Revisiting the 2001 NFL Draft
Share This Story
What were the Browns thinking when they drafted Gerard Warren in 2001, even though Richard Seymour was still on the board? What were the Bears thinking when they drafted David Terrell, even though Santana Moss was still on the board? With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, we present here a review of the 2001 NFL Draft, looking at the good picks, the bad picks, and the things every general manager knows now and wishes he had known then.
QuarterbackConventional wisdom: Everyone agreed that Virginia Tech's Michael Vick was a unique talent, but no one was quite sure whether he was going to be a good enough passer to be an elite NFL player. Six years later, everyone agrees that Michael Vick is a unique talent, but no one is quite sure whether he is ever going to be a good enough passer to be an elite NFL player. Highest pick: Michael Vick, Virginia Tech, first overall to the Falcons Best player: Drew Brees, Purdue, 32nd overall to the Chargers. That's an easy choice. Biggest bust: You could argue that, given how much the Falcons have invested in him, Vick was a bust. But if you don't count Vick, there wasn't any major quarterback bust in the 2001 draft. The closest thing is probably Marques Tuiasosopo, the Raiders' second-round pick, who spent six years in Oakland but started just two games. He recently signed with the Jets. Best value: Without a doubt, the best value was Brees, as the Chargers' second-round pick. Other noteworthy picks: Dallas surprised a lot of people by choosing Georgia's Quincy Carter in the second round. Carter looked OK as a rookie but wasn't willing to work hard enough to improve, and after falling into trouble with the league's substance-abuse policy, he was released. Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke of Florida State lasted until the fourth round, when the Panthers took him. He won the starting job as a rookie but lost it after that.
Running backConventional wisdom: Just about everyone agreed that LaDainian Tomlinson was the best back in the draft, although Deuce McAllister of Ole Miss had a few supporters. Some folks thought McAllister was a better all-around player and more ready to step in and contribute immediately. Highest pick: LaDainian Tomlinson, Texas Christian, fifth overall to the Chargers Best player: Tomlinson. Chargers general manager John Butler made no attempt to hide that Tomlinson was the highest player on his draft board. So for Butler to trade down from the top spot, pick up Tomlinson with the Falcons' pick (fifth overall), and grab a couple of extra later picks, was an outstanding move and one that helped build the Chargers into the elite team they are today. Biggest bust: Michael Bennett of Wisconsin wasn't a bad player for the Vikings, but he wasn't as good as Minnesota hoped. The Vikings might have reached a bit to select Bennett, thinking they had to choose a running back to replace the retired Robert Smith. Best value: The best of the second-day picks was Auburn's Rudi Johnson, whom the Bengals chose in the fourth round. Other noteworthy picks: The Saints, who already had Ricky Williams, drafted McAllister anyway. That was the first sign that they'd send Williams packing, which they did a year later. Chicago took Michigan's Anthony Thomas in the second round, and he made an instant impact as a rookie. He never did much of anything after that, but he may get one more chance. As of right now, he's the starter in Buffalo for 2007.
Wide receiverConventional wisdom: Everyone loved this wide receiver class, but there was quite a bit of disagreement about who was the best of the bunch. Was it Michigan's David Terrell, North Carolina State's Koren Robinson or Miami's Santana Moss?
Tight endConventional wisdom: Arizona State's Todd Heap was the clear top choice in a tight end class that was generally considered fairly weak. Highest pick: Todd Heap, Arizona State, 31st overall to the Ravens Best player: A close call between Heap and North Carolina's Alge Crumpler, the Falcons' second-round pick, who became Vick's favorite target. Biggest bust: No true busts, but San Jose State's Sean Brewer, the third tight end off the board, didn't produce as much as the Bengals expected him to when they chose him in the third round. Best value: Arizona's Brandon Manumaleuna, the Rams' fourth-round pick, was mostly a blocking tight end and therefore seemed like a strange fit in the Mike Martz offense, but he's had a solid NFL career. Other noteworthy picks: Eric Johnson, the 49ers' seventh-round pick out of Yale, showed promise but had a hard time staying healthy. He recently signed as a free agent with the Saints.
