Don't compare today's comedy version of "The Longest Yard" to the old with Burt Reynolds. Today's is good and effective for what it is, a comedy film with a bit of action interlaced. So many classic Hollywood films were so good, that any attempt at a remake is just going to fall flat on its face. The Longest Yard with Adam Sandler is more of today's take on the story if you asked me. It has humor, and is Sandler at his best with Chris Rock playing his role well too. Critics and classic moviegoers beware. Unless you are open-minded, you will never find the hidden treasures of the movie world. It's a football comedy, plain and simple.
I have read bad comment, after bad comment, about this movie, and I saw it, and I am sick and tired of everybody giving it a bad rap. People are downsizing it because it isn't enough like the original. But to truly enjoy this movie, you have to realize that it isn't really a remake. It's an homage. All it has is the same basic idea, and the characters. I found this an absolutely brilliant comedy, filled with frequent references to the original. It's genius characterizations of what some prison inmates might act like work perfectly. Especially Richard Kiels character turned into a weightier, less intelligent black man. I also quite enjoyed the frequent humor derived from taking scenes from the original and changing the words into PG-13. Although it originally seems silly, the player sh***ng himself scene is so much better when you realize it was originally the broke his f****ng neck scene. Also, the million one-liners, I guess could be taken badly, but only if you're looking for them to be. Possibly the reason everybody hates this so much is because they're looking for it to be the original. If you're going to see this, remember, it's not the original. Its an Adam Sandler movie making homage to the Longest Yard.
People who lined up to bash this film had better get used to seeing
more like it. Hollywood these days is stuck in a rut where three types
of films account for nearly every film they release. Those are:
remakes, sequels, and films based on comic book characters. The Longest
Yard would of course fit into the first category. It is a slightly
updated, but fairly faithful remake of the 1974 film of the same name.
This time, we have Adam Sandler who plays the incarcerated quarterback
that Burt Reynolds played in the original. Reynolds is on hand to play
a minor role which the original film also contained. The plot is still
the same. Prisoners vs guards in a game of football. Pretty simple.
Did the film make me laugh? Sure it did. There are more than a few chuckles, but not much in the way of side-splitting material. Sandler is actually not that memorable in this film. Some of the best performances actually come from people you might not expect. I was truly impressed with Nelly and Michael Irvin. Both men had their characters down, and really proved they could actually act. Chris Rock is about as good as you'd expect. Your own personal opinion of him will determine how you rate his performance. James Cromwell plays the corrupt warden about as well as you might expect. He's pretty much got the market cornered on evil white guy roles, since J.T. Walsh's untimely death. The rest of the cast becomes a game of "see if you can spot the NFL player, WWE combatant, or famous sports journalist". And what on earth was Cloris Leachman doing in the Bernadette Peters role from the original? Did she lose some kind of bet with Sandler on the set of Spanglish or something?
Should this film have been made? Well, we film critics can argue that point all day. The truth of the matter is that this film grossed over $150,000,000!!! As far as the studio bosses are concerned, this film was more than worth it. This was actually one of the more profitable comedies released this year, so you can expect more like it in the near future. I'll give it 6 of 10 stars. Don't expect anywhere near the film we got in 1974. But there are plenty of worse films on the shelves at your local video store.
The Hound.
I went to this film thinking it was going to suck. I was a big fan of
the original. Loved it as a kid, although I know it's not a great film
or anything.
I was surprised at how fun the remake was, although it is a superficial kind of fun. The original had better casting and stronger character development. Reynolds and Eddie Albert are so wonderful in their roles, Sandler and the new warden are pretty damn lame in comparison. And the original spent more time building the characters, so that by the end, the film really resonated in a way the remake does not.
BUT, the remake is a fun & energetic piece of pop entertainment. It goes much more for broad comedy and pretty much succeeds. It's not super- hilarious, but it's funny enough and much funnier than the original. Although Sandler is wrong for the part, he's likable enough. Chris Rock is funny, as are some of the others. And the overall brisk pace keeps the whole thing afloat.
Yes, it's a disposable movie. It lacks the dark undercurrents that made the first one so good. It even seems to self-consciously acknowledge that it will never stand outside the shadow of Burt Reynolds. No, it doesn't have as much substance, but it has its own childish charm.
The remake here was surprisingly good and pretty true to the original
movie but will be most enjoyed by Adam Sandler fans or fans of the
original. Except for a few exceptions to keep it up to date and a few
to screw with those that saw the original, the stories are pretty much
identical. The main character were all the same as well, but the
supporting cast, especially the guards and cons, were changed up a bit.
Former NFL quarterback Paul Crewe (Sandler, replacing the original Burt Reynolds) is arrested and faces a 3 year sentence for GTA, DUI and I am sure some other stuff which is unimportant. After his sentencing, Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) pulls a few strings to get Crewe placed in his prison so he can coach his semi-pro team. Upon the urging of Captain Knauer (William Fichtner), Crewe declines, which sets the wheels in motion for an eventual game between Crewe and the convicts against Knauer and the guards.
