Neil Walker Rumors
NL Notes: Hamels, Morse, Diamondbacks, Walker
There was some great news out of New Jersey today, as venerable Hinchliffe Stadium was designated a National Historic Landmark. As MLB.com's Mark Newman reports, the Art Deco structure is one of just a few still standing to have hosted Negro League action.
Here are some notes out of the National League:
- The Phillies are close to welcoming back Cole Hamels from the DL, reports CSNPhilly.com's Reuben Frank. Assistant GM Scott Proefrock said that the lefty may return as soon as next week. Needless to say, a healthy Hamels is absolutely critical if Philly has any hope of contending — and avoiding the need for a possible sell-off of veteran pieces — in 2014.
- Michael Morse has looked to be an excellent addition for the Giants in the early part of the season, writes Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News. The hot start for Morse has answered the question whether he could return to health, and validated manager Bruce Bochy's internal push for the slugger. For his part, Morse says he was guided to San Francisco by former Giant Mark DeRosa and 49er running back Frank Gore. While Morse is never going to look good in the outfield or on the basepaths, Bochy has managed that issue by frequently replacing the lumbering 32-year-old late in games. Morse will re-enter the open market after playing out his one-year, $6MM deal, and should be an interesting player to watch as the season goes on.
- Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall says it is too early to throw around blame for the team's rough start, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Hall said that "it's far too early to say" that either GM Kevin Towers or manager Kirk Gibson are in danger of losing their jobs. "I wouldn't say anybody's in trouble at this point." The tandem was extended over the offseason, but nevertheless could face hot seats if Arizona cannot turn around a 4-14 start that has left them already 7 games back in the division.
- Pirates second baseman Neil Walker has seen promising returns on his offseason work to revamp his swing from the right-handed side of the plate, writes Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Though he has just a few regular season plate appearances so far, the switch-hitting 28-year-old has continued the solid work he did off of southpaws during Spring Training. For his career, Walker has touched righties for a .799 OPS, but has only notched a .665 mark against lefties. Set to reach free agency after the 2016 season, Walker could significantly increase his utility, value, and potentially his extension candidacy if he can up his production from the right side.

Pirates, Neil Walker Avoid Arbitration
The Pirates have ducked an arbitration hearing with Neil Walker by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $5.75MM, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune (Twitter link).
Walker, a client of Excel Sports Management, receives a raise from the $3.3MM salary he received last season as a first-time arb-eligible Super Two player. He had been projected to earn $4.8MM by MLBTR's Matt Swartz, so his agents did well to approach the $6MM mark. Walker will be eligible for arbitration two more times before hitting free agency following the 2016 season.

NL Central Links: Walker, Alvarez, Cards, Rule 5
Let's round up a few morning updates from around the NL Central….
- Charlie Morton and the Pirates reached an agreement on a three-year extension yesterday, but the team has yet to discuss long-term deals with Neil Walker or Pedro Alvarez this offseason, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
- The Cardinals have discussed Brian Roberts as a potential target, but his injury history limits the team's enthusiasm, says Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
- The last open spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster had originally been ticketed for Corey Hart, but now that Hart is headed to Seattle instead, Milwaukee is considering using that opening to pick a player in this morning's Rule 5 draft. Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has the details.
- The Cubs may end up selecting a player in the Rule 5 draft, but it sounds like the team is preparing to lose more players than it adds, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat (via Twitter).

Blue Jays Rumors: Lind, Loney, Moreland, Morrison
Earlier today, we heard from Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi of FOX Sports that a trade agreement between the Rangers and Blue Jays fell through when a player involved in the deal failed his physical. The FOX duo reported that Sergio Santos would have been sent to Texas in the swap, and Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca adds another detail, revealing that the agreed-upon trade would have seen the Blue Jays land a starting pitcher. Here's more on the Jays from Orlando:
- The Pirates approached the Jays about Adam Lind, but talks quickly fizzled when Toronto countered by asking about Neil Walker, according to Davidi.
- While the Jays aren't necessarily looking to move Lind, the team has asked around about other first base options like James Loney, Mitch Moreland, and Logan Morrison, in case a Lind deal presents itself.
- GM Alex Anthopoulos didn't comment specifically on whether the Blue Jays would bid on Masahiro Tanaka, but said, "I think it's safe to say any good starter that's out there we're going to be active, we'll try to be involved and see if it makes sense for us."
- Anthopoulos added that the Jays are "having some dialogue" on a smaller deal that would add a right-handed bat to the team's bench.
- Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com passes along a transcript of manager John Gibbons' conversation with the media today, which includes plenty of discussion about possible holes on the roster and potential moves to address them.

NL Central Links: Pirates, Walker, Freese, Beltran
We heard earlier today that the Brewers explored a trade for Mets first baseman Ike Davis but talks went nowhere, and that the Brew Crew aren't going to deal Norichika Aoki. Let's check in elsewhere around the NL Central…
- The Pirates have been looking at "high upside" starting pitchers in their initial round of free agent calls, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports (Twitter link).
- Pirates GM Neal Huntington said that his team is open to discussing a long-term deal with second baseman Neil Walker, FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports (Twitter link).
- Also from Morosi (Twitter links), the Pirates will probably add a starter from outside the organization if A.J. Burnett retires or signs elsewhere. Huntington said Burnett hasn't yet given the Pirates any indication if he will retire or pitch in 2014.
- David Freese has seemingly gone from World Series hero to forgotten man in St. Louis. Bernie Miklasz of the St Louis Post-Dispatch looks at the Cardinals' options with their once-star third baseman and where he fits into the club's plans.
- It has been assumed that Carlos Beltran will leave the Cardinals this winter but GM John Mozeliak tells reporters (including MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch) that it isn't quite a done deal. "I still think it's a situation where the door's open but we haven't made any decisions either way. In time, we'll see," Mozeliak said.
- Jed Hoyer isn't surprised by the Jeff Samardzija trade talk, the Cubs general manager tells reporters (including ESPN Chicago's Jesse Rogers). "Teams know we've had discussions with him and we haven't signed him. That's part of it," Hoyer said. "I think teams will certainly inquire about him. He's really proved over the last two years he has great stuff and is a tough competitor. I think teams will ask us about him so to that extent there could be rumors." Samardzija is reportedly unlikely to sign an extension and he has been linked to the Nationals and Diamondbacks in recent rumors.
- Also from Hoyer, he says the Cubs will be looking to add veterans to replace Alfonso Soriano and David DeJesus' clubhouse leadership.
- Chicago native Curtis Granderson would be a big addition both on and off the field for Cubs or White Sox, yet as CSN Chicago's Dan Hayes notes, both teams' focus on adding younger talent makes them hesitant to give up the second round draft pick it would take to sign Granderson.

