts (No.5), OF Jackie Bradley, Jr. (No. 40). RHP Allen Webster (No. 63) and RHP Matt Barnes (No. 79).
LHP Henry Owens just missed out on the top 100 coming in at 101.
Here's what Law had to say about each player:
A year ago, Bogaerts looked like a high-ceiling bat who'd have to find a new position, most likely third base, but a year of full-season ball at shortstop with continued work on maintaining his conditioning has his odds of remaining in the middle of the field up over even money. And a shortstop who can hit like this is a pretty special commodity.
Bogaerts has a very easy, picturesque right-handed swing, with great hand acceleration that leads to surprisingly hard contact — the ball comes off his bat much better than you'd expect, given his size. He gets his front leg down a little late, which could lead to timing issues but hasn't so far.
He's not likely to become a plus defender at short, but even fringe-average defense there would make him a five-win player or more given his bat. And given how he has managed to keep his waist lean and his lower half athletic so far, I like his chances to do just that.

Bradley, Jr.
Bradley is a potential Gold Glove defender in center — meaning he'd be one of the best, not that he'd get the actual award, since the two have almost nothing to do with each other — who should hit for average and get on base as long as he doesn't overextend himself and try to hit for power.
He is just an average runner but his reads on balls in center rival those of the other elite defensive center fielders in the minors, even ahead of guys like Albert Almora and Mason Williams. His lower half can be a little noisy at the plate, getting his front foot down late, gliding over his front side and sometimes even drifting back mid-swing. But when he keeps his swing short and simple he generates hard line-drive contact from foul line to foul line, with doubles power that might max out around 10-12 homers a year. When he over-rotates to try to hit the ball out, he doesn't make enough contact and the result of the tradeoff is a net negative.
His best attribute as a hitter has been his plate discipline, producing high walk rates in the minors with good pitch recognition as well, producing a .373 OBP after his promotion to Portland.
His emergence in 2012 will probably help the Red Sox feel like they can let Jacoby Ellsbury walk as a free agent after the 2013 season, with a cheaper replacement, one without all of the injuries, waiting in the wings.
Webster will show three plus pitches and looks like he should be at or near the top of someone's rotation, but as a converted position player, he has struggled to develop enough fastball command to translate the raw stuff into on-field success.
He will sit at 94 mph with his fastball and can reach 97 with plus sink that led to a 2:1 groundout-to-fly out ratio in Double-A this year, pairing it with a swing-and-miss changeup with good action and a slider that will flash plus but isn't as consistent as the other two pitches. As you'd expect from a former shortstop, he is athletic and can repeat his delivery well, but he lacks the feel for pitching that he'll need to succeed as a starter even at Triple-A, both in terms of just throwing strikes and in using and mixing his pitches more effectively.
The Red Sox were thrilled to get him from the Dodgers in the Adrian Gonzalez/Carl Crawford/Josh Beckett blockbuster that also netted Rubby De La Rosa (no longer eligible for this list) and view Webster as a potential No. 2 starter. I see that ceiling, but a lot of work between here and there.
Barnes shocked a lot of scouts this year with the leap forward in his fastball command, working with it up and down, side to side, so even though he wasn't consistently 93-97 as he was in college he could still get outs and set up his off-speed stuff.
He's ditched the below-average slider that screwed him up in his junior year at UConn and pitched most of the season with an above-average downer curveball that he could throw for strikes. His changeup gradually improved over the year as the Red Sox forced him to throw it a number of times each game, but even in Salem he was still getting hitters on both sides of the plate out with the fastball.
Barnes was a little experienced to spend the whole year in A-ball, so his stat line overstates how advanced he is, but he looks like a solid mid-rotation guy who'll be at least league-average, with a chance to profile better than that because of how well he locates the fastball.
Owens works at just 88-92 mph with a big, slow curveball and some feel for a change, but has posted high strikeout totals in the low minors because he hides the ball so well behind his 6-foot-6 frame that hitters don't pick it up, swinging through 88 mph like it's 94 mph. That can work for guys in the big leagues, but I'd like to see Owens, who doesn't have a ton of projection for future velocity gains, do it against a higher caliber of hitter before buying in fully.

