You may have seen this post in which I gave some general scouting data on the 2013 Aggies. On the heels of that, I thought it would be fun to show some pictures and video (do gif's count as video?) of a few pass plays the Aggies run.
Much has been written and discussed about the Aggie offense and it's "air raid" lineage and some of the common plays that usually show up with those types of teams. When watching the game, whether in person or on t.v., it's often hard to notice what is going on, either because we are so naturally focused on watching the ball or because the camera angle doesn't show us the whole field. The plays below are just a few that I pulled out that seem to fit the bill as examples of common air raid plays.
A couple weeks ago, I broke down one play that the Aggies like and have used with great success. The ones below don't have nearly as much detail on my part, mostly because I really don't know very much. As I've said before, I am like the self-appointed Brian Fellow of Aggie football. The fictional Jack Hannah-wannabe Brian Fellow "is not an accredited zoologist, nor does he hold an advanced degree in any environmental science," he is "an enthusiastic young man with a sixth grade education and an abiding love for all of God's creatures. Similarly, I am not an accredited coach or analyst and have never played organized football at a level higher than private Lutheran school flag football. (Once got suspended for a game in 8th grade for forging- quite badly- my mother's signature.) I do have an abiding love for Texas A&M and football in general though, so here we are.
This first play is the famous "mesh" play. Mesh is basically a play that has two receivers each run shallow crosses from opposite sides of the field. As a kid telling your buddies what to do, you would have simply told your receivers to run crossing routes. Aside from those two routes, teams do a lot of different things with the other receivers. So in this case, A&M will run a 2x2 formation and the two inside receivers will run shallow crossing routes. Here's the pre-snap look.
(One little note that may only be interesting to me since I chart every game and notice random stuff like this: Probably 98% of the time, on the left side of the field, Derel Walker will line up farthest outside, and the slot receiver will line up...in the slot. But every once in a while, maybe 2% of the time or less, Walker will come inside and the normal slot receiver will go out wide. Why? I suppose for match-up reasons. Maybe we're setting something up. I don't know. In either case, Walker is still on the LOS, and the normal slot receiver is still off the LOS, therefore eligible to go in motion. If you're wondering, as far as I've seen, we haven't done that same thing on the right of the field a single time this season. Evans has lined up out wide every single snap. On the right. Every time.)
At the snap, Sabian Holmes (the bottom receiver) is out of view so I don't know what route he runs, but from watching the defenders, it's something short. A little stop route or something. On the top though, Mike Evans is up there preparing to dominate. He runs about a 15 yard in route.
Arkansas has one deep safety, and from watching, I'm not exactly sure what they're deep coverage is (with combo coverages and a general lack of knowledge, I have a hard time figuring out sometimes... the corner up top confuses me so I can't tell if he's in man or zone) but the underneath coverage is all zone. With the deep safety and the corner above Evans both staying deep, Johnny now just has to look at the linebackers. If they drop to take away Evans, he would hit one of the shallow crosses. If the linebackers stay shallow, which they do, he throws it over them and hits Evans. Here's the result.
Now this next one also features a shallow cross from one wide receiver, but this time the other receivers are running more vertical routes and it clears out the underneath space for the shallow cross. Here's the pre-snap look and then the result. Again, we can't see the specifics of the other receivers, but clearly the linebackers in the middle drop deep so then the underneath is wide open and it's an easy read for Johnny.
And here's a second example of the same play with the same read made.
Another play that is common and is very simple is to just have your slot receivers run out routes after the outside receivers have cleared the area with go routes. Here we do it against Sam Houston from a 2x2 formation. We do this a few times a game.
This second gif below is the same route combination against Bama with the pass going deep to Evans. Bama just had a single high safety on that one and as soon as Johnny sees that the safety isn't going to be able to help on Evans, he goes ahead and throws it deep even though the out route also looks open.
Finally, another common staple of our offense. The stick route. We run it from 3x1 formations and it is often packaged with a run option of one sort or another. The outside receiver runs a go route, the middle runs a quick out, and the inside receiver runs a stick (run three yards and stop, plant, turn and look for the ball). We've completed the stick several times. It's not typically a big gainer, but it's important because of the fact that defenses know that if they don't cover it, we will take the free yards every time... but if they do cover it, now they have one fewer defender in the box and we then have the option of handing the ball off instead of throwing the pass. Here are two examples, first showing what happens if the defender stays in the box (we throw to the open stick route) and the second showing what happens when the defender abandons the box and chases the stick route (we run, in this case, a draw).

Taking a (government) backhoe back home?
The Department of Energy is reportedly investigating allegations that a contractor employee borrowed a government-owned backhoe and took it to his home for personal use before returning it to the federal operations.
ES&H Inc. President Bill Garibay, whose company has a contract for road grading and maintenance on the Oak Ridge reservation, confirmed that the allegations had been made regarding one of his employees, adding, "We're still investigating. We're looking at it very firm, and I can't say much more."
DOE spokesman Michael Koentop said, "We're received allegations of unauthorized personal use of government equipment by a contractor employee. The matter is still under investigation. We will provide more information as it becomes available."
The unconfirmed report I received is that a backhoe allegedly was taken from the Perimeter Road area near the former K-25 uranium-enrichment plant.
I so not doubt this at all. after awhile some people get a feeling of entitlement and just help their self to what ever they want. I have seen this first hand .


text: Let's face it… goths need pinups too, and Marilyn Manson just doesn't cut it. Armed with boyish charm and a synth-pop arsenal come Orgy, pretty boys in shiny cosmetics, thrift store finery and shimmering designer garb, with "Candyass", a stunning, sensual, intelligent neo-glam record that will have any child of the dark peeing their pvc pants after one listen. Although released on Korn's new label, Elementree Records, "Candyass" sounds nothing like their House-of-Pain-meets-Ozzy rock. Orgy also bear no resemblance to Manson's brand of pseudo-glam-crap. Some little "gofflings" with raccoon-on-acid eyeliner might like to think that, but the only similarities between the prince of satanic stupidity and Orgy frontman Jay Gordon are their gangly heights and the fact that they both wear makeup. Gordon has a sensuous voice that sounds something like the bastard-child of David Bowie and Trent Reznor, with a little Peter Murphy & Andrew Eldritch thrown in for fun. The music itself has a new-wavey, Depeche Mode/ Cure vibe, with lots of synth-guitar and drum machines. It's "Pretty Hate Machine" as engineered by demonic angels… a record to spin whether you're bouncing around, making out or festering in a bottomless pit of depression. The songs are lyrically amazing, despite the fact that the band swear they're all a bunch of fairytales. "Stitches" stands out as the most chilling, a story of the use and abuse of a significant other. There's even a cover on here: New Order's infamous 80's staple, "Blue Monday." Orgy preserve the song's original dancey beat while adding their own metallic touches. Orgy… the boys, the style, and most importantly, the music… are sexy, dark,and thought-provoking, yet fun. "Candy" is dandy… just taste it for yourself.