NL Notes: Rockies, Pirates, Mets, Managerial Searches
The NLCS is taking a day off as the scene shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 tomorrow night with the Cardinals leading the Dodgers 2-0. Here is the latest news and notes out of the National League today:
- The Rockies need to improve their talent acquisition via the draft and Latin America in order to overcome the crushing injuries suffered in recent seasons, according to Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post. Tim Hudson, whose free agency was profiled this past week by MLBTR's Steve Adams, would make a perfect middle-of-the-rotation starter for the Rockies, Renck opines.
- The Pirates' payroll will increase significantly in 2014 aiding their efforts to retain free agents Marlon Byrd and A.J. Burnett while also trying to sign Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez to long-term extensions, reports the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Rob Biertempfel.
- The Mets will face a dilemma with their 40-man roster when it comes time to protect minor league players from the Rule 5 draft, reports ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin. The Mets' 40-man roster is currently full and will be so again once the eight players on the 60-day disabled list replace the eight pending free agents on the 40-man. Jordany Valdespin headlines Rubin's list of eight Mets who could lose their roster spot.
- The Reds' managerial search is centered on pitching coach Bryan Price and Triple-A manager Jim Riggleman, writes John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Fay expects Price to get the job; but, if neither candidate impresses ownership in upcoming interviews, the search may be expanded.
- Nationals third-base coach Trent Jewett has an excellent shot to become the team's next manager, reports ESPN.com's Buster Olney (Insider subscription required).

Quick Hits: Magic, Girardi, Pirates, Bailey
Magic Johnson's candor about the Dodgers likely not pursuing Robinson Cano this offseason has led Major League Baseball to look into Johnson's comments, ESPN's Buster Olney reports. Officials on other teams aren't allowed to publicly discuss players who haven't officially become free agents yet, especially in cases where a player's market value could be affected. General managers around the league told Olney that "their comments were watched more closely over the last year than in any time in recent memory," so Johnson could face some type of penalty for his remarks.
Here are some news items as we end another exciting day of four playoff games…
- Joe Girardi "apparently remains torn" if he's going to accept the Yankees' extension offer or explore other manager jobs, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The Yankees "have made it clear" that they could pull back their offer if Girardi talks to other clubs, something he's not allowed to do until the end of the month since the Yankees aren't granting other teams permission to negotiate with their manager. One such team, the Cubs, expect to learn by tomorrow if Girardi is staying in New York, a source tells Wittenmyer.
- The Pirates want to keep Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez over the long term, team president Frank Coonelly tells MLB.com's Tom Singer. Coonelly also discusses the Francisco Liriano signing, the farm system and other topics during the interview.
- "It wouldn't be shocking" if the Reds traded Homer Bailey to create some payroll space, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon opines. Bailey earned $5.3MM last season and MLBTR's Matt Swartz projects that he could earn $9.3MM in arbitration. Though Bailey has been one of the Reds' best pitchers over the last two years, he "has shown little interest in signing" a multiyear deal with the team, Sheldon writes, so the Reds could move him now before possibly losing him in free agency after next season.
- Major League Baseball has filed a motion requesting that Alex Rodriguez's lawsuit against the league be moved to a federal court, and if the move is granted, MLB will likely file a motion to dismiss the suit, Newsday's Steven Marcus reports.
- The Indians have a number of things to do before Opening Day 2014, writes Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hoynes' list includes adding an impact bat, adding at least one quality starter, bolstering the relief corps and locking up Justin Masterson to a long-term deal.
- It once seemed unusual, but now its the norm for playoff teams to turn to inexperienced pre-arbitration eligible players, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca writes. Among the 24 pre-arb hurlers in this year's postseason are Michael Wacha, Jarrod Parker and Alex Cobb, all of whom started today for their respective teams.

Quick Hits: Indians, Youkilis, Walker
Over the course of 48 hours last week, teams handed out nearly a half-billion dollars in long-term deals to Justin Verlander, Buster Posey, Adam Wainwright and Paul Goldschmidt, Bob Nightengale of USA Today notes. But not all of those expensive contracts go well, which leads to, for example, last week trade of Vernon Wells from the Angels to the Yankees. "We're becoming like the NBA," says Brewers GM Doug Melvin. "Instead of old-fashioned baseball trades, we're trading contracts. I can see more of these in the future. And that's concerning." A sidebar to Nightengale's article lists how much each team will be paying other teams this year, much of it for contracts gone bad. The Angels are paying the most money, most of it going to the Yankees for Wells. The Pirates are receiving the most money, much of it coming from the Yankees (for A.J. Burnett) and Astros (for Wandy Rodriguez). Here are more notes from around the league.
- Two bad months — a bad August 2011 for the Red Sox, and a bad August 2012 for the Indians – helped create the 2013 Indians, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes. Without the Red Sox's bad month, Cleveland wouldn't have been able to hire manager Terry Francona, and without the Indians' 5-24 August, the team's ownership might not have felt the need to make a splash in the offseason. That month of "zombie baseball" led to the acquisitions of Nick Swisher, Michael Bourn, Brett Myers and Mark Reynolds, Hoynes argues.
- The Red Sox will see former star Kevin Youkilis as he makes his regular-season debut with the Yankees on Monday, Peter Abraham of the Boston Glove notes. Youkilis signed a $12MM deal with the Yankees in the offseason. "It'll be weird," says Boston's Jon Lester. "I wouldn't never thought that it would happen. But he made that choice for him and his family. I'm sure he's excited about it."
- Pirates second baseman Neil Walker also says he isn't likely to discuss a long-term contract with the team during the regular season, Michael Sanserino of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports (on Twitter). The Bucs have not made a new offer to Walker, either, Sanserino says. Walker will make $3.3MM in 2013 in his first year of arbitration eligibility.

National League Notes: Cubs, Pirates, Wells
Manager Dale Sveum is prepared for the possibility that the Cubs could be sellers again at the July 31st trade deadline, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports. Sveum said he hopes to be in contention but will understand if the team needs to re-focus on 2014. "If your team is out of it, to start building and getting a healthier organization, unfortunately or fortunately, that's part of the business," he said. Here are some more notes from around the National League…
- Tom Singer of MLB.com explains that the Pirates would probably like to lock up core players such as Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez. While Walker would presumably like to stay with the Pirates, his hometown team, retaining him will be expensive, as Singer outlines. Alvarez, a New York native, might like the idea of playing for the Yankees in Singer's view.
- Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com hears that Kip Wells looked good throwing for Phillies people yesterday (Twitter link). Wells, who started seven games for the Padres last year, had good off-speed pitches, Heyman writes.
- Adrian Gonzalez said that he couldn't be happier to be playing for the Dodgers, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. "I'm really really happy and excited to be here and really excited about where the team is heading and what we have an opportunity to do here," Gonzalez said. The Dodgers acquired Gonzalez from the Red Sox in a blockbuster trade last August.

Quick Hits: Weaver, Giants, Dodgers, Walker
Jered Weaver isn't worried that he might have lost out on a bigger contract when he signed a five-year, $85MM extension with the Angels in 2011, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles times writes. "I don't give a [expletive]," says Weaver. "You can quote me on that." If not for the extension, Weaver would have been a free agent this past offseason, in which Zack Greinke received a $147MM contract from the Dodgers. Here are more notes from around the majors…
- Giants president Larry Baer is discussing long-term contract extensions with general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Sabean and Bochy are signed through 2014, but, after having won World Series in 2010 and 2012, Baer appears to be planning to keep them in San Francisco much longer, saying their extensions "won't be for one year."
- The Dodgers have discussed an extension with manager Don Mattingly, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times notes. "I think you might see something come up before the end of the year," says Dodgers chairman Mark Walter. Mattingly is in the last year of a three-year deal. Walter also says that the Dodgers, who already have a $230MM payroll in 2013, still have the financial flexibility to add substantial talent at this year's trade deadline, should the need arise. "I think in terms of who the players are, what we need and what our options are, rather than a total budget," Walter says. An extension for Clayton Kershaw could also be on the horizon.
- The Pirates and second baseman Neil Walker avoided arbitration with a one-year, $3.3MM deal in late January, but "it could be a matter of when, not if" the two parties reconvene talks on an extension, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes. Walker will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2016 season, at which point he will be 31 years old.