Offensive lineConventional wisdom: There were two tackles whom every draft analyst loved: the enormous Leonard Davis of Texas and the agile Kenyatta Walker of Florida. Michigan had three offensive linemen who made scouts drool in guard Steve Hutchinson and tackles Jeff Backus and Maurice Williams. Nebraska's Dominic Raiola was the best of a mediocre class of centers. Highest pick: Leonard Davis, Texas, second overall to the Cardinals
Defensive lineConventional wisdom: It was supposed to be a very deep draft for defensive linemen, and nine of them ended up going in the first round. Scouts thought Florida's Gerard Warren was such a great athlete that he was a can't-miss prospect at defensive tackle. Missouri's Justin Smith was a good pass-rushing end, although opinion was more divided on what kind of pro he would be. Highest pick: Gerard Warren, Florida, third overall to the Browns Best player: Richard Seymour, Georgia, sixth overall to the Patriots. There was talk of the Patriots taking one of the wide receivers -- Terrell or Robinson -- with that pick, and there was talk that the Seahawks were praying that Seymour would still be around when they were on the clock. Just think how much worse the Patriots would have been and how much better the Seahawks would have been in recent years if Seymour had gone to Seattle and one of the receiving busts had gone to New England. Biggest bust: Several options: Warren was a hugely expensive disappointment for Cleveland. Green Bay wanted Seymour but settled for defensive end Jamal Reynolds of Florida State with the 10th overall pick, and he never did much of anything. The Rams took two defensive linemen in the first round: Damione Lewis of Miami No. 12 overall, and Ohio State's Ryan Pickett No. 29 overall. Neither one lived up to expectations. Best value: Marcus Stroud, Seymour's college teammate, was seen as a reach when Jacksonville took him 13th overall. And while the scouts were right that Stroud isn't as good as Seymour, he's developed into one of the league's better defensive tackles. Texas nose tackle Casey Hampton was an excellent choice to the Steelers with the 20th pick overall. Maryland's Kris Jenkins (Carolina) and Texas's Shaun Rogers (Detroit) were good picks in the second round who might have been great picks if they could stay healthy. Ditto for the Broncos' third-round pick, Iowa State's Reggie Hayward, who's been a very good player when healthy but has played just 63 games. Other noteworthy picks: The San Francisco 49ers thought Cal defensive end Andre Carter would be a pass-rushing demon when they chose him seventh overall. He spent five good (but not great) years in San Francisco before signing with the Redskins.
LinebackerConventional wisdom: If you wanted a linebacker who could step in and start right away, you had to draft Miami's Dan Morgan, who was seen as, by far, the best linebacker in this draft. Morgan had size, speed and toughness. After him there was a huge drop-off in talent in what was seen as a generally weak linebacker class. Highest pick: Dan Morgan, Miami, 11th overall to the Panthers Best player: The scouts were right; Morgan was the best linebacker in this draft class -- at least when he could stay on the field. Unfortunately, Morgan has had several injuries, especially some severe concussions, and he's played in just 56 games in six seasons. Morgan has said he wants to keep playing, but when you're dealing with repeated brain injuries, that seems like a bad idea. Biggest bust: The Eagles' second-round pick, Quinton Caver of Arkansas, was a disappointment. He looked like he had the ideal size and athleticism, but he never made much of an impact in Philadelphia or in his later stints with Dallas and Kansas City. Best value: Edgerton Hartwell of Western Illinois was a great value for the Ravens in the fourth round, although he later became a terrible value for the Falcons when they paid him $26 million and injuries limited him to just 13 games in Atlanta. Clemson's Keith Adams, the Titans' seventh-round pick, has become a very good player and was a very good value. Other noteworthy picks: Georgia's Kendrell Bell was the second linebacker off the board, going to the Steelers with the 39th pick. His career got off to a very good start, with nine sacks as a rookie, but he missed 17 games in his next three seasons in Pittsburgh, and hasn't been nearly as good the last two years in Kansas City.
Defensive backsConventional wisdom: There wasn't any one defensive back who looked like a sure thing, but it was thought to be a deep class. As it turned out, six defensive backs went in the first round, all between the 20th and 28th picks. Adam Archuleta was a good but not great player at Arizona State, but his workout numbers were incredible: He was fast enough to play safety but stronger than a lot of defensive linemen. That made scouts salivate. Ohio State's Nate Clements had the look of a lockdown corner. Highest pick: Adam Archuleta, Arizona State, 20th overall to the Rams Best player: North Carolina safety Adrian Wilson, selected in the third round by the Arizona Cardinals. If he played for any other team, Wilson would be recognized as one of the league's elite defensive players. Wilson narrowly gets the "best player" nod here over Clements. It remains to be seen whether Clements will be worth the enormous free-agent contract he just signed with San Francisco, but he was definitely worth the 21st overall pick for Buffalo. Biggest bust: Willie Middlebrooks, Minnesota, 24th overall to the Broncos. Middlebrooks played special teams almost exclusively and is now out of the league. Cornerback Will Allen of Syracuse hasn't had a terrible NFL career, but considering that the Giants gave up their first-, third-, and sixth-round picks to move up and take him, he didn't live up to expectations. Best value: Wilson. To get such a great player in the third round is positively un-Cardinal-like. Other noteworthy picks: Mississippi State cornerback Fred Smoot was a great choice for the Redskins in the second round. Smoot at one point looked like a sure-thing first-round pick, but there were concerns about his attitude. He made an instant impact with the Redskins.

I'm growing hops for the first time and this is the plants first year.
