This trade needs to go down simply because we have a need and they have a need. We need shooting from the SG position and they need a PG who can lead a team and defend. They also happen to need an athletic shot-blocker for their front line.
We send Kirk, Tyrus, an unprotected 1st and maybe the rights to Omer Asik in exchange for K-Mart, Rodirguez and May. The salary works on ESPN trade machine: LINK.
Why we make this trade.
We need a shooter to fill the void at the SG spot and K-Mart fits that bill. He is only 27 years old and would flourish next to a PG like Rose for the next 5 years. K-mart's contract is similar to Kirks and would still allow us to sign a max-free agent PF in the off-season. We would still have 19 to 20 million in cap-space to chase Bosh, STAT, Boozer or Lee this upcoming off-season.
Rodirguez would hold down the back-up PG spot and May would give us depth on the front line. We also inherit Rodirguez bird-rights , so he might be inclined to re-sign with us next year.
Why the make this trade,
K-Mart and Evans don't mix and they need a starting NBA PG. Unless they New Jersey is willing to swap Harris for K-Mart and I don't think the Nets are willing to give up on Harris to get another wing player, because they have like 20 SG's and SF's. Kirk brings them defense, leadership and can knock down the 3pt shot. I think he would be an ideal fit next to Evans and might even teach him some defensive intensity. The Kings have no shot-blockers. Tyrus would give them a big boost in that area and might actually thrive in a 3 big-man of Thompson, Tyrus and Hawes. Tyrus would probably have a re-birth in Sacramento maybe not all-star, but maybe 12 ppg / 8 rpg / 3 bpg numbers. We also give them Asik to sweeten the deal, who also would add a shot-blocking Center to back up Hawes.
They also get a 1st rounder that would probably be in the high teens. They have sucked this year and will probably get a high pick and end up drafting someone like Evan turner or John Wall.
Final thoughts.
This trade helps both teams. The Bulls get a SG who would fit great next to Rose and maintain enough cap-space to chase an All-Star PF. The Kings get a starting NBA PG and (2) shot blocking bigs in Thomas and Asik and a future draft pick. Imagine if we made this trade and were able to land a low-post scorer, our starting 5 would look like this:
PG - Rose
SG - Martin
SF - Deng
PF - Bosh / Boozer or STAT ?
We would till have Taj and JJ backing up both Forward positions and we could re-sign Miller and Rodirguez as well. I know the Bulls don't have the savvy to pull of a trade like this, but it's all right to dream I guess.

Download: Drumma Boy's 4th of July Playlist
I'm very effusive in the artists who I love, but I really fucking love Drumma Boy. That time I met him at SXSW? That picture is still the background on my phone, and he's still one of my favorite producers.
Every song on his 4th of July Playlist is produced by him, and features some of the usual suspects like Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Chris Breezy, Gucci Mane, and a shitload of others, considering it's songs that he has produced. Be forewarned, however, that it isn't only trapsters on this mix, which is indicative of Drumma Boy's prowess as a producer. Anywho, I love playlists that other people make, especially if they're as good as this one.

Zenyatta on 60 Minutes
The article more has to do with her workout this morning, but what grabbed my attention was confirmation (I read a rumor the other day) that Z will be featured on a 60 Minutes story. That is the highest rated, most respected, news program on TV (and one I almost always watch). I think it is fantastic pub for the horse...and the sport at large.

The 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket officially started on Tuesday night with a pair of games in the "First Four" division of the bracket featuring wins by the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and BYU Cougars as they eliminated the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils and Iona Gaels, respectively.
On the downside, that means the bracket everyone printed out earlier this week is already outdated. On the bright side, the team at SB Nation headquarters has already updated their bracket to include the changes!
Here's the 2012 NCAA Tournament printable bracket, updated through March 13.
That bracket will be updated once again on Thursday morning, better known as the best day in college basketball, since there are two more play-in games on Wednesday night: the Lamar Cardinals will play the Vermont Catamounts followed by the California Golden Bears matching up with the South Florida Bulls.
For more insight on the tournament, check out SB Nation's Youtube channel as they have more analysis featuring experts than you can probably shake a stick at!

Heisman Trophy Update (as of 9/30/10)
Here at Bang the Book, we are beginning our update for the Heisman Trophy odds on a weekly basis. Here is our first look through four weeks of play at some of the favorites as well as the odds to win the 2010 Heisman Trophy that can be found below…
Mark Ingram, Alabama Crimson Tide: Just two weeks ago, Ingram was off the board for Heisman Trophy odds. Now, he is the runaway favorite yet again. Rushing in the SEC is never easy, but last year, it was a cinch for Ingram. His carries are still being split with RB Trent Richardson and at times, RB Eddie Lacy, but that doesn't mean that the reigning Heisman Trophy winner isn't still getting all of his touches. Ingram is averaging over 150 yards per game since his return, and if he keeps up at this pace and the Tide end up playing in the SEC Championship Game, he'll once again end up right around the 1,500 yard mark for the year. Ingram rumbled for 157 yards and two TDs against the Arkansas Razorbacks last week.
Denard Robinson, Michigan Wolverines: There's no doubt that Robinson is putting his numbers up against the lousy competitors on the Wolverines' schedule, but we want to see what he can do starting in two weeks when the Michigan State Spartans come to town. Talk to us in two months and let's see if he can put up these types of numbers against the Spartans, Hawkeyes, Nittany Lions, Badgers, and Buckeyes. Robinson didn't last very long in the romp of the Bowling Green Falcons last week, though he did account for 60 yards through the air and 129 and two scores on the ground. The fact that QB Tate Forcier went 12-for-12 might come back to bite Robinson in the backside though, as he could find himself on the bench if he slips up at any point.
Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State Buckeyes: It makes the most sense for Pryor to be a favorite amongst the three top Heisman Trophy contenders due to the fact that he is probably going to be putting up the best numbers on one of the best teams in the land. Granted, we know that Pryor torched the Eastern Michigan Eagles last week, but any time you can go 20-for-26 for 224 yards with four scores and then rush the ball for another 104 yards and a tuddy in major college football, you're doing something impressive. Pryor will still ultimately end up staying on this list forever and has no competition behind him, unlike Ingram and Robinson.