I am being serious here, not trying to be a wiseacre. Can someone explain why I should spend upwards of $200 for a carbon fiber Dodo? I mean, it's a cool-looking knife, no doubt, and it looks like it rides in the pocket very comfortably, but it seems like a lot of dough for what is immediately obvious to the naked eye over the Interwebz.
Again, I am asking you to educate me on what I'm missing, I'm not saying, "Man, are you guys stoopid for spending that kind of money on that crummy knife!"
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.

It has been a colourful life packed with drama, emotion and surprising twists, but few would imagine Tessa Dahl as a Bride of Christ.Share
But she has been living at Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut, for more than a month now. Despite an exotic past, Tessa is already following the Benedictine strictures, or some of them at least.
She is learning to make butter, spin yarn and is generally preparing herself for what she describes as a complete commitment to God.
There are sceptics, naturally – they recall the years Tessa spent at the feet of an Indian guru, accompanied by her young daughter.
But today, as Tessa explains why she wishes to enter a closed community of nuns, there is a different, more compelling logic than mere attention-seeking.
There is, for example, her estrangement from Sophie, apparently caused when Tessa made some unguarded comments to the Press.
More pertinently, Tessa's mother, the actress Patricia Neal, to whom she was so close, has recently died, leaving her bereft.
A woman who has spent her adult life struggling with herself and those around her seems finally to have found the one place ready to embrace her confusing world – Regina Laudis, the very institution that cared for her late mother as she entered her declining years.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles may be getting the first Latino fire chief in the department's 128-year history.
Ralph Terrazas was named to the job Tuesday by Mayor Eric Garcetti after a nationwide search.
Terrazas is an assistant chief and a 30-year department veteran.
If the City Council confirms his appointment, Terrazas will take charge of a department with 3,500 employees and a number of challenges. There have been scandals over poor emergency-response times and nepotism in hiring.
Garcetti says he wants Terrazas to cut those response times and reform the department.
Terrazas says he'll work on making the department more technologically sophisticated. He replaces former Chief Brian Cummings - who retired last October - and acting Chief James Featherstone.

Whether you believe 2010 was a breakout year or re-breakout year for Corey Hart, we can all appreciate his increase in production compared to 2008 and 2009. In my curiosity on what to expect from him in 2011, I delved deeper into his HRs last year and found reason to be optimistic.
I was especially curious as to whether Hart's hitting statistics could bring to light why he had such an increase in his HR rate. I came up with a few possibilities at the outset: a change in his swing in 2010, a higher contact rate, or just pure luck.
If he just made contact more, then that would be borne out in consistent rate statistics like HR/Hit. If he changed his swing, we'd expect different characteristics in his Home Runs. If it were just luck, then we wouldn't expect to see any systematic differences in his numbers between 2009 and 2010. Given the multitude of data sources, we can get some data on all of these.
The most straightforward are the rate statistics. You can find those on any website with standard batting statistics and I'll cite HR/Hit and HR/Balls In Play. Simply put, the more AB a player gets, the more HR he will hit.
Year HR/Hit HR/BIP
2010 0.20 0.074
2009 0.11 0.037
2008 0.12 0.038
2007 0.16 0.059
It's abundantly clear Hart was hitting with more power in 2010 than in 2009 and 2008 so he wasn't simply benefitting from more playing time.
The most interesting data come from Hit Tracker. Are these data perfect? No, but they're freely available and I believe they still serve to give us some insight here. A picture is worth a thousand words so here's the chart of his Speed of Bat and Angle of Elevation numbers from his HR in 2008/2009 vs. HR in 2010.
Hit hit 31 HR in 2008+2009 and 31 HR in 2010. The statistics in the above chart work out to an average of 105.2 mph SOB with 24.9 degrees AOE in 2008/09 compared to 102.2 mph SOB with 29.4 degrees AOE in 2010. While these numbers are variable from year to year, I think even an exahustive analysis would show both of those numbers to be significantly different.
Finally, Texas Leaguers PITCHf/X gives us his spray chart for 2009 and 2010. It looks like Hart was hitting for more power to all fields in 2010. Like most available data, the spray chart isn't 100% accurate, but it gives us enough of a picture to conclude that he had plenty of power to left and "just enough" power to center and right field.
Hart 2010:
Hart 2009:
I think it's safe to say Hart had a marked difference in his approach at the plate between 2009 and 2010. His 2010 season wasn't just a fluke. His HR swing now looks like an easy swing intended to make consistent contact, driving the ball especially well to left field.
Corey Hart's final 2011 HR total will depend heavily on his "just enough" vs. warning track shots to center and right field. If he makes no improvements in 2011, I'd expect to see between 25 and 35 HR. If he can manage to make another leap, then those warning track shots to right field could start going over the fence. With a few breaks Hart could even approach the 40-HR plateau.

Ryan Braun was hit in the elbow by a pitch on May 10 and played through the pain due, in part, to other injuries in the outfield. Here are the spray charts for the first 32 games of the season before May 10, the 32 games he played between May 12 and June 16, and the remaining games he played. Blissfully ignorant about small sample sizes, it looks like Braun lost a lot of power after his non-injury injury. I expect 2009 performance out of him in 2011.
Ryan Braun pre-elbow injury
Ryan Braun post-elbow injury
Ryan Braun post-recovery
McGehee was a softer hitter 2010 than 2009 and had a large number of "just enough" HR. I think he's a little more likely to see a drop in HR in 2011 than an increase.
There isn't really enough previous data on Weeks to say much other than his spray chart in 2010 showed he had few "just enough" HR.
Prince Fielder saw little difference in the character of his HR between 2010 and 2009 and I couldn't find a reasonable explanation for his drop in HRs other than luck. I'm hoping that means production between his 2009 and 2010 figures, if not better.
Brewers hitters had 182 HR last year. I'm going to estimate they inch that up to 190 in 2011 by betting on a healthy Weeks, a contract-year-performance by Fielder and a bounce back year by Braun as well as only a small decrease from McGehee, Gallardo and center field.