The Cascade hop plant grew like a weed, while the Fugal never really got going. The Cascade is over 9' tall now and it's at the end of the stake. How tall can they grow? Is there anything I should do like clip the top piece off to promote hop growth?
Hops are coming now, I should have just over 2 months before the first frost, do you think the hops will mature by then? I know it's smaller the first year, but what kind of yield should I get?
I see a few small brown ant's on some of the leaves and on the plant. Do I need to worry about that?
Use this thread to show/tell us where your hops are at in their growing cycle.
It's unusual to see that much growth the first year. My cascades are on the second year and are not that tall. I suspect 85 days without meaningful rainfall is part of the problem. Hops will stop growing when they have nothing more to climb and start sending out side shoots. Don't expect much in the way of hops this year.
You don't say where you are located, but in Oregon, the harvest season starts next week.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Hops usually grow over 25 feet tall. They will try other directions just like any other vine.
Most of the commercial growers limit the cords to 20 feet. This is mainly due to the difficulty of harvesting anything much taller. Hop flowers will grown from the main stem and from side branches. My trellis is only 14 feet, as I wanted to be able to cut the cords without using a ladder. You can actually train hops to grow on a horizontal line by going out every day and wrapping the new growth down onto the line.
Some side branches on my Fuggles:
If you look closely at the plant near the first bucket (Northern Brewer), you'll see all of the flowers are on the main stem.
Maybe I'll remember to take my camera to HopMadness for the farm tour. Two years ago, they were converting a field to Glacier and some of the old root balls they dug up were three feet across and had 10 foot tap roots!
I planted 6 plants that were grown from seed and were barely out of the ground in June. The growing season here in NFLD, Canada is short but due to good treated soil (manure, compost and topsoil and good drainage) I now have plants that are 9 ft high with a bush of side shoots that I've wrapped around the main stem. Some of the plants have reached the burr stage (starting to flower). I'm pleased with the promise my plants have shown and am looking forward to a crop next year. Gotta love doing it yourself.
How do you BBQ an elephant....first you get your elephant....
Here are a few pics of my first year plants as of today;

Tucked away in the midst of a thick cover of forest, Pelion's largest village is less attractive than its neighbours. It was, however, an important centre for the Hellenic cultural renaissance which took place during the Ottoman Era, as well as an active crafts centre. Today, the surrounding orchards provide the main source of income. Among the various churches, it is worth having a look at Agía Kiriakí and Agios Geórgios (St George's Church), which contains a huge 18C iconostasis (decorated screen), carved and gilded.

Roof Repair Maintenance Tips
Taking time to maintain the roof highly decreases the chances of replacing the roof prematurely. Even if the roof is old, maintaining it will prevent it from damage. The roof is always under assault from bad weather like rain, storm, heat, cold and other living organisms that eat up the roof bit by bit.
Proper cleaning of the roof prevents the growth of algae, lichens, or moss. These organisms can cause stains and cause the shingles to degenerate and that decreases the life span of the roof.
Clogged gutters pose a risk to degrading of the roof. They allow water to stagnate and this allows the rusting process to begin. When leaves pile up in the gutters, water can wick into the roof making it to rot or even rot the rafters. Clearing the gutters regularly is an important step in maintaining a strong roof.
In most parts of the world, roofs are prone to be covered with black algae. A little detergent and chlorine mixed with water will kill the algae. Moss also traps water and this brings about favorable conditions for other living organisms to invade on the roof. A lot of moss buildup can be very disastrous and hence early elimination can save a lot of damage.
Tall trees with hanging branches often drip water on the roof leaving the roof wet for long hours. Water combines with oxygen to form rust which can be very damaging. During a heavy downpour, branches can break and destroy the roof. Branches need to be a 10 feet away from the roof as this keeps pests and rodents from inhabiting the roof.
If the roof is invaded by ice, it is important to remove the ice as soon as possible to avoid the ice from damaging the roof. A roof rake can be used to dislodge the snow within three feet to four feet from the gutter. A telescoping pole can also be used to work from the ground if possible.
Keeping an eye on the roof is very crucial. It is not hard to see something unusual that can be fixed. A damaged roof will often make some squeaking noise. Such noises should be addressed. Using binoculars is also important as eyes alone can miss small details.
If the roof is in a clear surrounding away from trees, wind will remove the leaves. However, complicated roofs or roofs in a tree zone will always trap huge amounts of leaves. These leaves will attract moisture that will eventually damage the roof.
Painting the roof is a very good remedy of combating rust. It also makes the roof much easier to clean. Living organisms find it very difficult to thrive on painted roofs.
The main benefits of cleaning the roof include;
-Proper roof cleaning increases the life span of the roof.
-It ensures that any rain water collected from the roof is clean.
-Clean roof keeps pests and rodents away and this keeps the environment safe.

