Pascoe might have something in common with the late James Brown - competing for the title of "hardest working man in America." The well-built athlete joined the Fresno State program as a quarterback, but quickly found a home as the team's primary offensive weapon after moving to tight end. He did not rest on his receiving laurels, however, as he developed into what head coach Pat Hill calls, "the most devastating blocker we've ever had at his position, ever!"
While he will go down as one of the best players to ever wear a Bulldogs uniform, there was much more to his game than just receptions and blocking. He also excelled on special teams, finishing as the school's career record holder by blocking six kicks.
Still, his football exploits don't tell the full story about McKenna Sean "Bear" Pascoe. Growing up on a ranch, the cowboy is also an award-winning rodeo calf roper. Pascoe was a big, physical quarterback and one of the top all-around athletes in the Valley during his playing days at Granite Hills High School. He was selected the 2003 East Yosemite League Offensive Player of the Year and was named All-Area after guiding his team to a 16-4 record over the last two seasons, including the 2002 East Yosemite League title.
As a senior, Pascoe accounted for 1,851 total yards and 16 touchdowns, generating nearly 3,500 yards and 33 touchdowns over his final two seasons. Not limited to just offense, he was regarded as one of the league's top outside linebackers.
Pascoe added to his prep resume when he was named a first-team All-East Yosemite League basketball player as a junior. He also lettered in track, competing in the EYL Finals in the shot and discus, placing sixth in the Valley championships in the discus as a junior.
In 2004, Pascoe enrolled at Fresno State, spending the season adjusting to tight end from quarterback. He so impressed the coaching staff that he was named Scout Team Player of the Year for his performances in practice. He played in all 13 games, including nine on offense, where he earned three starts in 2005. He pulled down five passes for 34 yards and returned five kickoffs for 27 yards.
As a sophomore, Pascoe took over tight end duties, starting all 12 games. He finished fourth on the team with 22 receptions, gaining 307 yards (14.2 avg) with two scores. He had one kickoff return for 12 yards and registered four tackles, as he blocked kicks in each of the Oregon and New Mexico State clashes.
Despite missing one game and a good portion of another with an ankle sprain, Pascoe became the first Fresno State tight end to receiver first-team All-Conference (Western Athletic) honors. He finished second on the team with a career-high 45 receptions for 553 yards (12.3 avg) and four touchdowns. He blocked two more kicks, knocking down a field goal in each of the Texas A&M and Nevada contests.
Pascoe was named to the John Mackey Award Watch List and again garnered All-WAC first-team honors, even though his ankle problems again saw him sit out one entire game and a part of another. He again ranked second on the squad after hauling down 40 passes, good for 400 yards (10.0 avg) and four touchdowns He added two more blocked kicks to establish a new school record with six blocks for his career.
Positives: Good frame for the position. Good bulk and overall strength as a blocker. Uses his hands and leverage well as a blocker and provides as much effort as a blocker as he does as a receiver. Puts smaller defenders on their back and plays through the whistle. Able to reach linebackers at the second level. Former quarterback who understands where the holes are on the defense. Solid route-running in the short to intermediate zones. Uses his body to shield defenders. Natural hands catcher who can who fight for the ball and can track over his shoulder. Bullish runner who fights for extra yardage.
Negatives: Not an elite athlete in the Kellen Winslow mold. Lacks the straight-line speed to threaten the seam against NFL talent. Takes a few steps to get to top speed. Flashes the ability to make tough receptions with defenders draped over him, but needs to continue to work in this area. Leans forward when blocking, and needs to improve his balance facing stronger defenders. Defensive backs use their quickness to elude him while blocking in the open field.
Compares To: KRIS MANGUM, ex-Carolina -- It is fitting that he is compared to a retired player, as Pascoe is an old school type of tight end, one that does a good job of blocking in-line and is used as a safety valve receiver underneath. He is not the type to threaten the seam and you will find most other tight ends in the draft able to outrace him, but he has the intangibles - a blue collar work ethic, tough as nails and willing to sacrifice himself to make the play.
|Scouting Report
Body Structure: Pascoe has good bulk and a thick frame that can still carry at least another 10 pounds. He has strong upper body development with a thick chest, broad shoulders, tight waist and firm midsection. He has large, yet soft hands, with the power to generate a punishing jolt when attacking defenders as a blocker. He has good lower body thickness, especially in the thighs.