Some Albemarle County students are getting a jump start when it comes to choosing a career.
The annual career day for students at Broadus Wood Elementary School was held on Friday. Students learned about different jobs like being a chef, pilot, police officer and more.
Organizers say, having a career day can help teach kids exactly what they need to do to get the job they want.
"It's very important for students to have exposure to careers early on because we want them to see what options are available," says Principal Kendra King. "We also want them to know the choices that they need to make in order to accomplish their goals.
The Newsplex's Stephanie Satchell was on hand to spek to the kids about the news industry.

RTI has given us a lot of controllers over the years. Now, the company is ready to start shipping its latest, the T2x Wireless Controller.
The new product is the fifth generation of RTI's T2 wireless control interface. It's slimmer, sleeker and boasts better overall handling.
It's also got a flush-mount, edge-to-edge 2.8-inch color TFT LCD touchscreen. This area is completely customizable, thanks to RTI's Integration Designer software. Other features include better gesture support for scrolling and swiping, 47 programmable hard buttons, integrated grip sensors, and an accelerometer for movement control.
RTI also says that the T2x has three built-in wireless modes. This basically means that the remote can support 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet, as well as RTI's dual-RF platform. That RF allows for both 433-MHz RF for one-way control and 2.4-GHz ZigBee for bidirectional communication with RTI processors and compatible third-party components.
"The T2x is packed with cutting-edge features to provide users with a satisfying control experience," said Pete Baker, RTI's vice president of sales and marketing. "With an edge-to-edge touchscreen, grip sensors, and an accelerometer, powerful control has never been so affordable or looked so sleek. In addition, support for Wi-Fi, 433-MHz RF, and 2.4-GHz ZigBee allows installers to specify the controller into installations of any complexity without worrying about the communication method required."
RTI has started shipping the T2x, with an MSRP of $899.

Local Medical Issues
There are numerous local issues that can impact your pet's health, and that require your attention over the entire year. For example, during the hot summer months we see many pets who suffer from heat stroke.
Dogs and cats should never be left in cars, even if just for a few minutes. Their temperatures can quickly rise to dangerous levels, which can cause numerous medical problems and even death. If your pets are going to be spending a large amount of time outside, be sure that they have a shady spot to rest and plenty of water to avoid over heating.

False Tax Claim Gets Man 4 Years in PrisonThursday, July 11th, 2013

According to court records, Donus R. Sroufe filed a tax return for 2008 that claimed a refund of $1.7 million. On the tax return, Sroufe falsely claimed to have received $2.5 million from a U.S. Treasury

It has long been said that social media is a very valuable resource. The New York Police Department is finding out just how valuable it can be, as they are now using Facebook to track down criminals. This new initiative is incredibly useful. Think about your recent status updates. How many of them could be easily used to track you down? Something as benign as "Dinner at Olive Garden" could lead authorities right to your location if they ever had need to find you. This, coupled with Facebook's "Places" and "Location" features make criminals using Facebook a walking target.
This has become an online world. Everyone has a Facebook account, from mass murderers to your neighbor's dog, Poochie. We don't often realize just how much we share online, a simple fact on which the New York Police Department has decided to capitalize. The process is incredibly simple, and requires a detective only to log in to Facebook and do a quick search for a criminal's name. Using locations, status updates, pictures and their Facebook friends, detectives can track down the unwitting suspect with tremendous ease.
Criminals who think they are safe setting their account to "Private" have another think coming. Tech-savvy police forces have many ways around the privacy features so prominent on the site. Judges are even signing warrants and subpoenas that allow police to legally obtain any information posted on Facebook. The New York Police Department counts on criminals leaving their mark online, and most of the time they are not disappointed. They may even be able to stop a crime before it happens, or catch a lawbreaker who's deeds have gone unnoticed. For most of us, social networking is a quick way to stay in touch with friends and family. For an unwitting criminal, it can be a trap.

Shadow as a paintball company was founded on November 18, 2011 by a girl, who just a few years ago had no idea what this paintball was all about.
Welcome Shadow Paintball Equipment and owner Nathalie Whise to The Catshack Reports Paintbal News. Shadow Paintball Equipment was created with great love and passion for a wonderful man. He instilled that same girl with a passion for paintball. They spent hours on the field, the sweat poured from their heads. Their evening meetings have also been different. They didn't go to pubs or to the cinema. They had dates in the workshop.They were cleaning equipment there and making improvements to them. Thinking about how to do something better was very absorbing. Many times they got to sleep on a bed full of markers, regulators and barrels… and earned a few extra bruises
Shadow is a 100% European company. One of the intentions for creating the company was to prove to people that you can make the best quality product with excellent materials without the use of subcontractors in China, Taiwan and Pakistan.
Shadow is also all about keeping the price point on merchandise good for players. This they have done and they are proud of it. Europe is a beautiful place with wonderful, intelligent people, it's nice to be able work with them so that they don't have to move away.
Nathalie doesn't consider herself as a person who has experience in paintball. She is from a family of technologists. Her parents taught her that everything she does has to be simple yet have high quality standards. She added a third adjective: attractive . She work's this way. Simple, high quality and attractive.
Each of us have different tastes. One prefers steak well-done, another rare and yet another is a vegetarian. Following this line of thought, Shadow supplies the players with something no manufacturer has given thus far – full customization of the barrel. You can order the barrel with your name, nickname, team name, store name, you can also ask for different colors.
You can have barrel with long or short back, aluminum or carbon fiber, one-piece and two-piece. However, they don't want to focus only on the barrels. They have a few more interesting projects. One of them, which soon will be on the market, is a high end marker. For Nathalie personally (she's probably not objective) she fell in love yet again. Keeping with old traditions, she sleeps with this marker almost every night
Shadow will appear this year at the Millennium tournament series. Shadow is also curious about the PSP. If Shadow has enough time, they will book tickets to the United States and see how paintball is in America.
When asked what they foresee for paintball in future, "in 2023 Shadow will play paintball on Mars. It will be necessary to create a new league: Earth Players vs Aliens ;)" says Nathalie.

