The franchise tag is a fickle beast from year to year. Two years ago 19 players were tagged, and then in 2013 that number fell to eight.
This year the total fell even further to six tag uses. Prior to the tags just before today's deadline (more forthcoming), Brian Orakpo was also tagged, and last week Nick Folk, Greg Hardy, and Jimmy Graham were too, with the latter penciled in for months.
But because the NFL isn't a place where predictability exists, two "transition tags" were used. The value of a transition tag is slightly less than that of a franchise tag, but there's a key difference: if a player signs elsewhere his now former team gets two first-round picks under the franchise tag, but under the transition tag they only get the right to match, but no compensation.
About that oddness then…
Alex Mack wins the tag battle over T.J. Ward
The Browns used the transition tag on Alex Mack, which…wait, what?
Though available, the transition tag hasn't been used since seemingly a time when we all played Atari and thought it was the best. A little more valuable information about the transition tag: it guarantees Mack the average of the top 10 highest paid players at his position. For offensive linemen, the positional average is $10 million, a figure which is just absurd for a center. Going back to numbers we played with last week, Scott Wells is making $6 million annually, while Chris Myers is making $6.25 million. For a gauge of the current center market we can look to what the Eagles gave Jason Kelce, who's now getting paid $5.73 million yearly.
So at minimum the Browns have now committed to paying a center — a fine and terrific center, but a center nonetheless — over $3 million more per year than the highest paid player at his position. Meanwhile, by franchising Mack they're also committing to another even more unfortunate course of action: safety T.J. Ward could be former Browns safety T.J. Ward very soon.
Mack was important, but securing Ward should have been the greater priority. He's solid in coverage, but he thrives against the run. His 20 run stops were the most of any safety last year, according to Pro Football Focus. He also had five quarterback pressures on just 20 rushes, and 112 tackles in total.
Of course, with $52.2 million available prior to the Mack tag the Browns have enough cap space to fill a small country, and they could still re-sign Ward either before the market opens just over a week from now, or after he explores free agency. There's obvious danger in the latter option, though, and avoiding that red alert if long-term negotiations have stalled is one of the glorious purposes of the franchise tag. Ward now has an opportunity to seek employment elsewhere, and given the steaming toxic mess that this Browns franchise is and remains, he'll surely do just that.
Browns gonna Brown, but there may be some rare actual thought happening with this Browns madness, and it's tied to Jairus Byrd.
Fly Byrd, fly away far
Would you like to know how good Byrd is? Yes, of course you would…
In 5 seasons, Jairus Byrd has allowed 7 TD and a 53.0 QB rating in coverage. Ridiculous.
— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) March 3, 2014
Byrd has anchored the Buffalo Bills secondary, but although it won't become official until next Tuesday, we can now speak in the past tense regarding that tidy little arrangement. Or at least we likely can, because despite available cap space (about $25 million), the Bills didn't want to eat a chunk of it up by getting locked into a fully guaranteed $8.1 million with Byrd through the franchise tag.
So they're not tagging him, and although in theory they still have until March 11 to negotiate a long-term deal before the market opens, the chances of that happening reside somewhere between slim and zero.
Whaley: #Bills negotiated with reps for Byrd for more than a year, but have yet to reach agreement. Remain open to getting a deal done
— Buffalo Bills (@buffalobills) March 3, 2014
A deal isn't going to magically happen in the next week if a year's worth of negotiations has resulted in nothing. Over that year Byrd reportedly turned down an offer which would have made him the league's highest paid safety, so it's easy to deduce his end game here: getting the hell out of Buffalo.
Oh, he wants more sweet cash too, and is likely pursuing somewhere around $9 million annually. But what lies on the other side for Byrd may not be much better, as the Browns could be the most aggressive bidder. With Ward leaving there's a clear need, and Byrd would slide in seamlessly with former Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine now the head coach in Cleveland.
The Steelers are desperately trying to keep Worilds
And they're also doing it through the transition tag, though they're taking the lower rung of protection out of necessity. Since they're the Steelers and cap room is something that's entirely foreign, Pittsburgh is currently about $15 million over the cap right now, according to the aptly named overthecap.com. They have a front office which has been greatly helped by the rising cap, but a drastic emergency parachute measure will still be required, like cutting either Troy Polamalu (unlikely) or LaMarr Woodley (more likely).
Anywho, you're seeing why the cheaper option was required here with Worilds, and every penny needed to be pinched. The transition tag is $1.7 million cheaper than the franchise tag, and since the option was available and good teams generally aren't in the business of letting promising, 26-year-old linebackers walk, the Steelers slapped Worilds with a transition designation. If they can't creep out from under their cap hell, a trade still remains a possibility.
If he signs it and a long-term deal isn't negotiated, Worilds will play 2014 under a one-year contract worth $9.754 million. Is he worth that? Well, that's the wrong question, though it's the one everyone instinctively asks.
Of Worilds' 18 career sacks, eight of them came this past season, even while he wasn't a consistent starter until Week 7. The right question to ask then is whether or not he would have been paid the equivalent of that tag or more on the open market. The answer to that is…yes?
Eugene Monroe goes tag-less
When the Baltimore Ravens locked up Dennis Pitta to a long-term deal, their franchise tag was free to be used on left tackle Eugene Monroe, a crucial piece of their offensive line who was acquired as a rental from Jacksonville.
The problem is the bloated nature of the tackle tag, which is why 4 p.m. ET passed without the Ravens tagging Monroe. He would have been due $11.645 million, a significant chunk of the Ravens' $28.1 million in available cap room. That was understandably far too much for general manager Ozzie Newsome to stomach when he still has to re-sign wide receiver and return specialist Jacoby Jones while also hopefully improving at wide receiver overall through free agency. Then there's the impending departure of Arthur Jones too (all the Jones' are gone forever).
Monroe is a key piece, especially since offensive line continuity is a real concern, and the Ravens are now flirting with two o-liners leaving in a matter of days (Michael Oher is a free agent too). But there are simply other needs elsewhere, and every team has a financial breaking point at every position. Although the long-term extension efforts will continue until next Tuesday, the cost of Monroe's franchise tag exceeded Newsome's comfort zone.
The Patriots simply couldn't afford to tag Aqib Talib
There was a chance that Aqib Talib would get tagged, but never a very good one. The Patriots have only just over $12 million of cap space available, and tagging Talib would have occupied nearly all of it. They'll still attempt to negotiate a more cap-friendly agreement, but given his play when healthy this year, Talib could price himself out of New England.
Or we could easily see a repeat of last year when Talib dipped his toe in the free agent pool for a few days, and then came back to the Pats quickly on an affordable, team-friendly deal.
Jared Veldheer and LaMarr Houston aren't tagged because Raiders
The Raiders are a cocktail of confusion and senselessness. They have a league high $66.5 million in cap room, a number achieved because they have 16 impending free agents. Most of those names are the sort of excess garbage that can be jettisoned from a losing and annually rebuilding team, but the two here don't fall under that category. Houston is a quickly blossoming pass rusher who had six sacks and 69 tackles in 2013, and while Veldheer may have struggled following a triceps injury, during his last full season (2012) PFF rated him as the league's ninth best at his position.
Yet despite their talent and youth, both weren't deemed worthy of being franchise players. What exactly does a Raiders franchise player look like then?