Kellen Moore, Boise State Broncos: Moore had his one, and potentially only shot of proving that he was capable of being a Heisman Trophy winner last week against the Oregon State Beavers. Moore's numbers were good, but they weren't fantastic. He went 19-of-27 for 288 yards with three TDs and no turnovers, which would have looked a lot more impressive had the Broncos beaten the NCAA football odds on the day. Instead, they couldn't quite shake the Beavs at any point. Unless Moore's numbers start to look absolutely head and shoulders above everyone else's in the country, he'll be no more than the fourth or fifth choice almost all season long and he won't be a finalist come December.
Andrew Luck, Stanford Cardinal: Luck was a bit of a dark horse for this award at the start of the season, but with one dominating performance next week against the Oregon Ducks, he can make himself a favorite for the first time this year. Luck got a tad lucky last weekend, as his Cardinal looked great in a 37-14 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. His numbers were lousy though, as 19-of-32 for 238 yards with a TD and two INTs just isn't going to cut it on a regular basis. If Stanford keeps winning though, Luck is going to stay in the mix, especially if these two INT games are limited to just here and there.
Ryan Mallett, Arkansas Razorbacks: At least as of right now, we aren't so sure why Mallett is considered the sixth choice on the Heisman Trophy board. He might have thrown for 357 yards and a TD, but three INTs against the Alabama Crimson Tide defense was just too many to overcome. In the end, it's not like the Razorbacks really proved that they didn't belong on the same field as the Tide. They just couldn't come up with the big drives when need be. That's all on Mallett's lap with all of the turnovers. It's a long climb from here to become even a finalist.

I received Carol Deppe's book The Resilient Gardener recently as a gift. Deppe's work is a trove of arcane knowledge on gardening four staples — corn, potatoes, beans, and squash — plus raising ducks. I'd like to write a review of the book once I have the chance to put to use more of its advice. For now, you'll probably see references to the book popping up frequently in posts.
Last summer I grew Bloody Butcher corn, a deep red heirloom variety. The ears have been hanging and dry in my storage closet-cum-corn crib and I've been looking for how to put the corn to an edible use, but didn't know the best application. You see, since industrialized corn production became so dominant, we've largely forgotten about the wealth of varieties of corn and how to use field corn as an ingredient. When you're going to process a few million tons six ways to Sunday, subtleties of flavor and cooking properties matter little.
As explained on the chapter on corn in The Resilient Gardener, three broad types of corn can be put to particular uses. Inside corn kernels, like all seeds, are the germ and endosperm. Flint corns have a large amount of endosperm of a hard glassy, flint-like texture. Flint corns make good polenta, johnnycakes, puddings, or other boiled applications. Flour corns have little flinty endosperm and a large amount of fluffy, starchy endosperm. Flour corns make, of course, good flour which can be made into bread and cakes. The best flour corns can apparently make a flour with properties comparable to wheat flours. Dent corns have equal amounts of flinty and flour endosperms. They are derived from crosses of flinty and flour corns and have a dent in the kernel when dried due to the two types of endosperms shrinking different amounts when dry. Flint corns have properties of both flour and flint corns and drawbacks all their own.
You can tell what type of corn you have by cutting a kernel in half and inspecting the endosperm. Bloody butcher kernels have a dent, but their interior is full of floury endosperm and little if any flinty endosperm. An intriguing application of flour corn described by Deppe was parched corn. Parching is cooking by dry heat and this is basically what corn nuts are. Flour corns will expand until the endosperm puffs slightly and seed coat cracks, but won't quite pop because the kernels are too large and without the internal moisture of popcorn. The result, lightly salted, is a crunchy, wholesome snack much like nuts that sweetens as you chew and the starches break into sugars.
It's hard to tell which corn varieties make good parched corn, but red corns tend to be good, so I had to give it a try. And since I was making homemade corn nuts, I wanted to add some spice. Here's the recipe and method.
1 cup corn kernels
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp salt
1 T chili powder
pinch of ground cumin
Preheat oven to 250. Heat a 12-inch cast iron pan on medium high heat, then added the corn. The kernels writhe on the pan's hot surface as the water inside turns to gas and the seed coat bursts open. After a few minutes of heat and occasional shaking, the corn is parched. In a second skillet heat over medium 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and the chile flakes. Put the spices in a mixing bowl. Add the nuts to the oiled skillet and toss until the oil coats the kernels well. Deglaze the pan with the Worcestershire and soy sauces and continue cooking until the kernels are coated and sticky. Dump the kernels in the mixing bowl and toss with the spices. Spread the kernels on a half sheet pan and put in the oven for 10-20 minutes until the spices are well adhered. Cool the corn nuts and enjoy.
Parched corn is the perfect accompaniment a cold beverage of your choice. They are quite crunchy and you can't eat too many in one mouthful, but sitting out for a cocktail party or game night, they'll be sure to disappear. Bloody Butcher seems to be a great candidate for parching. Try substituting lime juice for one of the sauces and other spices, such as paprika or ground ginger to create different flavor combinations.
Figuring out how to use my heirloom field corn was a real treat and I can't wait to grind it into flour for what I hope will be fantastic cornbread. Stay tuned.

Prosecutors have charged a 34-year-old man in connection to shooting at a car wash near 42nd Street and Prospect Avenue on Sunday.
Timothy T. McClendon has been charged with first-degree murder and a felony count of armed criminal action.
McClendon's shooting of Jose O. Jenkins was captured on video cameras at a nearby business, court documents stated.
According to court documents, the victim initially shot a gun at McClendon, who took off running. McClendon returned fire and hit Jenkins, who could not stand after being wounded. McClendon then walked to his vehicle, reloaded his gun and fired multiple shots at the victim. He fired from his vehicle which he pulled up next to the victim.
An autopsy found about 22 gunshot wounds in the victim's head, neck and torso.
Prosecutors have recommended a $500,000 cash bond.

After patiently waiting for 10 months inside Whiskey barrels(found out it is Stranahan's), Upslope's Barley-wine has emerged!
Drinking at the taproom:
The beer poured a murky brown with auburn edges. Off the tap poured a billowing head which dissipated into a nice bubbly cap.
Aroma is a solid and deep toffee and caramel with brown sugar, vanilla, oak, whiskey, dark fruits; plums, raisins, figs, with cherries, apples and coconut.
Taste follows in suit, big caramel and toffee front, flowing into brown sugar, raisins, whiskey, figs, and coconut with vanilla, caramel and toffee closing it down with present but never overpowering alcohol. Flavors don't last quite as long as the nose would suggest.
Mouthfeel is thick and coating, and heavy on the tongue.
Overall this beer is a delight. Only drawback I found was it's depth. It was deep, complex and layered but I kept comparing it to Bligh's (another Stranahan's BA Barleywine) and I thought this one just left the palate slightly quicker than I remember Bligh's doing.
Cheers Upslope, your one offs are killing it! If you ever see this, drink as much as you can!