RT @LeahR77: For The #Ferguson Protest Challenged http://t.co/uGkp4VNpVm
Character Assassins On Both Sides
Back in 2008, I spent a lot of time bashing on Team Obama for it's unrelenting character smears of Hillary Clinton (an unrelenting attack that we just found out was officially sanctioned by then Candidate Obama himself). Well it seems that there is some character assassination going on this year - on the right hand side of the aisle. Team Romney - taking a page directly from Barack Obama's campaign playbook, has decided to engage in some very egregious character assassination of it's own.
Needing to convince Republican voters before the Florida primary on Tuesday that Newt Gingrich is an unacceptable option as the party's presidential nominee, Mr. Romney is increasingly carrying out the attack himself.
It is hardly his first foray onto the dark side, but it is the most intense of his political career and a particular challenge for a candidate whose demeanor has been defined largely by caution and a can-do, problem-solving attitude.
Since his loss in the South Carolina primary on Saturday, Mr. Romney and his aides have carefully planned lines of attack that have emptied their opposition research file against Mr. Gingrich and put Mr. Romney in the midst of a highly personal battle in which he is no longer relying on advertising by an outside group to take the toughest shots at his opponent.
Mr. Romney is now fully participating in his campaign's efforts to attack Mr. Gingrich's morals and raise doubts about his emotional stability. Whether he can be withering enough without turning off voters or will appear too politically calculated is one of the biggest tests so far of his skills as a candidate.
The attacks were highly coordinated coming both from the campaign and surrogates. One of the more questionable attacks is one that even CNN had to classify as "Misleading"...
The verdict: Misleading. While Romney says he doubted the ad was his, a news release sent by his press office one day before the debate, includes a link to the Spanish-language radio ad and offers highlights of the ad's major themes, including the, "Spanish is the language of the ghetto" accusation. The ad, entitled, "Hechos," or "Facts," includes examples that attempt to show that Gingrich is not a "Reagan conservative." It is clear from both the news release and the ad itself that it was "Paid For by Romney for President, Incorporated."
While Spanish is the largest single language other than English used in bilingual education in the United States, Gingrich is correct that he did not specifically refer to Spanish as the language of the ghetto. However, he did release the video later saying his word choice in the March 31 speech was not the best.
It was an attack so cowardly that when questioned on it during last Thursday's debate, Governor Romney initially tried to blame it on his Super PAC - a dodge that Wolf Blitzer did not let him get away with.
The attacks by the surrogates have been especially egregious. Four banner headlines on the Drudge Report blare that Newt hated Reagan and talked badly about him and that he kicked the Reagan revolution to the curb like yesterday's garbage. The problem is that people tied to Reagan - including his son Michael - have refuted Team Romney's claims. The attacks were so bad, that top conservative apologists Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin (the first two have refused to endorse in the primary and Levin is a Santorum guy) have spent the last two days vociferously defending Gingrich from the attacks.
Jeffrey Lord, a former Reagan Staffer, wrote what is probably the definitive defense of Gingrich on the pages of American Spectator.
If politics were sports, the period of the Reagan Revolution from 1981-1989 would be the 1927 Yankees. Without doubt, Ronald Reagan, would be the political version of Babe Ruth. As seen today by his fellow Americans, Reagan is viewed as America's greatest president in poll after poll (as in this one last year from Gallup that puts him even above the revered Abraham Lincoln).
But just as Babe Ruth was the leader of the Yankees, the leader of the team -- there was a team. Without which there would have been no Murderers' Row. Not to mention, no pennant and no World Series.
Ronald Reagan and the Reagan Revolution that he led had the political, intellectual, and governmental version of Murderers' Row. There was vision, energy, and principle when they ran out onto the political playing field. As with the Yankees of 1927, the Reagan Revolution had a star line-up. ...
...Newt Gingrich was part of the Reagan Revolution's Murderers' Row. And anybody who was in Washington in the day, much less in the Reagan White House or the 1984 Reagan re-election campaign (and I would make that particular cut of three), knew it.
Mitt Romney - besides not being in Washington DC in the day - was not even a Conservative.
The closest Mitt Romney ever got to the Reagan Revolution is apparently because he reads about it 30 years later. And he isn't even reading everything he should. This is the man, remember, who proudly professed when running against Ted Kennedy in 1994:
"I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush"
A peculiar stance considering Reagan carried Massachusetts twice in his two presidential landslides.
The attacks have been so egregious that Tea Party angel Sarah Palin took to the pages of Facebook to decry the attacks.
We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent.
We will look back on this week and realize that something changed. I have given numerous interviews wherein I espoused the benefits of thorough vetting during aggressive contested primary elections, but this week's tactics aren't what I meant. Those who claim allegiance to Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment should stop and think about where we are today. Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, the fathers of the modern conservative movement, would be ashamed of us in this primary. Let me make clear that I have no problem with the routine rough and tumble of a heated campaign. As I said at the first Tea Party convention two years ago, I am in favor of contested primaries and healthy, pointed debate. They help focus candidates and the electorate. I have fought in tough and heated contested primaries myself. But what we have seen in Florida this week is beyond the pale. It was unprecedented in GOP primaries
I understand the reason why Team Romney is doing this. They THINK that the former Speaker won South Carolina by being "on the attack". However, they are sadly mistaken.
Successful politicians absorb the signals and change up. Not Mr. Romney. If politics were evolution, the governor would still be swimming in the primordial soup.
That much was clear this week. The first signal was Mr. Gingrich's resounding victory in South Carolina. If Mr. Romney were listening, he'd have understood that vote was as much against him as it was for Mr. Gingrich. It took but one punchy Gingrich debate performance to have voters abandoning the front-runner in droves.
South Carolina voters also clearly explained why. Exit polls showed that Mr. Romney's two (and only) messages—that he is the best suited to turn around the economy and to defeat Barack Obama—aren't working for the majority of voters. Mr. Gingrich beat Mr. Romney on both issues. The electorate explained that they first and foremost want a candidate willing to passionately promote conservative ideals.
Emphasis mine. This is something that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity both picked up on Monday. It is something that Team Romney has YET to pick up on.
This is not opinion - this is fact based on exit polling after last week's South Carolina primary. People who self identified as "Somewhat" or "Very" conservative broke overwhelmingly for Newt Gingrich - while those who self identified as "Moderate" or "Liberal" broke for Romney.
It is a message that Team Romney needs to pick up on quickly. Because if he doesn't, when he goes up against the Obama Slime Machine, they are going to be murdered (metaphorically of course) and the base will not be there to prop him up. The base already suspects that both front runners are "conservatives of convenience" and will need reminding of their conservative promises. However, if you don't even attempt to come up with a conservative message, the base is just as likely to stay home.
Team Romney can still pull this out. He needs to find a conservative message and sell it like he really believes it. This cold, calculating "Presidential" air he is trying to project only makes him look cold and calculating...and we already have cold and calculating in the White House.
UPDATE: The NYTimes is now reporting that Team Romney definitely coordinated the attacks this week against Newt Gingrich up to AND INCLUDING the mass of negative headlines on the Drudge Report
A team of some of the most fearsome researchers in the business, led by Mr. Romney's campaign manager, Matt Rhoades, spent days dispensing negative information about Mr. Gingrich, much of it finding its way to the influential Drudge Report, which often serves as a guide for conservative talk radio and television assignment editors and to which Mr. Rhoades has close ties.
The reason....FEAR...
The size and enthusiasm of Mr. Gingrich's events scared supporters of Mr. Romney, who had struggled to build similar audiences. Local activists backing Mr. Romney complained that his Boston team was too regimented and slow to meet the challenge.
Mitt Romney saw Florida slipping away from him so he lashed out. These are not the actions of a confident candidate - these are the actions of a desperate, despicable campaign. The GOP deserves better than this.