Morning clouds will thin to provide some sunshine today with highs in the mid-50s. Another storm system will approach the area Friday night into Saturday.
The dry line slowed down to a crawl yesterday afternoon and the temperatures remained in the lower 50s across northern OK while locations south of I-40 moved into the upper 50s. Central Oklahoma moved into the mid and upper 60s with sunshine while the clouds and showers remained across far eastern OK. This system is now well east of the state and we're looking at decent weather today and tomorrow before the next storm will be nearing the southern plains Friday night.
The model data continues to indicate the Friday night and Saturday system will be mainly confined to portions of Texas and southern OK, but some moisture will be topping the upper level low and moving across the northern part of the state. We mentioned the different scenarios with the weekend system ( snow potential for NW OK) yesterday on the blog and I'll not go through all the different outcomes for our discussion this morning. I have continued to suggest a cooler Saturday with a chance of precipitation across the northern part of the state while rain will be likely across the Red River Valley into North Texas. We'll be watching the data carefully regarding the Saturday morning time period. Recent model runs are not too suggestive of wintry precipitation across NE OK, but it still cannot be totally ruled out. Our precip should be liquid and mainly confined to areas just south of Tulsa.
The 06NAM finished this morning suggesting the colder air will move into southern OK while the moisture is still wrapping around the upper level low Saturday afternoon. This model run would support some snow across southern and east central Ok Saturday evening into Sunday morning. The other models, including the GFS and EURO are much more progressive (fast) with the system and take the moisture eastward before the colder air wraps down into the southern part of the state. I'm basically ignoring the 06NAM until we get a look at the incoming 12zrun.
Another system will be approaching the southern plains by Monday with increasing winds and highs in the upper 50s or lower 60s. This system early next week will be very strong with plenty of dynamics but moisture may be limited to far eastern OK. We'll keep the chance of showers and storms in the forecast for Monday through Wednesday and some of the storms may end up being strong to severe. We'll continue with a very active weather pattern for the next few days. The forecast will no doubt go through some changes, so please check back often for updates.

Share details set, left decide to be wrong
This evening, the Government has announced the final details of the Mighty River Power share offer, which will be officially listed on Friday. The share price is going to be $2.50, and about 113,000 share packages are being purchased. It will create about $1.7 billion for the Government.
Personally, that is higher than I expected, but what I really didn't except is the unreasonable assumptions and hypocrisy that would come from the left on Twitter. I've only grabbed a few examples, but there was a fair few of them. Firstly, the supposed statistics around the 113,000 shareholders:
Only 2.5% of New Zealanders bought MRP shares.
Both an epic fail and a monumental fizzer.—
Richard Hills (@richardhills777) May 08, 2013
2.5% of NZ bought shares. But they still expect us to believe that "average mums & dads" will fork out thousands for 3 more share floats!?—
Richard Hills (@richardhills777) May 08, 2013
113k share-buyers = 2.5% of NZ population stats.govt.nz/browse_for_sta… #assetsales #nzpol—
Sacha Dylan (@kaupapa) May 08, 2013
Only 113,000 'mum and dad' investors in Mighty River. What a disaster. that's half what Contact got. only a quarter of pre-registrations—
Clint Smith (@ClintVSmith) May 08, 2013
Apparently we know that every shareholder is an individual New Zealander, and therefore it equates to 2.5% of the New Zealand population. WRONG. Share packages can be owned collectively (so the package has two or more names to the shares) or by an organisation (company, partnership, incorporated society, etc) which represents multiple individuals. We have no idea how many of the 113,000 shareholders are either one package for more than one person or an organisation owned by or representing multiple New Zealanders. For all we know, it could me 90% of New Zealanders. I doubt it, but it's just as possible as the arbitrary 2.5% opponents of the partial float are insisting on.
Secondly, the amount of money spent on this:
That means they signed up 300,000 children, chickens and double ups. But they spent millions of taxpayer dollars to do it, millions!!—
Richard Hills (@richardhills777) May 08, 2013
Sure, there was a lot of money spent on these sales, but there was also a ridiculous amount of money spent on the pointless "Save Our Assets" petition, which had several thousand invalid signatures. I have heard of people signing as "Margaret Thatcher" or even "Borat". So no, you don't have the right to talk about money being spent. At least the money being spent on the partial float was productive. I don't know the exact figure spent on this float, but it was less than the $1.7 billion being received, and therefore it was a productive expense.
UPDATE: To be fair to @kaupapa, he did tweet some actual data not long after – I didn't see that tweet was I was writing this. Still, 2.5% is based purely on the shareholdings compared with the population, and is a flawed figure. Here's the tweet he sent:
Of non-govt MRP shares, NZ individuals = 55%, NZ institutions = 17%, foreign = 28% scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1305… @scoopnz #nzpol—

About the BCI
The Beverage Council of Ireland (BCI), founded in 1928, represents the interests of the manufacturers and distributors of soft drinks, bottled water and fruit juice in Ireland. Its member companies, both multinational and indigenous, represent the entire supply chain from raw materials to finished products.
The non-alcoholic beverage sector is a major employer and a significant source of business for other Irish producers, sub-suppliers and service businesses. The industry employs 3,655 people directly and supports an estimated 6,700 full-time equivalent jobs across the Irish economy, when direct as well as indirect employment is taken into account. Non-alcoholic beverages (NABs) make a significant contribution to Irish exports, an economic sector valued as a key driver to restoring employment and growth in Ireland.
Based on the latest available full-year data from the CSO, the overall value of exports of NABs reached €132.9 million during 2010. Soft drinks other than waters and fruit juices accounted for €82.5 million or 62% of the value of exports in 2010. Purchases of Irish goods and services by BCI member companies were in excess of €106m in 2010. The BCI companies contributed €85.9m in income tax, VAT and corporation tax in 2010 and invested €34.5m in capital expenditure in 2010

Whether Einstein was right or wrong, it's all relative for award-winning scientist (From The Oxford Times)