Made the 4-mile treck to the taproom (for the first time) just to get my hands on this Barleywine.
A: Deep, dark brown in color. The taproom is very well lit, but light only penetrates the top edges of this beer, not so much due to the color, but to the murkiness. The head was big and thick, but dissipated rather quickly. Lacing is thin, but consistent rhroughtoit the glass and very attractive.
S: The guy sitting next to me took one sniff of this stuff and said "Whoa! That is intense.". Also, the last guy to review this one got a big dose of aroma as well. I get a decent aroma, but it is not as strong as I would like for a Barleywine. That said, toffee, brown sugar, caramel and a hint of banana bread are dominating while a faint, citrusy hop aroma lurks underneath.
T: Delicious. We'll start with that. The brown sugar, toffee and caramel come through very string in the taste. Banana is also fairly strong with a slight pine and lemon hop flavor lurking. The aftertaste is short-lived, but pleasant, leaving a the faint taste of tobacco on the palate.
M: Creamy and silky. There is no sparkle at all here, but for such a rich and flavorful Barleywine that is perfect.
O: I have always enjoy Upslope, but this is a step a solid step above what I am used to from one of Boulder's hidden gems. Come to Boulder, drink this Barleywine.

At the taproom, out of a tulip, experienced right next to this kkrez fool.
Appears murky and caramel-brown, like an unfiltered apple cider or something.
Smell starts with malty sweetness (dark fruits: raisins, dates; tropical fruits: pineapple, banana), gets a bit bourbon-boozey, with vanilla and caramel and toffee, eventually strikes me with a hint of the bourbon booze and a slight pecan-like nuttiness.
Taste is very similar to the smell: dark and tropical fruits, but with some chewy, biscuity malt action. Bourbon comes through as caramel, toffee, and vanilla, and the barrel-aging seems to keep these flavors from being especially booze-like. Finishes with caramel, dark fruit, vanilla, and some nutty characters.
Mouthfeel is the best part of this beer in my opinion. Chewy and thick, a little viscous, but overall exceptionally creamy. Sexual.
Overall I think this is a fantastic take on this style. I love when a barrel-aged beer can maintain a nice, thick body, and this did so rather well. I only had a Bligh's once, and I think this one holds up to it, but honestly I cannot make too genuine a comparison. I hope they bring this to the Boulder Strong Ale fest, because I want to have it next to others of the same style. Cheers.

Those of you that have coached can tell me whether I'm really off-base, and I'm sure you will : ) I have followed with interest the discussion about the qualifications of Sean Kugler and Al Everest, our new O line and Special Teams coaches. Since both were let go by their previous teams at the end of the season, and since neither the Bills nor the 49ers are teams we wish to emulate, there was some concern that this isn't a step up. Actually, it looks to me like the league just recycles each other's leftovers. But my theory is that this doesn't matter all that much. Even if these two men aren't the most talented to ever coach at their positions, and even if they are in fact a step down from the two coaches we fired, I think that we may see an improvement next year that can be attributed to the coaching, irrespective of any personnel upgrades. (Just to be clear, I'm not actually making any claims about either the previous or new coaches - how would I know? I'm making the statement for the purpose of the following discussion.) (more after the jump)
Why do I think that we may well see an improvement in both the O line and the Special Teams, regardless of the talent of the new coaches? I believe that because teaching is a tricky thing. One would assume that there is a one-to-one relationship between the knowledge level of the teacher and the progress of the pupil, and one would, to a large extent, be wrong. Even those who are considered to be gifted teachers don't always produce the expected progress in a student. The problem is that learning isn't a linear process, especially in something that involves so many elements, both mental and physical, as blocking and tackling. As always I have to bring it back to what I know best, singing, and I do think that there are a number of parallels. Singing is partly about technique, partly about understanding, and partly about what, for lack of a better term, I call instinct. You would assume that there is a "correct" way to sing, and physiologically that is true, but how the correct muscular state is achieved can appear to be radically different between different singers. So for instance if one were to watch a dvd of Kathleen Battle singing without having the sound on, one would assume that the voice you would hear would be appalling. And yet she can do anything with her voice, and the sound is gorgeous, which indicates that the state of her vocal mechanism is very close to ideal, despite her contorted and tense-looking production. Conversely one can see singers that appear to be doing everything 'right' and yet the sound is not beautiful - thus there is some technical problem in the production that doesn't show from the outside.
Over the years I have played for singers from many different studios, and of course I had my opinions about which were the better teachers. Yet when a student switched studios, even from one who I felt was an excellent teacher to one I felt was not particularly good, the student almost always made immediate improvement. After many years of observing this phenomena I have come to the conclusion that, like most of us, voice teachers as a rule (and most likely coaches as well) have only a few ways to say what they want. Then, like Americans in foreign countries so often do, they just repeat what they already said, only louder, expecting that to somehow effect the comprehension of the hapless non-English-speaking person (or the student) at the receiving end. Thus, when a student changes studios, they hear essentially the same things as their previous teacher was saying, since everyone wants the same result, and physiologically speaking there is only one way to achieve that. However, the new teacher hears and sees somewhat different things, and likely has a different way of addressing the problems. This helps the student to understand what the issues are in the first place. In my experience it is a very rare teacher who is capable of connecting with the learning styles of all of their students.
Football might seem rather different than singing. After all, in singing much of what is happening mechanically is not only invisible but is occurring in a mechanism that is by and large not under the conscious control of the singer. What a football player is doing seems to be more visible. But I think that is an illusion. The reaction times and thought processes are occurring in such minute amounts of time that the process has to be essentially instinctive. Yes, the 'technique' can be taught in both cases, but ultimately the execution has to be primarily at a non-intellectual level.
And does it make a difference if the players like their coach, or a singer likes their teacher? Well, I would guess that this might make more difference in football. After all, singing teachers aren't asking their pupils to throw themselves into harm's way. But both coaches and teachers are asking for trust, and ultimately a liking for the coach or teacher is less important than respect for them. The important thing is the coach's ability to convey the necessary information in a way that the players can understand.
I expect somebody is going to give me a hard time because I've made it clear elsewhere that I'm a big fan of the traditional Rooney way of choosing a coach and then sticking with them for the long haul. But I think that the Head Coach/stable of assistants and position coaches allows for the ideal combination. You have a person who develops the overall strategy and can stay the course because their position is "safe." You then have the ground staff, as it were, who are working with the day-to-day development of the players, and if things are not going as well as you had hoped, you can shake things up a bit and give the players a fresh outlook. I'm rather tenderhearted and would never want to fire anyone, but I can see that it would sometimes make sense to start afresh.
So, in the end, if our new coaches are men of character, experience, and reasonable intelligence, I think that we can expect an exciting 'growth spurt' in our younger players in particular. And if the new coaches are actually an upgrade, so much the better!