Tips in Roofing Repair
No matter how strong and secure your roof system is, you will need roofing repairs sooner or later. The roof protects us, as well everything else inside the house, from the elements. Some homes need repairs for their roofs many years after completion. Leaking is the number one enemy. There are so many causes, such as expansion and contraction, which creates cracks that allows water to seep in. Some defects are faulty and poor installations. Whether you are living in a tropical or a cold city, your roof is never safe from the elements such as hail, rain, snow, high winds, searing heat of the sun, and other causes. Leaking roofs have wide ranging results that vary from minor to serious.
Your roof will in the end, have damage. And knowing that with damage comes more problems. Leaks can happen, flowing water towards the interior of your home. You don't want this to happen; you'll have the ability to try changing your entire roof. But which will be expensive, particularly if you have shingles. Initially roof repair will be your answer. Roof repair can be accomplished using the help of your loved ones or buddies. So if you want to stop leaks without much financial expenditure, then you have got to attempt roof repair.
Tips in Roofing Repair
The initial aspect you have to do is usually to prepare and set the materials you need inside the roof repair. You require roof patching fabric, considered markers, flat-soled shoes, nails, metal bristles brush, hammer, rags, roofing cement, sharp knife, trowel, and mitts.
You also need to take a look at the homes roof for any signs of defects. Bear in mind of all the problems, the truth is inside your roof. Begin walking on 1 finish and walk on each possible area. Observe all your vents, skylights and ac models. You have to look for places where the roofing function is separated in the roof. Uncover the places in which the roofing tar or cement has cracks. Now, obtain a torch and begin looking for water trails in your house. Look for the foundation. This is accomplished to ensure that you are able to find out the place later. If you notice sunlight shining in within the ceiling, pierce a nail with that part too.
Just before performing the following step, be sure that you simply have discovered all the roots in the water leak. Now, visit the shingles you have confirmed to possess issues. Pull-up individuals shingles and apply roofing cement beneath it. Replace any nails about it and canopy individual's nails with roofing cement. Now, you'll need to repair the roofing cement or tars that have cracks. Eliminate the old roofing cement/tar, clean the location and let it dry. Put the fixture back and hang roofing cement about it in addition to the roof itself. Place little holes round the cement to empty water. Place roofing cement about it, then a bit of roof patching fabric and add roofing cement. Now you are done.
What Type of Roofing Services Do You Need
The roof is one of the most crucial components of a home. This is because it protects the home dwellers from extreme weather conditions. In addition to that, it greatly improves the aesthetics of a home and increases the value of a home. Having said that, it is important for home owners to gain a comprehensive understanding of the roofing services available in the market.
Types of Roofing Services
There are numerous roofing services available in the market. To start with, roof inspection can be done by a roof repair company. Homeowners can carry out roof inspection through using a binocular or through standing at a viewpoint that does not have obstruction. However, it is a roofing professional who has the training, expertise, and experience, in identifying even the most hidden roofing problems that may affect your roof.
Second, there are various roofing services that cover the gutter. Gutter cleaning is time consuming and may not be hygienic. A roofing professional will not only clean your gutter but also prevent further buildup. Furthermore, gutter repair can be done in cases where the quality of the gutter has drastically deteriorated. If the gutter repair will not be of help, a roofing company can assess and provide a gutter replacement service.
Third, a roofing professional can provide a leak repair service. One of the greatest damage with leaks is the structural damage it can cause to a home. Moreover, a leakage can lead to health hazards such as mold which can lead to adverse health consequences. A leakage is not only inconveniencing but can lead to discomfort in a home.
Fourth, damaged shingles repair should be done on time in order to avoid further damage. The more the neglect on the repair, the more the likelihood of an expensive repair service and in some cases the entire replacement of the shingles. It should be noted that if the water seeps below the shingles, it can lead to rotting. Metal roofing offers unmatched durability. It can last an entire lifetime.
Lastly, there are different types of roofs that can be installed. The tiled roofs are more economical than slate. In addition, compared to slate, they have less life expectancy. Nevertheless, it has the ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. Similarly, tile roofs can withstand varying weather conditions. If well installed and maintained, they can outlive a building. Slate roofs are usually custom-made and are durable. The flat roof offers some structural and maintenance benefits over pitched roofs.
The value of a roof in a home can never be underestimated. It is therefore paramount that the home owner utilize the available roofing services in order to ensure proper care and maintenance of the roof. A reputable roofing company will not only give you the best advice but will also provide you with options. For example, such a company should identify the area of the roof that needs repair and not necessarily the entire roof. Similarly, one should save cost on roofing services through repair rather than roof replacement. Overall, a high quality and safe roof is indispensable.
Which Is The Ideal Time For Roofing – Winter or Summer?