The supporting football players were the real highlights of the movie, most notably Bob Sapp and Kevin Nash (I hate to say it but Nash did a good job. If only he was this good a wrestler), with honorable mentions to Nelly, Michael Irvin, Bill Goldberg, Steve Austin, Bill Romanowski & Brian Bosworth. Also, who could forget Chris Rock as Caretaker? This could not have been cast better.
Overall, A good comedy worth seeing. Especially if you are a Sandler fan.
I'm going to start off by admitting that I had no interest in this
movie whatsoever. I only saw it because I was dragged. Was it as bad as
I thought? Not at all. It was way better than I expected it to be. We
all know those mindless comedies that barely have a plot, cheap
dialogue and jokes, and are just filled with stupidities galore. I
thought this was one of them. I was wrong. This remake had a pretty
good storyline and a few laughable jokes and moments. I usually don't
laugh out loud at movies, but I did find myself doing so three or four
times here. So that takes care of the Funniness Factor. The story is
easy to get involved in--you want to see the prisoners kick the guards'
butts in football. It is a well played story and fun to watch. Sandler
is not one of my favorite actors, but I have to give him his props
because I am starting to see that he usually stars in movies that are
at least remotely funny and that have a pretty decent plot. But the
main thing is that his characters usually act the same. I would get
into the slight lack of character development, but I'm sure you don't
care to read about that. You only wish to know if this movie is funny
or not and if it's worth watching! Well, yes the movie has its moments
and it's good to watch, especially if you like football or are a
Sandler fan. This has its good kicks and it is near a touchdown in the
comedy category. So if you want to have a good time and relax to some
entertainment, you can watch this one =)
6.6/10 Stars
I too got to see a free-sneak peak of this film in NYC and I'll tell you one thing . . there were no sleepers in the cinema! A very mixed crowd from race to ages here and everyone seemed to be having a great time . . even the teenager who sat behind me who reminded me of every actor when he appeared on the screen .. like Nelly. I haven't had this much fun in the theater in quite awhile. No, it's not a super serious film, but if you like football and the good feeling of revenge you'll love this film. Lots of violent blows from the guards and a little racism, but nothing too "out of the ordinary" . . some great one-liners from Chris Rock's character. A definite #1 film for Memorial Day weekend when it opens. I can see this film bringing in some good dough this summer.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I just saw this movie for the first time. I really like sports movies,
so I was expecting to like it. But within the first 15 minutes there
were so many stereotypes and really derogatory comments that I was
disgusted. But, I didn't have the opinion to stop watching it (I was on
a bus with 40 other people).
I was so shocked that they would do that. I mean, they talked about black people, white people, and gay/transvestite people is a way that you would think that the writers had never really met any of those people. The stereotypes of the black people was everything you would expect. Trash talking, playing dirty. They are even playing street basketball. The white people are just as bad. The one that shocked me the most was the portrayal of the transvestites. These people were shown in such a bad way. It was suggested that they kind of slept around and that they pushed their sexual orientation onto everyone. Granted, I have never been in prison. But those kind of people do not act like that in the real world. At least not the kind that I've met. If a person didn't know the facts, they could easily assume that's how all transvestites act. And I would think that in a country like ours, people would come to be a little more respectful and not pull stuff like that.
I was basically appalled by the writing of this movie. It is one thing to write to what the audience wants to see. It is a totally different subject to write characters based on stereotypes and misconceptions. The writers really need to think about what they are writing next time.
I loved this movie! I have seen the original, also, and I have to say that this version is much more fun to watch and should appeal to a wider audience. For those who thought this was going to be a more serious movie for Adam Sandler....what on earth gave you that idea?? It's a comedy. It's meant to be funny and it is. If you are not a fan of Adam Sandler's then don't bother with it, because you won't like it. If you are a fan, I believe you will enjoy it very much. If you have absolutely no sense of humor, as it seems quite a few who have written comments about this movie are lacking just that, then don't bother with it either. I know when my husband and I saw it, the whole audience was roaring with laughter throughout the movie and my husband has informed me that he cannot wait for it to come out on DVD. It was a whole lot of fun to watch and I recommend it highly.
I rate Adam Sandler pretty highly as an actor: Punch Drunk Love and Spanglish are among my favourite films and he is excellent in both. Sadly, The Longest Yard utterly stifles this talent - and the talents of his co-stars, including Chris Rock, James Cromwell and William Fichtner - by entrusting the direction and script to witless cretins. I probably wouldn't have minded the litany of movie clichés if they hadn't been so wilfully and ineptly used. To make matters irredeemably worse, just about every ethnic and social male stereotype is kicked out onto the field for the delectation of their young white target audience. I haven't seen the original, but I'm willing to bet Burt came away from this remake ruing the direction popular cinema has taken since 1974.