Athletic Ability: Pascoe lacks even adequate timed speed, but compensates with sure hands, great tenacity as a blocker, good hand/eye coordination and above average pass catching skills, if he grabs the ball in stride rather than leap for it. He shows the body control and adjustment and while he will never be sudden or explosive in his movement, he has deceptive quickness and good leg drive to gain positive yardage after the catch. He is a well-coordinated athlete who might be tight-hipped as a runner, but shows good strength and balance in his routes. He does not have the speed to threaten the defenses on deep patterns, but is more comfortable on controlled routes. GRADE: 5.6
Football Sense: Pascoe is a student of the game who adapted quickly to tight end after joining the program as a quarterback. He learns football well and needs just minimal reps to retain. He shows good physicality and desire blocking in-line and does a good job of locating stunts and blitzes. He shows very good field awareness and vision. GRADE: 6.4
Character: Pascoe is a good ole cowboy who could replace the Marlboro Man. He is well-liked by the staff and players, especially for his air of toughness that rubs off on the squad when he is in the game. He comes from a supportive family and has no known off-field issues. His younger cousin, aptly nicknamed "Cub" looks up to Bear as his role model. He is just a great kid from a small town, the type that keeps his teammates loose in the locker room and coaches cite his dependability. GRADE: 7.0
Competitiveness: Pascoe could be the poster child for toughness. He came back and played with ankle problems that should have sidelined him longer over the last two years. He shows up and competes on every snap and loves his role on special teams, an aspect of his game that he could make a nice living doing at the NFL level. He has good toughness for the position, as he does not hold back when he has to get physical going for the ball in a crowd. GRADE: 7.2
Work Habits: Pascoe is a hard worker in all areas, responsible and one that displays intensity in practices and games. He takes to hard coaching well and is very consistent in the ways he goes about preparing for his upcoming opponent. He is an ideal locker room presence. GRADE: 6.5
Release: Pascoe is never going to surprise a defender with explosiveness off the snap and has just marginal timed speed for this position. But, he uses his size and strength to fight through the hold-up. He does not have the quickness to elude but will flash good craftiness at the Xs to create a lane upfield. He has adequate quickness in his release and will get up the field only when he uses his hand punch effectively to avoid reroutes. He is more of a power-through type of runner who lacks nifty change of direction agility, but uses his athletic skills and leg drive to escape. GRADE: 5.2
Acceleration: Pascoe does not have the speed, burst or built up acceleration to threaten the seam. It takes him several steps to get into gear and while he can position his body to make the play, he is never going to be able to run away from the pack and is best on short area routes, where he can use his power to gain some positive yardage to move the chains. He is much more productive in the short range, using his savvy to find holes in the zone. He has the big body and natural hands to catch in a crowd, but just lacks top end speed and separation. He has just enough to get free and catch the ball on underneath routes. He will run over the middle, flex out and drag under with effectiveness, but is a liability when asked to take the ball long distances. GRADE: 4.8
Quickness: Pascoe is generally late off the Xs to get off the ball as a receiver, but shows good urgency as an in-line blocker. He has no burst and marginal acceleration heading upfield. He just lacks quickness, but even with somewhat tight hips he shows good moves to set up and avoid the defender in the short area. He has above average strength to move with the ball and rarely struggles to find it in traffic. His intensity level and strength lets him defeat the jam, using his hands well to jolt. GRADE: 5.1
Route Running: Pascoe is never going to be explosive, quick or sudden, but runs precise routes and gets proper depth. He can gather at the top of the route to get out of his cuts. He is good with delays to set up his routes and gets good depth in flat routes. He can clear through the zone and while he is a little stiff, he has enough change of direction agility to find open spaces. He is just an adequate plant and drive type, but better doing this underneath than on deep patterns. GRADE: 6.3
Separation Ability: Pascoe knows how to lean on defenders and push off, as he is deceptively quick with his stick moves to momentarily freeze defenders and create separation, but once his opponent recovers he is easily caught from behind. When he gets too tall and rounds his breaks, he struggles to gain separation. He does a nice job of settling into soft areas in the zone, but lacks separation speed to pull away from the defense. He is not slow, just lacks pull away speed. He does have a small burst to escape the linebackers after the short catch. GRADE: 5.3
Ball Concentration: Pascoe only has eyes for the football when negotiating through traffic. He has superb concentration and good size to make plays in traffic. He will take a hit and hold on, even with defenders draped on him (recovered the only fumble of his career). He shows above average hand/eye coordination to catch with the defender all over him. He has above average leg strength and maintains his concentration on the ball, looking it in well. GRADE: 6.4
Ball Adjustment: Pascoe can adjust for the low throws, but has marginal timing and leaping ability to get to the throw at its high point. He is best served just positioning his body to make the play rather than elevating and going for the ball. He has rangy hands, but is not athletic enough to adjust to the ball in flight, as he is a little stiff in the hips. He will make a good effort to get to the off-target tosses and shows good reactionary ability, coming back to help the quarterback when the passer is flushed out of the pocket. GRADE: 5.3