Observer review
the observer Sun 17 February 2013
Al Alvarez's swimmer's diary, describing his all-year-round swimming in the outdoor ponds on Hampstead Heath, north London, is a marvellous book. Even the title Pondlife is spot-on: unlaboured, light and right. But it has no business to be as invigorating and absorbing its success is against the odds. What, after all, are the chances of making a good read out of a repeated activity, in the same place, day in, day out a record of dips (most of which take place between 2002 and 2009) by an arthritic old man determined to free himself of age in the city's waters? In one sense, the book could not be more repetitive. But I read it as if each swim were a new question which in a sense it was and as if I were almost brave enough to take the plunge alongside him. And I never tired of hearing his answers the sense of each swim as a tonic, a way of being born again.
Alvarez once the distinguished poetry editor of this newspaper as well as being a writer, poet, poker player and former rock climber reminds us that the same place is never the same. Like VS Naipaul in The Enigma of Arrival describing repeated walks in Wiltshire, Alvarez is alive to the heath's nuances the pond the only fixed point throughout the changing year. The casual grace of his writing is partly what makes the journal such a joy to read: "Spring is back again, but pale, tentative, washed out, as though after a binge." I especially enjoyed his wry, neighbourly attitude towards birds members of his swimming club. He salutes a mannish heron, keeps his eye on hazardous swans, describes Canada geese "ignoring each other, like some ill-matched married couple". He is a sort of water bird himself, although his ankle a weak point since childhood is too duff to allow him to be much of a wader.
The diary entries work like a swimmer's rhythmic strokes, pushing ahead through time. In winter, the water can be brutally cold. Oddly enough, just after finishing the book, I was walking on Hampstead Heath on a punishing January morning and was able to watch, from a long way off, an old man hesitating at the water's edge. It was obvious that the hesitation was about nerving himself to dive in. I thought of Alvarez and it made me realise I would have liked to hear more about how he learned to psych himself up to swim on the more intimidating days.
My suspicion is that there is some sort of tacit macho rule among outdoor swimmers that makes fear of cold a non-subject. Yet there are times when Alvarez emerges from the water with his teeth and jawbone aching and fingers too numb to do up his trousers or shoelaces. Fortunately, there seems always to be someone on hand to help. And what he does comment on the only foregone conclusion is that he feels better after his swim than before: pain temporarily banished. Swimming is also "good for the soul and cheaper than psychoanalysis".
Swimming is about living in the present and against the tide of age. Inevitably, the book is a reluctant meditation on getting old, although Alvarez does everything he can to ignore it (he is 73 when the book starts, eightysomething by the end). Age is treated no better than it deserves as a troublesome hanger-on. He chafes against old bufferhood. He could not be clearer about the humiliations involved in not being able to get about easily. He lets us know about them in seething asides. He makes no secret of his vanities the need for the adrenaline rush involved in overcoming a physical challenge that he once described as "feeding the rat". He wears his faultiness, frustrations and insecurities on his sleeve or around his ankle.
He describes his loves and hates his distaste for the literary world ("peopled by monsters") and his unfaltering love on a sudden sighting of his wife: "Forty years on and my heart still jumped with pleasure." He quotes Bette Davis: "Getting old ain't for sissies." And Beckett, who "got it right" when he wrote: "You must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on." His own motto is: "When in doubt, grit your teeth and do it." At one point, battling foul weather, he compares himself to King Lear without the Fool. I would say he is more like King Lear and the Fool together with all the rash, rueful wisdom that implies.
Alvarez's tenacity is awesome. No wonder that, when he fetches up in Hampstead's Royal Free hospital, he rails against his captivity and gets a boost when his fellow swimmers pitch up with a jam jar of pond water as a gift. He is hanging on to what he calls his "pond cred". He turns 80 and reports feeling that he has arrived at an almost "absurd" destination: "I feel as if I'd been set free to do whatever I want." Even post-stroke, that means swimming. The book's last words are from Pancho Villa: "Don't let me die like this. Tell them I said something clever." Is it really possible he does not know he has?
