Although construction of the first phase of Cincinnati's proposed Downtown-to-Uptown streetcar has not yet begun, city officials already are thinking ahead to a second stage to extend the line into Clifton and perhaps beyond.
The optimistic look forward on the streetcar plan came Monday as a City Council committee, with little fanfare and only a whiff of the controversy the project has generated in recent years, recommended City Hall move ahead with more than $100 million in bonds and grants targeted for the system.
Michael Moore, Cincinnatis interim director of transportation and engineering, told councils Budget and Finance Committee that even as planning for the streetcars first phase is continuing, City Hall already is seeking more state and federal money, some of which would be used to create a university transit hub around the University of Cincinnati.
We try to get our fingers into as many places as we can, Moore said.
The first phases two potential uphill routes Vine or West Clifton streets would take the streetcars from Over-the-Rhine only as far as Clifton Heights, on UCs fringe. An extension that reaches deeper into the campus area and Clifton, advocates say, would make the streetcar system more easily accessible to thousands of potential riders at the university and the communitys cluster of hospitals, seen as a prime target audience.
That long-range perspective offers further proof of how the streetcar, since a $25 million federal grant last month raised funding to beyond 90 percent of the project's $128 million first phase, has come to be widely viewed as a virtual certainty, despite remaining financial and logistical hurdles.
That was reinforced by Monday's meeting, where both sides in the often-contentious debate seemed to largely go through the motions in repeating now-familiar arguments about a streetcar line that initially will run from the Downtown riverfront to the Uptown communities near UC.
Only two individuals spoke against the plan, one of them former Cincinnati congressman, mayor and councilman Tom Luken, who once again speculated that the project's cost will be far higher and its benefits more elusive than city leaders predict.
Moments later, with no debate among council members, the budget panel recommended in a series of 5-3 votes that the city proceed with plans to allocate $64 million in city bonds and $44 million in state and federal money to the streetcar project.
Council members Roxanne Qualls, Jeff Berding, Laure Quinlivan, Cecil Thomas and Wendell Young supported the measures, which will go before the full council Wednesday, while Leslie Ghiz, Chris Monzel and Charlie Winburn opposed them.
Councilman Chris Bortz abstained because of his family's property holdings on and along the proposed streetcar route.
Streetcar construction is expected to begin later this year with relocation of utility lines and other preliminary work. City officials have set the spring of 2013 as the target date for the system's completion.

Laughter & Art Research Project 2005-2010
How many types of laughter are there, how many adjectives attached to laughter as descriptors? It is as if there was a laughter for all occasions that becomes a vessel for all kind of passion, emotion or understanding. Perhaps, then it is at the extremes, where the contrary aspects of laughter can be isolated and the affect magnified, literally put to the test, that new theoretical and practical insights emerge: through fake laughter, non laughter, in perverse, artistic, unlikely and extreme laughter situations. How performative practice, through an expanded understanding of cultural context, and the aesthetics of a socially engaged art, might interfere with and/or consolidate contemporary understandings of laughter. By focusing on how laughter performs and is performed, precisely as an affective knowledge; an approach that understands laughter primarily as a performed passion, an emotional response; as an example of human culture in action, a social language that can disrupt the flow of life with a 'real' and powerful presence, making of laughter, a key emotion of encounter (Bayly 2002; Kear 2004).
What was most significant in the research was the manner in which performances produced evidence (as residue), of the many contrary ways that this corporeal response could effect the external situation of the laughing subject. How the performance practice became a journey, as an immersion in laughter phenomenon, that proceeded from a position of almost naive ignorance, not knowing, and charted a course, from a partial subjective knowledge, through to a state of knowing uncertainty – a particular synthesis of body and mind – suspended and given a temporary form through the ambiguous meaning of laughter. This allowed for a certain play with, drifting into and intervening in laughter affects, through this subjective embodied knowledge. Creating a laughter situology as an everyday and highly susceptible laboratory, to examine human sense, understanding and conscience – an experimental site for revealing every aspect of our existence – as the human is undone through laughter.
But because we know how to laugh, can we say that we truly understand the laughable? It does not appear so, if we refer to the history of philosophical works on laughter. It is, in sum, the story of an insoluble problem. (Bataille 2001: 133)
As Nancy has recently argued: 'Laughter has never really found its place in the erotico-aesthetic dialectic of philosophy. … laughter that passes through all aesthetic, psychological or metaphysical categories without yielding to any of them, the laughter that takes on anguish and joy alike – this laughter remains in the margins'. (Nancy 1997: 372) This is a laughter at the very edge of sense, reveling in the non-sensical, bursting 'at the multiple limit of the senses and of language, uncertain of the sense to which it is offered… laughter is the joy of the senses, and of sense, at their limit' (Nancy 1993: 390). Yet more than this, laughter comes to embody a form of knowledge, 'laughter knowledge', that reveals or (un)founds truth. This landscape pockmarked with laughter: resistant, creative, demonstrative, free, stupid and always dancing. What possible mystery – in the magic of emotion – lies buried deep within the insoluble problem of laughter?
So what appears finally, exposed in the practices and argument assembled in these laughter situations (as research), is a potential social art practice, forged from all that is ambiguous and contingent in the state of laughter. This is an engagement with laughter where everyone present is invited to make and be taken over by her own poetic moment (in the micro-performance of laughter). An argument for an avant-garde practice of laughter, a tactical movement as a guerrilla street gesture that is part situationist intervention and part therapeutic exchange. A gestural intervention that forges, from out of the ambiguity and paradoxes within laughter exchange, a social art practice, that both confronts and performs (its) uncertainty; so the slough of knowledge and of meaning dissolves into a dis-authoritative state of inconsistency, a well of non-knowledge.[1]

From the President
A Message from MLA President Michael Bérubé
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Modern Language Association. As 2012–13 president of the MLA, I'd like to introduce you to who we are and what we do: if you're already a member, please take some time to explore our Web site. And if you're just visiting, please take some time to explore our Web site—and then please consider joining the association and contributing to our work.