Leaping Ability: Pascoe shows marginal vertical leaping ability going for the ball. He will jump and grab for the pass either too early or simply not elevate high enough. If you need someone to win jump ball battles, he is certainly not your type. GRADE: 4.5
Hands: Pascoe has very good hands and catches the ball easily outside his frame. He does not fight the pass and will keep the ball off his body. He has soft hands and is very good with hand placement on the ball. He also delivers a strong hand jolt as a blocker. GRADE: 6.5
Run After the Catch: Pascoe is never going to frighten a defender with his pull-away speed. He takes what the defense gives and is more of a power type of chain mover than one who will just turn, escape and get big yardage after the catch. He has the leg drive to get up the field after the catch and is very difficult to bring down on first contact, but he is not going to run away from too many people. He is a strong runner who can easily break arm tackles and shows enough small burst to get some yardage after the catch. He might outrun a linebacker if he can gain a step, but is not known as a speed burner that can race past safeties in the deep zone. GRADE: 5.4
Blocking Ability: Pascoe is a much better blocker at the Xs than in the second level. He can get out and mirror edge rushers and will lock up and sustain with aggression in the trenches. It is rare to see him get bucked back by the larger defensive linemen on lead blocks from the H-back position, but must do a better job of angling and adjusting working into the second level. He will wall and screen off with movement blocking in-line. He just does not have enough foot speed to get out on the linebacker upfield, where he also needs to show more explosion behind his hits (more of a position blocker). GRADE: 6.9
Special Teams: Pascoe's lack of leaping ability as a pass catcher is puzzling, as he has done a superb job on the coverage units when it comes to blocking kicks. Whether he is more comfortable doing this or not, he is one of the top 10 kick blockers in NCAA history. GRADE: 6.3
Compares To: KRIS MANGUM, ex-Carolina -- It is fitting that he is compared to a retired player, as Pascoe is an old school type of tight end, one that does a good job of blocking in-line and is used as a safety valve receiver underneath. He is not the type to threaten the seam and you will find most other tight ends in the draft able to outrace him, but he has the intangibles - a blue collar work ethic, tough as nails and willing to sacrifice himself to make the play.

Lessons From Pixar President Ed Catmull: Your Ideas Are "Ugly Babies," You Are Their Champion
Geege Schuman stashed this in DARPA
Stashed in: Ideas, Pixar, Pixar
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
The cost of that becomes clear when you think of how a movie starts out. It's a baby. It's like the fetus of a movie star; we all start out ugly. Every one of Pixar's stories starts out that way. A new thing is hard to define; it's not attractive, and it requires protection. When I was a researcher at DARPA, I had protection for what was ill-defined. Every new idea in any field needs protection. Pixar is set up to protect our director's ugly baby.

MIAMI -- Josh Beckett is starting the season the way he finished 2003, which bodes well for the Florida Marlins.
Beckett (2-0) pitched a five-hitter to extend his streak of scoreless innings to 15, and Juan Encarnacion hit his second grand slam of the week to help Florida beat the Washington Nationals 8-0 Sunday.
The complete game was just the second for Beckett since he pitched a five-hit shutout to beat the New York Yankees in Game 6 of the 2003 World Series. That performance capped a brilliant postseason, and he was named World Series MVP.
But an injury-plagued Beckett went just 9-9 last year, and he began this season with a .500 career record (26-26) and a reputation as an underachiever.
"I've seen a tremendous change in the guy," manager Jack McKeon said. "I saw a great work ethic in spring training. I saw a guy that was focused and determined. He has all that potential, and he wants to bring it to the front, and he has been pitching like that."
Beckett walked one, struck out 11 and retired 14 consecutive batters before Jose Vidro doubled with one out in the ninth. The right-hander pitched six shutout innings to win on opening day.
"It's a basic formula I'm using this year -- control the things you can control, and don't worry about anything else," Beckett said. "Right after the last pitch of the game, you start thinking about your next one. If you don't, you'll go out and get shellacked, and I'm back to being a .500 pitcher again, and that's all anybody wants to talk about."
Pinch-hitter Paul Lo Duca broke a scoreless tie with a two-run double in the seventh. Florida added six runs in the eighth, capped by Encarnacion's third career slam. He also hit one in the Marlins' opener.
Beckett's performance lowered the Marlins' ERA to 1.07, and all three of their victories have been shutouts. They're just 3-3 despite outscoring opponents 31-9.
Until the seventh, Beckett was locked in a scoreless duel with John Patterson (0-1), who was given the start when Tony Armas Jr. went on the disabled list with a pulled groin.
Patterson retired 11 in a row before Carlos Delgado led off the seventh with a single, and Encarnacion walked. Lo Duca, who had been given the day off, came off the bench with two out and hit a liner into the opposite-field corner to score both runners.
"I hit it in the right spot," Lo Duca said. "In that situation you can't try to do too much."
Lo Duca came up inches short of a game-winning home run in the ninth inning of Florida's loss to Washington on Saturday.
Miguel Cabrera singled home a run in the eighth, and after Delgado was intentionally walked with runners at first and third, Mike Lowell also hit an RBI single. Encarnacion followed with his homer, which earned him a curtain call for the second time this week from a crowd of 25,089.
He also earned some ribbing from teammates.
"They said, `Leave some people on base for the other guys,"' he said.
Patterson was charged with two runs in seven innings.