Whether Einstein was right or wrong, it's all relative for award-winning scientist
12:00pm Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in News By Matt Oliver, Reporter covering North Oxford, Jericho and Summertown. Call me on 01865 425498
ALBERT Einstein's ideas underpin some of the most important discoveries in science.
And it is thanks to the German-born physicist's theory of general relativity that we have our current understanding of how gravity works.
But an Oxford University scientist has been trying to prove his theories right or wrong.
Dr Tessa Baker, 26, of All Souls College, won an award and £3,000 from the Government for her research into which theories dreamt up on paper are accurate in reality. She said: "The universe is expanding much faster than we thought it would. One possible reason for that is Einstein's theories were not quite right.
"My job is to look at other ideas about gravity and watch the stars for signs of evidence that backs them up.
"Our aim is to discover if there is a part of the puzzle we have not discovered yet. Whether Einstein was right or wrong, it is still a hugely important thing to know."
Getting the studies right will affect our future abilities to do even greater things in science, but it hinges on studying whirlpool galaxies, supernovas and other cosmic formations for clues.
Last month Dr Baker travelled to Westminster to explain why her work was important to a judging panel of MPs and experts, in just three minutes.
She went up against 29 other shortlisted entrants and was crowned the winner.
Afterwards Dr Baker said: "If Einstein was wrong we have discovered a new theory of gravity.
"If he was right then we know we are still missing a huge section of our model of physics."

I understand if you don't like me anymore for posting this, but this is a look at an average riding session with us through the lens of Aaron Bostrom's (sometimes vertical) Iphone. This particular day we went to South Central and we pedaled around a ton looking for random spots and being very, very serious. I think we rode? Can't remember. Go buy something from Neighborhood BMX.

- Style: holy hip-hop
- 17 original tracks
- Released: September 2005
Bottom Line
Hard-hitting and strong, well-crafted and passionate, with great beats and a great message ...
da' T.R.U.T.H. - 'The Faith' - Gritty and Real
Da' T.R.U.T.H. is the latest Cross Movement protégé but his story is not the one you might expect. After growing up in a conservative Philadelphia household, he actually wanted nothing to do with hip-hop, preferring soft R&B and contemporary gospel. It wasn't until he started satirizing the genre in rap that he found its true pleasures. After that, there was no looking back; The Faith is the happy fruit. Full of provocative lyrics and riveting truths, da' T.R.U.T.H. lays it out boldly, challenging the church for its lukewarm behaviors and culturized weaknesses. Gritty and real, every track. Standouts include the exuberantly rockin' "On Duty" and the valiant "Our World." "Who's Team?" challenges the industry to look within and make Biblical corrections where needed. Tell you this: he earns his moniker. He's bringing the truth and in the process, enriching our faith lives if we'll open our hearts to this pure message wrapped up in hot beats. Hard to resist.

Get the details behind our redesign
dice game dating at least to the 13th century and possibly of Arabic origin: the word hazard derives from the Arabic al-zahr ("die"). It was immensely popular in medieval Europe and was played for high stakes in English gambling rooms. The name of the popular American dice game of craps derives from the nickname "crabs" for the throws 1-1 and 1-2 in hazard. The modern rules of craps also grew out of the old English game

To: Zygi Wilf:
Please fire Brad Childress.Childress
He sucks and he's making the Vikings suck. You have a team with great potential, a team you thought had a chance of going to the Super Bowl and you're lucky to be 2-3. Giving Brad Childress the keys to this franchise is like hiring Lindsay Lohan as your limo driver. Yes, he may look like a good coach, but in reality he's just a hot mess incapable of doing the simplest of functions.
I know you might ask me, why fire him? He went 8-8 last year, winning 6 of the last 8, with Tavaris Jackson as the quarterback. That record was a fluke. When it counted, when you needed a win to make the playoffs, you choked like the New York Mets in September. You let the defense and Adrian Peterson carry you and when teams began to smarten up and put eight in the box, the offense had mud in the tires.
But enough of my one-liners and cliches. Why should you do the right thing and immediately fire Childress? Let me break it down:
- The offense is terrible.
- You rank 18thin the whole league at 20.2 points per game. The New Orleans game was the first time you broke the 20-point plateau and you're not really scoring withthat offense. How does a team with Adrian Peterson, Chester Taylor, Bernard Berrian & Sidney Rice manage only 7 offensive TD'sin 5 games?????? How can you win with QB's that average less than 200 yards per game while only completing 54.8% of your passes for a 73.3 QB rating?
- Rice cakes have more imagination that your offense. Funny things about this is that Childress was an OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR!!!! But wait, didn't Andy Reid call the play in Philly? So, what did he do, squiggle lines in crazy patterns for Donovan McNabb? I digress. Here is the Viking offense in a nutshell, First down, RUN, Second Down, RUN, Third Down, if more than five yards, try to pass, if five yards or less, RUN. Fourth down, PUNT or FIELD GOAL. If there are eight in the box, RUN. If there are 11 in the box RUN. I think you get my point. If you don't you will when Adrian Peterson is injured by Week 11.
- Your pass defensive is the human version of Swiss Cheese. Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Kerry Collins (didn't he does this in the 2000 NFC Championship game too?) and Peyton Manning have made fools of your 20th ranked pass defense. How many times do the Viking stop the run on 1st down only to allow the opponent to complete a 12 -15 yards pass for another 1st down? Too many. Brees was doing all night last night. The Vikings were outgained by over 130 yards in the first half. You have only intercepted the ball 4 times and only have 8 sacks in 5 games. I thought Jared Allen was supposed to solve this.
- Special Teams are horrendous. 2 TD's given up to Bush last night (you should have learned the first time) and there were four other instances in which the Saints started in their own 40 (twice in Vikings territory). Maybe you should try kicking the ball out of bounds. It works on punt and it saves you some clock on kickoffs.
- You coach not to lose. Wasn't this the same reason you benched Tavaris Jackson (a good move that should have been made two years ago)? Up 15-0 against Indy and you run 75% of the time and settle for Field Goals. Up 17-10 last night and you settle for a field goal instead of aggressively going for the touchdown. The TD drive to Berrian was the first sign of aggression since the days of Mike Tice (at least they were exciting when they lost).
- You relied on TavarisJackson and expected to go to the Super Bowl with him. If the Vikings couldn't reach the Super Bowl with Daunte Culpepper, what made you think you could with Jackson?? He is consistently at the bottom in key QB stats. His decision making is more questionable than President Bush's and hasn't shown any ability that he could be a QB in this league. Yet, you made him the QB of the future, failed to bring in a decent free agent (Favre, Pennington, even Culpepper) and now we're stuck with Gus Frerotte.
Thankfully the run offense and defense is respectable, scoring 6 of the teams 9 TD's. But the Vikings are a proud franchise rich in offensive history. From the days of Fran Tarkenton and the Purple People Eaters, to Three Deep with Moss, Carter & Reed, this franchise has always been exciting and competitive. Brad Childresshas ruined that tradition and replaced it with a ho-hum lifestyle that is not even competitive.
Mr. Wilf, for the sake of the franchise, the fans and this season, please fire Brad Childress and let the Vikings return to the excitement that have while playing to win.