Roof work is one of the most important aspect of any building construction and lots of attention are needed regarding correct and proper roofing. A rock solid roof is the ideal one for each and every person who are connected to any kind of construction, be an individual or a construction company. Now, the biggest question arises to everyone's mind that whether the roofing to be done in the summer time or in winter? When will be the ideal condition? What can be the differences of roofing in the winter vs summer and so on?
From the perspective of a construction company, they are always ready to perform once the client gives a green signal. From the standpoint of an individual, either a new roof or replacing an old one with a newly one should be a planned one and he should not take any decision hastily. The repairing work is an art and that can be done by expert people only, so before assigning the work to any one, a person should consider all related points and then only he should give the order.
What is the best month?
· Price is a big factor as it has often seen that in peak summer time, all the roofing suppliers and related companies increases the rate of each and every product. Though there is no such hard and fast rule that price will be increased, but these trends have been followed for some time.
· In the latter half of summer, when rainy seasons come, then it becomes problematic for people to work in roofing solution as the heavy rain may wash out the entire days' work.
· But the heavy sunshine on summer days are very much helpful to dry up the entire things. The entire operation takes lesser time.
· In summer months, if proper care is not taken, then shingles are having chance of damage more easily.
· Winter gets its advantage due to the climatic condition as the weather is soothing for longer duration of work. People can work with greater efficiency and perfection can be attained.
· In terms of price also, winter season is better as several costs like installation temperature and others are not keep into consideration and roof solution companies can focus with greater acumen. So a cheaper price is on the offerings.
· As there is less chance of rain in the winter, so work can be done at a stretch compared to rainy seasons and these can be some highlighting points of roofing in the winter vs summer.
Overall, one needs to find out what will be his convenient time to do all roofing works as the debate of roofing in the winter vs summer will continue forever. If one is aware of exact condition of the roof, then he is the best person to take decision about the time of repairing. If roof is in critical condition, then the job has to be done in a priority basis in consultation with the roofing company. And if the situation is such that it can wait for some time, then ample time will be in hand to finalize several aspects like the company, product, time and cost.
The Importance of Roof Cleaning
Roof cleaning is an important exercise that many people should employ.

2. Prevention of health risks that can affect people and pets
The roof algae, moss, and lichens can eat the shingles and access the roof deck where they can cause wood rot. Wood rots causes the moisture to get in through cracks and creates an environment that is hospitable to the growth of mold. Mold growth in can pose many health risks to people and pets. Don't ignore roof stains.
3. Prevent the insurance company from cancelling an individual homeowner's policy
The insurance policy for home may be cancelled for having dirty roof. The companies are demanding that homeowners should have the stained roofs cleaned. The companies usually give very short notice to do this. It is important for an individual to be proactive and have the roof stains removed before getting the notice from the insurance company. Untreated roof stains negatively impact overall integrity of a roof that may cause mold growth. Roof stains are risks that can cost insurance company money in a claim.

Roof cleaning companies will safely and completely removes staining and restore the roof back to its efficiency and natural health. 5. Cost saving from premature re-roofing
Having the roof cleaned is a cost saving alternative to the premature re-roofing. There is no need to re-roof the roof as it can look new again for a replacement costs of cleaning. 6. Restore the beauty of the home.
Cleaning restore home's beauty. Dirty roof is not appealing to look. Clean the ugly roof stains and do everything possible to improve the home's exterior. The stains are the main focal point of the home's exterior. Also this increases the chances of selling a house.
7. Prevent the invasion of animals
Algae, moss and lichen can penetrate the shingles and allow the moisture to get into sheathing and cause wood to rot. The smell of rotting wood can attracts animals which they associate with the smell of food and shelter. In many instances, animals enter through a roof if the wood has started to rot. Some animals may be dangerous to human survival.

There is no specific formula that can help you know the right time to replace your roof. All you can use to know whether your roof needs replacement or repair are the various signs of damage or aging. However, the sole decision on whether it is time to replace or repair a roof is on the owner of the house and highly depends on its age and overall condition.

If your roof is more than 20 years of age and has got a lot of worn shingles, then do not hesitate to replace it with professional services. Although it is hard to detect how long a roof can last in advance, it is important to have your roof checked after about 10 years if you are using Asphalt shingles.

Monday, Eve led a Core Conversation entitled "Is Social Good the Next Killer App?" By all reports, it was a fascinating conversation with passionate discussion about authentic social change through technology. Check it out on Slideshare and watch for more about Social Good from her.
Jared, however, appears to have attended a session that was the polar opposite. "Just because someone founded a $66 million dollar company doesn't mean they have something insightful to say. Monday I went to hear a rare interview with the founders of the messaging service Yik Yak (think anonymous twitter that shows you very local posts). It has been in the news lately around how it has been a platform for cyber bullying on high school and college campuses."