South Georgia drug agents are canvassing stores looking for a dangerous strain of synthetic marijuana that sickened Georgians recently. But so far, they haven't found any.
The G-B-I declared "Crazy Clown" a controlled substance after it tested positive for a synthetic cannabinoid.
Several people were hospitalized in Brunswick after smoking it last month.
Albany Dougherty Drug Unit agents have been looking for the product since the G-B-I sent out a warning.
A.D.D.U. Commander Major Bill Berry said "From what we've checked since the news release and the warning on it, it appears it's been pulled from the shelf from most everywhere we've checked. That is good. We're thankful that people are understanding this is something very dangerous."
Major Berry said they will continue to check stores for "Crazy Clown", but they expect the manufacturers to come up with new names and ways to sell synthetic marijuana substances.

We now have a complete staff. A staff made up of teachers. A staff pasted together by trust. One way or another our whole staff has some type of connection. The combine is now over and I personally think we've learned alot. I also think I'm getting closer to figuring the twins out. One thing I am confident of is Emery making the right decisions heading into the new season. Unlike last year I think we have multiple picks that we can be happy with at the 20th slot in the draft. Grab your note pads and open your imagination as I take you into minds of the cerebral twins. Be sure to take notice of the draft grades in parenthesis.
On the roster: Jay Cutler, Matt Blanchard
Free Agent Targets: Josh McCown
Overview: We will not be drafting a quarterback in rounds 1 thru 5. If we get a quarterback in the 6th round he will be either a cerebral guy or a measurable guy. We dont have too many picks to play with so drafting a quarterback is not an option right now. We dont have too much cap space so dont expect to see a glamour pick free agency wise. The only way we sign a glamour FA quarterback is if everything else we do in free agency goes wrong. For those of you who think we should draft a quarterback shame on you. Our staff has not yet determined and rated the skill set of our current quarterbacks. And if you look at who will be available in free agency this year and next there is no better option than Cutler. If you look at who will be available in next years draft there is no absolute beast of a talent.
Final Word: Jay Cutler is our guy whether you like it or not.
Running Backs/Fullbacks
On the roster: Amarndo Allen, Khalil Bell,Matt Forte, Harvey Unga, Micheal Bush,Evan Rodriguez
Draft Targets: Johnathan Franklin(72.3), Zack Line(63.7), Christine Micheal(71.4)
Overview: If we made no moves at the runningback position in free agency or the draft i would be ok. We do have a need for a fullback so we may try to address that in the draft if one of our guys of interest fall into out hands. How we use E-Rod hasnt been determined just yet. Whether he is at fullback or H-back he will have more opportunities to touch the ball this year. We could get creative and line up Bush or Unga at fullback but we will let training camp determine that. Don't be surprised if we trade Bush for another draft selection and some cleared cap space. Our transition from supposed run offense to our now win-the-game-offense means Bush's value may not be as high as it was when we signed him. That does not mean that Bush isnt capable of succeeding in our offense so dont rule out the idea of keeping him.
The three backs the Bears have shown interest in tell me a couple things. After watching film Franklin is a lower-center-of-gravity version of Matt Forte. He could fall into the 3rd or 4th round, and depending on our options for that particular round he may be the last option on our board. Though Christine Micheal is one heck of a back that probally has no chance of falling to us i think the Bears have interest in Christine and Zack Line as fullbacks. They both would provide the needed power at the position and the ability to catch the ball. Unlike other fullbacks they will have ample opportunity to touch the ball. Dont sleep on Zack Line, he was one heck of a runningback. If you look at Zack Line's draft grade i think we can definitely pull that off in the 4th to 5th round area. Drafting a kid like Line will also solidify the idea of using E-Rod more like an H-back than fullback.Final Word: Having Forte is now a luxury rather than life or death. I think I like it that way.
Tight Ends
On the roster: Kyle Adams, Kellen Davis, Matt Spaeth, Gabe Miller, Fendi Onobum, Evan Rodriguez, Brody Eldridge
Free Agent Target: Martellus Bennett, Brandon Myers, Ed Dickson
Draft Targets: Tyler Eifert(83.3), Zach Ertz(82.2), Gavin Escobar(79.0), Joseph Fauria(60.8), Travis Kelce(80.0), Vance McDonald(76.0), Ryan Otten(62.2), Jack Doyle(n/a), Zach Sudfield(n/a), T.J. Knowles(n/a)
Overview: Maybe we can finally see a tight end involved in our offense. I think we will see that this year. As much as i've enjoyed the thought of Eifert catching the ball from Cutler i dont think it's gonna happen. I'm looking at the confirmed interest we have in a kid like Jack Doyle, and im looking at all the tight ends we already have on the roster and i dont think we will be drafting a tight end higher than the fourth round. I beleive this problem will get resolved in free agency or by numbers. When i say numbers i think we are going to give so many guys the opportunity to compete one will show up as a winner for the position. Regardless of who we line up at tight end the play calling will work to the players strengths according to Marc Trestman.
Martellus Bennett could definitely get the job done in our offense but i dont think we will want to spend the money he will be asking for. Myers was Oakland's Brandon Marshall. He was the reliable target on every play. So the addition of Myers would definitely take some pressure off of Marshall. Dickson has yet to hit his peak and he could definitely get the job done in Chicago. Thinking in the mindset of Phil Emery these free agents would fall right in tune with this years class of tight ends, if not ahead of them. If you are thinking of the other free agent tight ends i think they throw up more red flags than the three i chose. Dustin Keller is getting old and is battling the injury bug. Delanie Walker is old and undersized. And Anthony Fansano is a mediocre pass catcher and getting close to being old too. So factor that into your thinking as we try to assume what the Bears will do in regard to solving our tight end dilemma.
Eifert is ahead of the class by leaps and bounds. In my eyes my liking for Ertz regressed after watching him at the combine. He is still good but not to the level i had him in my mind. Though McDonald was a combine stud there still seems to be something missing from him. I'm just not sure what it is. I wouldnt fuss about drafting him but he teeters more toward the bust side than the boom side. The two guys i would be happy with are Kelce and Escobar. Though Gavin ran a slow 40 time his shuttle and 3 cone were outstanding and that speaks volumes to me in the manner of running a route or getting open on a quarterback scramble. I would also be ok with Otten,Sudfield, and Fauria trying to compete for the position. But i would also be ok without them if you get my point. One person to watch out for at his pro-day is a kid named T.J. Knowles. He is a 6'8 254 tight end at Sacremento State. Just his height alone makes him worthy of a closer look.Final Word: I believe we will head into a a new season with a different tight end. As long as they prove to be better than Kellen Davis im good.
Wide Receivers
On the roster: Joe Anderson, Earl Bennett, Devin Hester, Alshon Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall, Eric Weems, Dale Moss, Terrance Tolliver, Brittan Golden
Free Agent Targets: Brandon Banks
Draft Targets: Tyrone Goard(56.0), Tavon Austin(85.4), Stedman Bailey(79.0), T.J. Moe(60.00, Ryan Spadola(51.0), Ryan Swope(67.4), Connor Vernon(55.4)
Honorable Mentions: Marlon brown(52.6), Brandon Kaufman(68.0), Rodney Smith(65.8), Jasper Collins, Reggie Dunn, Charles Hawkins
Overview: If we didn't make any moves regarding this group we would still have a better receiving corp than alot of teams. It looks like we were sure to sign up receivers early this offseason to see if any of these young guys can fit in Trestman's offense before they signed anywhere else. If we decide not to sign the Awesome Tavon Austin in the first round then I dont expect us to add to this group until the fourth thru sixth round. From the interest we've shown to a guy named Tyrone Goard and Emery's admitting we need more speed i think we have two needs at receiver to fill. Emery wants to make sure we have a back-up big body to put behind Marshall or Alshon if either one them goes down. And he wants to make sure we can add a burner in the mix. If for some reason we dont add another dynamic receiver dont be surprised to see Eric Weems role be expanded.
The new coaching regime is attacking the Hester situation differently then the old. They have confirmed Hester will compete for our returner positions but we have yet to hear about him and our offense. This different approach works out for the better. Hester will have the opportunity to have a role in our offense but if it doesn't work out then there are no disappointments because we arent expecting it. If Hester decides to retire or somehow gets traded then we have a need to fill at the returner position. Even if Hester remains the returner position needs to be something we address. Please do not expect Weems to be a starting returner because that's what mediocre teams allow, and Trestman wont settle for mediocre.