As we sit in front of the Hot Stove (or read BCB) and talk about which free agents the Cubs should pursue, we often say something like "Don't go after Joe Blow. He's 34 years old." Yet Joe has been consistently productive over the last eight years, still plays good defense, and he bats left-handed. Will he be productive for us, or will his production suddenly drop off a cliff when we sign him?
I've been thinking about this dilemma for a while, and I've come up with the concept of "baseball age", an attempt to reconcile the fact that Andruw Jones seems to be washed up at age 31 and Mark DeRosa seems to still be improving at age 33.
Baseball age is made up of several components, which I am listing below. If I were better at math, I would try to quantify this; perhaps someone else already has or would like to try. I am listing these in what I believe is their order of importance:
1. Chronological age. Obviously, this is still the most important component. As the body ages, it does not recover from stress and injury as quickly, so that muscles and joints don't function quite as well on a daily basis.
2. Conditioning level. This includes cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility training, baseball-related strength training and plyometrics, baseball activity (e.g., throwing), and weight management. Players who are well conditioned and not overweight place less stress on their joints than players who aren't and can handle a higher workload more efficiently. I also believe that players who have maintained their bodies well from the the time they signed their first pro contract age better than those who start at age 30. Thus, I would expect Jason Marquis to last longer than Ryan Dempster, who had his "come to conditioning Jesus" meeting only last year. Cliff Floyd lamented last year that he hadn't taken better care of himself in his younger years; he seems washed up at age 35.
3. Milage. I would measure this using innings played for position players, innings pitched for starting pitchers, and appearances for relief pitchers. Guys who come up at age 21 and play 155 games per season often seem old at age 32. Guys like DeRo and Plácido Polanco, who start their careers as bench players, still seem strong at age 33. Career bench players like Alex Cora and Henry Blanco seem to last forever.
4. Turf. Vladimir Guerrero is exhibit A. José Vidro is exhibit B. I would guess that every inning on turf is worth three on grass. If you can quantify this accurately, the MLBPA would like a word with you.
5. Injury History. Both the number and type of injuries count. Broken bones, torn ACLs, and torn ulnar collateral ligaments usually heal without incident. Once a pitcher is completely back from Tommy John surgery, it becomes a non-factor. How many fans even remember that Chipper Jones had surgery for a torn ACL in 1994? Other injuries, like a bulging disc in the back, chronic hamstring pulls, or a torn rotator cuff, seriously degrade a player's performance and shorten his career.
6. Position. Catchers take more of a beating than other position players. Relief pitchers take more of a beating than starting pitchers. Base stealers take more of a beating than power hitters. Middle infielders get hit more often than third basemen. Outfielders' legs get more wear and tear than first basemen's. And Aaron Rowand running into a br...., uh, let's not go there.
7. Major Tools. Speed is usually the first tool to start fading, so players who rely on their speed (e.g., Juan Pierre, Chone Figgins) age very rapidly; players whose major tool is hitting for average and/or power often do very well in their mid to late 30s (e.g., Chipper Jones, Gary Sheffield, Luis Gonzalez, Manny Ramírez). Players whose main asset is fielding range (e.g., Adam Everett) age faster than players whose main defensive asset is their arm and/or hands (e.g., Chipper Jones, Dwight Evans). Players whose bat allows them to move down the defensive spectrum will be valuable longer than those whose entire value comes from being high on the defensive spectrum.
8. Intelligence. Intelligent players adapt by using their experience to compensate for diminishing physical skills. An experienced shortstop will compensate for losing a step of raw range by using scouting reports more effectively to help him position himself. An intelligent pitcher will develop a new pitch to compensate for losing a few mph on his fastball. Players who don't adapt (e.g., Marcus Giles) find themselves unwanted at a fairly early age.
9. Mental Toughness. As a player ages, it becomes more difficult to push himself to do the extra conditioning work that is needed to compete in a young man's game, especially as he sees his children growing up. Jon Lieber seemed to lose the mental toughness needed to keep his weight within reason and his conditioning level high over the last two or three seasons; this manifested itself by his reporting to Spring Training seriously overweight this season and leaving the team in September after he went back on the DL. He appears to be done. John Smoltz, on the other hand, seems doubly determined to come back from his shoulder injury and pitch again and he continues to keep himself in excellent physical condition.
10. Scarcity. This applies primarily to left-handed relief pitchers.
11. Luck. I have no other explanation for Nolan Ryan's ability to throw 95 mph at age 40. 'Nuff said.
Feel free to either come up with a formula to calculate whether Jim Edmonds, Bobby Abreu, or Raúl Ibañez would be more useful to the Cubs in 2009, or flame away at the whole concept.

My questions to the 2010 Bengal's, is "Are you tough enough" to go back through the central divison again, and win just like last year. And if you do, does this team have what it takes to make and win the super bowl. Now before anyone starts on me, I AM A Fan of this team. I am asking and hoping the answers to these questions is yes.
Ok, what does think? I am attaching my poll question.

The first thing I would accept in evaluating this team is the pure lack of talent. It's not necessarily a cut here and a move there. A staff change yesterday. I'm about to make a statement that will make this post unreadable to some, but my first issue is not to fire Jim Mora. My first thing I would do is cut every big contract of players that are not contributors on a weekly basis of above average play. Some players are tradeable for draft picks and so each player will be evaluated for that. And every scenario for more draft picks will be where my focus is.
Next, you don't draft for systems, you draft talent across the board. You need only look at the Cardinals and their playmakers where all brought in under Dennis Green. Ken reworked the line, but the major game breakers are all pre wisenhunt guys who are now peaking to their ability
The next thing, trade out of the 8th pick in the draft for even more picks The truth is, cutting all the big contracts will put you through salary cap hell for the next year or two, but free agents are the way I would glue the young talent together after I'm sure I have a competitive (key word) team in place.
The Issue of Jim Mora will be my last decision. and would probably waits a year. For a couple of reasons. I'm likely a first time GM and unless I have a strong relationship with someone of value, Ala Thomas Dimitrov and Mike Smith I'll use the year to watch Mora work with the younger talent infused team while perhaps getting a list of good candidates that aren't big names, but are innovators in the league like Ken Wisenhunt was or even a Steve Spagnulo. If it turns out a talent infusion allows Mora to be a better success then that's a win, win.