"He couldn't do any more than he did," Nationals manager Frank Robinson said. "We just couldn't do anything with Mr. Beckett, so it didn't matter what John did."
Beckett threw 110 pitches, 78 for strikes. He frequently hit 95 mph on the scoreboard speed gun and retired the leadoff batter in every inning.
"He was spotting his fastball and throwing a nasty breaking pitch in the dirt, and guys were fishing," Matt Treanor said after catching Beckett for the first time since both were in Double-A. "He was throwing all three of his pitches and locating with all of them. You couldn't play Nintendo better."
- Florida's Juan Pierre was back in the lineup after his streak of 1,700 consecutive innings ended Saturday. He has played in 341 consecutive games.
- In the first week of the season, the Nationals hit two extra-inning homers. The Expos hit three all of last year.

Peter Kendall at the NFU says supermarkets need to do more to "back British lamb"
NewsThursday 03 October 2013
The NFU has praised Aldi, Budgens and Morrisons for their work in ensuring that they have 100% British lamb on their shelves. However, the Union went on to express that it is disappointed with the fact that the proportion on sale in Tesco in August was as low as 55%.
The latest figures to be released by EBLEX have shown that M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury's all ensured that at least 85% of the lamb on their shelves carried a British label.
Peter Kendall, the NFU President, commented on these findings, saying that more needed to be done, especially by Tesco.
"In July, I called upon all retailers to celebrate British lamb as 'best in season', putting it front and centre of their displays and really getting behind our sheep farmers," he said.
"It's great that most appear to be taking that message on board, including Tesco, which has invested in national advertising of UK lamb. However, the results of this survey show there is still an enormous amount of work to do within Tesco to increase their British sourcing.
"It is now seven months since Philip Clarke made bold promises to increase their British sourcing at the NFU Conference, and many hard working sheep farmers will be asking serious questions about whether this was a genuine commitment.
"While we are confident that Tesco is working on plans for the future, it is concerning that their promises to UK agriculture don't seem to be reflected in current commercial buying behaviour. These figures suggest they are clearly buying less UK lamb than last year, showing that between January and August there has been a 10% drop in the amount of British labels in the Tesco lamb chillers.
"We believe that all parts of the supply chain must work together to ensure a stronger British sheep industry and we know there is scope to increase British sourcing and get more British lamb on more British plates.
"We will continue to hold retailers and other parts of the supply chain to account on both their sourcing and their communications."
"Many sheep farmers are still rebuilding businesses following the difficult market conditions last year and confidence is fragile, reflected in the low prices for breeding stock seen this year.
"Farmers are relying on strong autumn sales to restore balance sheets and the global supply situation is forecast to remain tight. Every ingredient is there for a successful season and it's now imperative that agriculture's biggest customers are all fully behind British lamb."

Will WWE Fix Their Network In Time?
For this match simulation of Dusty Rhodes versus Triple H, we'll assume both men are inside their prime. Although he started his wrestling career on the independent circuit, I will follow his time as a WWE wrestler, within this type of mini biography, since which is where he gained his fame. For the American Dream, that might be anywhere from 1979-1986, depending on which team you talk to. The event was produced in 1988 using the inaugural event held on January 24, 1988 at the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario.

Not-Your-Kids' Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I'll be honest, I had to ask someone the other day about persimmons: Are they a fruit or a vegetable? Looking at them, it's not so obvious; but I soon discovered that they are actually, in terms of botanical morphology, berries. How cool is that?
And since organic persimmons are arriving in Full Circle deliveries this time of year, I went searching for a recipe that highlights the flavor of these wonderful, seasonal fruit. Because fully-ripened persimmons have a mildly sweet taste and soft texture, they're perfect on this more refined version of the all-American classic grilled cheese sandwich.
Fun fact: In Korean folklore, dried persimmon have a reputation for scaring away tigers.
- 4 slices organic whole wheat seeded bread
- 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 organic Fuyu persimmon, thinly sliced
- 2 small handfuls fresh, organic arugula
- 2 - 4 oz organic Brie cheese
- 1 tbsp organic butter, for grilling
- Spread the mustard on each slice of bread.
- Layer two slices of persimmon and a small handful of arugula onto two slices.
- Spread Brie onto the other two (mustard-covered) bread pieces.
- Sandwich the two parts together.
- Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat and carefully place the sandwiches in the pan, Brie side down. Grill until the cheese is melted and bread is toasted to a golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Flip sandwiches and cook until golden.
- Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.
Recipe adapted from Joy the Baker.

A Huge Ocean...
And it's cold. Oh so cold.
You can smell the sea salt and the breeze whips against your face; something bound to make your skin brittle later on.
And the ocean seems to go on and on and never end. All you can see is a deep blue blanket as water as far as the eye can see, with white peaks moving in a sequence, rocking with the tides.
It's beautiful, really.
But you're still cold. You hadn't thought far enough ahead to bring a jacket. Or a hat. Or even mittens.