Before i discuss the receivers of interest i will address the receivers we need not to show interest in. Kenny Stills(66) took the spotlight with his speed and he has some very good film. But one thing that came out in combine workouts is his lack of ability to run routes correctly. If our staff is willing to accept him as a student he would definitely be somebody we look at. But i dont think we will go that route. Yes Marcus Wheaton(81.8) is fast but he also showed the same lack of ability to run routes during his workout. Robert Woods(83.1) was awesome but he will be taken in the 2nd round and that is one round i guarantee you we dont draft a receiver. Marquise Goodwin(68.6) stole the show from receivers not named Tavon Austin, but he is better at running the 40 than being a receiver. He may have potential but he wont be in our plans. Corderalle Patterson(90.6) is another guy that got alot of spotlight but he too showed he cant run routes very well. Quinton Patton(83.8) is a guy i would love to have on this team but he will be long gone before we even eye receivers not named Tavon Austin. Alot of us including I spoke of settling for Ace Sanders in the later rounds but i've now changed my mind. His film is awesome, but after the combine workouts you take notice of how limited Ace is. I was not impressed by Ace's workout. Since we have a limited number of picks i think we take a pass on him.
But, if we do have such a interest in a guy like Ace Sanders(68.0) for his return ability and what he could possibly bring our offense in the likeness of Tavon Austin i think we should look into a young free agent by the name of Brandon Banks.
A possible interest in Tavon Austin needs not to be explained, it's obvious. Tyrone Goard is a 6'7 receiver, that in itself speaks for itself. Stedman Bailey can definitely be the dynamic guy we need in our offense. He is more than capable of being one of Jay's favorite targets. Ryan Spadola and Ryan Swope are our back-ups to missing out on a Tavon Austin. They ran nice routes and displayed a decent pair of hands so we have to keep them on our radar. T.J. Moe's 40 might not have been pretty, but look at everything else he did during his combine workout. Connor Vernon was by far the best catcher and student of the position at the combine. If he would've had a fast 40 he would be a lock for the first two rounds. But since he was slow we may get the opportunity to add him to our roster. Both T.J. and Connor's skill set fit perfectly in Trestman's offense. The good thing with drafting these two or picking them up as undrafted free agents is the fact we wont have to sacrifice anything.
The honorable mentions are some low key guys that we may sign as undrafted free agents. Marlon Brown, Brandon Kaufman, and Rodney Smith all cover our need for more height. Marlon Brown is a special receiver with plenty of upside but he just cant seem to stay healthy. Jasper Collins, Reggie Dunn, and Charles Hawkins are a couple low key guys that may turn out to be a gem if given an opportunity.
Final Word: You will notice that i critiqued a couple good receivers pretty hard but you must be mindful that our new offense will be built on discipline and perfection of route. The receivers Trestman has inherited are under contract but who we sign from this point on i expect to be considered good route runners. Defensive Line
On the roster: Matt Toeina, Stephen Paea, Shea McClellin, Cheda Ozuougwa, Julius Peppers, Corey Wooten, Aston Whiteside
Free Agent Targets: Nick Collins, Henry Melton, Amobi Okoye, Isreal Idonije
Draft Targets: Margus Hunt(82.4), Brandon Williams (73.2)
Overview: This is one position that i think we got covered pretty good. We just have to make sure the revolving door brings in quality. Forget all the schemes about what to do with Melton. Whether we franchise or sign we gotta keep him. Nick Collins had plenty of bright moments and its much easier to keep him then to try to replace him with an unknown. I also expect us to re-sign Amobi so he can compete against an unknown for a roster spot. We definitely have to re-sign Izzy because we know what he brings to the table at the end position and lined up inside.
The Bears have been connected with both Margus Hunt and Brandon Williams. Hunt is a mammoth of a defensive end with speed, and Williams is one Hurculean chested defensive tackle with power and quickness. If either our second or fourth round doesn't go as planned and one of these two guys are still available we wont hesitate to pull the trigger on picking them.
Last Word: Shea McClellin better come ready to show us why he was picked in the first round.
On the Roster: Lance Briggs, Blake Costanzo, Dom Decicco, Jerry Franklin, Geno Hayes, J.T. Thomas, Patrick Trahan,Lawrence Wilson
Free Agent Targets: Brian Urlacher, Nick Roach
Draft Targets: Manti Te'o(87.5), Micheal Mauti(71.8), Arthur Brown(90.3), Alec Ogletree(84.0), Matt Evans(n/a), Keith Pough(70.5), Tom Wort(57), A.J. Klein(56.3), Zavier Gooden(70.0), Khaseem Greene(78.8)
Overview: As much as we would like to replace Urlacher with something great this year i dont think it's gonna happen, and i think Emery will take notice of that as well. Even with all the hype surrounding Manti two things can happen, either he will be taken before us or Emery may choose to pass up on him and possibly take him at 50. But i think we make the committment to re-sign Urlacher and draft a guy that could grow into being out next MLB. A couple low key guys that could fall under that umbrella of Urlacher heirs are Mauti, Evans, Wort, and Klein. If we decide to let Roach go or look for the next Briggs we may find interest in Brown, Ogletree, or Pough. Those of you who think Ogletree is our next MLB are mistaken. He would get ran over everday and all day. Two names that i had to put on this list are Greene and Gooden. Gooden is the closest thing you are gonna get to Urlacher in this draft. His college career and draft highly resemble Urlacher's fall into playing middle linebacker. Urlacher was drafted as an OLB. Gooden is an OLB who would have to mature into the middle spot. There is nothing special about Khaseem Greene but he is more than capable at lining up at one of our linebacker positions.
With the interest the Bears have shown in Matt Evans i wouldnt be surprised if we add two young guys to see if they are capable of filling Urlachers shoes after his departure. The guy i would like to see replace Urlacher is Tom Wort. Picking him up while Urlacher is present would be the best way to groom this young man for greatness.
Final Word: I think we go into the year with the same linebackers as last year, but I believe we will draft a future answer to one of our linebacker positions.
On our Roster: Chris Conte, Anthony Walters, Major Wright, Brandon Hardin, Craig Steltz, Tim Jennings, Charles Tillman, Isaih Frey, Sherrick McMannis, Lequan Lewis, Cyhl Quarles, Tom Nelson
Free Agent Targets: Zack Bowman, Kelvin Hayden
Draft Targets: Josh Evans(68.0), Bradley McDougald(54.8), Tyrann Mathieu(73.0)
Overview: This group is another strength on our team. Just think last off season this group was considered a weakness. We have three corners from last years roster that are free agents and until we determine who our next star corner will be we have to re-sign at least two of them. I expect us to re-sign Bowman and Hayden. D.J. will be the odd man out. Neither Bowman nor Hayden were spectacular but until we find an able replacement they will be on the team. The two Safeties weve shown interest in at the draft are going to be special teams guys who probally will go in the last two rounds or undrafted. If either one of them are undrafted expect us to scoop him up. I feel obligated to put Tyrann on this list because the kid has talent, and for two i dont think we will pass up the idea of drafting him late. He is everything we look for in a nickel back. His presence would allow us to let either Bowman or Hayden walk. If we can convince Tyrann to hit the weight room he could possibly replace Jennings in a year or two. His off the field issues don't really bother me too much. Until I see it come up after being drafted I cant and wont hold it against him.
Final Word: We have to find youth at the corner position. Im sure the Bears will identify someone at a pro-day
Offensive Lineman
On the Roster: Cory Branden, James Brown, Gabe Carimi, J'marcus Webb, Edwin Williams, Derek Dennis, Reggie Stephens, Nick Peischel, Roberto Garza
Free Agent Targets: Johnathan Scott, Lance Louis, Louis Vasquez, Jake Long, Andy Levitre
Draft Targets: Terron Armstead(73.0), Braxton Cave(57.3), Johnathon Cooper(86.9), D.J. Fluker(85.5), Reid Fragel(77.0),, Rogers Gaines(60.9), Lane Johnson(86.9), Barret Jones(85.1), Kyle Long(77.0), Luke Marquardt(68.1), Vinston Painter(51.0), David Quessenberry(69.2), Brian Schwenke(71.0), Menelik Watson(76.0), Larry Warford(85.3)
Overview: As I look at our active roster I realize how young we are. With a couple additions this group could be a coaches dream. Youth isn't much without talent but we have some young guys with ability. Because Scott did such a good job coming in for Carimi you have to bring him back and actually label him as the starter at RT until Carimi or someone else beats him out. Lance Louis is young and talented so we definitely have to re-sign him and give him the opportunity to retain his position. Hopefully Lance can have a full recovery from surgery.
The demand for Jake Long is unpredictable but I definitely think our staff is considering it. Regardless of whether we pull the trigger to get Jake Long we will still get an additional tackle in the draft. At guard Louis Vasquez is a possibility for us but he is more likely to be re-signed by the Chargers. The one guard who will be available is Andy Levitre and I think we should be in attack mode to attain him. With only five draft picks we must do as much as we can in free agency.
After watching what film I could and watching every second of the combine this group of Draft targets can definitely help us in our quest to protect Jay Cutler. Im not a fan of picking D.J. Fluker in the draft, but if we do, that may be an indication that we move Carimi to guard. I think that possible move is the reason we decided to look at D.J. Fluker. I did not list Fredericks because he wont fall to us at 50. I added Luke, Gaines, Vinston, and Fragel to the list because they could be late round or undrafted projects.
Final Word: I believe we will walk away from our offseason with a capable guard, and a young tackle and center. If we shore things up this offseason we wont have to worry for a couple years.