South America's sole representative on the list of the world's top 50 DJs is Hernan Cattaneo of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Dude ranks No. 11, but his exotic vibe and exquisite good looks could help push him even further up the list. Which isn't to say that his music couldn't do the trick on its own. If his Renaissance: The Master Series and his most recent release, the two-disc set Sequential, are any indicators, his skills alone have major star quality. His sound is steeped in minimal synth progressions, mixed with atmospherically cool melodies, sensual beats and airy female vocals that even a non-dance fan could get into. Cattaneo visits Clark's and Dean's Credit Clothing today, with Sean Carnahan, Bobby Blyss, Hippo and Estefex kicking off the night.

Evans has filed suit against the university and athletic director Ed Lehotak. He alleges a breech of contract, defamation and his reputation has been put in a false light.
Last season the Bruins were highly ranked in NAIA but had to forfeit most of their games due to a transcript problem with a player who had transferred in from Texas.
The lawsuit alleges a university administrator was responsible for monitoring those records, but Evans lost his job over it. "Until I clear my name and the truth comes out," said Evans, "its probably impossible to get a job." He claims he's been turned down for 60 college coaching jobs.
His attorney Brian Jorde said, "There's a huge cloud over Mr. Evans right now. He's one of the most well known coaches in the metro area and this is hanging over his head until we can get it resolved."
The suit was filed in Sarpy County last Friday. The law firm representing Bellevue University had not received a copy yet. Public Affairs Director Jim Maxwell said that makes it difficult to provide comment without review of the lawsuit.
Evans said the lawsuit is also intended to set the record straight with his former players. "I was not responsible for one thing that happened which cost them their season."
Evans seeks potential lost earnings from the coaching job that paid him $75,000 a year.

In a perfect world, our world's energy is powered by renewable sources, business sustainability is the norm, and sustainable lifestyles abound. While we're not quite there yet, as a sustainability consultant, I ask, "What will get us there?"
Interestingly, it's about being curious. It's about being in the space of sincere inquiry. Fortunately, eco awareness is on the rise. Proactive sustainable businesses are leading the way accompanied by thought leaders, executives, politicians, and such to address the environmental issues of our time. But it's the people that haven't quite found the value in living green that interests me the most. Why? Because those that begin to ask questions are the very ones that powerfully contribute to the collective conversation on climate change and its solutions.
• Why Should I Care About Global Warming?
• My lifestyle really isn't adding to the problem...is it?
• I drive a fuel-efficient vehicle, isn't that enough?
• Can my little eco actions really make a difference?
The value is in the question. To ask, inherently means there is sparked eco awareness within the questioner. To ask, means clarification is needed. To ask, means I'm looking for value.
The value is in the question. To ask, inherently means there is sparked eco awareness within the questioner. To ask, means clarification is needed. To ask, means I'm looking for value.
Our approach at Taiga Company is to spark or ignite enthusiasm in those not seeing value in environmental causes and further accelerate commitment in those that do. There are many reasons people choose to embrace eco awareness but what are some of the benefits to living a sustainable lifestyle?
• Save Money
• Healthier living: eating organic foods and using eco friendly cleaning products and other natural home products is going to have a positive effect on your well being and the well being of your family.
• Improved quality of life and work life balance.
• By acting responsibly today, you can help ensure resiliency and health of the earth for future generations.
• Inspire others by living a sustainable lifestyle.
• Feel good about yourself and your eco achievements.
• Reconnect with everything local.
• Gain a competitive edge - build your career with eco awareness.
• Become an educated and conscious consumer.
Within our eco friendly training programs, it is rewarding when a client finds the value in "going green" for themselves and embraces eco awareness in their life. The positive impact on the environment is exponential with more and more people seeking eco awareness in their personal lives and in their work. If you need help in building a sustainable lifestyle or bringing eco awareness into an area of your life, we are here to help.

He is tricked into joining the team again by a rival on his team, Ed Kirby, who uses the affection Marty has for Patricia Carlyle against him at a dance for football players only. Marty rejoins the team, but still doesn't have the respect of Ed or the rest of his teammates. During a game both Marty and Ed are removed from the game and get in a fight in the locker room. After the fight, Ed realizes that Marty is not a coward and has earned his respect. They leave the locker room together and go on to win the game.

Sometimes parents experience difficulties sending children to school. The Education Welfare Service (part of the Education Support Team) are available to provide help and support.
In Jersey a child must attend school from the 1st day of the school term in which their 5th birthday falls until the 30th June in the school year in that they are 16.
For the purposes of the law the following periods in any school year are school terms:
Education (Jersey) Law 1999 on Jersey Law website
An education welfare officer visits every school regularly to help the staff, parents and pupils overcome problems that are getting in the way of good attendance. The following schools all have an attendance officer based on site:
You and your child are very welcome to contact the Education Welfare Service (part of the Education Support Team) directly if you require our help. We are well placed to provide assistance ourselves or to help you find the right specialist help.
We believe that through regular attendance at school, children and young people can be given the best start in life. Good attendance will provide the opportunity for them to achieve their potential and a give them a better chance to make wise decisions in the future. We cannot do this alone and so we rely on the support and active encouragement of schools, parents, pupils and the community to help all our pupils do as well as possible at school.
All children have a right to a good education and it is the responsibility of parents to make sure that they receive it. Parents are key to good attendance at school and must make sure their children grow up with the clear message that attending school every day is expected of them.
Parents must ensure their child is registered at school and attend regularly and on time. If your child is absent when the register is being called at the beginning of the morning session or during the afternoon session, they will be marked absent. The school has to decide if the absence is 'authorised' (approved by the school according to clear attendance guidance) or 'unauthorised' (not fitting one of the approved categories).
From time to time we patrol the streets and town centre during school times in case of truancy. If school pupils are found to be out of school they will be directed to return to their schools and there will be a follow-up with both the school and the child's family.
Sometimes pupils have difficulties with other children in the school, with staff, or with their work. Any of these can prompt a fall in attendance. Whenever a parent thinks there is a problem it is really important that the difficulty is discussed with the school.
If you are worried, make an appointment to see the head teacher, head of year or class teacher and talk through the issues.
Sometimes pupils have difficulties outside school, with friends or family, which can also create attendance problems. You and your child are welcome to talk to the school or to the education welfare officer.
It is the legal duty of every parent to make sure that their children who are registered at a school attend it regularly and on time. Failure to carry out this duty is an offence and may be referred to the parish hall or the magistrate's court in accordance with Article 12 of the Education (Jersey) Law 1999.
If a pupil has a poor attendance record they may be brought before the court where an Education Supervision Order may be made. That order gives the Department for Education, Sport and Culture considerable powers to direct the pupil and the parents in decisions about education.
If your child is going to be absent, they should give the school an explanation. We recommend you do this on the first day of the absence and follow it up again when they return to school.
Taking a pupil out of school for a holiday can be very disruptive to their own education and can disrupt the education of others in the class. Before arranging a holiday during term time, you are encouraged to talk to the head teacher or another senior member of the school staff. You should consider:
Head teachers may give permission for your child to be absent from school for a family holiday . They do not have to agree and there is no right to absence for holiday reasons. If you want your child to take time off school for more than 10 school days for a holiday, you must direct this request to the Director for Education, Sport and Culture.
Importantly, if you are considering taking a holiday in term time you should ask well in advance and before making a booking.