The MLA Web site is much more extensive than you might realize at first; it contains dozens of features and hundreds of documents, information on the MLA's gold-standard publications (and direct access for members to the
MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers
), and the MLA's groundbreaking research surveys, policy statements, and guidelines. Under the tab marked Resources, if you click on Surveys, Reports, and Other Documents you'll find an astonishing archive of the long-term work of the association, including but certainly not limited to advice on topics ranging from disability and hiring to evaluating translations as scholarship; recommendations on wages for full-time entry-level faculty members and part-time and full-time adjunct faculty members; the
Report of the MLA Task Force on Evaluating Scholarship for Tenure and Promotion
; and detailed professional employment practices for non-tenure-track faculty members.
When we're not researching and producing definitive studies of and for the profession, the MLA is a strong advocate for the study of the humanities, particularly the study of languages and literatures. In recent years we have taken the lead on matters of broad import to higher education at large, from the threat to academic freedom in the Supreme Court decision of Garcetti v. Ceballos, to the practice of "ideological exclusion" that denies visas to certain foreign scholars, to the overuse and exploitation of non-tenure-track faculty. I hope you will join us in promoting the study of the humanities and defending the principles of academic freedom. We could always use some help—particularly when it comes to publicizing and promulgating our recommendations regarding working conditions for members of the profession.
Founded in 1883, the MLA is chartered "to promote study, criticism, and research in the more and less commonly taught modern languages and their literatures and to further the common interests of teachers of these subjects." We are the largest professional organization of humanities scholars in North America. Most of our nearly 30,000 members are located in the United States and Canada, but there are healthy contingents of members from other countries as well: no matter where in the world you may be and no matter what language you study or speak, we welcome you to our international community. Many of our members hold academic positions at colleges or universities, and graduate students make up a large and lively group. A growing number of MLA members teach at community colleges, and we also have members who teach in high schools or who are independent scholars. Wherever your location and whatever your employment status, the MLA can be your organization if you are dedicated to the study of language and literature.
Scholars may know us best through the
MLA International Bibliography
, which indexes scholarly publications on a staggering range of topics in literature and language; students may know us as the people who publish the handbook that advises them on how to handle citations in research papers; and much of the public associates us with our annual convention, a vibrant and intellectually exciting gathering of thousands of scholars, who present papers, seek jobs, (re)connect with colleagues, and continue our lifelong discussions (and arguments) about texts, interpretations, theories, and practices. I hope to meet you at the Boston convention in January 2013 and to continue (or begin) discussing the things that matter most to you about the study of language and literature.
Finally, you're probably aware that these are not happy times for the study of the humanities. All too many people don't see the point of what we do at the MLA or at our allied scholarly organizations, and, struggling in the throes of a long, austere recession, many of our students (graduate and undergraduate) are understandably anxious to know whether a degree in the humanities will allow them to repay their often burdensome student loans. In times like these we need to remember—and to remind our students, their parents, and elected officials—that our world desperately needs people who can read closely, who can write compellingly, and who can understand the centrality of reading and writing, teaching and learning, to the origins and development of human civilizations. If the projects of reading, writing, teaching, and learning are of interest to you, I hope you'll join us.

Possible candidates are emerging for a Jefferson County Family Court judge seat that has not been seriously contested in about 30 years.
Judge Richard V. Hunt has not formally announced whether he will again seek the seat he has held since January 1985, although he is nearing the mandatory retirement age of 70 for judges in the state. He could not be reached for comment this week on his plans.
First elected in November 1984, Judge Hunt ran unopposed for 10-year terms in 1994 and 2004.
Four potential candidates, three Republicans and a Democrat, have been mentioned around the County Court complex as being interested in the position should Judge Hunt opt to retire. Republicans Eugene J. Langone Jr., Kathy L. Quencer and Timothy L. Virkler are said to be considering runs, along with Democrat Susan A. Sovie.
Because of strict guidelines placed on judicial prospects by the states Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics regarding when and how they can declare their candidacy or begin raising money toward a campaign, none of the potential candidates are able to say for certain yet that they are running.
Mrs. Quencer, who is under even stricter constraints than the other candidates because she is a sitting justice in the town of Brownville, said Friday she is reviewing my options at this time. Miss Sovie also was unable to confirm her candidacy.
Due to strong urging and support from the community and the party to run, it is under serious consideration at this time, but no decision has been made, she said.
In addition to the limitations placed by the state committee, Mr. Langone said he wanted to wait until Judge Hunt has made his intentions known before announcing his decision, while Mr. Virkler could not be reached for comment Friday.
According to a campaign ethics handbook prepared by the state committee, a candidate can meet privately with the head of a local political committee or its members to test the waters, but cannot contact voters to gauge support until they officially declare themselves a candidate, which is subject to specific windows of time. Candidates cannot declare themselves as such until nine months before the date in which a partys nominating committee convenes, which usually occurs in September. If no date for the convention has been set, the candidate can use the previous years convention date to count back nine months.
Mr. Langone, Watertown, a partner at Hrabchak Gebo and Langone, Watertown, has been practicing in Family Court for more than 25 years, having been admitted into the state bar in 1988. Before entering private practice, he was an assistant county attorney for about six years.
Mrs. Quencer, Brownville, is a partner at Proven & Quencer, Watertown, having practiced law in the county since 1991. She is entering her sixth year as Brownville town justice.
Mr. Virkler, Watertown, is law clerk for Surrogate Court Judge Peter A. Schwerzmann. Prior to that, he was an assistant district attorney with the county. He has been practicing law since 2002.
Miss Sovie, Sackets Harbor, owner of Susan A. Sovie Law Firm, Watertown, has been an attorney since 1995. She is a member of the states Fifth Judicial Districts attorney grievance committee and is on the board of the states Office of Indigent Legal Services.

David Mosrie: Lannon was great asset to St. Lucie, state
When the news of Mike Lannon's pending retirement reached me in the hills of North Carolina, my first reaction was one of sadness for St. Lucie County schools. On a personal level, he has earned and undoubtedly deserves a long, happy, healthy retirement. But on the professional level, there are not many superintendents of his caliber. For the record, that is a totally unbiased personal point of view.