May 3rd 2010 4:10PM I certainly agree with the part about some hunters preferring roles that aren't straight-up DPS. I much prefer these roles myself because they give me a compelling reason not to focus completely on DPS. Taking on a dynamic and reactive role is also much more fun than just settling into your rotation and avoiding the homicidal floor.

Apr 30th 2010 1:54PM I don't read the comics, so I didn't really know anything about Me'dan besides that he was Medivh's son... I just have to say, my first thought upon reading that part of the article was that he may actually a bigger Mary Sue than a certain red-haired archmage. Just... wow.
Anyway, I think another possibility is that Thrall just sorta gives up on making peace between the Horde and Alliance upon being captured by and rescued from the Alliance. He still wants peace to happen, he just realizes that it's not achievable in the foreseeable future. I mean, even Saurfang is becoming more belligerent towards the Alliance, and he's one of Thrall's strongest supporters. So, Thrall stops leading the Horde and seeks cooperation with the Alliance through other means, such as the Earthen Ring or Council of Tirisfal.
Breakfast Topic: Where's the epic, part two {WoW}
Apr 30th 2010 1:02PM This topic actually reminds me of Bioware's recent SWTOR video release. They mentioned that while a ton of people ganging up on one guy can be fun, it's not very "heroic". I have to agree with them there. A 10man feels like we're taking this elite, finely honed squad in to surgically attack the place, whereas a 25man feels like a bunch of goons zerging stuff down.
Reader UI of the Week: Mvin's UI {WoW}
Apr 20th 2010 6:18PM Can we get some more hunter-friendly UIs please? I love the look of this one, but I can't use it (or any of the recent UIs you've shown) because it has too few action bars.
I'm not a clicker, in fact I keybind just about everything. But I still need to be able to see all my keybinds (please, please, PLEASE don't say "just memorize them" - I have about 40 abilities, items, macros, etc that I use regularly and it's nigh impossible to remember them all). Having 2 action bars is fine for a DPS warrior/paladin/rogue, but hunters have so many tools we need to be using that we need 3 or 4 bars (or at least, I do).
If not a full UI, then maybe a recommendation for a setup? HALP
[1.Local]: Celestial RMT and the Fresh Steed {WoW}
Apr 18th 2010 2:11PM I'm still convinced this was more Activision's call than Blizzard's. I could be wrong, but I don't think they had any microtransaction services (except server/name change) until after the merger. That said, I have no real issue with it, but it's something worth noticing.
Breakfast Topic: Sorry, not happening! {WoW}
Apr 18th 2010 12:33PM Well, first off, if anyone in a PuG mentions gearscore in a positive way, I will probably try to boot them or leave the group. I don't need a number to tell me what raids I can do, and I've only seen bads use it.
I also refuse to grind out my horde factions to exalted... I just can't do it. Even if I get a nifty title and a new source of heirlooms, it's too much for me. Same for rep grinds in general that don't involve easy dailys or running dungeons.
I also won't PuG arenas. My friends might not be the best PvPers out there, but I'd rather have fun failing miserably with them than do moderately well with a stranger who might just ditch the team after the first week.
Breakfast Topic: Personal blooper reel {WoW}
Apr 15th 2010 10:05AM I have a few (I'm a hunter, to put these in context)...
I once pulled Patchwerk for the tank. As he got about halfway to us we realized that I forgot to hit misdirection. Half the raid got hateful strike'd into oblivion.
Also with misdirect, in BC, our guild had 2 tanks, a warrior and a bear. When we did Prince, it was my job to MD the boss to the tank at the start. Thing is, the warrior was our MT, so our druid went kitty form for this fight. However, I still had him focused due to him being the trash tank. Imagine if you will -
Warrior - "Ok, pull."
Me - "K" [misdirect]
Druid - "WAIT WAIT WAIT"
Me - [aimed-arcane-autoshot combo]
Prince - "RAWR RAWR RAWR SMASH RAID"
Once I was kiting a warrior guildy in a duel, and was winning, but I failed to look where I was going. I fell off the ledge and to my death. To date, this is the only time I have actually *died* in a duel.
This last one isn't mine specifically, but my guild was doing ICC25 last night (my first time, yay!) and we were on gunship battle. Well, someone talked to Saurfang instead of the goblin while trying to get the jetpack, and about 5 raid members (including at least 1 tank) were not yet on the ship. Somehow, we still managed to win, but it was a big OMGWTF moment.
The Daily Grind: What games can you just not stand? {Massively}
Dec 2nd 2009 1:30PM I see a lot of hate for SWTOR, and I thought I might point out that Bioware actually seems terrified of overhyping their game. Yes, they are "excited," but they know what hype did to WAR, especially since both Mythic and Bioware are part of EA. Most of the hype is coming from the potential playerbase. There is actually good reason to at least be interested in it, even if you're not a rabid Star Wars fan such as myself :P
Anyway, back on topic: Any NCSoft game. City of Heroes was the only one of their games that stood out to me, and it couldn't hold my attention for very long (no idea why, because so far I love CO). Between almost all their games, there is a similar, almost identical art style (the typical Asian MMO style), that I grow tired of quickly. There is always an unavoidable element of grind to their games, even in GW.
I want games that are unique, and interesting. That's why I like CO - for all it's flaws, it's different than anything I've played so far. Same goes for EVE, even though I don't play it, and even though WoW is hardly unique anymore, for all it's flaws it's a great game, and while many games copy it, none really come close to its level of polish or fun.
Holy crap that was long, sorry. -_-