So you scan the beach behind you, stepping away from the water's edge.There is a dilapidated little shack on one end of the beach that does not look all too inviting, and a small rickety-looking boat is propped against the door.

"In everything I do, I play to win, and I speak the truth, and people are either going to love me or they hate me." – Hope Solo
U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Hope Solo has become as polarizing figure as there is in the women's game. Her talent on the field as arguably the premiere goalkeeper in the world is unquestionable, but her actions off the field have taken some of the attention from her success and accomplishments.
In an interview for ESPN's TV show E:60, Solo, who just released a tell-all book, dishes on everything from Greg Ryan's controversial decision to bench her in the semifinals of the 2007 Women's World Cup, her celebrity experiences off the field, her conflict with former USWNT standout and current TV analyst Brandi Chastain during this summer's Olympics to her success on the field. Give the interview a watch and let us know what you think about what Solo has to say in the comments section below. Enjoy:
Again though, her initial twitter posts weren't about Chastain's commentary, it was a personal shot at her ability to play and knowledge of the game, something along the lines of "Wish we had a commentator who understood the game" or some crap.
Can you imagine if Lebron James said that about someone like Issaih Thomas or Karl Malone?
Precisely what? He quoted a movie and didn't provide any factual basis or argument. You calling people women-haters is just as extreme and absurd as Solo's defacing of several people for her own benefit.
Note that all of her silly stories (the Ryan snub, dancing teacher, and her friend saying that comment about her dad) are closed door and in every scenario the opposing party has 100% denied what she has said.
She's just exaggerating stupid stories for no reason at all. In the real world we call people like that attention whores or drama queens.
I disagre with Hope's comments about Chastain and I disagree with you.
I think Cahstain was doing her job when she mentioned RB's defense. I would categorize the comments as "mildly critical" at best.
Chastain is not my favorite commentator by any stretch of the imagination but I've never considered her "garbage".
I also disagree with you marginlization of Chastain after the 99 WWC. She's done a lot to try and grow the sport in the US.
Solo looked like a clown when she suggested that Chastain had no idea of what she was talking about–it hasn't been that long–not that many things have changed. It's not like we're talking about the NFL and Chastain played back in the days that guys wore leather helmets.
I did like the way that Solo was supporting RB–I'm sure I'm not alone when I suggest that the two already had a lot of beef going back for several years and Chastains criticism of RB was an opporunity for her to take a swipe back at Chastain, especially for her comment after Solo failed the test.
Where I agree with you is that I prefer Foudy. I also wonder if there is a feeling on the part of networks that there has to be a women on the set doing commentary when the USWNT plays. Those are the two points that resonate with me. I'm not sure if the latter is about marketing or a sense of obligation in including a woman because it is a womens sporting event.
I'm not going to say that giving his opionion makes LD a bad guy but when guys like Terrell Owens or Jose Canseco or Jeremy Shockey do it, they get lit up by industry types, guys on sportalk radio and the internet. They're just speaking their own version of the "truth".
Hope gets lit up when people take exception to a lot of her comments.
Personally, I'd actually argue that's "progress" as opposed to suggesting that there is some sort of gender-based double standard.
elgringorico, I think you misunderstood. I agree with you.
I said "precisely" in reference to Reid's comments, because I assumed that Reid's quote was directed at Solo. Now that I look at it, I can see where one would think his comment was directed at another commenter in this thread. Either way, I think the comment applies to Solo quite well, and I think I have agree with just about everything you have said in this thread.
yeah my bad I thought you were Tyler calling me a woman-hater again. Mixed up my T names.
She's the best goalkeeper I've seen in the woman's game and it's not even close. I wouldn't presume to know someone based on their public persona and really don't care…… I'll leave judgments about "what kind of person she is" to people who know her. The only relevant thing is that my relationship to her is watching her play soccer, and that is a joy.
that might be so…but it's not like the national team is lacking sexy women.
That is so not true. If Lebron made those same comments about Magic Johnson as an announcer, you don't think people would be talking about that? Of course they would.
I don't really see where gender plays a role in the above statement. I just don't.
Aren't high profile people (regarless of gender) with strong opinions who are outspoken usually considered to be polarizing???
If some of the outspoken athletes I referred to earlier previously were women, they'd still be lightning rods for discussion/debate.
Hope's profile is a testament to sports and popular culture. Fifteen years ago, I don't think that there would have been more than 10 comments posted here. I think that demonstrates more men being interested enough and aware enough to take the time to discuss her.
Carl Nostrand
Go Hope! She is a leader in the sports world, not just the mans world any more thanks to brave women like Hope Solo.
Stay in the present is her message and a dame good one!!!
I haven't read the book but don't need too. I understand exactly were Hope Solo is comming from. You go girl!
She is not turning on the team as much as the media is turning up a story. A story that has yet to be played out for the world to see. One that the media and whitty critics can have a say.
A soccer story from America….. This is the real news.
I think Hope Solo is world class on the feild, and still pollishing of the field.