WALKER COUNTY, GA (WRCB) -- Jimmy Cardin's daughter, Carmen Webb, says it simply hadn't clicked. She was 9, her sister Lena, 7, when Harrell Ernest Hulsey was shot to death in the office of his used car lot in Rossville in February 1979.
Neither she, nor Lena had been to the site since.
"The day when they ran the Cold Cases story on TV 30 years later--that's when me and my sister both knew, Oh No," she says. "We didn't know his name. We didn't even know the man had died until 30 years afterward."
"As you're growing up in the lifestyle, you didn't talk about it."
Cardin's lifestyle, Webb claims, focused on drinking, and the real sources of the income that allowed them to live in comfortable houses and wear nice clothes: big-money drug dealing, and high-stakes dog fighting.
"Most of the time we was with him at the dog fights and the drug dealing. We was always riding with him."
Hulsey's car lot 'Sonny's,' was a frequent hangout and fighting arena, Walker County detectives say.
And the fighting, Webb, believes, was her father's motive to commit murder. "He (Cardin) was mad over a dog. I think he said something like' I'll show him or something like that.'"
"He got out, got something from behind the seat, went into the building-you heard it."
Gunshots. Hulsey took a .38 slug in his upper left abdomen, according to Sheriff's reports. And he (Cardin) came back and made a statement to the effect that that takes care of that," Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson quotes from his investigator's notes.
Sheriff Wilson and Cold Case Det. Sights. Jeff Herpst and Ritchie Dye aren't that surprised that Hulsey's murder yielded few leads or definitive witnesses.
"I think it was friends covering friends, more or less," Sgt. Dye says.
"You have to realize it was her Daddy," Sheriff Wilson explains. Would she want to tell on her Dad? Obviously not."
"He (Cardin) thought we were too young," Webb says. "So he thought whatever we told the detective wasn't gonna count against him."
Webb did talk, after a confidential source made Herpst and Dye aware of her information.
They asked her to take a polygraph exam, to relay the account of the crime. Investigators concluded that her exam showed no deception.
Investigators say that Cardin's terms of parole from a drug conviction in Gordon County forced him to submit to a polygraph exam in April 2008.
"He failed two critical questions," Sheriff Wilson says, in relaying the examiner's report. "Did you shoot Hulsey, and where you there when he was shot."
"We were getting close to presenting it to a grand jury or making an arrest when his death occurred."
Cardin died in a four-car pileup on Battlefield Parkway in LaFayette, April 30, 2009. "I think it was suicide," Carmen says.
"It would be improper to say it was anything other than an accident," Sheriff Wilson says. "We don't have enough."
But Carmen is convinced. "He knew that he was guilty and he knew he was fixin'' to go to prison because of this."
She calls it the coward's way out, after years of violent anger that Cardin often would turn on his own family. "He whupped on me. He did several different (sexual) things to me, but not my sister."
Webb says the abuse stopped at age 12, when her mother divorced her father.
"I've loved him because he's my Dad," she says. "But when he died, I was relieved. Because it was finally over." Since Cardin's death, she and one of Hulsey's sons have reached out to one another via email.
This week, the Lookout Mountain District Attorney's Office effectively closed the case via letter, writing "there would have been sufficient evidence to prosecute (Jimmy Cardin Jr.) for the murder."
Friday, Hulsey's son Matthew issued a written statement on behalf of his siblings.
"We would like to thank Sheriff Wilson and Det. Sergeants Jeff Herpst and Ritchie Dyefor theirtireless efforts and professionalism in solving the case. Also District Attorney Herbert Franklin for taking the time to review the evidence when there was no opportunity for prosecution. We would also like to thank MR. Cardin's daughter for having the courage to come forward and tell the truth. We have no animosity toward that family and our thoughts and prayers are withthem. We ask that all media outlets respect our privacy. We have no interest in being interviewed. We ask that you allow our family to move on as we now have closure."
Webb's younger sister, Lena McGowan, also seeks privacy.
"I'm still working through this," McGowan tells Channel 3 in a brief telephone interview. "I didn't take a polygraph (at the time) because I knew whatever I said would hurt him."
"I know he did it. But he's still my Dad."