First lady Michelle Obama pointed to a South Side neighborhood while discussing the struggle facing children who grow up in violent communities and called on the nation to "embrace" the group, which often feels forgotten.
In an interview with CBS that aired Sunday, the first lady spoke of visiting Harper High School students in April in the West Englewood neighborhood, which she said "has been riddled with violence."
She said she heard "stories of how every day [students] wake up and they wonder whether they're going to make it to school alive. I mean every single kid worries about their own death, or the death of someone, every single day."
"One kid told me he felt like he lived in a cage because he feels like his community is unseen, unheard, and nobody cares about it. What's our obligation to these kids? We do have one."
The White House pointed out that 29 current or former Harper students had been shot in the past year. Eight of them were killed.
"We have millions of kids living in these kinds of circumstances, and we as a nation have to embrace these kids and let them know that we hear them, we see them," said the first lady, who grew up on the South Side. She visited the school not long after the shooting death of 15-year-old honors student Hadiya Pendleton, which occurred about a mile from the Obama family's Kenwood home.
In a speech in Chicago last month, the first lady said, "Hadiya Pendleton was me, and I was her."

Gang, excellent show Tuesday. In fact, great start to the week. And for all you newcomers who are cruising the interwebs looking for stuff on Derek Dooley and the tire fire that is your Tennessee football program, welcome. Feel free to swing by anytime, because as Bluto says in "Animal House," it don't cost nothing.
We're a family-oriented, interweb-based sports column that tries to answer every question, avoid politics if at all possible and refers to ourselves in the third-person plural. Keep an eye out for a slew of movie quotes, and as always, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
Oh yeah, every Friday we have a mailbag where we answer your questions. Feel free to shoot along your query — we have a couple of spots open.
From the "Talks too much" studios, here we go.
UT football
The main topic of discussion across the state has been the status of Derek Dooley. Our UT beat ace Downtown Patrick Brown has been all over this story and we've had that multiple unnamed sources have said Dooley will not return for his fourth year. We've also had Dooley saying UT AD Dave Hart told Dooley he has not made up his mind.
Here's what we know: The University of Tennessee has lost 180 SEC football games ever; Dooley has lost 18 of them. The Vols have been playing SEC football since 1933, which means Dooley has accounted for 10 percent of the program's SEC defeats in less than four percent of the school's SEC seasons. Talk about overachieving at underachieving. OUCH-standing.
Here's what else we know: Since reporting in Monday's paper that Dooley's future is grim, we've been told more and more frequently by people with various ties to the program that there's no way for Dooley to salvage his gig. So it goes.
We believe — and this belief is based on some pretty good intel — that the decision to cut bait has been made and the only reason that it has not been announced is to try to give the players every chance to beat Vandy and keep alive any bowl chances. And in truth, after the meltdowns that were Fulmer's firing (and the immediate loss to Wyoming in 2008) and the brutal timing that was Mike Hamilton saying the "jury is out" on Bruce Pearl two days before a Biblical whipping by Michigan in the NCAA tournament, this seems to be the fairest move to all involved. Kudos to Hart and his staff for actually thinking about the players.
And that's how it should be, because the fact that Tennessee — a 4-point underdog to the Commodores — needs every emotional edge to try to top Vandy to become bowl eligible is every bit as damning for Dooley as the river of unflattering numbers on his resume.
More SEC stuff
There is a great three-level divide in the SEC this year.
Sure, it appears unlikely that college football's best conference will have the BCS champ for the seventh consecutive season. As SEC ace David Paschall tells us here, Georgia and Alabama need some help in the final three weeks of the season.
Still, there are six SEC teams in the top nine of the current BCS standings — and of the combined nine losses of those six teams, all of them have come against each other.
So you may have a title game with Oregon and Kansas State or Notre Dame, and that's nice. And the BCS is what it is. The system has benefitted the SEC as much as any league — although in 2004 Auburn got jobbed.
Let's go to 5-at-10 correspondent Hyman Roth: There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada... made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Greene, and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen; I didn't ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!
Thanks Hyman, and yes, this is the business we have chosen.
And whether the SEC gets some help and gets into the title dance, there's still no debating where the toughest college football neighborhood is.
It's over here on this side of the tracks.
Side note: Here's the SEC team-by-team breakdown we did for today's TFP: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2012/nov/14/sec-ratings-and-rantings-of-nov-14/
Shout out to the Trios
OK, we had some serious topics so far. Let's lighten it up a little bit, huh?
Happy 48th birthday to Joseph Simmons. No, he's not the man you know better as Joe the Policeman from the What's Going Down episode of "That's My Mama."
No, Joe Simmons is Reverend Run from Run DMC fame. And if you think of the people that have changed perception of their industry, Run DMC is one of the forefathers of rap. In fact, their iconic duet with Aerosmith in "Walk This Way" during the early days of MTV (back when MTV played videos) brought rap music to the masses. Debate whether that's a good thing or not, but Run, D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay were the pioneers, and if you're roughly the 5-at-10's age — We're a MAN! We're 42! — then you went through several "Raising Hell" cassette tapes.
My Adidas, walking on the hard wood floors...
In honor of Run DMC, what is the sports Mount Rushmore of trios? We'll take Aikman-Smith-Irvin, Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz, Bird-McHale-Parrish and Jordan-Pippen-and the guy who slings popcorn.
This and that
— It was a fun night of college hoops in the Georgia Dome. Michigan State topped Kansas. Duke outlasted Kentucky. Each of those teams will be around for the long haul. But as our ace columnist Mark Wiedmer accurately wrote here, this is barely a gauge. If the college basketball season is a meal at a steakhouse, November is even before the Bloomin' Onion. Heck, it's the peanuts in the bar waiting for your dining beeper to go off. Is this place beeper friendly? Yes, the 5-at-10 is beeper friendly. Side lament: Man, we wish we would have invented those funny-shaped dining beepers/flashers. Genius. Not like polio vaccine or TV remote control genius, but dang smart enough to hang up the working shoes for a career. Alas.
— It was a rough Monday night for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. In a cold and steady rain his team looked sluggish. He injured his right shoulder and is questionable for this week's showdown with Baltimore. And, ESPN made a mistake on one of their graphics about Big Ben. In an effort to praise Ben's success with short passes (dinking and dunking), ESPN praised his "Drink and Drunk" style. Stay thirsty my friends.
— Hey, when you make your living with words, there's always a head-scratching mistake out there for everyone. What's the 5-at-10's biggest? Well, there's two. When we were a young reporter — been on the job like three months at the Newnan Times-Herald — we wrote about a Christmas basketball scrimmage at the local high school. In an effort to set the scene, we described the teams as "shirts-and-skins" only we left the 'r' out of shirts. Changes the description a touch, huh? The other one was eight years ago here at the TFP, and our sports page had said someone who was very sick was dead. That person had not died, but when they did pass roughly six months after the out mistake, Brad Shepard, who was on our staff at the time, quipped, "Heck, we had that story six months ago." Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you; cry and they think your a mama's boy.
— Monster trade in baseball Monday with the Toronto Blue Jays sending some prospects, the attitude formerly known as Yunel Escobar, some Molson and three bats, two balls and a weekend stay at Sky Dome to the Miami Marlins for Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle. Good thing the Molson was in there or it really would have been a one-sided deal, huh? Seriously, one of the great benefits of a salary cap is the handcuffs it puts on teams from hitting the reset button with massive salary dumps. If we were a Marlins season-ticket holder, we'd have some questions, and they would have nothing to do with a phone bill. Who ordered this Code Red roster cleansing and who's refunding us on our season tickets?
Today's question
We wrote earlier in the week that the top three names we've heard on the Vols wish list are:
1) Jon Gruden, 2) Bob Stoops, 3) Charlie Strong.
We are not into the rumor-gouging that has turned Gruden into a combo of Chuck Norris-Tim Tebow-Mike Ditka-Mother Teresa in the Volunteer state. Seriously, just because Gruden mentioned that Eric Berry went to UT does not mean he's head this way. That said, we know the powers that be in and out of the athletic department (wink, wink) are doing everything possible to try to land Gruden. Will it work? Don't know if anyone this side of Gruden knows, but they are leaving no stone unturned and no check unwritten.
That said, and we've listed the three names we've heard most frequently, if you take Gruden off the list since he's obviously every Johnny Vols Fan's No. 1 pick, here's your chance to make your case for who you want the next Vols coach to be. And if you are a non-Johnny Vols Fan, we know you want Derek Dooley to get just one more year. So for non-Johnny Vols Fans, who would you least like to see head to the 865 and awake the beast?
Have at it, and let's be careful out there.
Jay was named the Sports Editor of the Times Free Press in 2003 and started with the newspaper in May 2002 as the Deputy Sports Editor. He was born and raised in Smyrna, Ga., and graduated from Auburn University before starting his newspaper career in 1997 with the Newnan (Ga.) Times Herald. Stops in Clayton and Henry counties in Georgia and two years as the Sports Editor of the Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal preceded Jay's ...
How about the Heatles - LeBron, Wade, and what's his name the good but not great player who always appears with the first two. Bush, Bosch, something like that. The Steelers with Swann, Harris, and Bradshaw were kind of the original triplets back in the day. The Steelers also had a trio on defense Greene, Ham, Lambert and or Blount. Can a team have more than one trio? Finally, better rock trio - Rush or Triumph?