We need goilies in America. Better yet we need training pitches that are safe and comfortale for all of our youth male and female to learn how to dive, fly, and extent at the perfect time.
When all of our youth players (M&F) become balanced and centered enough to flow with the presure of being in goal, ready and able to take one for the team, thats when we can expect to reach Hope Solo's goal.
I like hearing about Hope Solo future and look forward to the book.
Wu li wa
To elaborate on what Tim added to the discussion.
When Kobe was asked about if this years Oympic team matched up with the Dream Team the chatter afterwards had nothing to do with beacuse Kobe and Jordan are dudes.
It was a generetional debate that was fueld by the legendary status that '92 team had.
Maybe you didn't notice because you might not care about Hoops but that story was buzzing on sports media outlets and people were arguing about it for days. It was a bit silly but it still got a lot of play–because of the generational thing–not the gender thing.
Just because Kobe said that this year's team could beat the '92 squad. He wasn't even peacocking. He just answered a reporter's question…
Your not blaming the media for some of Hope's controversies, are you?
I just want to be sure that I understand correctly the comments about the media.
Hope is marketing Hope–I don't have problem with that. That's how the game works.
The one point that I can agree with you on is that this story isn't written yet. There are a lot of chapters to be written.
Hopefully Solo will have a fantastic and long career. I look forward to watching it as it plays out.
I'm there. If she were a guy, she wouldn't even raise an eyebrow with her behavior. Goalkeepers are flakes after all.
I'm glad Jeremy Schaap went ahead and told me it was Cat Whitehill who made the comment about Solo exploiting her father's death. Now I don't have to read the book now, since the suspense was killing me.
Regarding Chastain's comments about Beuhler, I thought they were very mild and not that critical, and Solo was way out of line calling her on it. I'm not a fan of Chastain's commentary, but Beuhler is an average-to-below-average center back for the international game who is extremely limited athletically and lacks technical ability that should be required at that level. If you watch USWNT games, many of the defensive breakdowns occur because of RB. That's what Chastain should have said, and would have possibly justified Solo backing her teammate, but instead she took a chance to gain publicity over rather vanilla comments.
the greatest travesty of this entire interview? that jeremy schaap was the interviewer. i know this story goes beyond soccer, but i can't bear to watch an interview led by someone who doesn't regularly cover soccer.
Considering almost none of the coverage she gets is soccer related, I suppose its appropriate.
One of my hard and fast soccer rules is:
1. Goal keepers are always at least a little off in the head.
My 2nd rule is:
2. A good goal keeper is worth a little crazy…a great keeper is worth a whole lot of crazy.
Not all dance teachers teach like that. Every pupil is different. A good teacher usually figures out beforehand what is acceptable and what is not. DWTS operates in a fairly compressed time frame so who knows how it all went down. Given what I have seen of such teachers, if you think Solo's teacher/partner wasn't at least as big an ego maniac as she is, you obviously have never had any lessons from a top pro. Put two such people together and sometimes you get explosions.
Objectively Solo is a pro athlete with a limited amount of time to carve out a career for herself before the spotlight leaves. Her sport is currently on life support in this country and even if it wasn't it would pay pretty paltry wages in a comparative sense.
Only a few of the USWNT women have Solo's combination of looks, personality and athletic ability that give her the chance to develop an alternative career doing something else. She is just getting a head start on it. Look at where it got Michael Strahan.
Given the expectations and demands this society lays on sports heroes/icons whatever you call them and the speed and ferocity with which we are willing to tear them to little pieces should they falter , I have zero problem with Solo using her entire arsenal to carve out a living for herself.
Looking out for #1 is an American tradition and Solo is good at that. She may not be what the sport needs or wants but she is what the sport deserves.
Who cares? Ryan does. That is why he came out with a strong denial.
I don't know if you work in the USA. If you do and if that is truly your attitude towards physical contact between colleagues in the workplace, then you are a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Go to your workplace and just try acting like Ryan allegedly did with a female colleague that you maybe don't really get along with and see what happens.
In this country, regardless of gender, touching a colleague at work in any manner but particularly one where there is room for misinterpretation ( two people alone, different genders ) is a bad idea.
If this did happen Ryan was an idiot to ever be alone with Solo.
As I recall 99'ers like Lilly were the people behind Solo's shunning trauma. I remember following it at the time thinking that Solo was being treated with exquisite and exceptional cruelty. Boy they sure showed her didn't they?
Why are you surprised that she has no great love for them?
I watched the game that lead to the Twitter controversy. IMHO, Brandi is a poor commentator and was not up to speed on Team USA details. Her general criticism of the defense included the lack of communication across the back line. She then opined that the line players should not be shifted about from game to game by the coach. Uhh, Brandi, you could have checked the injury reports before commenting. Her comments were generally unfocused, rambling and annoying. I could not fathom why Brandi was on the broadcast, and that was before Hope created the controversy. Based on the broadcast, I'm inclined to give Hope the benefit of the doubt for defending her team and coach. Having said that, I agree that Hope is a drama queen.