"There was a great opportunity for interesting debate on the topic, but sadly the 24 year old founders who came up with the idea as fraternity brothers didn't have much to offer on the topic. It became clear that these new millionaires simply came up with a good idea, got some good luck and off they went. I'm not saying that there are no 24 year old Internet millionaires who aren't deep thinkers with valuable insight on the impact of technology, but sometimes the founder of a million dollar app, is just that and we shouldn't expect them to be thought leader as well… Regardless of how much VC their app attracts."

If you're a real chart geek, we invite you to tune in Friday night at 5 p.m. ET for "Bangin' the Charts," MTV News' weekly, in-depth look at what's charting where and why. Check out the Bangin' Web page for more info.
In this week's chart and sales analysis, we divine the future of Nas' post-Nastradamus sales prophecies and, with a little help from Jay-Z and Eric Clapton, go in between the acoustic sales strings of the "Unplugged" series.
Nas Lands Big — As He Predicted
Nas hopes that "What Goes Around" will help his record sales come around.
After taking much of last year off, New York MC Nas has returned with a new album, Stillmatic, which cracks the new Billboard 200 albums chart at #8 (see "Creed Hold #1 Chart Slot For Fifth Straight Week" ), becoming then highest chart entry of the week with more than 342,000 copies sold.
Stillmatic is the rapper's fourth straight album to debut in the top 10, a feat that Nas' first record, Illmatic, narrowly missed upon its release in April 1994, when the LP debuted at #12 after notching some 59,000 in sales. In fact, Stillmatic's first-week sales are the biggest for Nas since his third album, I Am …, sold 470,000 copies to land at #1 in April 1999.
Nas' Stillmatic has also fared better out of the gates than his biggest-selling LP, It Was Written, which sold 268,000 copies to debut at #1 in June 1996 — a position it held for four consecutive weeks — and has since sold more than 2.13 million copies. That was quite a step up from Illmatic, which currently stands at 818,000 in total sales.
I Am … has fared almost as well as It Was Written, tallying some 1.85 million copies sold. However, Nas took quite a commercial blow with Nastradamus, the follow-up to I Am … that was released barely eight months later in November 1999. Despite the chart-topping success of I Am …, audiences were apparently not ready for more prophetic raps from Nas so soon, as Nastradamus sold just 232,000 copies (less than half of I Am …'s first-week figures) to enter the Billboard chart at #7.
During the last year, Nastradamus has foreseen its way up to 1.06 million in sales. Despite its relative newness, the LP is averaging just a little better than 2,000 copies a week, as opposed to Illmatic and It Was Written, which are both still selling at a catalog clip of more than 3,000 copies a week — even though they've both been out for more than five years.
The real test of whether or not Nas is Stillmatic will be determined by how long the new album hangs in the Billboard 200, as the rapper has had problems with his chart legs. Illmatic spent just one week in the top 20 and 19 weeks in the top 200, while It Was Written spent 11 weeks in the top 20 and 34 weeks in the top 200.
Nas' I Am … had a chart run almost as long as its predecessor, logging eight weeks in the top 20 and 25 weeks in the top 200. But even though it was issued during the holiday season in 1999 (when albums usually receive a sizable sales boost), Nastradamus quickly slumped down the charts, notching just two weeks in the top 20 and a total of 16 weeks in the top 200.
If Nas can keep up the brisk sales pace for Stillmatic and hold strong on the Billboard 200 into February and March, then he has a good chance of reversing Nastradamus' rather foreboding sales trend.
Jay-Z Taps Into 'Unplugged' Flow
Hip-hop impresario Jay-Z is the latest artist to spawn a live record from his recent "MTV Unplugged" special, debuting on the Billboard 200 albums chart at #34 with the disc after more than 143,000 copies were sold in its first week.
While we're not ones to toot our own horn (or pluck our own nylon strings, for that matter), the holiday spirit has gotten us reminiscing about the "Unplugged" performances we have received from the likes of Eric Clapton, Nirvana and Mariah Carey during the TV series' 12-year history and the albums those artists have, in turn, given to the fans.
For those keeping score (and, believe me, we certainly are), the biggest-selling "Unplugged" album belongs to Clapton, whose 1992 disc has sold an electrifying 7.26 million copies. The album was the second full-length release to be produced from the TV series, following the limited-edition version of Paul McCartney's MTV Unplugged issued in May 1991 and Mariah Carey's seven-song Unplugged EP from March 1992.
Regardless, Clapton's Unplugged was instrumental in re-energizing the guitarist's career after a relatively rum run during the '80s, and after climbing to #1 in March 1993, the album proved to record labels that audiences were willing to buy such stripped-down music en masse.
According to SoundScan, the next five biggest-sellers in the "Unplugged" series are: Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York at 4.12 million, Rod Stewart's Unplugged and Seated at 3.33 million, Carey's Unplugged EP at 2.70 million, the 10,000 Maniacs' MTV Unplugged at 2.18 million and Alice in Chains' MTV Unplugged at 1.23 million.