Product Details
Our designers created this line of custom graphics in honor of one of our favorite happy places in NYC, the High Line. An elevated railway that historically transported freight trains up and down Manhattan's West Side, the once-abandoned High Line was transformed into a public park in 2009. In placing a vintage train car atop the iconic steel supports that now hold the park aloft, our graphic artist was able to create an image that celebrates the High Line's perfect embodiment of old and new. Bonus: 100 percent of the net proceeds from the sale of our collection will be donated to Friends of the High Line to support the conservation and maintenance of this extraordinary space.

Memorable food almost always has a social component, which is a large part of what makes it so enjoyable. Where were you when? It's a question asked of many of life's experiences, and the subject of specially enjoyed food is no exception.

Running down Broadway Avenue toward the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon finish line, Cari Yerkes found herself thinking about another street.
"This is what Boylston would've felt like," she thought.
Boylston Street, the world now knows, is where the Boston Marathon has its finish line. Two weeks ago, it was filled with cheers and music and celebration just like Oklahoma City's was Sunday.
Then a pair of bombs went off.
Yerkes was running Boston and about to make the turn onto Boylston for the final stretch of the race when the blasts occurred. She was one of the thousands of runners who were still on the course and couldn't finish the race.
Sunday, she and husband, Rick, came to Oklahoma City to finish what they started in Boston.
On a day when nearly 25,000 runners filled the streets of Oklahoma City, each of them ran for a different reason. But Cari and Rick Yerkes were among a small group of runners who ran to complete what they couldn't in Boston.
The Memorial Marathon extended an offer: any Boston runner who didn't finish because of the bombings could come run Oklahoma City for free.
Ten runners accepted the invitation.
Cari and Rick Yerkes didn't have to think long about doing it.
They had actually considered coming to Oklahoma City before Boston. They had friends who planned to run Oklahoma City as a tribute to a family member who had died, and Cari and Rick were thinking about making the trip from their Milwaukee home to offer their support.
After Boston, though, they weren't so sure.
"There's no way we're going to Oklahoma City now," they said. "We're not going there."
But only two days later, one of their friends showed them an article about the offer of free registration. The offer touched their hearts.
"Well," Cari said to Rick, "do you want to do it?"
They'd never run marathons within two weeks of each other. They weren't sure how their bodies would hold up or what their times would be. But the more they talked, the less any of that seemed to matter.

The Vikings on Wednesday officially announced two signings.

DT Linval Joseph will wear No. 98 in 2014.
— Vikings PR (@VikingsPR) March 19, 2014
And he didn't even need to buy someone a watch.
Letroy Guion -- who was cut and signed by the Packers -- wore No. 98 last season, so the big defensive lineman won't need to wrest the jersey away from a teammate.
If you missed the reference, here's the story on an interesting Twitter back-and-forth between Captain Munnerlyn (No. 24, formerly 41) and Mistral Raymond (No. 41).
Raymond, of course, isn't obligated to give up his jersey number. Munnerlyn, though, figures to be a much more critical part of the Vikings' defense this season.

Analyzing the Top 10 Hottest NFL Stories right now
Analyzing the 10 hottest stories in the NFL right now.
1. Manning slow decision: trickle down effect
We expected the most decorated free agent in NFL history to have selected a new team by now. We're still waiting, and the fate of three franchises – the Titans, Broncos and 49ers – hangs in the air. The longer the wait, the more devastating the failed Manning pursuit will be for two of those franchises – at least in terms of team morale. The Titans risk little by chasing Manning. Having made it clear after the season that they're entering 2012 with a quarterback competition between Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker, the confidence and credibility of their next signal-caller had already been a bit compromised. Pursuing Manning makes little dent in that situation.
The Broncos are a different story. They have an "icon" at quarterback and a rabid fan base behind him. From their perspective, a starting quarterback's credibility can only be compromised if said credibility actually exists in the first place. There are no official guidelines for what makes up a quarterback's credibility, though football experts have long agreed that "the capacity to throw" is, like a drummer having arms, an implicit prerequisite. In short, the Broncos aren't worried about what their Manning pursuit will do to Tim Tebow's "credibility".
Tebow, despite his 46.5 completion percentage, might have somehow "earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp" (John Elway's words), but any zealot who tries to argue that he would have the right to play ahead of a four-time MVP would be burning all the "benefit of the doubt" that their hero's occasional 2011 magic earned them.
Predictably, the Manning-to-Mile High rumors have incited rumblings that Tebow may now be headed out of Denver. Some have suggested that even if Manning spurns Denver, Elway at this point may still pursue another quarterback. Perhaps Alex Smith. The Niners veteran is in a similar spot as Tebow. He recently recorded a postseason victory with a team that is built around defense and running (i.e. hiding the quarterback's limitations). But Matt Barrow of the Sacramento Bee writes, "Smith almost assuredly would leave the 49ers if they were to sign (Manning)… there is a growing sense that Smith may not be back even if Manning goes elsewhere. Smith, according to sources, is upset at the 49ers, perhaps not because the monetary offer they made him – reportedly $24 million over three years – but because of the job security it provides. Smith felt the 49ers made a commitment to him as their future starter that was not reflected in the contract offer."
Smith visited the Dolphins over the weekend and would likely sign there if Manning became a Niner. If Manning became a Bronco, Smith would likely go back to San Francisco, bury the hatchet with Jim Harbaugh & Co. (if there is a hatchet) and try to defend the NFC West title.
2. Matt Flynn & the still-lonely Dolphins
First things first: signing Flynn is a smart gamble for the Seahawks. They got him for a good price ($26 million over three years, just $10 million guaranteed). Their offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, runs a West Coast system that's somewhat similar to the one Flynn learned in Green Bay. There are five years of Vikings film and another year of Seahawks film that say you can't muster sustainable success with Tarvaris Jackson as your quarterback. So for Seattle, a change – any change – is worth trying.
There's a grain of salt, however: It's possible Flynn isn't that good. When the Seattle news broke, everyone took to Twitter and ripped Miami for not getting the ex-Packer. But when free agency first began, recall that everyone – everyone – had asserted that a lot of the Flynn mystery would be revealed by how hard his ex-coordinator/new Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin pursued him. Well, Philbin's Dolphins looked at Flynn and chose not to offer anything near top dollar. Does that not, like we originally agreed, tell us something about Flynn?