- Physical Therapy
The most common initial step in treatment of spinal stenosis is physical therapy. Emphasis in physical therapy is placed on strengthening the muscles of the back, stretching these muscles, and improving posture. By better supporting the spine, symptoms of nerve compression are often improved.
- Weight Loss
Losing weight is a difficult task in patients who have back and leg problems. However, losing even a small amount of weight is often a sufficient step in relieving pain. By removing even 10 pounds or more, the spine supports less of a load, and pain may be relieved sufficiently.
- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) are commonly prescribed, and often help relieve the pain associated with spinal stenosis. By reducing inflammation, these medications can relieve some pressure on the compressed nerves. NSAIDs should be used under your doctor's supervision.
- Oral Steroid Medications
Oral steroid medications can be very helpful in episodes of an acute (sudden) flare-up of symptoms. Medications used include Prednisone and Medrol. Like NSAIDs, these powerful anti-inflammatory medications reduce inflammation around the compressed nerves, thereby relieving symptoms.
- Alternative Treatments
Alternative treatments include acupuncture, massage, magnet therapy, natural remedies, and others. There is no doubt that many patients find significant relief from these types of treatments. While the scientific studies are lacking to support these treatments, most have few side effects, and are reasonable treatments to attempt.
- Epidural Steroid Injections
Injections of cortisone can be administered directly in the area of compression. Like oral anti-inflammatory medications, the idea is to relieve the compression on the nerves. When the injection is used, the medication is delivered to the area of the spinal stenosis, rather than being taken orally and traveling throughout your body.
Spine Surgery
Spine surgery may be considered if all other treatments fail to alleviate your symptoms. When surgery is performed for spinal stenosis, the nerves are decompressed. This means that excess bone, ligament, and soft-tissue is removed to allow more room for the nerves. The procedure performed depends on precisely where the compression is taking place. Depending on what tissue is removed, the procedure may be called a laminectomy (removal of the bone behind the spinal cord), foramenotomy (removing bone around the spinal nerve), or a discectomy (removing the spinal disc to relieve pressure).
Depending on the extent of the spinal stenosis, surgery may remove enough of the supporting structures of the spine that support needs to be added. In these cases, a spine fusion procedure will also be performed in order to prevent problems with instability of the spine.
Possible complications of spinal stenosis surgery include tears in the sac that surrounds the spinal cord (dural tears), infections, and instability of the spine. Furthermore, because spinal arthritis the most common cause of spinal stenosis, the problems may reappear years after surgical treatment as the arthritis worsens over time.

I did this little drawing for the July issue of Strings Magazine! It's a little tutorial on busking.
Thanks AD Bayard Heimer!
I got to do this quick little illustration last week for the Chicago Reader! It's for a pretty great missed connection. Got asked to do it while sitting around during jury duty- so I got to put my sitting around to good use.
Thanks to AD Jennifer McLaughlin!
Just realized that I never posted the newest little recipe zine I made for TCAF. This one is simpler than the others but super delicious.
I have a piece in a show called DIME BAG 4! Curated by Jordin Isip.
Each of the more than two hundred invited artists received a 3" x 3" plastic zip lock bag, a "dime bag" of sorts. They were asked to create their artwork for and installed within the bag. There was no overt conceptual theme to show beyond the device of the bag itself and each artist was free to interpret within these simple parameters.
Pop by the opening reception- Thursday, July 3rd, 8:00-10:00 pm!
The End is Near
465 7th Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11215
(Park Slope, btw16th and Windsor)
Swing by and see the teeny tiny pieces by lots and lots of amazing amazing artists!
Here are some pictures of the mini I made for TCAF this year called For Sale! All pencil drawings printed on yellow paper with and off-white cover. 4.25" x 5.5"
If you missed it at TCAF you can buy it here!
Also just wanted to say what an amazing time I had at TCAF!! Big thanks to everyone from so many different wonderful places who came to my table to buy or trade or just to talk. And big thanks to my lovely tablemates. I hope I'll be able to do this every year!
The printing of the Goblin Week 2014 Zine has commenced. It is 64 pages, not 60 as previously estimated. I am sorry it's taken so long but IT'S GOOD.
I have made available a PDF of the insides on Gumroad, for YOU! It is FREE, or PAY WHAT U WANT, as seemed appropriate given the large number of creators involved in it that are not me (Evan).

Hello all
I'm looking for a building in Dublin which still has a tenement feel to it... I know there are some on Henrietta st but the ones I have been in tend to have been restored to some degree or another... What I have in my head is Arran Quay late 80's .. something that is really abandoned and unloved. I am possibly doing a shoot soon which requires this and would be really grateful if anyone had a suggestion. Ideally it would be possible to arrange above board access too!

In a ceremony to burn tattered American flags, Boy Scout Troop 243 Leader Tom Birch caught fire.
"I made a mistake. I got too close. The barrel was completely out, at least I thought it was," Birch said. "There was hot amber in the barrel so when I put the flag in the barrel, it ignited and came right up to my arm."
Not exactly something that would win the troop leader a badge but it did leave him with quite the story to tell. "It was frightening at the time. I looked down at my arm on fire," Birch said.His is arm caught fire while the troop was burning 200 tattered American flags.
"It happened so fast. it was lit. One second your arm's on fire. Another second I'm on the ground rolling around," he said.The flag retirement ceremony is an honor only the Boy Scouts and the military share. An honor that's left Birch with second degree burns on his arm.
"It was a little scary but like I said, stop, drop and roll. I had my 15 minutes of flame," Birch said.Birch says he took a couple lessons out of the Boy Scout's handbook.
"Be responsible, be cautious and always be prepared," Birch said.And he was prepared with the Naples Fire Department on hand and Boy Scout troops far away from the flames. He says the flag burning tradition will continue.