Other notable "Unplugged" albums include Tony Bennett's LP (764,000), Neil
Young's LP (717,000), Maxwell's EP (659,000), Alanis Morissette's LP
(494,000), Mana's LP (437,000), Bob Dylan's LP (395,000), Bryan Adams' LP
(391,000), Babyface's LP (302,000), Kiss' LP (292,000), The Unplugged Collection, Volume One (258,000), Shakira's LP (253,000), and Arrested
Development's LP (235,000).
Perhaps the biggest "Unplugged" disappointment comes from an album that was supposed to be acoustic but ended up being full-bore electric. Bruce Springsteen was unable to rehearse enough material with his non-E-Street backing band to fill an entire show, so he opted to plug in instead. Springsteen's In Concert/Plugged In wasn't issued until 1997 — almost five years after his "Unplugged" episode first aired — and has sold only 163,000 copies.
In addition to the aforementioned records, there have been other albums that started off as potential "Unplugged" projects and were later reworked and given lives of their own outside the "Unplugged" banner. Such LPs include the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over and Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's No Quarter, which were both released the same week in November 1994.
Hell Freezes Over debuted at #1 and has sold 7.44 million copies, while No Quarter entered at #4 and has tallied 1.02 million in sales. Hell Freezes Over continues to be "en fuego" in terms of catalog albums, as the Eagles' reunion record still averages a smoldering 270,000 copies sold per year.
The success of the "Unplugged" series has not been limited to just album sales. In the last decade, several "Unplugged" records have been honored with Grammy Awards, with Bennett and Clapton winning Album of the Year for their respective efforts in 1994 and 1992. Nirvana's haunting MTV Unplugged in New York — recorded at Sony Music Studios in November
1993 and released just six months after singer Kurt Cobain took his own life the following April — won a Grammy in 1995 for
Best Alternative Music Performance.
Just last year, Colombia-born siren Shakira took home the Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album for her MTV Unplugged LP, which served as her last Spanish-language record before her bilingual crossover album, Laundry Service, was released last month.
Coming Attractions
In next week's edition of Got Charts?, we'll take a look at the year-end numbers for some of the biggest albums, singles, videos and catalog releases of the year — including what's looking to be a rather diverse neck-and-neck (and neck) race between Shaggy, Linkin Park and 'NSYNC for the best-selling album of the year. We can hardly wait.

|Game 3 Wrap
|04.23.09 at 10:38 pm ET
Wasn't Paul Pierce supposed to be hurt?
Pierce scored a game-high 24 points and led the Celtics to a 107-86 victory over the Bulls in Game 3. They showed no mercy as they shut down Derrick Rose (9 points, 4-14 FG), stifled Ben Gordon (5-13 FG), and rendered the Bulls big men ineffective (Joakim Noah/Tyrus Thomas 4-13 FG combined).
Rajon Rondo won the battle of the point guards, scoring 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 3PG) from everywhere on the court. Ray Allen added 18 points for the Celtics while Glen Davis had 14. One of the biggest surprises of the night came from an aggressive performance by Stephon Marbury off the bench. He scored 13 points in his best game as a Celtic.
The Celtics lead the series 2-1. Game 4 will be played in Chicago on Sunday.
|Final: Gabe Pruitt time
|04.23.09 at 10:36 pm ET
In a final result that had to catch everyone by surprise, the Celtics demolished (and there really is no other word) the Bulls, 107-86 in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead. Paul Pierce rebounded from a pair of subpar games to score 24 points in just 28 minutes of action and on just 15 shots.
The Celtics performance was so dominating that the United Center was a sea of empty seats and the hometown Bulls were serenaded by a chorus of boos as they walked off the floor.
|Third quarter update: Starbury in flight
|04.23.09 at 10:05 pm ET
The Celtics managed to extend their lead in the third quarter, but in an even better turn of events for them, Stephon Marbury finally broke out of his shell and contributed offensively. After Rajon Rondo left the game with his fourth foul, Marbury was decidedly more aggressive with his jumper, and while he is only 3-of-8 from the floor, he is taking the "right" kind of shots for the Celtics.
It's 83-58 after three and the Bulls are as stunned as the crowd.
|Halftime update: The perfect road game
|04.23.09 at 9:33 pm ET
Playing on the road in the playoffs is the toughest thing an NBA team can do. There's the crowd, of course, which has been known to influence a call or two. But there's also the travel, the break in the normal routine, and the purely anecdotal but mainly factual notion that role players perform better at home than on the road.
The flip side to all that is if a team can walk into another's building, completely dominate the action and turn the home crowd against its team. That's what the Celtics have done to Chicago in the first half. The C's shot 51 percent in the first half in building a 59-37 lead, but more impressively committed just four turnovers and held the Bulls to 32 percent shooting.