Apparently, it's just more fun for people to discard their original analysis and mock Dolphins owner Stephen Ross instead. True, it has been a tough offseason for Ross. He didn't get his first choice at head coach and, despite even a fan-funded billboard – aka a rich man's homemade bumper sticker – he didn't get Peyton to come to South Beach.
And so the Dolphins remain quarterbackless. Some have suggested that Ross could land Tebow if Manning lands in Denver. That'd be great for jersey sales in May-August, but it'd be bad for games in September-December. Tebow fits Philbin's system like a glove fits a foot.
3. The Other QB's
Isn't it surprising how many possible starters have quickly settled for backup jobs? In the first week of free agency, Kyle Orton agreed to be the No. 2 behind Tony Romo. Jason Campbell agreed to become Jay Cutler's backup (that means another new system for Campbell, by the way). Less surprising but still worthy for this discussion was Rex Grossman returning to Washington (a Pro Football Talk reader brilliantly nicknamed Grossman "RG-3-And-Out") and former first-round pick Brady Quinn signed in Kansas City (where he'll need some luck just to have a chance at competing for Matt Cassel's starting job).
In the past, these guys would have hung around the market a little longer in hopes of at least finding a quarterback competition. But players (and their agents) are wizening up. They're realizing that a dose of humility up front – i.e. the admittance that they're not likely to keep getting chances to start in the NFL anyway – means more money. Campbell got $3.5 million for a one-year deal. Orton got $10.5 million over three years (practically a lifetime contract in the world of backup quarterbacking). If they'd waited, their price tag would have dwindled as it became more and more apparent that no one badly wanted them.
4. Bills relevant, but realism needed
(from March 16)
O.K., so maybe we didn't foresee the Buffalo Toronto Bills making the biggest splash in free agency this off-season. As the esteemed Bills writer Mark Gaughan pointed out in The Buffalo News, "In the 20 years the NFL has used an unrestricted free-agent system, the biggest Buffalo signing was a $7 million-a-year deal given to guard Derrick Dockery in 2007." Williams's annual salary is more than double that. In all, he's reeling in $50 million in guarantees.
Consider that the 27-year-old Williams is coming off a season-ending torn pectoral muscle and that he made nearly $60 million off his rookie contract in Houston. Williams, our No. 1-rated defensive lineman in free agency, must be – unofficially – the first N.F.L. player to make over $100 million primarily on potential. The Texans didn't know for sure what they were getting when they signed him to a mega deal. And now, neither do the Bills.
What the Bills hope they're getting is a top-five defensive end. Or do they view Williams as a top-five outside linebacker? Williams played the stand-up position for five games in Houston last season, and in recent years Buffalo's D has changed back and forth from 4-3 to 3-4 the way some people change back and forth from dress shoes to tennis shoes. Whatever scheme the Bills settle on, Williams will be a one-gap player. It's up to recently promoted defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt to devise attacks that put the pricey pickup in one-on-one situations (Williams's previous coordinator, Wade Phillips, was excellent at that).
Easy as it is to get swept up in the hype, let's acknowledge that the addition of Williams does not suddenly make the Bills' defense elite. They still have a middling linebacking corps (Kirk Morrison at the Mike? Really?). And even with Williams, their pass rush is closer to mediocre than mesmerizing. No player had more than 5.5 sacks for them last season. Not counting 2011 or his '06 rookie campaign, Williams has averaged 11 sacks a year in his career. Very good, yes. Great? No.
Though not a consummate edge rusher, Williams is a superb all-around run defender, which is probably why the Bills felt they could justify overspending to make him the highest-paid defensive player in N.F.L history. Helping owner Ralph Wilson Jr. and General Manager Buddy Nix was the knowledge that, in a few years, the league's new television contracts will rain money on all 32 franchises, no matter how small the market. That's the beauty of the N.F.L. – a team like the Bills can make itself suddenly relevant with one swipe of the pen.
5. Patriots sign Brandon Lloyd (and become borderline unstoppable now)
This news made few waves because it was inevitable. Brandon Lloyd follows Josh McDaniels the way Andy Richter follows Conan O'Brien. Lloyd probably started researching the Quincy real estate market when McDaniels snuck back onto the Patriots staff in January.
But this news' inevitability doesn't make it any less significant. Stop and realize that the Patriots got a really, really good wide receiver here. Lloyd has always produced in McDaniels' system. He's a sharp route runner, acrobatic elevator and ball-plucker and, most importantly, adequate field-stretcher. Whatever weaknesses were in the Patriots' passing game no longer exist. Lloyd won't catch as many balls as Wes Welker, but it's not impossible that, by season's end, he'll be considered New England's most valuable wide receiver.
This signing, as well as New England's signing of former Colts first-round pick Anthony Gonzalez, likely means the end for Chad Ochocinco in Foxboro. It was a disappointing one-year stint, highlighted by Ochocinco's declining change-of-direction-quickness (which had been the crux of his brilliance) and inability to grasp the nuances of the scheme. To Ocho's credit, he ate his humble pie quietly. The smart move from here is for him to accept his athletic decline and commit fulltime to being a celebrity. No shame in bowing out now – 11,059 yards in 11 years is an excellent career.
6. Wide Receivers Ruling Free Agency
(From March 16)
If the first three days of free agency told us anything, it's that the wide receiver position is considered more valuable than ever. Six of our top 10 free-agent receivers are already signed, while several others have been picked up or given new contracts. Traditional thinking has long been that a good offense needs a playmaking star at No. 1 receiver, a reliable possession target at No. 2 and a darting third-down maestro in the slot at No. 3. But look closer at the transactions this week and you'll see that these roles are becoming less relevant.
It's still ideal to have a No. 1 playmaking receiver. Hence, Calvin Johnson's monstrous new contract, the Bucs' signing of Vincent Jackson ($26 million guaranteed) and the Bears' trade of Brandon Marshall (a pair of third-rounders given up). But when you examine these deals from both directions, you see the full scope of today's evolving N.F.L. And that scope reveals that the true No. 1 receiver class is incredibly small – too small to include Marshall and Jackson.