For most of the sports world Brandi's lasting claim to fame is as "the girl who took of her shirt".
Had she not been fortunate enough to take and make that winning penalty leading to her iconic moment (tell me there is a more iconic image of the USWNT?)would anyone even remember her?
If Sara Whalen,Joy Fawcett, or Karla Overbeck had taken that penalty and then taken off their shirts, maybe they would as revered as Brandi. I would argue they
were as good if not better players.
Chastain is just like Solo in her desire to exploit her looks and celebrity. Solo just happens to be a little better at it and she is the new hot girl on the scene.
Thinking Hope Solo is a self-involved, publicity-seeking annoyance does not make someone a misogynist. That's just what she comes off as to a lot of people and that's her mostly her own fault.
Just like Terrell Owens, Rob Gronkowski, etc.
Agreed. And also, thinking Hope Solo is a self-involved, publicity-seeking annoyance does not make anyone a misogynist. That's just what she comes off as to a lot of people and that's her mostly her own fault.
Just like Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Rob Gronkowski and dozens (or hundreds) of other male athletes.
Just because you know the game it doesn't mean your commentary will convince anyone that you do.
I guess you've never heard a former player serving as a commentator who sounded as if he was a complete idiot ( of course, I could not possibly be talking about Alexi or Taylor or Eric or Harksie).
Somewhere, deep down, I know those guys know more about the game than I ever will but if going by their commentary, I have a hard time believing it.
Why do you assume she is the one exaggerating?
It seems like nothing can be proved either way so it's 50/50.
See the Dutch Women's field hockey Olympic team.
I have never seen a defense so incapable of simply clearing a ball. It is also an immobile defense.
Without Abby, Alex, Blondie and Solo this team is unexceptional.
Why in the world does this debate keep happening? I mean why does anybody given a damn?
Solo does a fantastic job keeping the ball out of the net. She was strangely benched and we got trounced; she was put back in and we won 2 Olympic golds and nearly a WC in between. As Dizzy Dean said, "It ain't braggin' if you do it."
And by the way, that's her job to do, not be a wonderfully affable public figure. She has the chance to capitalize on her fame and go on DWTS or do interviews and promote a book, more power to her. Nobody rational fan can begrudge any female soccer athlete or world class caliber that, given the piss-poor situation society is giving such women in their chosen profession, especially as compared to the mountains of money awaiting even many of their less stellar male counterparts
If you don't like her or don't want to watch her dance or read her book or listen to her comments, just don't.
You summed it up so perfectly.
People like T.O., Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson, Gronkowski, and Solo can get away with running their mouth. Look at their careers. T.O. is 2nd all-time in receiving, Johnson holds all Bengals receiving records, Gronkowki holds all single-season TE records. And Solo is a multi-time Gold Medalist.
Speak about the steroids, then you will be speaking the truth
Joy Fawcett and Karla Overbeck were MUCH better players than Chastain.
I think Hope Solo is right about Women's soccer changing from 1999. In 1999, women's soccer would put me to sleep in five seconds. In 2012, it takes six seconds. By the way, I think it is wonderful that are colleges are spending millions of dollars on women's soccer programs while cutting the budgets for the Computer Science, campus police, building maintenance, janitor staff, and health center staff. God Bless Title IX, women's sports are the key to beating China and India in the world economy. Thank you feminist!!!!

DECEMBER 29, 1969 Weather Tonight Fair, Cold Tuesday Pric. TEN CENTS U.S. Envoy, Wife Attacked Manila Police Protect Agnew From Leftists twlj-i.: Horsepower in Vermont Robert Lane of East Montpelier, Vt, used his mare to pull his truck out from under snow drifts on his snow-bound farm. His son, Teddy, leads the horse. The storm dumped nearly 50 inches of snow on parts of Vermont and left the state an official disaster area. (AP Wirephoto) France Wants Israel To Explain Gunboats By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Foreign Minister Maur- ice Schumann of France has demanded an explan- ation from Israel of how five gunboats slipped out of Cherbourg despite an arms embargo, official French sources said today. Head For Israel The gunboats, built for Israel before the French embargoed arms to Israel Jan 1, were reported moving through (he eastern Mediterranean toward Israel, almost within range of Egyptian planes. They slipped out of Cherbourg in the early morning darkness Christmas Day. The sources said Schumann made his demand Sunday at a 15-minute meeting with Eytan Ron, the Israeli charge d'affaires. The sources added that Ron told Schumann he had no instructions and would con- sult his government immediate- ly. Reports from Sicily said a flurry of Israeli radio messages indicated an Israeli flotilla had passed the island. Maritime sources said the intercepted messages gave no positive con- firmation that the Israeli ves- sels were escorting the gun- Mayor Calls New Board For Meeting The new Board of Aldermen which will take office Thursday, New Year's Day, has been called into informal session tonight at 7 by Mayor Dennis J. Sullivan. Sullivan said the purpose of the meeting, which will be held in the aldermanic chamber at City Hall, is to discuss board pro- cedures and