OK, it's only November roundball, but for some of us, the pointy ball season is over.
Brittney and her Baylor running mates went 40-0 last year, and will repeat. Period. Griner is the female Anthony Davis surrounded by little girls (though her team mates are very good). They demolished The Lady Cats, but they will crush everybody, including UConn. The Lady Cats will do fine in the SEC.
The story out of Atlanta isn't that Duke won (I predicted that). The story is that KY came very close, without a point guard. I don't know how good Harrow is, but with just a semblance of PG flow, The Cats would've won. They showed much more aggressiveness and rebounding than in game one, and defended the three point shot adequately. And the talent we knew they had is shining through.
Without Shabazz, the Uclans are weak. They edged UCIRV by one.
Lets see, we'll go Jordan, Pippen, and Horace Grant's Rec Specs, not Horace, just the Specs. Followed by Dylan, his guitar, and his harmonica. And rounding out my trio of trios, since someone already mentioned Jimi, I choose the Beastie Boys because "my name's Mike D and I'm about to get money." That and they help me fight for my right to party, which is nice of them to do.
Honorable mention to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli as well as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Nerd Alert. Back to the basement I go with my hot pockets in tow.
TF--CSN were better with Y, but you gotta give ZZ bonus points for the facial hair.
As for sports trios, old-timers like fec and me remember Tinker, Evans & Chance. I love the Braves pitchers Jay mentioned, but I also like Koufax, Drysdale, Podres. And remember the Braves staff Spahn, Sain, Rain?
Football's tough because of the many possible combos, but Morris, Csonka, Klick were solid in the day (or maybe Csonka, Morris, Little). Of course there were The Thee Amigos. Soon we may enshrine receivers Jones, White, Gonzalez, and in the might've been category, Rogers, Hunter, Patterson.
And Dr. B told us Bray, Patterson, Hunter would be the greatest ever, but he should stick to doctoring.
Do girls at girls' schools play shirts and skins?
I'll take Nicklaus, Palmer, Player for the win, Peter.
Tennessee's new coach will be Governor Bill Haslam stepping up to the most important job in the great State of Tennessee. If things don't go so well, the Haslam family can buy him out.
On a more substantial level, the understanding is Stoops just moved into his dream house outside Norman. Just another nail in the hopes of attracting Coach Stoops to K-Town.
Someone not on the list, what about Gary Patterson at TCU?
Chas9, I'm not a fan except for their anthem, The Beastie Boys. 10 Ring, Hanson seems more at home with your laid back stylings.
Then there's a whole list of Motown ladies: The Supremes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas for two.
Who can forget Cartman's Christian super group (with Token and Butters) Faith Plus One?
As they say on talk radio, long time listener (reader) - 1st time caller (comment-poster) ... as a Johnny Vols Fan, my wish-list is unrealistic; but I offer a prediction: Pete Carroll. Friend of mine who follows the Seahawks says the only reason he is in Seattle was to "stay one step ahead of the NCAA Posse" and their invasion of Heritage Hall. Supposedly, Pete prefers the college game and would be interested if the Big Orange called. Thoughts?
As for trios, with Duke's big win last night, I'll go early 90's Devils with Laettner, Hurley, and Hill (Grant, not Thomas). I know it's just college hoops ... but, how many back-to-back Champs since Wooden (I know Gator fans, you did it too).
Got a mailbag question ... but I'm a week late. Hopefully, this is still relevant. I think numerous Johnny Vols Fans were excited with the hiring of Nick Saban/Kirby Smart disciple, Sal Sunseri (is it SALLLL or SUNSEERRRII?) ... we know how that worked out. I'm wondering about who do you think is the most overrated Defensive Coordinator? Watching the Bama vs. LSU game(yes, I'm a week late), I had flashbacks to "3rd & Chavis," where Johnny Chavis (granted, ALL TN fans would take Chavis right now today) goes into his "Mustang" package (side note - If Chavis runs the Mustang, is Sunseri's version called the 'Matador'?). McCarron had done NOTHING in the 2nd Half and carved the 'Mustang' like he was throwing routes on air. On the same night (granted a week late), the great Monte Kiffin's Defense gave up a school record(SC football dates of 1888) 730 yards (321 and 5 TD's to RB Barner) and 62 points! Yes, I know that Chavis has directed some of the best defenses in the game during his years in Baton Rouge and Kiffin invented the famed 'Tampa 2,' but can you think of anyone more over-rated?
From friend of the show StuckinKent—
Also, did you hear that Bray said, "I get paid to win football games." Has Cecil Newton suddenly become Bray's father too? Or is this an NCAA investigation waiting to happen? Or was it just a slip of the tongue?
Kentucky is good, but they are 3 or 4 seed good, not 1 seed good. I think at the end of the year, they will be a 3 or a 4 seed. I'm not sure if they'll get to the Final Four like they did two years ago as a 4 seed. But this team is going to have LOOOONG stretches where they don't score almost every night.
Tennessee's defensive backs may just be knuckleheads. I watched the game again and focused on the mayhem taking place in the secondary and there's no way they should been lost so many times unless they're just not very bright. It's not just the weekly preparation and the calls from the sideline or the box.
TennFlyer —
Thought about Bradshaw, Swann and Stallworth, but we hated the Steelers growing up. The football runner-up to the Cowboys' Big Three was Montana-Craig-Rice. And those Steelers' defenses had way more than three.
Rush... by a lot. Like by Oregon over Cal and Georgia over Auburn lots.
9er —
Saw that Baylor-Lady Cats score and thought, "Wow, Griner is Alcinder of the women's game."
And cut Dr. B — he's a doctor after all — some slack. Just got off the phone with Mel Kiper Jr. — we love the draft, but you know this — and let's just say that MK Jr is quite fond of Patterson and Hunter.
McPell —
You keep bringing up those good ole' days and you're going to make us tear up.
962 —
We have forever said that License to Ill is on the Rushmore of best debut albums ever. M.C.A get on the mic my man.
And you have to give us a head's up when you flip the nerd switch. We can't see the hot pockets over the interwebs. And if you break out a 12-sided die, we're going to schedule an intervention.
Addicted —
How you been? And that's a strong trio. Well-played indeed.
FE to the C —
Interesting stuff about Stoops' crib.
As for Patterson, he said thanks but no thanks three years ago. Don't see him changing his mind now when he's a lot closer to his dream job — Hello Texas — than he was before.
And did you really say Hanson is more in our range?
We don't even know who you are any more.
Back-up QB —
You're new Delta Tau Chi name is June Jones. Why? Why not.
Seriously, great mailbag question — it's in. As for Pete Carroll, that would be a home run, and it's a name we hope Auburn contacts if/when the Tigers make a change.
Stuck —
Slip of the tongue with Bray. And if they are paying him to win football games, UT needs some refunds.
Let UK mature. It's a long march to March.
— 5-at-10
Been just fine, except for stupid Gamecocks. As a Bulldog fan I have grown to learn how to be cautiously optimistic. Hope for the best and expect the worst. Every since that SEC championship game of first half missed opportunities and second half meltdown, it's hard to get excited until the the final score is posted. And even then you know there is another three headed monster to slay next week standing in your way of reaching the mountain top. While others in our midst have been able to accomplish this feat, we are a long way removed from Herschel and 1980 (I was 11). We hope, dream and even barter with God and how we will be better, if HE will just deliver us a National Championship, to no avail. I tend to hang my hat on those things that I can count on like....winter rates start tomorrow at Bears Trace. And shortly after we finish taking down the Christmas decorations, being upset about the BCS and filling out our college hoops brackets, we will be heading down I-20 East singing "Augusta, your dogwoods and pines.......". I have heard you comment in this forum, your limited belief in Karma. I would ask if you have put any thought into the possibility that Chizik "sold his soul" for Mr. Newton and a Championship?
Stucky--Too early to tell, but I'd bet KY will be a 1 or 2 seed.
Jay--Just got an encrypted email from a shirtless FBI agent denying Gruden will be named CIA director this evening, but the Hooters jet landed at McLean AFB about 30 minutes ago. Just sayin'.
And the now-availble David Petraeus could be K-town's new coach. A leader's a leader. Talk about a defense! Of course, you'd want to hide the volleyball coach. He likes the athletic types.
Laughter —
Great call. The Lakers guys do have more titles than the Celtics' trio.
And yes, the UT DBs appear to be knuckleheads. And their lack of skills coupled with Sal Sunseri — SAAALLLLL!!! — is the SEC definition of the blind leading the blind.
June —
We're all in this thing together. And no way we'd make fun of anyone's name.
Well, with the exception of Spy, that is.
And the proper response is "Thank you sir may we have another."
Addicted —
Been a strange year, no doubt. Has there ever been a quieter 11-1 in SEC history? And have we gotten to the point that Mark Richt is like a great Carhardt coat? We take for granted that it's going to be warm and durable — never flashy and likely won't ever wear it to a BCS party — but still a really good coat.
As for Karma and the Chiz, well, who knows. We'll say this though: If it cost us $180K and Gene Chizik's soul for a national title, then we got out cheap.
Amen and pass the 2010 season highlights DVD.
— 5-at-10
Jay, your Carhardt metaphor was sharp. I like your style. They just so happened to show the 2001 UT vs UGA game on Fox South last night and the analysts were discussing the first year Georgia coach and whether he was going to make it in the SEC. Funny looking back at how well Richt has done in his time there and how much Casey Clausen looked like Iceman with a helmet.
And two rolls of my dodecahedron reveal that the probabilty of you getting some of my delicious hot pockets are not good and also that if there is going to be an intervention sprung on me it will likely not be for nerd-dom, but one of my many other vices.
Sports trios???? Gotta go with Moe, Larry, and Curly playing golf. Not only did they get in 18 holes in that episode, but Curly did his laundry in the ball washer while Moe and Larry did some expert grounds keeping. On a serious note - Magic, Kareem, Worthy??? At least 3 titles together...Starr, Hornung, Taylor??? Multiple championships and all HOF'ers....Parker, Duncan, Ginobli (who I still say played Balki on the tv sitcom "Perfect Strangers")???? heart and soul of multiple championships.