Bill Gross, co-founder and co-CIO of PIMCO, is to my mind one of the shrewdest money men around. His monthly newsletter, this month entitled "Midnight Candles", therefore always makes for thought-provoking reading.He concludes the newsletter as follows:Asset appreciation in US and other G-7 economies has been artificially elevated for years. In order to prevent prices sinking even lower than recent downtrends averaging 30% for stocks, homes, commercial real estate, and certain high yield bonds, central banks must keep policy rates historically low for an extended period of time. If policy rates are artificially low then bond investors should recognize that artificial buyers of notes and bonds (quantitative easing programs and Chinese currency fixing) have compressed almost all interest rates.But while this may support asset prices - including Treasury paper across the front end and belly of the curve, at the same time it provides little reward in terms of future income. Investors, of course, notice this inevitable conclusion by referencing Treasury Bills at .15%, two-year Notes at less than 1%, and 10-year maturities at a paltry 3.40%. Absent deflationary momentum, this is all a Treasury investor can expect. What you see in the bond market is often what you get.Broadening the concept to the U.S. bond market as a whole (mortgages + investment grade corporates), the total bond market yields only 3.5%. To get more than that, high yield, distressed mortgages, and stocks beckon the investor increasingly beguiled by hopes of a V-shaped recovery and 'old normal' market standards. Not likely, and the risks outweigh the rewards at this point.Investors must recognize that if assets appreciate with nominal GDP, a 4-5% return is about all they can expect even with abnormally low policy rates. Rage, rage, against this conclusion if you wish, but the six-month rally in risk assets - while still continuously supported by Fed and Treasury policymakers - is likely at its pinnacle. Out, out, brief candle."
he's wrong! no imaginationcould you post the link instead of what suits your needs!sure be greatful.