This is a photo from Al, he is one of my faithful blog readers. Al also is a deltiologist..he collects postcards. Of course he also runs onto photos.. he shared this one with me.
Hi Connie:
It's me again. I am sending you this photo because I thought since it is accurately dated as July 31, 1907, it may help you with dating women's clothing (and men's too, I guess). I found this photo in what I will call a "used everything" store here in Ontario and purchased it because I felt sorry for it! I tried to interest a couple of archives in Buffalo but received no response. I guess it will have to stay in the bottom of my drawer a while longer. There is quite a bit on the internet about Jacob Schoellkopf but here is a statement from the following site:
Buffalo enjoys the distinction of having the largest tannery in the world in which sheep hides are turned into leather. This tannery is the firm of Schoellkopf & Company, the gigantic establishment at the corner of Perry and Mississippi Streets.
The factory was originally established by Lymburner & Torrey in 1862. In 1877 it was purchased by Mr. Jacob T.F. Schoellkopf, the prominent manufacturer and founder of the largest industrial establishment on the Niagara Frontier. The factory was reorganized under the name of Schoellkopf & Co. At that time 2000 skins were processed each day. The growth of the firm was phenomenal. By 1904 12,000 skins per day were being tanned. The factory produced all sorts of sheep leather for gloves, shoes, etc in all styles and colors.
I hope this can be of some use.
This must have been the entire office. Three women and nine men. I wonder if they were paid the same?
Thanks to Al for sharing his old photo!
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

About the Monardas This is a hybrid of the famous American wildflower with the bright red crown-shaped flowers, a description of the large scarlet blooms everyone and every hummingbird loves.
There are other species, but our famous Monarda or Bee Balm is native from the far north all the way south to Georgia, it was first discovered by world famous plant explorer John Bartram during the colonial era. Since its a member of the mint family with fragrant foliage, Bee Balm was always a medicinal plant of the native Americans, and today adds wonderful color to perennial gardens and wildflower meadows. Its a strong-growing perennial that likes moisture, and will grow in sun or partial shade.
As with all Bee Balms, the bloom begins in mid-summer, and if you cut off spent flowers for about three weeks, you'll extend the blooming into fall.

My Bee Balm grew and bloomed this year, but not very much or for very long. I'm hoping it just needs a little longer to get more established.
Still alive in a zone 9
By southern gardener
from southeast coastal Texas
Purchased this and several other balms. Plants were healthy and well packaged. This is the first bee balm that has not died in my zone 9 area although it is not vigorous it is living and produced a few blooms during the heat of summer, if it makes through the winter I have high hopes for next spring.

I have two tomato plants one a prudence purple and the other Mr. stripy. I'm growing them inside and need to know if they will A) fruit inside B) need a bigger pot or C) can be pruned to keep under control. Ive gone to many garden stores and no one seems to know anything but the basics. HELP PLEASE!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Doubtful that you will get any decent tomatoes from an inside plant, but A) Yes they can produce fruit inside. B) 5 gallon pot is very minimum IMHO. C) Yes, can be pruned to control growth size. |
I just searched this subject and found a few bits of information related to greenhouse grown tomatoes. One article stated that the flowers should be hand pollinated between 11:30 and 2:30, midday, with humidity between 65 and 70% for the best results. Sounds pretty tricky. |

Artist Exclusive – Steve Aoki
Mega deejay, producer, remixer, and entrepreneur, Steve Aoki is one of the most well-respected men in the music industry, as he should be — founder of Dim Mak records, which launched careers for The Gossip, Bloc Party, and MSTRKRFT, to name a few. Aoki is a staple to the new music of the millennium — the hybrid of musicians, producers, and remixers crossing over into live deejaying, and making their own brand of dance music.
I had a chance to catch up with the busy man as he crisscrossed the country en route to his gig at The Mid.

Robert Newell, United Kingdom, 1st May - 4th May 2009
This was the best hostel I stayed at during my trip through Eastern Europe. It was very clean, modern and in a nice location. Also, the lady who runs the place is a sweetheart.. If I ever find myself in Riga again I'll definately stay at Barons again.
"We spent 5 days in Riga and loved every minute of it Thank you all at Barons for making our trip unforgettable"
Kata and Jaakko, Finland
"Thank you very much for the fantastic hospitality and comfy surrounding! This place is a great find & we'll definitely be back soon. You guys were great, and more than happy to give us loads of advice! see ya soon"
Jen and Danny, England
"This is a good hostel if you are a group that want more of peace and quiet than 24hr partying (like a family). The hostel is very clean. The kitchen is excellent/nice common room. Rooms are nice and the beds are comfy. It´s located in central Riga and everything is on a walking distance. If you absolutely want to live in Old Riga and want more of a partying/younger crowd - go to their sister hostel Argonaut instead."
"Most friendly hostel manager EVER. Even hired us her car at huge discount to market rates. Only 10min walk through nice park into old town. Transport nearby but walking's better. Only criticism are the showers can get very hot and then not off and on."
"This is the first time Ive felt obliged to write a review - Barons is the best hostel I have stayed in on my travels and I have passed through so many places Ive lost count. The staff are super friendly, the appartment is beautiful and spotlessly clean. You can have a good night out and get a proper night's sleep too as the hostel is away from all the noise of the center without being too far out from it all to stumble back to. I moved here from one of the "party" hostels as the partying was fine, being able to sleep afterwards was impossible. Thanks for everything to the Barons and Argonaut crew for a cool few days - the only problem was I didn´t get to see much of Riga as the hostel was such a nice place to kick back for a few days :> Special thanks to Ieva for the hospitality and the much needed photography tips! If anyone is out there thinking of opening a hostel, check this place out and use it as your blueprint."
Huw, Wales.
"Barons is one of the best hostels ive ever stayed in. Old Riga is easily accessable and the staff are supremely knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.
"I loved my stay in Riga and when I return I would definatly choose the barons again. The barons is the quieter alternative to the argonaut hostel, this is brilliant because you get the best of both worlds, you can go party with everone at argonaut and then return to the barons and just chill out or sleep (which is impossible in some hostels). The staff were very friendly and really cared about making sure that everyone had a good time making it feel more like a home then a hostel. I was only in riga for a long weekend but I miss it already. (If your from Australia and you stay here make sure you bring bundy, they love it.)
"One of the best hostels we have stayed in. Clean, safe, cosy, close walk to city. Staff members are passionate about the hostel and guests. Made us want to stay in Riga even longer!!!"