Additionally, Paul Pierce managed to sqaush those "Paul is hurt" rumors, by dropping in 18 points on 7-for-9 shooting. The only major concern for the C's are fouls. Every starter but Glen Davis has two fouls and Mikki Moore picked up three quick personals.

Our unique duplex is large in scale and was designed by George Rodney Willis, a lead draftsman for Frank Lloyd Wright at the turn of 20th Century. Later in his career Mr. Willis designed many fine homes and significant buildings here in San Antonio. Comprising of two suites, we live in Suite 2, which is the upstairs residence.
We are located just off of Broadway in the Museum district of Midtown. We're in wonderful small neighborhood rich in history and interesting architecture of the early 20th century. Surrounded by the historic Fort Sam Houston you can enjoy views of the Victorian era officer's homes and a walk around the block you'll see horses grazing in pasture. It really is an amazing view, to be only 1 mile from downtown.
3 blocks away you'll find Brackenridge Park and Golf Course. Walking paths lead you to North through Brackenridge Park, The San Antonio Zoo and more. A few blocks South and you'll find The Pearl, a culinary hub and select shops. Saturday mornings at the Pearl offers a fun and trendy Farmer's Market as well.

PLEASE NOTE: We DO NOT advertise on Craigslist. Scammers post our property and photos on Craigslist for less than our published rate. Don't be a scammed! Contact me through either here at Vacation Home Rentals, or similar sites. Feel free to call and confirm.
Thank you for a great stay. The snacks were thoughtful & the back court yard area was awesome. I love the accomodations. If we return to the area we will call you & definitely reccomend it to our friends & family. --The Goff Family
This vacation was one of the best that I have taken. The accomdations were great. I will be back.
Perfect place!! Close to all attractions Riverside, Safari & Wineries. The house had plenty of room and everything you would need. If we ever make it back to S.A we would stay here again.
My husband and I spent a month in San Antonio, staying the entire time in this beautiful house. The street was lovely, quiet and safe. Adjacent to Fort Sam Houston, we loved hearing the bugle everyday at 5:30 pm. We cannot think of a better location. It is blocks from Broadway and less than a mile to the Pearl Brewery, at the north end of the Riverwalk. We are golfers, so having Brackenridge golf course and park (including the zoo) only three blocks away was wonderful. The restaurants nearby are plentiful and delicious. The easy access to US 281 made it easy to visit our daughter and her family who live northwest of where we were. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. I cooked a lot. We loved our breakfasts in the sunny breakfast nook overlooking the pool. One night we had 14 over for dinner (including 6 children). The covered outdoor eating space easily accommodated us. Brent was so gracious, getting the pool ready for use a bit earlier in the season than he normally would have. The bed was very comfortable as was the furniture. Care was taken to keep this older home up to date and clean. Brent was helpful and full of knowledge. We hope to return again.
A little slice of Heaven! Our son graduated from USAF and this was the most amazing place to stay for a family week of making memories. The home is everything you read and more! Fresh flowers, soft linens, comfy beds, and snacks awaited our arrival. The neighborhood is so quiet and the view of Fort Sam Houston adds just the right touch, yet you are minutes from the Riverwalk. The owners met every request we had and then some. The backyard is a hidden gem of privacy, quiet relaxation, swimming, and outdoor grilling. We will be back! Our only regret, we didn't get Brent in our family picture with our new Airman!
This was a great place to stay for the four of us, two couples traveling together. Brent, the owner, is so friendly & welcoming, plus he provided so many extra treats for us, which were very much appreciated & such a nice surprise. The duplex is extremely spacious, clean, & comfortable. If we ever return to San Antonio, we would definitely rent this place again.
Our stay was about as perfect as could be expected! The owners were gracious with a wonderful welcome basket of goodies and flowers. The beds, pillows, and linens were comfy and fresh which was great since our three day weekend was filled with sight-seeing and eating our way through San Antonio! The local brochures, magazines and maps within the unit provided valuable information to help us plan our adventures. Our only request during our stay was immediately taken care of. This home is in great shape considering its age and the modern kitchen and bathrooms were a nice touch for the ladies in our family! The location of this home was very convenient to The Pearl, downtown San Antonio, the Hemisfair Park, and I-35. The suggestions for tours and restaurants from the owner were quite helpful.
We are located at the end of a quiet street literally in the backyards of Fort Sam Houston's Historic officers homes. While just over a mile to the infamous Alamo, enjoy a walk around the block at see horses grazing in pasture on Fort Sam's park like grounds. We're in wonderful small neighborhood rich in history and interesting architecture of the early 20th century. We feel we have established an urban oasis in the city.
This great central location just off Broadway is about two miles north of the Alamo. We overlook Fort Sam's historic officer quarters and San Antonio skyline. The location offers easy access to downtown, Fort Sam Houston, museums, Alamo Heights, great shopping and more. Easy highway access in any direction.