Ten Nature Conservancy preserves chosen as "Wetland Gems"
Tue, Jun 02, 2009 at 04:33 PM
By The Nature Conservancy
The Nature Conservancy is pleased to announce that 10 of its nature preserves have been recognized as outstanding examples of Wisconsin's remaining wetlands by the Wisconsin Wetlands Association (WWA).
According to WWA, the "Wetland Gems" are sites that serve as high quality representatives of the vast, diverse and wonderful wetland riches that are a part of Wisconsin's landscapes — marshes, swamps, bogs, fens and more. They provide important habitat for fish, frogs and other wildlife; perform valuable ecological services including floodwater retention and offer recreational and educational opportunities.
Nature Conservancy sites chosen as Wetland Gems include:
Chiwaukee Prairie, Kenosha County
Kangaroo Lake, Door County
Lulu Lake, Walworth and Waukesha counties
Mink River Estuary, Door County
North Bay, Door County
Page Creek Marsh, Marquette County
Quincy Bluff & Wetlands, Adams County
Fond du Lac and Winnebago counties
Summerton Bog, Marquette County
Waubesa Wetlands, Dane County
Since European settlement in the early 1800s, nearly half of Wisconsin's original 10 million acres of wetlands have been drained or filled to make way for land uses like agriculture, forestry and development. A large portion of the five million remaining acres have been altered and degraded, which only heightens the value of the high quality wetland treasures that remain.
For almost 50 years, The Nature Conservancy and its supporters have protected wetlands, forests, prairies and other native habitats in Wisconsin for the benefit of people and nature.
Conservancy preserves are open to the public for hiking, bird-watching, hunting, cross-country skiing, canoeing and other types of outdoor recreation. We invite you to visit one of these Wetland Gems and experience the beauty and diversity of one of Wisconsin's richest and most vulnerable native habitats.

Enjoy our round-up of ten mobile phone related news stories you may have missed including talk of Samsung missing Mobile World Congress, the UK launch of the Nokia Lumia 620 and a peak at the ZTE Grand Memo.
1. Samsung May Skip Mobile World Congress
Nokia is going to be there, but HTC has decided it would rather hold its new product launch before Mobile World Congress starts, and now it's rumoured Samsung will be doing the same. According to a report, Samsung will hold off launching any major new products at the Barcelona trade show, just as it did last year. Samsung hasn't confirmed the rumour, so all we can do is wait for news of an Unpacked event either before or shortly after Mobile World Congress 2013.
2. ZTE Grand Memo Makes its Debut in Hong Kong
The ZTE Grand Memo could be one of the new devices the firm has scheduled for an MWC launch, and it made a surprise appearance at an event in Hong Kong this week. Equipped with a massive 5.7-inch screen, a 13 megapixel camera, a 1.7GHz processor and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, it's likely to go head-to-head with Huawei's Ascend Mate and the current leader of the pack, the Samsung Galaxy Note II.
3. Samsung Pretties Up The Galaxy S III
Samsung will release its Galaxy S III, S III Mini, Ace 2 and several other phones in modified La Fleur versions in time for Valentine's Day. The La Fleur series takes an existing device and adds flowery artwork, bright colour schemes and pretty software themes to them, which apparently makes them more attractive to girls. They're popular in Russia apparently, and that's where this new range will make its debut on 14 February.
4. Nokia Introduces the Lumia 620 to the UK
Nokia has made the decision to release the Lumia 620 in the UK through O2, Three and Virgin Mobile, with Vodafone joining them later in February. The phone has a 3.8-inch screen, a 1GHz dual-core processor and a 5 megapixel camera. Originally announced last year, it runs Windows Phone 8 and you can read our review of the latest Lumia here
5. EE Adds More 4G Coverage
EE continues to expand the UK's maiden 4G LTE network and has added another nine cities to its coverage list. The lucky cities are Amersham, Hemel Hempstead, Stockport, Bolton, Chelmsford, Southend-on-Sea, Sunderland and Sutton Coldfield. EE claims with these new locations, it now covers 45% of the country with its super-fast network.
6. HTC Desire U Launched
HTC has announced a new budget Android phone named the Desire U. It has a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM, plus a 4-inch touchscreen, Beats Audio, 4GB of storage memory and a 5 megapixel camera. While the phone is official, there are no details on the cost or where the Desire U will be sold.
7. Windows Phone 7.8 Has Arrived for Nokia Lumia Phones
The wait is finally over for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.8 software update, as Nokia has announced the new version is now available for its Lumia 510, 610, 710, 800 and 900 Windows Phone 7 handsets. Owners should look out for a notification appearing in the next few weeks, although those with devices locked to a network may be waiting a while longer. Windows Phone 7.8 adds the Windows Phone 8 Start screen and its resizable Live Tiles, along with a few other features. You can see a demo and instructions on how to apply the update in this video
8. ZTE Announces the V81 Tablet, But Leaves Out Some Important Information
A new tablet from ZTE has popped up on its website. Named the V81, it features an 8-inch screen with a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution, a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, 4GB of storage and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It could have a built-in SIM slot along with a full-size USB and HDMI port too, but the spec sheet isn't completely clear on the matter. Those aren't the only mysterious aspects of the V81 either, as there's no price or release date for the tablet. We expect we'll hear more at MWC, and hope it comes in at a reasonable price.
9. White Nexus 4 Spotted
LG's Nexus 4 has proven difficult enough to find in its standard black colour scheme, but if the gorgeous white version seen in these leaked pictures is destined for sale, it may sell out even faster. The photos certainly show a genuine-looking Nexus 4 with a white finish – the sparkly back is even more attractive – but there's a chance it could be a prototype which will never be released. For now, then, it remains a tantalising prospect.
10. LG Spirit Launched in the U.S.
A new LG smartphone has been launched on the U.S. network MetroPCS. Called the LG Spirit, it has a 4.5-inch screen, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 5 megapixel camera and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It also has 4G LTE connectivity. MetroPCS is different to other U.S. carriers, as it doesn't tie its subscribers into a lengthy contract, and the Spirit costs $199 (£125) making it one of the better priced options available.