The Bears acquired Marshall because they felt they needed an aerial playmaker once and for all. But why did the Dolphins give him up (and for below market value, no less)? Marshall's off-field problems were seemingly the final straw, but they most likely wouldn't have been if not for new head coach Joe Philbin's system. In Green Bay, Philbin's system did not center on a No. 1-2-3 receiver pecking order; it centered on creating mismatches out of various formations.
Most of those formations involved three wide receivers and an athletically gifted tight end (Jermichael Finley). Whichever player drew the most favorable matchup became the No. 1 receiver. That's why Green Bay's best receiver, Greg Jennings, averaged 73.0 yards per game while Jordy Nelson – a No. 3 receiver in the "old days" – averaged 78.9 yards per game. Jennings was targeted 7.7 times per game, Nelson was targeted 6 times per game and Finley 5.8. There isn't a "No. 1 receiver" in that group – there are simply three very good targets.
Philbin's democratic passing offense puts a premium on catch-and-run quick strikes. That's not a perfect setup for the more methodical Marshall. Thus, when Philbin was hired, the troubled No. 1 receiver suddenly became just a troubled receiver, making him very tradable in the eyes of the Dolphins.
A similar line of thinking showed up in the Vincent Jackson move. The Bucs got a good player and a much-needed jolt to their passing offense, but more revealing is that the Chargers were content to replace Jackson with Robert Meachem. The Chargers know that Jackson is a better player than Meachem (even if Norv Turner is trying to convince the masses that the 27-year-old ex-Saint is a "No. 1"). But in San Diego's system, Jackson is not $12 million-better than Meachem ($12 million being the difference in total guaranteed money the two players got). Turner's offense is predicated on generating big plays through five-and seven-step drop passes. As someone who has averaged 16.1 yards per catch in his career, Meachem fits in. That's all he needs to do – the Chargers know that their system is good enough that their wide receivers simply have to fit in. (This was verified in 2010 when the Chargers, without Jackson for 11 games, without Malcom Floyd for five games and without Antonio Gates for six games, still managed to rank first in total yardage and second in scoring).
Occasionally, the system and the player go hand in hand. With Sean Payton's system, the Saints need a big-bodied seam-runner in the slot. Thus, they re-signed Marques Colston. Because he fills a niche (and plays with a similar-styled talent in Jimmy Graham), Colston is more valuable as a Saint than he'd be on any other team. The same logic applies to Wes Welker and the Patriots. Both are more valuable to each other than anyone or anywhere else.
The common thread among all these "system teams" is a top quarterback. Miami doesn't have one, but Philbin's system derived from Aaron Rodgers's work in Green Bay. In San Diego, Meachem will catch balls from Philip Rivers. Colston catches balls from Drew Brees; Welker from Tom Brady. This is what the experts are really talking about when they say that the N.F.L. is now a quarterback-driven league. It's not just about having a star quarterback who can make great plays – it's about having a star quarterback whom you can build your entire scheme around. When you truly have one of those quarterbacks, your evaluation of wide receivers changes.
These quarterback-driven "system teams" also feature predominantly three-and-four-receiver offenses. As it so happens, they do this out of what's technically base personnel (two receivers, one tight end). But when the tight ends are guys like Jimmy Graham, Jermichael Finley, Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Gates, the effect is the same as three-wide receiver personnel: an offense revolving around creating alignment-based mismatches with three viable targets. The Steelers are another example. They don't have an elite receiving tight end, but they have an elite quarterback and three very, very good young receivers in Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders.
When you don't have a star quarterback, you're stuck in the past, evaluating wideouts in the No. 1-2-3 mold. Teams in this spot are really rolling the dice when investing in receivers. Take the Jaguars and Laurent Robinson. Giving a breakout star like Robinson $14 million guaranteed was probably wise given that a paucity of receiving talent completely neutered the Jaguar offense last season. But there is absolutely no evidence suggesting that Robinson is dynamic enough to create mismatches simply by being on the field. Same goes for Pierre Garcon, who got $20.5 million guaranteed from the Redskins – a team apparently so desperate for receiver help that they're willing to pay guys nearly double what they're actually worth. Garcon is an up-and-coming player, but he's also a product of the Peyton Manning system.
The Jaguars and the Redskins, both of whose offenses are built around traditional two-wideout packages, are banking on their new receivers being good enough to build a passing system around. But we see it no longer works like that. As the elite teams have shown, the N.F.L. is now about creating mismatches with three-and four-receiver formations. If you want to build a truly successful offense around the outdated No. 1-2-3 formula, your No. 1 receiver needs to be insanely talented. As the film shows and the market verifies, only three receivers currently fit this bill: Andre Johnson, who became football's highest-paid receiver in 2010; Larry Fitzgerald, who became football's highest-paid receiver in 2011; and Calvin Johnson, who became football's highest-paid receiver earlier this week.
Johnson is the exception to this off-season's rule. The Lions have a three-receiver offense, but schematically and logistically, it's an offense built around Megatron. That's fine. When a player is as gifted as Calvin Johnson, you build around him. What good teams understand (and bad teams don't) is that Calvin Johnson can play the role of Calvin Johnson, but a merely productive Pro Bowler can't – even if you give him big bucks. The Calvin Johnsons come around only once every three or four years. Systems are nourished and replenished every year.
7. Cowboys make noise (cap punishment be damned)
What hasn't been emphasized about the Cowboys and Redskins salary cap punishments is that even if there is some sort of an appeal and Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder win out, irrevocable damage has already been done. Because the NFL waited until the last minute to notify everyone of these punishments, the 'Boys and 'Skins had no choice but to alter their 2012 free agency plans. If it turns out the league overstepped its bounds here, there's presumably no way to right their wrong without dealing some sort of disadvantage to the other 30 teams later.
The Redskins, docked $26 million over two years, may pursue a fight. The Cowboys, on the other hand, don't seem to have been too tripped up by their two-year, $10 million total cap hit. They've signed starting safety Brodney Poole (an ex-Brown and Jet familiar with Rob Ryan's scheme), linebacker Dan Connor (a solid between-the-tackles thumper who should get plenty of first and second down snaps next to former Penn State teammate Sean Lee), a top quality starting fullback in veteran Lawrence Vickers, a top quality backup quarterback in Kyle Orton, two younger, affordable guards in Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau (neither is great but one should be able to fill the shoes of released Kyle Kosier) and, most importantly, free agency's No. 1 rated defensive back in corner Brandon Carr who, as an expensive but significant upgrade over released veteran Terence Newman, can provide the physical press duties that Ryan's system demands.