Korea Has Low Rate of IDDM
A recently completed study of type 1 diabetes in Seoul found that, of the city's 2,568,933 children under 15 years of age, only 71 developed type 1 diabetes between 1985 and 1988.
All other aspects of diagnosis, including season and age, were similar to those in other areas. The researchers speculate that the low incidence could be due to genetics, and suggest that their findings might be used as a baseline number of genetically predisposed individuals before the addition of environmental factors.
The study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, Seoul National University and published in the December, 1994 issue of Diabetes Care.

The ECB will be making no further comment whilst these proceedings are on-going.

As the tragic Celie who endures incest, beatings, and teen pregnancies the star lands every line and hits all the right notes. But she's cold and robotic, and never becomes the sprawling show's much-needed emotional touchstone.

With Comic-Con Episode IV, Morgan Spurlock Creates Ultimate Geek Documentary
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
The world of film and television is not always kind to science fiction fans. The 1997 documentary Trekkies, for example, often plays like a highlight reel of the most embarrassing moments from the world's most socially awkward Star Trek fans.
- Episode 57: Morgan Spurlock

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock wants to change that. His new film Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope, which hits theaters and is available on demand Friday, unabashedly celebrates comics fandom, and was produced with the help of eminently credentialed geeks such as Stan Lee and Joss Whedon.
"What Trekkies didn't do, which I think this film does a really good job of, is humanizing everybody that's in the movie," says Spurlock in this week's episode of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast.
Spurlock shot to fame with the release of his 2004 breakout hit Super Size Me, in which he ate nothing but McDonald's for a month. He went on to direct other feature documentaries such as Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? and The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, as well as TV programs such as 30 Days. He typically assumes center stage in his films, but in his latest outing the focus falls squarely on the fans.
"I meet people all the time who are like, 'Yeah, I haven't really liked any of your films,'" he says. "And I'm like, 'Well you're going to love this one. You're going to love this movie, because I'm not in one frame of the whole thing!'"
The film's subjects include Holly Conrad, a young woman who hopes that showing off her Mass Effect costumes at Comic-Con International's masquerade will give her a foot in the door in Hollywood; Eric Henson, an Air Force soldier who dreams of becoming a professional comic book artist and who's never been to Comic-Con before; and Chuck Rozanski, who as a young man became the world's first comic book millionaire and now struggles to navigate a rapidly shifting media environment.
"By giving you entrée to these people, where you see them as real people," Spurlock says, "suddenly you are passionate about their stories, and you are going on this vicarious journey with them, and you are there with the ebb and flow of emotion, and I think that makes a big, big difference, and Trekkies didn't really do that."
Read our complete interview with Spurlock below, or listen to the interview in Episode 57 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast (available above). The podcast also features hosts John Joseph Adams and David Barr Kirtley discussing their most memorable con experiences with guest Christopher M. Cevasco, a writer of historical fiction.
Wired: How did the idea for this movie come about?
Morgan Spurlock: The whole concept behind Comic-Con IV: A Fan's Hope came from the first visit that I ever paid to Comic-Con. I'd wanted to go for years. I'd always wanted to go. I'd seen it in the news and heard people talk about it, and I'd never, for one reason or another, been able to attend. Then in 2009 I was approached by Fox to do the Simpsons 20th-anniversary special for them. And so the minute I got that phone call from Fox, I was like, "We're going to Comic-Con! We're going to go there, we're going to find Simpsons super-fans, we're going to have like an American Idol casting, we're going to find these people who love The Simpsons more than anything."
And while we were there shooting, I was like, "This place is like a movie. This is a place where we can make a great film about the characters, the people." And then later on that night I met Stan Lee for the first time. And I went over to introduce myself, to kiss the ring, you know, and I was like, "Mr. Lee, as a kid growing up in West Virginia reading your comic books, I just want you to know you changed my life. Your stories encouraged me, and gave me the drive to want to go out and tell my own stories." And he's like, "Oh, Morgan, thanks! I really appreciate that. Wow, I don't even know what to say. You know what we should do? We should make a movie together. We should make a documentary. We should make a documentary about Comic-Con!" And I was like, "That's a great idea, Mr. Lee! Thank you so much!"
And I literally turned around, and right after I met him, I turned around — this is a party for [Creative Artists Agency]. Like, his agency is CAA and so is mine. This is such this crazy, weird Hollywood moment. I turned around and Peter Micelli, who's an agent at CAA, was standing right behind me, and he goes, "How was it meeting Stan?" And I was like, "It was amazing. We want to make a movie about Comic-Con." And he's like, "That's a great idea. You should meet my client who's coming into town tomorrow." Cut to tomorrow, as I was having breakfast with Joss Whedon at his hotel, told him the whole idea — "We want to make a film, follow people into Comic-Con." And Joss was like, "I love it. I'm in." So literally in like 48 hours we had Joss and Stan on board to make this movie, which a year later we were shooting. It was crazy.
Wired: So would you consider yourself a comic book geek currently?
Spurlock: Yeah, I buy and read probably more comics now than I did as a kid. You know, people say, "The comic book business is dying." And I'm like, "No, the book business is dying." I mean, I don't know many people who go and buy physical paper comic books anymore, but since I got my iPad and got turned on to comiXology, I buy more stuff at comiXology than I ever did as a kid, just because it's so much more accessible. So for me I think that it's so alive and well, and it's reaching a very different generation. I just think that people buying physical paper comics isn't happening.
Wired: What are some of your favorites that you're reading right now?
Spurlock: I loved Irredeemable and Incorruptible, which was the amazing Mark Waid series. I'm catching up on that, because I got behind — while we were in production and shooting — on that whole series, so I've got the last batch of that to get through. DMZ. I got lost in that series while we were shooting the film, so I'm catching up on DMZ. Those are probably the biggest two. And I just started re-reading, once I heard they were starting production on the film of it, was Y: The Last Man. So I just started rereading that again. I loved that the first time, and the idea them making that into one movie I'm so distraught over, but we'll see what happens.
Wired: So unlike your previous movies you don't appear in this one at all. Why did you decide to take that route?
Spurlock: Comic books succeed — and have succeeded for decades — because of fans, because of people who love them. Big, giant Hollywood genre movies succeed because of fans. Videogames have become more popular over the years because of fans. So for me this is a film that was very much rooted in those people — in their passions, in their desire, their obsessions. And so I really wanted to tell the story through these people that make Comic-Con what it is, and as much as I am a fan, I don't go to Comic-Con every year.
The first time I went was for work, so for me making a movie about me making a movie about Comic-Con just didn't make sense. It needed to be about these people. And when we first started going out and pitching the film to the investors, we were going to investors saying, "Here's what the film is, here's who we're going to tell the stories about." And they were like, "Yeah, we love it, this is great. We'll give you the money, but we want you to be in the film." And I was like, "Well, then we'll find the money somewhere else, we'll find a different investor, because that's just not what the movie is." And it was the best choice, because ultimately it's a movie about those people, and I meet people all the time who are like, "Yeah, I haven't really liked any of your films." And I'm like, "Well you're going to love this one. You're going to love this movie, because I'm not in one frame of the whole thing!"