A fine boy soprano voice was his ticket to escape this unpleasant home. He won competitions and a full room and board scholarship to the St. John Choir in New York City. He never went home again.
After he encountered difficulty in college, Meredith tried a variety of jobs but told a reporter, "I was no good at anything except the stage." Then in 1933 he was accepted into Eva LeGallienne's company in New York, and a series of stage appearances soon gave him his break into both stage and screen with a starring role in Maxwell Anderson's play Winterset.
Between 1935 and 1948, Meredith was married and divorced three times while appearing in around 20 films and serving in the Air Force during World War II. In 1950 he took his fourth wife, Swedish ballerina Kaja Sundsten, to whom he remained married until his death.
In the early 1950s Meredith was one of the victims of the McCarthy "Blacklist." There is a conspicuous gap in his filmography between 1949 and 1957. Beginning in the late 1950s his film and TV output was extraordinary, including well-known roles as the Penguin in Batman and as Stallone's coach in the Rocky movies, as well as one of the most famous episodes of The Twilight Zone, the heart-wrenching "Time Enough at Last." This writer's personal favorite was his role in the original Clash of the Titans.
He was called "an ardent environmentalist and proponent of causes," and was said to be "famous for his tempestuous personality." He published his autobiography, So Far, So Good, in 1994, and wrote in it that his mood swings were caused by cyclothymia, a form of bipolar disorder.
Burgess Meredith died in September 1997 at the age of 89.

Incontinence pads attach to the inside of underwear with adhesive strips and feature specially designed top sheets for fast fluid capture and skin dryness.
Booster pads "boost" or increase the total absorbency of any absorbent garment. When placed inside the garment, they help extend its wear time or protect against heavier-than-usual leakage.
Underpads placed on beds and chairs protect those items from leaks or spills.
Reusable products include panties and briefs, rubber pants, and underpads that can be machine-washed several hundred times.
Disposable skin wipes help maintain cleanliness, especially when away from home, and control odors. Skin protectants are specially formulated to provide a moisture barrier, protecting skin against irritation and breakdown.

I believe Reggie knows the plays better then trading for someone or even someone off the PS.Reggie could still line up at RB in mant different sets.Just wanted to get your thoughts.

Deputies investigating a tip about possible drug activity at a Polk County home Friday found more than 40 dogs living in "deplorable conditions," investigators said.Randall Keith Huggins, 49, and Bernice Mae Walskey, 55, both of Auburndale were arrested and charged with 40 counts of animal cruelty. Walskey also faces drug-possession charges.According to a Sheriff's Office report:Deputies went to their home on Owens Road on Friday night after receiving a tip. Huggins allowed them to search the property, they said.While there, they found 47 dogs, mostly dachshunds, living in tiny, cages stacked four high, standing in their own feces and urine and with no food and water. Deputies said the dogs had not been provided room for exercise, and many suffered from malnutrition, parasites and skin conditions.Four pit bulls and a wolf hybrid were also handed over to officials.Neighbors told Fox 13 Tampa Bay that they frequently heard yapping, yelping and barking. They said they knew the couple who lived in the mobile home had dogs but had no idea how many."I kept saying to myself, 'Why don't they shut those dogs up?' " Chris Turlington said.A K-9 unit alerted to the scent of narcotics in Walskey's vehicle, and drug-packing items were found in the home, they said.The Polk Sheriff's Office has investigated the couple for possible animal abuse twice in the past two years. A spokesperson for the agency said the dogs had food, water and seemed healthy.Fox 13 Polk Bureau reporter Ken Suarez contributed to this report.

While most early reviews have pegged David O. Russell's "The Fighter" as a mainstream crowd pleasing boxing fix, that hasn't stopped the marketing team behind the film to deliver some very clever teasers and trailers for the film. Back in October, an arty clip was debuted for audiences of "Mad Men" and now, with just over a week until the film hits, a new testosterone heavy spot has been unveiled.
The latest promo piece focuses almost exclusively on the training aspects of the film, as Mark Wahlberg's Micky Ward works out with his brother/trainer Dickie, played by Christian Bale. Sure, we get some glimpses of the family strife, but with the repeated cuts and clangs of the ringside bell, the spot is visual and auditory workout. And it works very well, drawing you into the intimate world Russell has created for the film.
You can check out the spot and the Mark Wahlberg gun show, after the jump. "The Fighters" gets between the ropes on December 10th. [IGN]
JT | December 2, 2010 5:25 AM
Shut up Tony, you should be happy there are still actors out there willing to work so hard to make their passion projects. Wahlberg has never been anything but a refreshingly honest voice in Hollywood. Furthermore, he'll be the first to admit he's not the best actor in the world, that's why he keeps taking roles he's perfect for. Stop whining about conspiracy theories and enjoy the guy for what he is.
I'm damn excited to see this movie and hope the best for him.
Tony Davis | December 2, 2010 1:57 AM
Walhberg is a fraud. He claims to be exec producer on all these shows like Entourage, but it appears that is a guy named Doug somebody, Larry Charles, Mark Greenburg and others...so what is the deal?. It's time for Hollywood to wake up and realize the public has had enough of this guy and his cheesy acting.

Revenue continues to slip through Deadwood casino owners' hands, and that means a drop in state taxes collected. The good news? The state's take in September was only off just $13,542 when compared with the year before.
Still, the troubling trend of dwindling gaming revenue continues, from the amount of money that gamblers plunk into machines to the revenue casino owners pull in.
Players wagered $106,816,379 this September; a drop of 1 percent when compared to the money gambled in September 2012.
Slot machine play was steady, so gross revenue was off just 1.27 percent when compared September to September. Gross revenues last month were $10,137,144; down from September 2012 revenues of $10,267,957. Year-to-date gross revenue is down 1.46 percent, which is a little bit of a gain when compared to the industry being down 1.49 percent at the end of August.
As to the state's take … last month it was $879,874.

Nominations for the Cinema Eye Honors is something we doc fans really look forward to every fall, and I've just heard that this year's announcement will be happening in about a week, on November 2. That's a bit later than last year's announcement, and it's the only change this year. Instead of being named from London through the partnership of the Sheffield Doc/Fest, this year nominees will be revealed from Los Angeles during a reception held in conjunction with the AFI Film Festival.
"While Cinema Eye remains a great New York City event, we're excited to be able to celebrate this year's nominees with the great documentary community in Los Angeles," said Cinema Eye co-chair Esther Robinson in the press release statement. "And we're so glad to be partnering with our friends at AFI FEST for the first time, and to include our esteemed West Coast colleagues."