8. Chiefs sign the best right tackle in football
The Texans surprised everyone by releasing Eric Winston, the premier right tackle in football early last week. The rest of the NFL surprised no one by showing interest in Winston. The Chiefs ultimately came away with him, thanks to a four-year contract worth over $22 million. Winston is an effective movement-oriented run-blocker who can land clean contact in space and at the second level. He makes Kansas City's addition of running back Peyton Hillis more valuable. In pass protection, Winston is not the most consistent force, but unlike a lot of right tackles, he doesn't require constant help.
9. The Vince Young Watch
Just kidding. There's no Vince Young watch. He remains unsigned.
10. BountyGate (Vilma angle)
The NFL is expected sometime this week to start announcing the punishments for those who participated in the Saints bounties. Some believe that possible punishment for players could come at a later date. The most vulnerable player for a fine and/or suspension is linebacker Jonathan Vilma.
This isn't great timing for the soon-to-be 30-year-old. Coming off knee surgery and due to make $5.5 million in 2012, Vilma is ripe for release. The Saints, in fact, hosted free agent linebackers David Hawthorne, Joe Mays (since re-signed with Denver) and Curtis Lofton this week. Hawthorne can play outside but Mays and Lofton are classic 'mike backers. If Vilma is cut, his looming suspension would be even costlier than the league intended, given that it would impact his market value.
Some have said it's possible the Saints could retain Vilma. He would make a decent weakside linebacker, though new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's scheme favors big, physical 'backers. Part of the reason the undersized Vilma has thrived in New Orleans is because he's erudite and well-suited in Gregg Williams' scheme. That's no longer relevant.

Season 9[edit]
Going, Going, Gone [9.1][edit]
- Meredith (voice over): Dying changes everything. There's the emotional fallout, sure. But there's also the practical stuff. Who's going to do your job? Who's going to take care of your family? The only good thing for you is you don't have to worry about it. People you never knew will be living in your house, working your job. The world just keeps on going… without you.
- Bailey: Does my nickname command respect? [Jackson and Alex turn towards her]
- Webber: No.
- Bailey: Strike fear in the hearts of residents?
- Webber: No.
- Bailey: Well, what is it?
- Webber: You've been... happy. And the interns noticed that your happiness often coincides with the arrival of... of Dr. Warren. And that's all I'm saying!
- Bailey: Oh! Oh! Come on now! You have to tell me!
- Webber: No. I can't! I'm a gentleman. And also... I don't wanna! [Jackson laughs. Bailey looks at both of them quickly]
- Bailey: Wh... wh... oh, come on! [Alex turns towards her]
- Alex: OK, I'm gonna tell you this because I'm literally about to walk out of this hospital forever. [Webber keeps shaking his head towards him] Your nickname is B.C.B.
- Bailey: B.C.B.?
- Alex: Booty Call Bailey. [Bailey looks at him shocked] That's what they call you.
- Webber: If you think you're prepared for what's about to happen, you're not.
- Meredith: [voice over] They say death is hardest on the living. It's tough to actually say goodbye. Sometimes it's impossible. You never really stop feeling the loss. It's what makes things so bittersweet. We leave little bits of ourselves behind, little reminders, a lifetime of memories, photos, trinkets, things to remember us by… even when we're gone.
Remember the Time [9.2][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] I had this memory game when I was a kid. A bunch of cards faced down in rows. Each card has a picture. You turn one over, look at it, then turn it back over. Then you have to try to remember where its matching card was. Sometimes you have no idea, and other times you chose exactly what you need to see. The cards seem completely out of order and random but you keep turning them over and the more cards you see.. you get the sense of how everything fits together.
- Mark: [to Avery] It's actually why we are people but somehow we forget that all that matters is people.And whether we walk away leaving them better or worse for having met us. We control that Avery. I want you to promise me something. if you love someone, tell 'em. Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing, even if you are scared that it'll cause problems, even if you are scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and say it out loud. And then you go from there.
- Meredith: [voice over] You were right, about all of it. You were right. This is a place where horrible things happen. You were right to go - you're probably escaping disaster. Look at me, I practically grew up here. And you're right, it's hurt me in ways I'll probably never get over. I have a lot of memories of people, people I've lost forever, but I have a lot of other memories too. This is the place where I fell in love. The place where I found my family. This is where I learned to be a doctor, where I learned to take responsibility for someone else's life. And it's the place I met you so I figure this place has given me as much as it has taken from me. I've lived here as much as I've survived here, it just depends on how I look at it. I'm gonna choose to look at it that way and remember you that way.
- Christina: [over phone to Meredith] You are my person, you will always be my person.
Love the One You're With [9.3][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Surgeons don't compromise. We defy death, we exceed perfection. We operate for seventeen hours straight if we have to. We aren't built to settle, but that doesn't mean we won't.
- Meredith: [voice over] When we follow our hearts, when we choose not to settle, it's funny. Isn't it? A weight lifts, the sun shines a little brighter, and for a brief moment, we find a little peace.
I Saw Her Standing There [9.4][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] The clothes a surgeon wears help to present an image. The lab coats and badges and scrubs all work together to indicate a person of authority, someone you can trust. When the clothes come off, that's a different story. We're sensitive, lonely, human.
- Meredith: [voice over] It might be hard for a surgeon to admit, but there's no shame in simply being human. It can be a relief to stop hiding, to accept who you really are. A little self awareness never hurt anyone. Because when you know who you are, it's easier to know what you're about, what you really need.
Beautiful Doom [9.5][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Sometimes, things are simply out of your control. You can't change them. You can't bend them to your will. It doesn't matter if you're already forty-five minutes late, your hair isn't brushed, you haven't fixed breakfast and you're hemorrhaging brain cells by the second while you sit here. Dying, dying inside.