This show was gem which is fun to listen to twice. I thought the husband was actually alive. Apparently he was seen by several people, but at the end of the episode only his wife could see him. A fun episode that has a bittersweet quality to it | |

This year we have completely redecorated the bathroom with everything replaced except the tub. The living room and kitchen have been repainted and a new sink and counter tops installed. The bedrooms have queen beds and you will love the pillowtop mattresses. There is a large pool to enjoy and a balcony with a great breeze from the ocean to enjoy in the mornings and evenings.

It is a non smoking condo and no pets are allowed. We require 1/2 weeks rental to reserve and there is a $75.00 cleaning fee....no exceptions on the cleaning fee.....I have found that my idea of clean and some renters are two different things. Please don't ask to clean it yourself!! You must furnish your own linens, and toiletries. There is an age requirement of 25 unless approved in advance with parents signature.
Perferred method of payment is a Postal Money Order.
Within a mile of just about anything you would want to do a the beach. Great childrens area.

We have numerous agencies, volunteer groups, churches and other organizations ready to offer a helping hand to those who need one.
But what if the person or family needing help doesn't know where to turn to find the people who can provide the type of assistance they need?
United Way of Bradley County has an answer. Start by dialing 2-1-1. The birth of this new program actually began through the Mayor's Coalition coordinated by the city and county mayors' offices to help provide a clearinghouse for community information. And United Way took it to a new level!
The caller gets in touch with someone trained to help find the right people who can provide just the type of help the caller needs. The 2-1-1 assistance relies on a database of information provided by numerous agencies and groups through United Way of Hamilton County. The data covers Southeast Tennessee, Northwest Georgia and even two Alabama counties.
Our own United Way participates in that database on behalf of Bradley and Polk counties.
The 2-1-1 help can connect those who need a particular social service, like food and clothing banks, utility assistance, daycare, transportation and much more, with the organizations that provide it.
According to the Federal Communication Commission's website, www.fcc.gov, the FCC reserved the 2-1-1 dialing code for community information and referral services in July 2000. The FCC calls 2-1-1 a shortcut for families seeking help.
Even before the FCC's action, United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta had been using the telephone number as a help link since 1997, according to the website, www.211us.org. The 2-1-1 help is available through United Way organizations across the country now.
Just as there are many sources of help in our city, there are many ways to become a volunteer and offer help. From our city's Make a Difference Day each year to community groups large and small, and of course our churches and civic groups, our community offers many opportunities for all of us to volunteer any amount of time we can to help others.
The 2-1-1 assistance actually serves a dual role. It helps organizations and volunteers who offer help as well. The service offered by United Way can help those as well. By linking up with United Way's Community Action Network, they can become part of that 2-1-1 assistance.
It's a great concept that will help connect and network people offering help and people who are in need of help — a spirit of compassion reaching out again in our great community.
Thanks United Way — another People Helping People program now in place!

When they're not talking to former Clinton staffer Podesta, Harris and Hohmann are drawing from the examples of 42's eight years for advice. How do you get all two million staffmembers working for you? Well
Former president Bill Clinton, who similarly had to abandon a legislative approach after Democrats were bounced from power in 1994, was the most creative president in the modern era at using the powers of the executive branch in legitimate ways that nonetheless expressly served his own political ends as he prepared for reelection in 1996.
Clinton issued an executive order to turn 1.7 million acres in Utah into the Grand Staircase of the Escalante National Monument, a far-reaching move that thrilled environmentalists. He announced the move not in Utah, but in Arizona, a swing state. During his reelection campaign in his second White House term, Clinton set up a de facto think tank run by senior adviser Tom Freedman, who scoured the executive branch for ideas that the president could embrace and make his own.
How might you co-opt the opposition, exactly?
One way to do that, some presidential observers suggest, is by appointing a prominent Republican — ideally someone with high-level business experience — to a top position in his administration. Another common way to do that is rhetorically, which was the idea behind Clinton's 1996 State of the Union address when he announced, "The era of Big Government is over."
Liberals will chafe at such steps. But the idea is to co-opt the opposition — not to capitulate to it. Clinton made that statement as a tactical move to advance his larger strategy, which was to preserve Medicare and Social Security and expand government into new areas.
And how does one lead the country and not just the government?
After the 1994 elections put his own relevance in doubt, Clinton spent much of the balance of his six years talking about things like school prayer, local education and television sex and violence. All these things were — at least under conventional presidential powers — only tangentially within his purview. But nontraditional powers can have results. The Welfare to Work Foundation that Clinton started in 1996 at the recommendation of Freedman and the late Eli Segal after signing welfare reform into law encouraged private corporations to hire millions of people off welfare rolls.
Guess who thinks Obama needs to do something similar
"President Obama has a similar opportunity: to be the one who explains, who articulates what that common ground really is, securing the place where I think most Americans, especially the independents, want him to be … while preserving and protecting as much as he wants to around his core agenda," said Don Baer, a top adviser to Clinton during that period.
Yes, Politico's ghost of Christmas Future looks a lot like a certain red-faced, white-haired Arkansan. But we're not surprised. By definition, political media narratives, even those we write for stories yet to come, are derived from the past, as if each political moment and the people who shape it are but reincarnations of problems and persons who have come before. The president's in a Clintonian mess—despite the vast polling and economic data that would suggest that's too broad—and he must take Clintonian steps to get out of it. (We doubt the president himself much likes this vision of his future; a point Politico acknowledges.)
Still, the president is likely to prefer Politico's take to what's being offered at the Daily Beast. There, in what is surely the year's most mirthless slice of attempted comedy—Adam Sandler flick Grown Ups included—"White House survivor" Matt Latimer plays the Ghost of Christmas Sideways with a satirical look at where we'd be in late 2010 had John McCain and Sarah Palin pulled off a surprise win in 2008. The gist is that Obama, leaning over the Truman balcony, is visited by a guardian angel—"call it Obama's Wonderful Life" Latimer suggests (to the sound of crickets)—who shows him, through a Keith Olbermann broadcast on number one cable news channel MSNBC (tumbleweed), what life would be like without him. Sarah Palin has just quit before serving out her term, to be replaced by the Governor of Guam (guffaw), and McCain has just flip-flopped on tax cuts.
The point seems twofold. First, to be a kind of rib-tickling satire for the Beltway set. To that end, you will enjoy it if you enjoy this excerpt:
"More WikiLeaks controversy today after top-secret documents revealed that U.S. Secretary of State Joe the Plumber once stunned Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar by telling him during a meeting that quote, 'I learned so much about your country from watching 'M*A*S*H.' Secretary Plumber responded to the story by saying he misspoke. He actually had been thinking of 'Hogan's Heroes.'