The Hold Steady
iTunes - Live from SoHo
US: 18 Jan 2011
UK: 18 Jan 2011
Recorded last year, the Hold Steady's stripped-down acoustic session for iTunes tilts understandably towards a playlist of deflated and sadly-knowing ballads. The set reinforces the dad-friendly vibe of the Minnesota-born indie darlings' last record Heaven is Whenever, and as such carries the same lingering stench of folkish blandness of that decidedly mixed musical bag. Still, even if the band is busy counting crows, Craig Finn holds sway with his wavering novelistic charm. The setlist matches a smooth, low-key take on "Chips Ahoy!" with its recent narrative continuation, "The Weekenders" (albeit in reverse order); Finn even indulges in a brief bit of VH1 Storytellers banter concerning the former, telling us that the signature single from Boys and Girls in America is about, well, pretty much what it is quite obviously about. Complaints aside, though, as long as Finn continues his recurring sung/spoken references to Massachusetts, Led Zeppelin, Catholicism, and those intermingling characters, places, and moments that make up the Hold Steadyverse, then his band can never really fail to engage.

Looking to get organized? Start with a small task and work up.
Small tasks will allow you to feel a sense of achievement sooner which will motivate you to keep going.
The secret to organizing success is feeling and experiencing the organizing euphoria that you get when you accomplish an area that has been cluttering your physical and mental space.
Pure and simple. It is a great feeling! Take pride in your accomplishments and the feeling that comes with being organized. You can do it!
I Dare You!
A great place to take some baby steps is with your wallet. We all have one…we all use it regularly…it's usually not that big and it shouldn't take too much time to organize. A cluttered wallet can lead to frustration when you need to find something and can't….we then drag ourselves down with negative talk. "I know I had it here somewhere…..I just had it…..darn what could I have done with it".
You then mentally trace your steps back….over and over again. Who needs it? Who has the time? Instead take that wallet of yours and dump the contents out. Right now, I dare you. Dump it on the floor, bed, wherever you are and start sorting.
Put all your receipts together. Put all the coins together, bills, credit cards, debit cards, coupons, business cards, scraps….gosh knows whatever else you might have in there. Sort it out and put back only the bare necessities….do away with everything else. Dump some of that spare change that has been weighing you down into a piggy bank. File or turf old receipts, put all your coupons together in one section. Now slowly close that wallet up….yep its actually gonna close this time.
There, doesn't that feel good….are you feeling the bliss yet? You will the next time you go to the store and you are able to find exactly what you need when you need it.
A bigger high
Move onto your purse. A bigger job, a little more time but believe me, the high only gets better with each task. The bigger the task the bigger the high…..and you want to know another secret….it's contagious. [LG]Try this for your purse[/LG]
Suddenly you find yourself looking for more tasks just so you can feel that high again…..oh ya it's good….experience it for yourself and tell me all about it!
Are you addicted yet?

James Owen Sullivan (February 9, 1981 – December 28, 2009), more commonly known by his stage name The Rev (shortened version of The Reverend Tholomew Plague), was an American musician and songwriter, best known as the drummer and founding member for ...the American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. The Rev was critically acclaimed for his work on Avenged Sevenfold albums, and contributed entire songs written by himself, such as Chapter Four, Afterlife, "A Little Piece of Heaven" and Almost Easy. He was also the lead vocalist/pianist in Pinkly Smooth, a side project where he was known by the name Rathead, with fellow Avenged Sevenfold member and childhood best friend, guitarist Synyster Gates, and he was the drummer for Suburban Legends from 1998 to 1999.

Although the rooms looked clean, our kids knees and feet were completely black after playing on the floor for a couple of hours. Also, dining is VERY limited in the area. We had to drive to the next exit to get dinner or eat at Ihop. The pool is extremely small. If you're just passing through this hotel is ok, but don't take your shoes off until you hit the bed! Breakfast was acceptable, with self serve waffle maker, cereal juice and muffins.

Donald Trump had promised to bring showbiz pizzazz to the Republican convention, but it was instead the Democrats who put on a slick show of A-list entertainers in their bid to elect Hillary Clinton. Shortly before Clinton's high-stakes speech to accept the presidential nomination on Thursday, the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia brought out one of the biggest stars there is -- Katy Perry. Perry's voice returned at the end of the convention as Clinton and her running mate Tim Kaine came out to her blockbuster song "Firework," as real fireworks erupted from the stage at a packed Philadelphia sports arena.
The Bank of Japan expanded stimulus on Friday by doubling purchases of exchange-traded funds (ETF), yielding to pressure from the government and financial markets for bolder action, but disappointing investors who had set their hearts on more audacious measures. The dollar fell more than a full yen on Friday at one point to as low as 102.825 and the Nikkei average tumbled nearly 2 percent, after the BOJ's decision fell short of expectations.

Health officials in Nevada urged Filipino residents to get screened for Hepatitis B through its ongoing campaign.
Health researchers said that one out of ten Pinoys are probably infected with the Hepatitis-B virus, which is considered a silent killer.
People infected with this virus may develop liver cirrhosis or pancreatic cancer.
Sixty one-year-old Nonnie Mediarito, a retired U.S. service man, found out that he was Hepatitis B-positive in 2000.

House Democrats' Fundraising Sets Record After Health Care Ruling
House Democrats have raised $2.3 million since last week's Supreme Court ruling on the health care law and marked their biggest grassroots fundraising day in history, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said early Tuesday.
Nearly 65,000 Democratic supporters have contributed an average of $35 since the high court ruled on Thursday that President Barack Obama's signature health care law was constitutional. Grassroots donors gave more money on Saturday than any other day in history, DCCC chairman Steve Israel said.
"House Democrats are shattering records because Americans are energized about historic protections for middle-class health care consumers and appalled that Republicans plan to vote to put insurance companies back in charge of their health care," Israel said in a statement. "House Democrats are on offense and will continue to unmask this House Republican majority's reckless agenda that started with drastically cutting Medicare for s