- Dr. Thomas: [voice over] Breathe, Dr. Yang. Don't be crass. You're skulking. Women of your generation are graceless. It's an affront to nature. Mediocre surgeons will see you and feel themselves wilting in your shadow. Do not shrink to console them. Do not look for friends here. You won't find them. None of these people has the capacity to understand you. They never will. If you're lucky, one day when you're old and shriveled like me, you'll find a young surgeon with little regard for anything but their craft, and you'll train them like I trained you. Until then, read a good book. You have greatness in you, Yang. Don't disappoint.
Second Opinion [9.6][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Doctors have never had all the answers. There was a time when you were sick, we'd just drain your blood like you were getting an oil change. We're constantly having to rethink what we thought was true and redefine it.
- Meredith: [voice over] It can be scary to find out you've been wrong about something but we can't be afraid to change our minds, to accept that things are different, that they'll never be the same, for better or for worse. We have to be willing to give up what we used to believe. The more we're willing to accept what is and not what we thought, we'll find ourselves exactly where we belong.
I Was Made for Lovin' You [9.7][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Can two people really be meant to be? MFEO. Soulmates. It would be nice if it's true. That we all have someone out there waiting for us. Us waiting for them. I'm just not sure I believe it.
- Derek: [walking into the house, sees Meredith] Oh, Hi!
- Meredith: Hi!
- Derek: So... talked to Clemens, he'll refer the tumor patient to someone over at Seattle Pres.
- Meredith: Great! Uh, take a look at the shirt I bought Zola. It... it's... it's in the bag on the counter.
- Derek: Oh, Meredith. Guys don't get all goo-hoo over baby clothes.
- Meredith: Just look!
- Derek: What is this? [He stares at the t-shirt, surprised. Meredith gets up and he shows her the writing on the t-shirt, which says: 'World's best big sister]
- Meredith: It's only 3 weeks, so I shouldn't even be telling you. I mean... I still have a hostile uterus and terrible things are constantly happening to us, which is why I haven't told anyone, I haven't even told Christina, so... if you tell anyone, I... I swear I will kick you out of this house that you built.
- Derek: Don't worry! And good things happen to us. We're gonna have another baby!
- Meredith: We are gonna have another baby!
- Meredith: [voice over] Maybe I do believe it, all this "meant to be" stuff. Why not believe it, really? Who doesn't want more romance in their life? Maybe it's just up to us to make it happen. To show up and be meant for each other. At least that way you'll find out for sure. If you're meant to be or not.
Love Turns You Upside Down [9.8][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Most people hate hospitals. But not the interns. For them, a hospital is a magical place. It's poetic, the rhythm of the machines, the crackle on the trauma gown, it's a place full of promise, excitement, surprises. It's a place where dreams can come true.
- Meredith: [voice over] There don't have to be harps playing, or birds singing, or rose petals falling from the sky. And there are definitely days when the romance is dead… but if you look around, things are pretty amazing. So stop for a second, enjoy the beauty, feel the magic, drink it in because it won't last forever. The romance will fade, things will happen, people will change, love will die but maybe not today.
Run, Baby, Run [9.9][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] The adrenal system reacts to stress by releasing hormones that make us alert and reactive. The problem is, the adrenal system can't tell what's a regular case of nerves, and what's real impending disaster.
- Meredith: [voice over] The body doesn't know the difference between nerves and excitement, panic and doubt, the beginning and the end. The body just tells you to get the hell out. Sometimes you ignore it… That's the reasonable thing to do. But sometimes you listen; you're supposed to trust your gut. Right? When the body says run… Run!
Things We Said Today [9.10][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] In order to properly treat a problem, a surgeon needs as much information as she can get. So we ask questions. Things like when did the pain begin? Have you experienced these symptoms before? Do you have a family history? Are you currently sexually active? Have you recently undergone surgery? If you're unwilling or unable to answer these and other questions, we're forced to rely on tests for insight. Until those test results come back, there's nothing we can do but wait.
- Meredith: [voice over] The next time you're in your doctor's office, remember she's not asking all those questions for her health. She's asking them for yours. Tell her everything. The small details aren't trivial. They actually make the story. There's no rush, take all the time you need, start at the beginning.
The End is The Beginning is the End [9.11][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] The big day is here. The day you're gonna hear the news, the test result. Is the biopsy malignant or benign? Am I gonna live or die? You just want to know even if the news is scary because then you can move on. Whatever that means.
- Meredith: [voice over] They say ignorance is bliss because once you know about the tumor or the prognosis, you can't go back. Will you be strong or will you fall apart? It's hard to predict so don't worry about it. Enjoy the time you have before the news comes. Yep, ignorance is bliss.
Walking on a Dream [9.12][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Patients who undergo an amputation often feel a sensation where the missing limb was as if it's still there. The syndrome is called phantom limb. It's as if the body can't accept that a terrible trauma has occurred. The mind is trying to make the body complete again. Patients who experience phantom limb report many different sensations but by far the most common is pain.
- Meredith: [voice over] The body can be stubborn when it comes to accepting change. The mind holds out hope that the body can be whole again and the mind will always fight for hope, tooth and nail. Until it finds a way of understanding its new reality and accepts that what is gone is gone forever.
Bad Blood [9.13][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] We've all heard the buzz words, streamline, optimize integrate, adapt. Every day someone comes up with a new strategy or tool or technology to increase our efficiency. The idea is to make our lives easier but the question is, does it?
- Meredith: [voice over] To really be efficient, you have to eliminate what doesn't work. You have to figure out what is important and hold on tight to the things that matter most.
- Alana Cahill: If you need to blame instead of thank me, I'm fine with that, because I will know who saved it [the hospital]. I've saved a dozen before just like this one and no one thanked me for those either.
The Face of Change [9.14][edit]
- Alex: [voice over] I'm not big into change. In oncology, when a normal cell changes into something malignant, it's called cellular transformation. The damn cells turn toxic right in front of your eyes. So as far as I'm concerned transformation sucks.
- Alex: [voice over] Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted. Things are uncertain. And there's no turning back. The world around you is different now. Unrecognizable and there's nothing you can do about it. You're stuck. The future's staring you in the face. And you're not sure you like what you see. Like I said, I'm not big into change.