Guardian review
the guardian Fri 01 February 2013
Al Alvarez has always been one of literature's hard men: a poet, yes, but also a rock climber, a poker player, a scrutineer of suicides. On the face of it, his most recent book and, by his own admission, probably his last, lets him conform to type. It's a journal he kept between 2002 and 2009 (the year he turned 80), in which he describes more or less daily dips in the ponds on Hampstead Heath. "For a little while," he tells us, "between taking your clothes off and putting them back on, you are a 'naked, unaccommodated man', feeling the weather on your skin. It's a mild form of rock climbing: it strips away the comforts and protections that Shakespeare called 'additions'." Hard, see. Especially when it's snowing, the ponds are coated with ice, and there's a decent chance of getting attacked by a swan.
As things turn out, Pondlife is a good deal more nuanced and vulnerable than this. Sure, there are moments of wilful machismo, when he takes a swipe at "wimps" who stay away because the water is freezing. But the bulk of the book has very little to do with this sort of thing, being much more focused on the frailties of old age, on how swimming releases him from the pain of a crocked ankle that has dogged him for many years, and on the fading of lifelong pleasures. (He was six months old when his parents moved to Hampstead and he has swum in the ponds since he was 11.) It is, in other words, a journal of leave-taking as well as "a swimmer's journal", and parts of it especially in the second half are sympathetic and touching.
It requires a bit of patience to reach these rewards not so much due to the male posturing, but because Alvarez seems to have begun writing the journal much more casually than he ends it. The language is pretty ordinary (the water is almost always "fresh and sweet"). The literary allusions are predictable (Lear and Yeats and Beckett for old age, MacNeice for "the drunkenness of things being various"). The main ingredients of the entries stay more or less the same: the same attention to the weather and the temperature of the water; the same glances at swans, herons and coots; the same rolling over to watch planes overhead; the same pretty leaves falling into the water (or not).
Occasionally there are breaks in the routine when Alvarez goes to his house in Italy with his wife Anne; when he gets excited about a poker game; when he buys a new car; when he writes a review for the NYRB. But all these interruptions are made to seem just that, interruptions, which means that before he dives back gratefully into the water again, he doesn't take much trouble to expatiate on terrestrial life. This sort of concentration has produced very good books in the past, not least Thoreau's Walden. But while the pond in that masterpiece becomes a means of exploring the wide world, the water in Pondlife provides no equivalent sense of expansion.
And yet. Although Alvarez grumbles about age and decay from the start, his journal also changes as it goes along. Swimming itself becomes an even more urgent necessity as a way of keeping death at bay and the ponds become not so much "England's last outpost", manned by a bunch of hardy and likeable eccentrics, as a way of dramatising his defiance. Here, in a dim-lit world of wheelchairs, persistent pain, a stroke and the death of friends, existence becomes more precious as it grows more precarious. The plainness of Alvarez's language works to his advantage; it lets us see the courage in restraint. The same goes for the last few pages which do not so much bring things to a conclusion as peter out, and (given the reasons) add to the poignancy rather than seeming an artistic failure.
In the process, Alvarez laments that he no longer has the energy to finish a book that he's been commissioned to write about old age. But he has written it, of course, and this is it not so much Pondlife as "Swan Song". By the time it stumbles into silence at last, even the macho elements of the earlier pages seem altered and seem a part of the understandable animal rejection of everything they cannot alter or restrain.

According to this Draft Express article, the Warriors may soon call up C.J. Watson, the D-League Player of the Month for December.
I don't remember seeing Watson play in college, but his D-League stats look pretty good. His shooting %'s (50.6% FG, 40% 3P, 89.8% FT) are extremely solid and he can obviously put the ball in the hole (26.4 ppg). His 1.66 assist/ turnover ratio is pretty suspect tho. Obviously, how well he plays defense is pretty important as well.