Kaleb Kuebler, the Great Falls teen accused of raping and beating an 11-year old girl in October, was in court on Friday morning and waived his right to a transfer hearing, meaning that he will be tried in District Court as an adult instead of in juvenile court.
Judge Greg Pinski asked Kuebler multiple times if he was sure he wanted to proceed in this fashion, and Kuebler insisted.
Kuebler, now 16, faces two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence, attempted kidnapping and tampering with a witness; he is scheduled to be tried as an adult.
If convicted on all charges, Kuebler could face up to 340 years in prison.
Court documents state that Kuebler admitted to luring the young girl into an alley by stealing her hat.
He also admits to forcing her to perform oral sex, forcibly removing her clothing, and attempting other sexual acts.
The victim told investigators that Kuebler lifted her off the ground while choking her from behind.
He also allegedly forced her to reveal her home address and threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the assault.
The paperwork states that the victim was eventually released and allowed to walk away.
Kuebler's trial date has been set for September 16th.

By Jeff Walsh, Oasis Editor
Blue Period is about to launch onto the music scene this month with their first al-bum, Product. The San Francisco band describes its sound as glittery hard rock meets dark arty pop.
The band is fronted by Adrian Roberts, a 29-year-old self-described omnisexual gender-morphed tranny freak. Swirly Rat Jr., the 35-year-old bass player for the band is also queer. The rest of the band consist of Matt Chaikin, 35, on drums; PF, 29, electronics; and Christopher Hogan, 26, guitar.
The band's first album was produced by Chris Freeman, the bass player for Pansy Division, whom the band credits for tightening their sound.
"Chris Freeman really kicked our butts when we were recording 'Product, and our songwriting and arrangements improved markedly after working with him," Adrian said, in a recent online interview, which brought all the Blue Period members into a chat room for a joint, chaotic interview.
Every question forced the band members online to one-up each other when an-swer questions, even when the question was as basic as asking the genesis of the band's name.
For example, PF said the name refers to the menstrual cycle of Smurfs. Chris said it refers to Picasso's famed blue period, which PF said made sense when the band thought it was going to be more arty. Adrian said it refers to a boy's time of the month ("pink is for girls, blue is for boys -- when boys get bitchy -- blue period.") The banter seemed to set Swirly off...
"You guys are really gross, talking about art and stuff," he said.
Blue Period, which began as a spoken word noise combo, does not want to be pi-geon-holed as a queer band, though.
"That term is simply too limited in scope for what we're ultimately doing. Not to mention the fact that only two of the five band members are queer!" Adrian said. "Basically, we're just very matter-of-fact and 'whatever' about any inherent queer-ness we might have. It's not a big deal, and it's certainly not a gimmick. We don't play it up, but we don't play it down either. It's just a part of who we are."
Some of the band's lyrics do have a queer bend to them, which isn't surprising since Adrian pens most of the lyrics. One of the band's songs "Monster" is about the need to come out of the closet.
I make you ache with guilt and shame
I am something you can't tame
Try to pretend that you're not scared
Confront me now if you dareAnd I can't help it, and you can't help it
And I can't help it, come out now...
"'Monster' is quite obviously an indictment of anyone who is afraid to 'fess up to the truth about themselves. People need to come out of their closets, and be honest with themselves, whether it be related to sexual orientation, a certain fetish, or, really, anything that one keeps hidden within them, due to guilt. That feeling can eat one away. That feeling is a monster that can destroy a person," said Adrian.
Adrian said he first accepted he was bi at age 17.
"Suddenly that teenage Duran Duran fixation started to make sense," he recalls. "I had a girlfriend at the time, and she was bisexual as well, so it was all fairly easy for me. In fact, she was the one who really pushed me to accept the fact that I was actually bisexual. Then, once I had it figured out, it was never a big deal. Although, admittedly, things didn't really explode for me until after I moved to San Francisco. That's when I started dealing with 'tranny issues.'
"My own self-definition continues to evolve," Adrian said. "In fact, it changes all the time, depending on my mood! Right now it's 'omnisexual femme gender-morphed androgynous freak.' I mean, it's not like I only look like this when I'm up on stage. This is me, this is who I am. I wear eyeliner and dresses and lipstick and glitter in real life.
"I've been wearing femme clothing since I was about 10 years old. Granted, when my mother caught me secretly wearing her clothes when I was about 12, she and my evil stepfather drop-kicked me into therapy so fast it would make your head swim," Adrian said. "I was pretty freaked out by it all at first, and then I just came to the realization that there was really absolutely nothing wrong with what I was doing. That's when I started shopping in the girls' department of clothing stores, around the age of about 15 or so.
"I spent my high school years as a drama club geek, looking like an androgynous mod new waver, or an early-80s MTV refugee. Then, when I went to college, I moved into my androgynous gothic darkwave phase," he recalls. "After I moved to San Francisco 6-1/2 years ago, I realized that I could be as glammed out as I wanted to be, and that it wasn't going to be a big deal. So that's when I started moving into my riot grrrl/club kid phase.
"Needless to say, I never really made a very good drag queen, seeing as that I hate wigs and false eyelashes and fake nails and stiletto heels and show tunes and Hi-NRG dance music and all that other 'queeny'-type stuff," Adrian said. "I've always been much more of rock-and-roll diva, and that's where I am today!"