Hard Bargain [9.15][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] They say there's one sure sign of a successful negotiation. It's that when the parties leave the table, they both feel like they've been screwed. The goal is a compromise. A situation where everybody wins.
- Meredith: [voice over] They say that negotiation is an art form. Yet, when we negotiate, we have a strategy, we use tactics. Strategies and tactics aren't words we use for seeking a compromise. These are words for going to war.
This Is Why We Fight [9.16][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] There is a procedure to treat epilepsy that involves surgically severing the connection between the left and right brain. The goal is to block signals that cause seizures. The problem is this also cuts off the brain's ability to communicate with itself. The left side has no idea what the right side is up to. A patient may experience problems with coordination, memory, speech. It's a drastic solution that's only considered when all other options have failed because once a surgeon makes that cut, there's no going back.
- Catherine Avery: Now give your mama a kiss Jackson, she just bought you a hospital.
- Meredith: [voice over] There's a reason surgeons are willing to roll the dice on a risky, go-for-broke, point-of-no-return surgery with potentially devastating consequences. Sometimes, it works.
Transplant Wasteland [9.17][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] To a critically ill patients, an organ transplant means a new start, a second chance. But the body is designed to fight off any outside invader, even the one that is trying to save it. Because the transplant doesn't guarantee that's an easier life, there's the threat that the body will reject the organ outright.
- Meredith: [voice over] The transplant process is very scary. The patient goes from worrying about getting an organ, to worrying if the organ will be rejected. The anxiety continues, until they can finally open their eyes after surgery, and see that their gift has been accepted.
Idle Hands [9.18][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Work keeps our minds active, it keeps us out of trouble. When we're not working, our hands are idle and the devil will find work for idle hands to do. And when you have an idle mind, well, that's the devil's playground too.
- Meredith: [voice over] At first, idleness can seem like a welcome distraction. The troublemaking and the fun. Everyone needs some idle time to focus on something other than work, even if it means focusing on something that's a little bit scary. Stepping back from work is the only way to change perspective. And it's only after we had everything in perspective that we remember where our hands truly belong.
Can't Fight This Feeling [9.19][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Let's say you're standing in an OR, staring at an aneurysm that's embedded deep into a patient's frontal lobe. There are three things you'll need to remove it. You'll need confidence, you'll need an eleven blade and some really good instincts.
- Meredith: [voice over] There are some feelings that refuse to go away, they're little distractions whispering in your ear. Some things just get under your skin. Try as you might, you can't ignore your instincts. It's like they say, always follow your intuitions.
She's Killing Me [9.20][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] Patients say it all the time, "Tell me straight up, I just want to know what's going on. Tell me, I can handle it." We don't dodge your questions because we're mean. We do it because when you say you want the truth, you have no idea what you are talking about.
- Meredith: [voice over] They say the truth will set you free. What the hell do they know? The truth is horrible, frightening. The truth is more than you can bear. We're supposed to be straight with you, so be careful what you ask for when you walk into a hospital because when you find out what's really going on, you may never recover.
Sleeping Monster [9.21][edit]
- Bailey: [voice over] Infections are like sleeping monsters. You can't see them, you can't feel them. But you must do everything in your power to contain them. Because when the monsters wake up, they're out of control.
- Alex: [To Cristina] I'm such an idiot. I love her!
- Bailey: [voice over] All that time you spent convincing yourself the sleeping monster wasn't real, it was gathering strength. The infection was spreading. The monster's awake now and there's nothing you can do about it.
Do You Believe in Magic? [9.22][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] There's no such thing as magic, as far as we know. And while as surgeons, we study the secrets behind the human body's intricate network of cells, tissues and organs. When things go wrong, horribly, horribly wrong, there are only so many tricks we have up our sleeves to put a body back together. But there is a kind of power, more of a spell really, and when we get it right, it can be pretty damn magical.
- Meredith: [voice over] As surgeons we are no stranger to the breaks and tears in the human body, in fact we sacrifice the better part of our twenties learning every possible way to make it a whole again. But there are some wounds a surgeon can't repair. Not on their own. It takes a kind of power we just don't have. There's no such thing as magic, not in the traditional 'abracadabra, genie in a bottle' kind of way. But there is magic in knowing that while not everything can be repaired, most everything can be survived.
Readiness Is All [9.23][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] They hit you out of nowhere. When bad things come, they come suddenly, without warning. We rarely get to see the catastrophe coming, no matter how well we try to prepare for it.
- Meredith: [to Alex] People change, but they don't change.
- Meredith: [voice over] We do our very best, but sometimes it's just not good enough. We buckle our seatbelts, we wear a helmet, we stick to the lighted paths, we try to be safe. We try so hard to protect ourselves, but it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Cause when the bad things come, they come out of nowhere. The bad things come suddenly, with no warning. But we forget that sometimes that's how the good things come too.
Perfect Storm [9.24][edit]
- Meredith: [voice over] I had this bad ass professor in med school. She seemed invincible. Then, one day, she needed her gall bladder out and the surgery killed her. Her platelets stopped clotting, she bled out on the table. Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. Surgeons have a name for it. We call it a perfect storm. Funny, never thought it would happen to me.
- Arizona: Ahh, you weren't on the plane Callie! You weren't in the woods, and you did not hear Meredith crying for Lexie, or Mark moaning in pain, or hearing me scream in pain, you weren't there, and you keep acting like you were, but you weren't, and it wasn't your experience.
- Callie: [crying] I lost Mark; you almost died.
- Arizona: "I lost Mark; you almost died." You weren't on the fricking plane! You wanted the street cred, the badge of honor, the warrior wounds, Great! Stick out your leg and I'll grab a bone saw and let's even the score! [crying] Ohh...
- Callie: [crying] It always comes back to the leg..
- Arizona: [crying] I trusted you more than anything... more than anyone in my life. And you decided to cut off..
- Callie: To save your life!
- Arizona: You didn't lose anything! I did, I did!
- Callie: Apparently I lost you...
- Meredith: [voice over] There's an end to every storm. Once all the trees have been uprooted. Once all the houses have been ripped apart. The wind will hush, the clouds will part, the rain will stop, the sky will clear in an instant. But only then, in those quiet moments after the storm, do we learn who was strong enough to survive it.