Samsung launches S Health services: Monitors weight, blood sugar and graphs it all
Samsung mentioned its S Health app in passing during the grand unveiling of the Galaxy S III -- presumably due to the glut of similarly S-suffixed apps and services that were also unveiled. The service has now apparently launched in Samsung's homeland, alongside more details of what it'll offer. This includes a raft of metric-measuring charts, as well as the ability to connect through Bluetooth and USB to health devices like heart-rate monitors and connectivity-friendly scales. The app will record and even graph your health ups and downs, aiming to help "regulate" what you eat and gauge exactly how much you exercise. It has now launch on Samsung's App hub and will make its way to the US and five to-be-confirmed European countries soon

1) 5 minute warmup led by all three- Ashly, Maksim, and Kym. Pretty good warmup but too short to be of much benefit.
2) 10 minutes- paso doble led by Maksim. Not too bad. Pretty easy to follow along. A lot of lunges- hard on joints, especially knees. For me, I would do a different step for that part.
3)10 minutes- an extremely fast cha cha led by Ashly. I found her voice too high and chirpy; she kept repeating steps ie. back, back, back. Very annoying. Ended up skipping all together because too hard to follow.
4)10 minutes- samba led by Kym. Fairly easy to follow. A lot twisting and jumping type moves- you definitely feel the "burn" in your hips and buns! After more practice it'd probably be easier. I'm a bit uncoordinated so I may need more time than most.
5)10 minutes- jive led by all three. Really fast, more complicated steps. Needed to be broken down and done slower (at least to start out with). A lot of jumping and kicking. Not too bad on your joints. Again, following along may become easier after more attempts. This dance is probably easier for more experienced dancers... At least I'd hope- the pros make it look so easy, their movements smooth and fluid... Gotta give credit to the stars that manage to pull off this dance- it's not easy!
6) 10 minutes- "improv" led by all three. This section is a complete waste of time. They're just doing whatever they feel like. The other two have a hard enough time following the one leading- and we're supposed to follow?? I'm going to be skipping this part in the future.Read more ›
This is one of the best workout DVD's I've ever had (definitely the best dance DVD), and the previous reviews don't do it justice. Yes, it's a DANCE workout -- and yes, they just show you the steps and then get it on with the routine. However ... if you've EVER done any formal dance moves, you'll know or can pick up most of these moves anyway.
I'm not a dancer, but I've taken aerobics dance classes, a line dance class, and recently an intro to ballroom (yes, because of DANCING WITH THE STARS). I had no problem at all following this tape. When they showed a cha-cha step or a triple step or a turn, for instance, I already knew it. (BTW, it was not the ballroom class that taught me this, but the more general dance aerobics). The few steps I didn't know I just watched. The dancers repeated them several times (and the camera shows them full body), even if they didn't break them down and show them to you slowly. I caught on.
The workout was incredible! The individual dances are really long (ten minutes each of continuous movement), plus a warmup and cooldown which were each five minutes. The DVD has some excellent features, among them the opportunity to program your own custom workout. I did the warmup, the cha cha, the jive and the cooldown, which was 30 minutes total, and I could feel it in every single muscle when I was done.Read more ›

text: The Internet lacks a coherent model which unifies security (in terms of where packets are allowed to go) and routing (where packets should be sent), even in constrained environments. Routing and firewalling are generally treated as separate problems, in spite of their clear connection. In particular, security policies in data hosting centers, enterprise networks, and backbones are still by and large installed manually, and are prone to problems from errors and misconfigurations. In this paper, we present Predicate Routing as a solution to this problem. In current IP networks, the routing state of the system is primarily represented as a set of routing tables (local to each router) and a set of filtering rules (also local to each router or firewall). In contrast, Predicate Routing represents the state of the network as a set of boolean expressions associated with links which assert which kinds of packet can appear where. From these expressions, routing tables and filter rules can be derived automatically. Conversely, the consequences of a change in network state can be calculated for any point in the network (link, router, or end system), and predicates derived from known configuration state of routers and links. This subsumes notions of both routing and firewalling. We briefly describe our centralized implementation and then outline the extension of Internet routing protocols to support Predicate Routing.

We arrived for check in at approx 630pm to be told that there were no rooms left with 2 queen size beds. We had made our reservation months ago. I was travelling with my husband and 12 and 13 year old boys. The girl behind reception was very apologetic and offered us free breakfast and waived the resort fee, she would not however offer dinner for that evening. The upshot was we had a roll up bed delivered yo the room which slept 1 and 3 had to sleep in the king size bed, not ideal I have to say, when we specifically booked 2 queen size beds. However the hotel itself is nice, we had a room with a balcony with a view of the golf course. Glad we only had to stay 1 night though, 3 in a bed is ridiculous! The breakfast was nice with a good selection and the hot chocolates were very delicious. Service very good.

Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
Andre Dawson was born the same year I was - 1954. His birthday is the same as my eldest child's - July 10. But neither of those trivial bits have anything at all to do with his candidacy for election to baseball's hall of fame.
There's a strong numerical case to be made on behalf of The Hawk. I'll leave it to others to keep making it. But once it's been laid out I'd add a couple of intangible, immeasurable flourishes as finishing touches.
I remember a game that I want to say, but can't prove, happened during Dawson's MVP season of 1987 when everything he did seemed spectacular. Whoever was the starting pitcher for the Cubs on this particular day didn't have it and was getting cuffed around in the top of the 1st. The first two outs of the game were accomplished by Dawson throwing runners out at the plate, prompting an admiring Harry Caray to remark, "Dawson's pitching a better game than [fill in the blank]!"
A more generic endorsement of his worthiness, in my book, is the trouble he went to on a daily basis just to take the field. Dawson was known for spending a couple of hours both before and after games icing his fragile knees so he could stay in the lineup and off the DL. He not only insisted on playing, he managed to do it at a consistently high level. People always talk about athletes as role models for kids. The hell with that. What about serving as role models for their peers? I always thought Dawson must have been a tremendous example in the clubhouse of how a true professional should approach his craft.
And then on a related note, of course, there's the quasi-legendary blank contract that Dawson accepted to play for the Cubs in the first place, confident that his production would be fairly compensated after the fact instead of on the come.
Milton Bradley and, his prodigious power numbers notwithstanding, Sammy Sosa may have been highly paid for their time in right field at Wrigley, but you can combine the two at their respective bests and still have nothing more than a cheap imitation of Andre Dawson.
He was truly menacing both in the field and at the plate in ways that only the very best ever are. If you insist on numbers, Dawson compiled those too. But mostly he stacked up exclamations like, "Holy Cow!"
Here's hoping he gets in this time around and holds the door open for Santo next year
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
Wasn't he the first to wear form fitting around his thighs? They were quite a target for intimidation from the mound to the plate, but that's where his power was.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
I wish the world had seen him play in Montreal before his knees were shot. As great as his 1987 season was, I think there is a lot of residual resentment that he won the MVP for a last place team.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
I don't think there's resentment over Dawson winning an MVP. He won it because Smith and Clark split their vote for the Cardinals. It happens.
I think if anything is keeping him out it's the spotlight that's been shone recently on OBP. Dawson's is awful.
I'm often interested to know the age of the extreme Dawson lovers. Or lovers of any player from the past for that matter. Many, it seems, were kids or fairly young fans when Hawk was playing for the Cubs and I think a lot of their love is fueled by the nostalgia you feel for that time in your life as a fan. You can never care about a player as much as you do when you're a kid.
Same with me for Williams, Santo and Jenkins. I've heard some good arguments on why Williams shouldn't be in the Hall. But I'm glad he is. And it's probably just my age but Santo not being in is a far bigger injustice than Dawson not being in.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
I'm a big Dawson fan, but "Milton Bradley and, his prodigious power numbers notwithstanding, Sammy Sosa may have been highly paid for their time in right field at Wrigley, but you can combine the two at their respective bests and still have nothing more than a cheap imitation of Andre Dawson." doesn't make any sense unless you're talking about some nebulous integrity standard.
There are very few players in the history of baseball who had a five year stretch as good as Sosa's from 1998 to 2002, and they're all HoF'ers or on their way.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
If the best arguments for Andre Dawson being in the hall of fame is that he "looked" like a HoF'er or that he worked hard, he doesn't belong. He's one of those guys, like Rice, who will lower the statistical threshold for other players to get in.
Baseball wise, Sammy and Dawson were very similar players. CF'ers with power and speed who didn't hit for much average or walk often, who eventually moved to right field.
Maybe you should have watched Sosa play in the flesh, and you'd know a little more about him (since you seem to think I haven't seen Dawson play.)
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
Dawson belongs more than rice.
Rice getting in opens the doors to alot of nearly greats

Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
problem with dawson is no one knew he existed until he became a cub.
looking around the net you'd swear he was a rookie coming to the cubs. hell, even "best of" and highlight shows VERY rarely shows any footage of him in MON.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
it didn't help his HOF case that the only time Dawson made it to postseason as an Expo was in 1981, in the strike shortened season. They got into the playoffs by being the 2nd half East division winners. The Expos did beat the Phils (the first half winners) in the NLDS but lost to Fernando and the Dodgers in the NLCS.
81 Expos:
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
Using the Hall's 75 percent threshold, the Tribune's voters would elect Roberto Alomar, Andre Dawson
The ballots include Sullivan, Rogers, Greenstein, Mitchell, Hersch, Van Dyck and Gonzalez.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
I'm old enough to have seen Dawson in his prime and given the choice between Sosa in his prime or Dawson in his, it's Dawson. Dawson had all 5 tools and used them all. Sosa had at least 4 tools and chose to use 1. Better player, better teammate, hands down.
Just for kicks, lets look up the "five tools" at their best, and see how they compare:
Hitting for Average: Sosa .328 Dawson .308
Hitting for Power: Sosa 66 HR's Dawson 49
Throwing: Sammy 17 assists Dawson 17
Running: Sammy 36/11 SB/CS. Dawson 39/10
Fielding: CF/RF Rate 97/109 Dawson 110/110
Then there's the "6th tool" - plate discipline:
Sammy 116 BB's Dawson 44
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
You forgot the 7th tool...steroids
Dawson had more doubles, more triples, more steals, almost as many RBI, and was a much better fielder than Sosa.
Playing well in 1980 was just a little different than playing well in 1998.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
You know that Dawson didn't use steroids?
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
His impact is felt even by today's generation. Watching him play for the Cubs on WGN, All-Star center fielder Torii Hunter credited Dawson with inspiring him to choose baseball over football as a kid in Pine Bluff, Ark.,
''He's the best I've ever seen,'' said former teammate Ryne Sandberg, using his own Hall of Fame speech in 2005 to lobby for Dawson.
That might be the best test of Dawson's Hall candidacy: the eye test...
As Sandberg said, ''No player in baseball history worked harder, suffered more or did it better than Andre Dawson.''
Though I agree that the HoF standards include things other than statistics, the only argument that gets Dawson into the HoF is that the standards should include about 50% "intangibles" which to me is ridiculous. The most that should be is maybe 10%.
There were times when Dawson was a HoF player, but for long stretches of his career he was simply a good ballplayer.
But regardless, there's no need to try to tear down Sammy Sosa to try to justify Dawson's inclusion in the HoF. Nor is there any way to reasonably argue that Dawson was a better player at the peaks of their respective careers. When you're clinging to leadership and ice on knees to justify one player being better than another, you've already lost the argument.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
When Andre Dawson retired, he was:
22nd in Homeruns
24th in RBI
38th in hits
72nd in runs scored
21st in total bases
And 125th in stolen bases in the entire history of baseball
In addition, Dawson is the only player eligible for the HOF that has at least 2,700 hits and 400 homeruns who isn't in the Hall.
During his career, Dawson won:
NL Rookie of the Year (1977)
NL MVP Runner Up (1981, 1983)
8 Gold Glove awards
8 All-Star Team selections
4 Silver Slugger awards
The knocks I have heard on Dawson are that 1) he had a low OBP, and 2) he didn't deserve the MVP award he received in 1987. Dawson's career OBP is relatively low at .323. That can't be argued. But Dawson got tremendous production even while his OBP was low. For instance, in 1978 Dawson's OBP was only .299 for the year. Yet he managed 154 hits and 269 total bases. His OBP fell below .300 again in 1985 to .295, but he managed 135 hits and 235 total bases. Compare that to Milton Bradley who posted an OBP of .436 in Texas in 2008, but managed just 133 hits and 233 total bases. I don't mean to suggest that Bradley is a Hall of Famer or the equivalent of Dawson. I simply wanted to show how productive Dawson was even in years when his OBP was quite low.
As for not deserving the 1987 MVP award, I don't think it really matters. The fact is that he did win it. It's on his resume and it's considered part of his legacy. Plus, with or without the award, his 1987 performance was tremendous, especially for a guy playing on a last place team.
Finally, I don't want to speak for Mike Wellman, but the intangibles I think of with Dawson are not simply "leadership and ice on knees." In baseball, there are certain guys that garner the respect of their peers and the fans more so than other players. They are more feared at the plate, more closely watched on the base paths, and more respected in the field. Dawson was that kind of player.
Sure Dawson was a leader. Other players say he worked harder than anyone else. It's true he had terrible knees which had to constantly be iced and which prevented him from being even greater than he was. But there was something else too. I can't completely quantify it, or even properly name it, but there was a universal respect for Dawson that is extremely rare. That's not the only reason he should be in the Hall, but it should be considered.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
"So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that."
It's sad that you view baseball through the lens of statistics. Mike wrote a nice, personal article on why he likes Dawson and feels he is a hall of famer, focusing specifcially on his intangibles (even going out of his way to bracket the statistics part of the argument at the beginning), and your response is: "There are very few players in the history of baseball who had a five year stretch as good as Sosa's from 1998 to 2002."
Who the fuck cares? It wasn't the point of the piece.
Thanks for sharing Mike (and Cubster with the quotes) those views echo my own on the Hawk.
Happy Holidays.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
What's sad, is your inability to read.
"...Sammy Sosa may have been highly paid for their time in right field at Wrigley, but you can combine the two at their respective bests and still have nothing more than a cheap imitation of Andre Dawson."
Maybe the sentence was too long for you to focus on, but when you hit .324 64 160 despite a league leading 37 IBB's, the only person you may be cheap imitation of is Babe Ruth. Dawson is the cheap imitation in that analogy, not Sosa. Sorry, you are wrong again.
If you say "all around player" where you cap the contribution of the hitting component to compose an "all around game", then the young Dawson was probably the better all-around player. When you look at who had the best season, if a team swaps out the 2001 Sosa with any team Dawson played on, they win four more games with Sosa.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
Loved watching the Hawk play. Loved his intensity, his eyes, his leadership. But I can't see him in the hall. And yes, it's that damn OBP. Joe Posnanski wrote a good article on him a while back, and made mention how OBP isn't just about walks:
3 things struck me from that piece: If elected, Dawson's OBP would be the lowest of any HOF outfielder by 20 points. His average would be the 3rd lowest. And third, this pill: "Dawson got on base less often than the average major leaguer of his time. That's just a very tough thing to overlook."
Tough indeed. Great player, and I won't complain when he's elected (and I think he will be elected). But he wouldn't get my vote.
Re: Will 'The Hawk' Land in Cooperstown?
It kills me that Posnanski feels that way because he is a great writer. But even great writers can be wrong.
Pos claims that he could see voting for Dawson if he had a higher batting average; something in the .295 to .300 range. In order to have a .295 batting average, Dawson would have had to have gotten 7.4 hits per year more than he did. That's just slightly more than one hit per month. Is that really what separates the HOF players from those not worthy to be in the Hall?
I don't mean to suggest that 7.4 hits per year is insignificant. Over the course of Dawson's 21 year MLB career, that would have amounted to 155 additional hits. That's basically an entire season's worth of hits. But what Pos is saying is that he would vote for Dawson if he had 2,928 hits, but he can't with Dawson only having 2,774 hits. That's too fine a line for me, especially considering the other things Dawson achieved in his career.
While he's a great writer, Pos puts too much emphasis on stats, particularly OBP. He seems to throw out everything else when evaluating a player. That's not to say that stats are not important. They are and they shouldn't be ignored, but we're talking about the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Stats. Things other than stats should and do count.

Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....

Let's say asking price is £1,995 but I'm open to sensible offers as the camera is not in use now since buying a Canon C100mk2.
Camera is in London, inspection welcome.
PS I also have a Tecpro Fellini LED Panel light by Dedo (Daylight version) with Case and Compact Stand, Diffusion, Mains adapter.
I'm asking for £550 (CVP price is £825 inc VAT)
Promotional Ad shot with Panasonic GH2
By IronFilm
Just to be very clear... not shot by me!! I wish it was! It looks great.
But I just happened to come across it, and had to share it, as it is a nice example of what can be shot with GH2 in capable hands.

3 camera test
By plochmann
I did a rough test between three cameras: the Nikon D750, Lumix GH2, and Black Magic Pocket Camera. I wanted to see how their videos compared in general. I'm swamped in work, so I couldn't make this as good as I wanted. I literally shot it on lunch break from a day job at an PR firm. However, I think the results are clear and I wanted to share the video and a link to my blog with you guys in hopes that others can learn or give me some good feedback on questions I raise. I'm rusty on the whole shooting thing because I've devoted the last 3 years to teaching and commercial work/writing. It's good to get back into it, and necessary because I have a script I want to shoot next month.
I know some won't be interested in the blog link above, like I'm plugging myself, but there is a lot of insight into the footage, what I was trying to do, and a big piece on lenses and the way they work (like feel) on different cameras.