A tweet from a sports agent's daughter sent the Web into a tizzy over rumors that the Kings are about to become the new SuperSonics.
UNCONFIRMED: NBA team the Sacramento Kings have been sold and will move to Seattle
It's no rumor that a group of investors are in the midst of grand plans to build a new sports arena and lure an NBA team and possibly an NHL team to the Emerald City. What is a rumor -- as reported by the Sacramento Bee, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Sports Illustrated -- is that the plan has taken a giant leap forward with the sale of the Sacramento Kings to that very group of Seattle investors.
'Not true,' say Kings
After initially remaining silent on the rumored sale, a Kings spokesperson later told CBS Sacramento that "rumors regarding the team being sold are simply not true." Meanwhile, hedge fund manager Chris Hansen, the head of the investor group, has yet to comment (find out how much Hansen has offered to pay for the Kings).
A tweet that started it all
A food blogger might seem a strange source for starting a sports rumor that catches like wildfire, but Daina Falk isn't only a food blogger, she's also the daughter of big-name sports agent David Falk; so when she tweeted news of the supposed sale, ears perked up (find Falk on Twitter). Perhaps more telling than Falk's tweet has been the relative silence by those who could dispel the rumor. Kings spokesman Eric Rose said that the team is not commenting on the supposed sale, and hedge fund manager Chris Hansen, the head of the Seattle investor group, has yet to comment (find out how much Hansen has offered to pay for the Kings).
Kings' other destination falls through
The Kings-to-Seattle rumor comes on the heels of talks breaking down that could have sent the team to Virginia Beach, Va. As the Sacramento Bee reports, Virginia Beach halted its long-shot bid to lure the Kings. But where Virginia Beach's resources are few, Seattle's are many and most analysts suggest that the Pacific Northwest has the best chance of becoming the Kings' new home (see all the latest coverage on the rumor).

Ok guys... I just want to throw a few things against the wall here and let me know if it sticks here.
1) Daniel Thomas amazingly showed his nose for the "10 yard run". He was known for this in college, most runs of 10+ yards in college football history. Its a very unique skill, though he doesnt break the 20+ yard runs he just has a nack for ripping off the 10-12 yarders. I'm very impressed that this has carried over into the NFL and it was not one of those random stats.
2) Agree with most posters that the loss is not on Henne. He played well enough to win the game. Offensive line should have protected better ESPECIALLY given the way we were pounding the rock w/ Thomas. Dline shoulda been on their heels more.
3) Ok, granted we shouldnt have been in the dire situation in the first place if not for Carpenter not showing up for the game today and us not executing in the redzone (again). But really Sparano... we were running roughshot on them ALL day long and you don't have the balls to go for it on 4th and 1 with 8 minutes left down two scores?????? Are you serious? What kind of nonsense is that? And can you PLEASE stop celebrating every touchdown as if you are a player Sparano. Act like you've been there before and celebrate after the game. You are really embarrassing us. Please tell me you agree with this phinsiders.
In short, we are who we thought we were...
- Henne's improved dramatically in his 3rd year,
- Daniel Thomas is a nice back with unique skills,
- Our line is well suited for run blocking, not pass blocking.
- Our D-line is solid but our secondary is young, weak at Safety and not deep at CB
all this adds up to being a slightly above average team that will not compete for a SB until we shore up those weak spots. Red-zone & third down efficiency, and getting lucky turnovers is the only thing that can hide these weaknesses and allow us to compete for the playoffs.

Public meeting about SFPUC's "Baker Beach Green Street" project, Oct. 17

between the Lands End trailhead and the Legion of Honor
On Thursday, October 17, the SFPUC is hosting a public meeting about their upcoming Baker Beach Green Street project, designed to manage stormwater and improve water quality at Baker Beach.
The project is focused on enhancements in two corridors: El Camino Del Mar between the Legion of Honor and the Lands End Trailhead, and on Sea Cliff Avenue between 25th and 26th Avenues.
From the project website:
During heavy rains, stormwater can overwhelm the City's combined sewer system and contribute to neighborhood flooding and discharges into the San Francisco Bay and Pacific Ocean. Rain gardens, permeable paving, and other green infrastructure technologies are stormwater management technologies that take advantage of the natural processes of soils and plants to slow down and divert stormwater runoff so it does not overwhelm the sewer system. Green infrastructure also cleans stormwater onsite before it enters our sewer system.
The Baker Beach Green Street is one of eight green infrastructure projects the SFPUC is planning to build throughout the City in the next few years. These projects are part of the Sewer System Improvement Program (SSIP), a multi-billion dollar citywide investment to upgrade our aging sewer infrastructure now and for generations to come.
The project's goals are to improve water quality at Baker Beach and China Beach and reduce localized flooding by integrating rain gardens into existing parkland and neighborhood, and introducing permeable concrete to reduce stormwater runoff.
The October 17 Community Open House will be the first community gathering about the project, which is in planning mode until next summer. Designs will be finalized from Summer 2014 to Spring 2015, with construction kicking off in summer 2015 and lasting until Summer 2016.
The meeting will take place from 6:30pm until 8pm at Katherine Delmar Burke School, 7070 California near 32nd Avenue.
Thanks to reader Amy for the tip.