Swirly's coming out was entirely different.
"I didn't come out until I was 27! Can you believe it?" Swirly said. "The thing is that my brother is gay too, so when I came out it was like, 'Now I'm really letting down the family. It was strange. I had all these friends that were gay, but I couldn't figure myself out at the time. I was never really tweaked, there was just sort of this nagging 'what if' feeling."
Swirly finally accepted his sexuality when he had a mondo crush on a guy.
Another track on Product, "We Eat Our Own" might seem familiar to anyone who's worked within the gay community and seen the infighting and back-stabbing that often goes on. Adrian wrote the song after seeing the behind the scenes goings-on with the 1997 gay pride parade in San Francisco.
Isn't it ironic we assumed we'd all get along?
Nothing is ever black and white, we couldn't be more wrong
Should we rally up the troops? Splintered off in little groups
Don't you know we're the ones we hurt the most? No, no, no!There were aims, there were goals, we nearly had them in our sights
Now we're too busy caught up in our petty fights
So blind that we can't see we're our worst enemy
Round and round we bout again, oh no! No, no, no!Stick your knife in
Slice a piece off
Now what have you lost?
We eat our own! We eat our own. We eat our own!
"'We Eat Our Own' can be seen as a song that's critical of the back-stabbing bitchiness and petty in-fighting that seems prevalent in the gay community, espe-cially the San Francisco gay community," Adrian said. "Dealing with the San Fran-cisco Pride Parade Committee last year inspired the lyrics. However, it's not JUST about the gay community. The song could just as easily be about any group of peo-ple who can't get their shit together--any group that gets so caught up in arguing with each other that they end up not getting anything important accomplished."
This spring, Blue Period hopes to have its first west coast tour. Adrian said he'd love to eventually do a national tour, although there is some concern as to how om-nisexual femme gender-morphed androgynous freaks will play in middle America.
"Some of my friends worry that I'd freak out the straight boys in the audience too much, and end up getting my ass kicked," Adrian said. "You know, they see me on stage and think that I'm this really hot chick singer -- then, of course, I open my mouth and start singing. And THAT'S when they start getting all confused and un-comfortable. But really, I don't worry too much about it."
Adrian is unlike many members of the under-30 gay community, whereby the goal is becoming more and more one of fitting in and showing people that queers are as normal as everyone else.
"Even when I was a teenager, I always had some sort of something in my head that made me not even want to BE normal," he said. "I used to walk around with a button on my jacket that said "Why Be Normal?" I mean, I would look around at all of these boring people in my high school, all of these incredibly close-minded, uninteresting, ignorant people -- people who would get all worked up over the most MUNDANE things, like the football game, or somebody's haircut, or whatever--and I would think, 'I don't want to be like ANY of these people! I want to be differ-ent!'
"So, needless to say, in high school, I went VERY out of my way to let everyone know what a non-conformist I was, how different I was. Granted, I didn't have a lot of friends, but the friends I did have were very GOOD friends," he recalls. "And it's funny... By the end of my senior year -- when everyone signs your yearbook -- amongst all of the usual 'Remember me always' and 'Class of '86 rules!' platitudes, there were a healthy amount of things written in my book that said stuff like, 'I al-ways envied you for having the courage to be yourself,' and 'You're strange but it's what makes you interesting' and 'Don't ever change, I respect you for being differ-ent.' So it's weird. High school was rough, and I certainly wouldn't want to do it over again, but it's funny how much respect you can command simply by having confidence within yourself.
"And of course, just because I'm queer doesn't necessarily mean that I gel auto-matically with anyone else who is queer either," he said. "In fact, just as I feel like the token freak amongst a group of straight people, I often feel like the token freak within the gay scene too! For instance, when I first started going to gay bars, I ab-solutely abhorred the music. For the most part, I still do. I despise all the stereo-types too, like, just because I'm queer I'm supposed to love Judy Garland and Bar-bra Streisand. And I'm supposed to know how to dress well. And have short hair. And all of that. Remember that scene near the beginning of Gregg Araki's 'Totally F***ed Up,' where the kids are bitching about Barbra Streisand and stuff? I TO-TALLY related to THAT!
"There's nothing wrong with being different. The freaks and the weirdos in this world are the ones who make life interesting! When I was a teenager, I used to TRY really hard to be different," he said. "Now, I've realized that I don't have to try at all, yet I'm still seen as a freak! I think my mother has finally realized that this isn't 'just a phase' for me. I still dye my hair strange colors and have a nose ring and it's all no big deal."

Deer Park
Deer Park, CA, 94576, United States
Delia Viader, an Argentina native who speaks six languages, built this winery in 1986 at an elevation of 1200 feet on Napa's Howell Mountain. Inspired by the French practice of planting vines up and down a hillside, something still unusual in California, the now biodynamic winery produces different labels at a range of price points: her most sought after being a cabernet sauvignon blend. Visiting guests can choose between a "portfolio" tasting or the more exclusive "reserve library" tasting, both of which take place at the stone-wall covered hospitality center with views of the mountain, followed by a tour of the grounds.
Insider Tip:
With her five children helping manage the business, chances are good that guests will meet one of the Viaders while visiting the winery; though a cardboard cutout of Delia stands in the tasting room for visitors who want a picture with her if she is not on the premises.