NEW FEATURE ALERT!! That's right ladies and gentlemen, we're excited to announce the launch our newest feature, the Hello Bar Demo Editor. A preview mode for anyone interested or a current user to see what a Hello Bar looks like on their website.
There has been some changes to our homepage lately and the most recent was the adding of our, "Try The Demo" button. We wanted to open the opportunity for anyone to test a Hello Bar on their site, not just registered users. The new Demo Editor is a fully customizable editor that you can launch from our homepage allowing you to create a Hello Bar on any website. Pretty slick huh?
It works like this. Click the "Try The Demo" button on the homepage. Enter any URL of your choosing could your website, a friends, or even your Facebook application. If you're unsure of which URL to choose, we've provided a few examples of popular websites around the web. Once you've entered a URL, you will be shown a notification bar at the top of the website. Now it's time to have some fun.
With the demo feature, you now have a full editor at your finger tips before logging in. You can test any message and link to find the perfect fit for visitors on your website. Make sure to keep the message under 85 characters. Aside from the perfect message, you want to make the web toolbar noticeable and look good on your website. Here you have a variety of fonts (even Times New Roman!) along with a loaded color palette to tweak every option until you have the perfect fit.
So you've created that perfect Hello Bar, now what?
We went the extra mile to make sure you wouldn't have to ask yourself that questions. The demo includes two features for allowing faster integration of a Hello Bar. We brought the "send to a friend" feature out from within the create a Hello Bar section to give you the option to send a direct link of your perfect Hello Bar to anyone.
Say you're a web developer and know the benefits of having a notification bar on your website. Instead of having meetings pitching the idea, sending around documentation, use the demo to create the desired look and feel of the Hello Bar and send it to the parties involved.
Now that you've seen what the Hello Bar looks like on your site, created the perfect look, sent it to everyone, go ahead and click "Add This To Your Site" and it'll be saved to your account or you'll just need 60 seconds to sign up for account.
More new features and improvements coming. Let us know what you think of the demo and how it has worked for you.