The possibility of snow in the Greater West Bloomfield area is in the forecast on Saturday night, while rain is expected to fall all weekend.
Friday's forecast calls for rain after 1 a.m., amounting to about one tenth to a quarter of an inch possible, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The low will dip down to 35 degrees and it won't get much warmer than that on Saturday.
According to the NWS, Saturday will offer rain and snow before 4 p.m., with a high near 41. Little to no snow is expected to accumulate, so put away the shovels. But if you're headed out on the first night of Hanukkah, pack your windproof jacket to deal with gusts up to 20 m.p.h. and low temperatures below freezing.
On Sunday, there is an 80 percent chance of more rain, so be sure to pack an umbrella if you're headed to Music @ Main with Chris Ayotte, the Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society Open House, Chanukah Wonderland at the Orchard Mall, or the Hanukkah celebration at the Jewish Community Center.
Little rain is expected to accumulate Sunday night, although lows hovering around freezing may cause some snow to fall. Looking ahead to Monday, there is a 30 percent chance of snow showers, with a high temperature near 37.

So it's new years eve, where had the year gone!? This morning my sister called me and ask "so how was your year, what have you done this year, did you accomplish what you wanted to?" I didn't hesitate to think but answered that it was a harsh year, nothing much happened to distinguish it from any other; it was meh.
Oh how wrong I was! She told me, go think about it and I'll call you latter on to ask you again. Well I did. I sat down and thought, it's a new year coming upon us and what have I done? Then all of a sudden things I did this year started popping out, things I completely forgot I did, and saw… these weren't little things, but rather grand that I completely forgot!
From the very beginning of the year I turned 21 years old – a feat of its own! Then I went to concerts the first being Newsboys and Lincoln Brewster, then Michael W. Smith, and latter on 3 Hillsong concerts (with 3 tapings of Joyce Meyers), and Finally a Hillsong youth concert with David Crowder Band! Heck that on its own is a lot of concerts! In Februarys I went to the Olympics in Vancouver! I saw my home country (Belarus woo!) play one of my favorite teams (Sweden) in Hockey (my fav. sport) with some of my best's friends. In April I would finish my 3ed year in university, no small feat either. I would also go to Cali and spend time with my brother shadowing him in the hospital and my sister (I love my family with all my heart) plus went on a cruise to Mexico with my other sister and Mom. After the cruise and California I went to Toronto and spent the summer with my mommy dearest studying for the wrenched MCAT. I met people I would eventually lead to a relationship with Christ and finally would write the MCAT (hardest exam EVER) but what an accomplishment!
Upon writing the MCAT I left on a road trip through the states to Alberta then got on a plane and set off for Beijing again with some of my closest friends. From there I would later go on to Tibet, Nepal, and India, getting a foot away from the Dalai Lama himself before heading back to Alberta and school.
I made friends for life, got a beautiful girl to go out with me :), joined teams (rugby) that I never would have thought, and ministries that would be empowering (prison ministries). I learnt valuable lessons about Christ, my strengths and weakness and journey in my Christian life. I spent wonderful time with my family and accomplished my goal yet again for reading the bible in a year. I had different jobs throughout the year in construction work, tutoring, teacher assistant, mentoring and I got a new car (while selling my old car which was also my first – a '94 BMW 318is). And finally topped it of with one last trip with my brother to Vancouver yet again.
I can't complain, it's been a wonderful year! Sure there are always ups and downs but when we actually think about our accomplishments, we do a lot! I think people like me are far to negative, and unappreciative of the blessing we receive!!! I feel embarrassed and ashamed. I hope we all can sit back and reflect at what we have done to make ourselves better, our life enjoyable and how we may have blessed other – and if we haven't done that then maybe we should start tomorrow. My earnest prayer is to start appreciating every blessing provided, only then would I and everyone else consider the bigger picture and work towards making our lives better and those around us, not living with regret but with appreciation, joyfulness, happiness and blessing :).
God bless us all and Happy New Years!! :)

I don't know if it's a no-brainer for fight of the year, especially when this is the same year as Vasquez-Marquez III, but I'm sure it will make a lot of lists at the end of the year.

Untraditional Start on 'Horizon' For Bermuda Race
By Shannon Donnelly
NEWPORT — It's a slick shame.
A thousand miles away from the Gulf of Mexico, the BP Horizon spill is crashing one of Newport's most exclusive parties.
And in this WASPy, Topsider-ed stronghold of yachting history, that…well, stinks.
Friday marks the start of the biennial Newport to Bermuda race, the tradition-steeped quest to be the fastest boat to St. David's Lighthouse. But when the 180-plus yachts bob near Newport's Castle Hill waiting for the go-ahead, the warning shot won't be coming from the USCG cutter Juniper, as in years past.
Junie is busy. She's on oil spill duty.
Race organizers aren't sure if the cutter, homeported in Newport, has actually been deployed to the Gulf of Mexico, or if she's been pressed into service to free up another vessel. In any case, the Coast Guard told race organizers to find another starter boat, because they had none to spare.
Two Palm Beach yachtsmen are among those vying for the chance to perch the St. David's Trophy on the mantle. Nick Halmos is a skilled sailor who has never won the Bermuda; Llwyd Ecclestone is a skilled sailor who has. Ecclestone's entry is Kodiak, a Swan 601. Halmos will be aboard his Class 40, Cutlass.
The 126-foot S&S Pilothouse ketch Axia will do the starting honors.
True, not exactly the belle of the Atlantic.
But as every sailor knows, she yam what she yam.
About the Author
Shannon Donnelly has spent decades covering the Palm Beach social scene with a gimlet eye, which is unsurprising considering her favorite drink is the vodka gimlet. And champagne. And the margarita. And the mojito. Her assignments for PBDN have put her aboard the HMS Brittania, in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, at the Democratic and Republican conventions, toe-to-toe with Shaquille O'Neal at Donald Trump's wedding reception, and freezing her butt off at the inauguration of George W. Bush. She has yet to be taken from an event in handcuffs. But, you never know…

Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank)
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Producer: T-Minus
Album: good kid, m.A.A.d city
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 92 total votes )
UPDATE: Click "Watch Video" above to view the brand new video for Swimming Pools (Drank).
Hip-hop's never been shy about drinking, but in recent years rappers seem to have taken liver-destruction to a new level. No longer are they content to merely get drunk, now only Swimming Pools full of liquor will do. Coming on the heels of The Recipe, Kendrick Lamar's second single, Swimming Pools (Drank), brings in super producer T-Minus for a blurry and faded beat that fits the track's hypnotic concept perfectly. And while at first Drank may sound like just another booze fest, this is Kendrick Lamar, and sure enough the always complex emcee delves into the dark side of knocking back all those shots, at one point even giving voice to a conscience that warns him that he's on the verge of collapse.