"Due to many different factors, school lunch prices are going up everywhere. However, we really debated on this one, as well," said Director of City Schools Dr. Martin Ringstaff. "We looked at area school systems to make sure we were in line for where we stood on that."
Prices will increase by 25 cents for students.
Supervisor of School Nutrition Susan Mobley explained the changes are a product of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.
"It's been rolled out in pieces. This is just another piece of the puzzle. According to the paid lunch equity, we have to raise our prices again this year," she said. "That is because they are expecting us to get to a threshold of the amount they reimburse us for free meals, which currently is $3.01."
Prices only need to be raised by 10 cents every year. However, Mobley explained a 25 cent price increase means changes will only have to be made every other year. The current rules set forth by the paid-lunch equity dictate the next price increase would be for the 2016-17 school year.
Faculty, staff and visitor meal prices have increased by 50 cents for breakfast and 25 cents for lunch.
The new prices for school meals are as follows:
- Breakfast for students, $1.50;
- Lunch for K-8, $2.50;
- Lunch for 9-12, $2.75;
- Faculty and staff breakfast, $2;
- Faculty and staff lunch, $3.50;
- Visitor breakfast, $2.50;
- Visitor lunch, $4; and
- Visitor holiday meal, $5.
Reduced price meals will remain at 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch.
Cleveland High Principal Autumn O'Bryan presented several changes to the dress code for students in grades 6 through 12.
A team compiled of high school and middle school administrators, parents and students were asked to participate on a dress code committee.
O'Bryan explained there were three reasons behind the dress code changes.
- Both teachers and students face an increased load in studies. If the students are out of the classroom for a dress code violation, then they are not receiving proper scholastic instruction.
- The dress code is geared to males. She cited the collared shirts and khakis as an example. She said girls needed to be given more choices.
- The students are "really great kids" who do not often give the administrators trouble through wardrobe decisions. O'Bryan explained the majority could be trusted to make proper outfit decisions.
Changes to the dress code include more variety in colors. This will include plaid print and pinstripes, among others. Wordage on appropriate outerwear for coats and jackets has been expanded to include lightweight jackets, sweaters, vests, sweatshirts or anoraks. Students are not allowed to wear "long or trench coats."
Cleveland High teacher Patty Puckett introduced the students who attended the Tennessee School Boards Association SCOPE program to the board. These students included senior Meredith Markowicz, junior Lauren Rutledge and sophomore Chase Henderson. Each student thanked the school board for the opportunity to attend the conference.
Fellow Cleveland High teacher Julie Phillips followed Puckett's student presentation with another recognition. This time she highlighted Model United Nations participants. Hannah Hicks, Landon Seaborn and Austin Herink had an opportunity to share their experiences with the board.
Board member Richard Shaw asked if Herink felt as if he was as good as the private school students.
"Some of them were pretty smart. I was like, 'I'm smart, but there are levels,'" Herink said to much laughter. "I did notice the public school kids were more social. I felt we were able to get up, talk more and express our opinions. They had it in their [mind], but it was harder for them to get it out. I feel like there are advantages to both, but I am glad I'm a public school kid."
Keep America Beautiful representative Joanne Maskew presented certificates to three Cleveland High students for the annual KAB essay contest. She said 13 of the 14 essays turned in came from Cleveland High. Winners included Nanea Haruo, first place; Sarah Bryan, second place; and Alexandra Paladian, third place.
Student recognitions continued as the board thanked student liaison Samantha Douglas for her service. She expressed her enjoyment for having served on the board. Cleveland High senior Reed Calfee will be the next student liaison. His duties will officially start at the June meeting.

But then Ouerfelli decided that this neighborhood just wasn't for him, so he packed up and headed for the 'burbs, where he ditched the Mikey's name (confusing, since it was run by a guy named Alaya) and opened Cucina Roma Roma at 12363 West 64th Avenue in Arvada. Like the name, the menu is very traditional, street-corner Italian with a slightly upscale bent — sausage and peppers, homemade spaghetti, tortellini carbonara, baked gnocchi smothered under a layer of melted cheese, a half-dozen different piccatas and pizzas.
Roma Roma has been open for just a few months but has already found a following in its new hood. Let's hope that's because of the quality of Ouerfelli's food rather than the limited options available as Arvada scrambles to play restaurant catch-up with its growing population.
Leftovers: I finally caught up with Darren Minich of Premier Ventures — owners of places like Marlowe's, Govnr's Park Tavern and Caldonia's — which, by the time you read this, will have opened its newest property, Lala's Wine Bar & Pizzeria, at 410 East Seventh Avenue.

That address sound familiar? It should. It's the old home of Sparrow — one of my least favorite restaurants in the city — and before that, Vega, where Sean Yontz crashed and burned before finding redemption with dollar tacos and PBRs on Colfax Avenue. This time around, Minich said, "It's a pizzeria concept rather than having the menu. Does that make sense?"
"We went to Italy," he continued. And while in Italy, the Premier folks saw a lot of pizzerias. And what they wanted to bring back to Denver was that Italian pizzeria vibe, but not necessarily the pizzeria menu. "The kind of place where, you're sitting there, and within a half-hour, you're dragging another table over," Minich explained.
And while Lala's didn't go for a straight pizzeria menu, it did go Italian (though Minich insists it's not an Italian restaurant), with antipasti, open-face Italian sandwiches, housemade mozzarella, burrata and pastas (for two daily pasta specials) and, well, pizza. "Eclectic pizzas," Minich insisted, put up on the daily special sheet.
The chef, Eric Rivera, was brought in from Marlowe's, and his sous, Victor Leal, from Osteria Marco. These are the guys who are executing the not-an-Italian-restaurant concept. Behind the bar, the partners have stocked up with an off-market selection of bottles — meaning no Ketel One, no Jack Daniel's, but rather vodkas made by organic farmers in Minnesota and gins from around the world.
Strange concept and weird booze aside, though, it's still gotta be better than Sparrow. "This has been our pet project," Minich told me, saying how the partners had been looking at doing something smaller, more intimate and more food-focused for quite some time. The menu sounds interesting (a lot of daily specials and greenmarket influences), and the space, which has had a complete makeover, will certainly be a better fit for the neighborhood and the temper of the times.

Missouri Kansas week
Four days and counting. Saturday afternoon the battle is on, so let's kick off the Missouri Tigers v Kansas Jayhawks thriller off right. It's a game for the king of the Big 12 as well as possibly being a game for a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney. I'll make several posts in the upcoming days to get us even more pumped up for the rivalry game this weekend.
Here's a video of Thomas Robinson going Blake Griffin all over the Oklahoma Sooners

It seems that baseball fans have spent so much time and energy arguing their player of choice's case for the American League Most Valuable Player that they've neglected to get dizzy with rage over the other big awards that will be handed out after the season. One could easily argue that the competition for the National League MVP, the NL Cy Young and the AL Cy Young is even closer than it is for the award receiving most of our argumentative attention right now.
Let's move the spotlight off of those myopic view points on behalf of Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout (don't worry, we can go back to them later), and adjust our sights on a bit more civil discussion centered around who the candidates are for the other main awards.