related subjects. The aldermen-e'ect, he said, have also been invited to attend tonight's finance committee meet- Ing at to become acquainted with the function of that group. Insurance awards will be con- sidered by the committee tonight. It will meet again tomorrow night at to approve final expendi- tures preparatory to the closing of municipal accounts for 1969 on Dec. 31. boats, but they indicated some- thing unusual was going on. Officials in the French port of Cherbourg, where the gunboats were built, estimated 'that with one refueling at sea, the 40-knot boats could reach the Israeli port of Haifa sometime today. The 270-ton gunboats are 147 feet long. British navy sources said three ships of the Soviet Medi- terranean fleet were lying off Malta, close enough to sea lanes between Sicily and Israel to monitor any Israeli ship move- ments. Another 15 Russian war- ships were reported in Egyptian waters. The Israeli government main- tained silence on the gunboat in- cident, and a Defense Ministry spokesman said: "We never talk about 'this subject." The U.S. 6th Fleet and spokesmen in Naples for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization also re- fused to answer any questions about the gunboats, but it was assumed that the 6th Fleet was tracking them. European diplomats had vary- ing opinions on the likely im- pact of the vessels' arrival in Is- rael. French relations with Is- rael could hardly be worse so they are not likely to be much affected. Some diplomats thought there might be damage to France's campaign to woo the Arabs; others thought that because of the secret way the gunboats squeezed through the French embargo on arms sales to Israel, the Arabs would not make a fuss. The French Defense Ministry insisted over the weekend that the gunboats had been sold to a Norwegian company as un- armed transport boats for off- shore oil rigs. A film of the boats taken in Cherbourg, how- ever, showed a cannon mounted On at least one. Norwegian shipping executive Ole Martin Siem said he repre- sented the company, Starboat Oil Co. of Panama, and that it had taken over "five fast-going motorboats" in Cherbourg some time ago. But he refused to say whether the firm had Israeli connection! or who its owners were. A spokesman for the Norwe- gian Foreign Ministry said the French announcement that the boats had been sold to Norwe- gians was apparently made to cover up the real buyers. It said no license had been granted for import of the boats into Nor- FRANCE DEMANDS Page 2 By T. JEFF WILLIAMS MANILA American demonstra- tors attacked a limousine carrying U. S. Ambassador Henry Byroade and his wife tonight, but riot police kept them away when Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and -his wife arrived a short while later for a re- ception at the U. S. .Em- bassy. Reaches Compound Several hundred riot police drove the crowd of more than 100 young leftists across the road from the embassy com- pound. The demonstrators chanted "Yankee Go and marched up and down as the Agnews' car drove into the compound with some 29 Secret Service agents running along- side. Booing and shouting, the dem- onstrators surrounded Byr- cade's car and banged on it with their signs and fists. Several demonstrators jumped in front of the car, bringing it to a halt. More than 200 helmeted police forced the demonstrators back and at least two tear gas gre- nades were thrown. The car drove into the embassy com- pound. The demonstrators handed out a leaflet saying they were mem- bers of the Free Philippine Youth Union and the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, which is one of the more vocal opponents of U.S. policy in Viet nam. Agnew arrived in Manila dur- ing the afternoon and told wel- comers at the airport that the United States and the Philip- pines "stand together on the threshold of a new decade which holds challenge as well as brings promise for both of our na- tions." Agnew brought greetings from President Nixon and a pre- diction that the 1970s "will see us reach a new mutual friend- ship which does honor to two great sovereign nations." He stressed partnership be- tween the two longtime friends in brief remarks at Manila In- ternational Airport. The Philip- pines is the first of 10 Asian countries Agnew is scheduled to visit during the next three weeks. Along with his wife, Judy, Ag- new's party of 40 included Apol- lo 10 astronaut Eugene A. Cer- nan, who will present President Ferdinand Marcos with pieces of moon rock and pictures of the Philippines taken from space. Praises Philippines Agnew said that since this is his first trip to Asia, "I am not in a position to make pronounce- ments on this part of the world." But he praised the Phil- ippines for its development of representative government, free speech, free press and public education. The vice president arrived amid a revival of the furor over American aid to Philippine troops in Vietnam. Filipino Sen. Salvador H. Lau- rel, just back from a trip to Washington, said Sen, J. Wil- liam Fuibright, D-Ark. Was cor- rect in implying that the Philippine noncombat troops sent to Vietnam were virtually "mercenaries" because the United States allegedly paid million for their services. Defense Secretary Ernesto S. Mata accused Laurel of "an in- sult of the highest caliber on his own people." The last of the Philippine troops came home last month. The charges by Fuibright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and their implications for President Nix- on's new "Asia doctrine" of let- ting the Asians fight their own wars with American equipment are likely to come up for discus- sion when Agnew talks with President Ferdinand E. Marcos during his three-day visit. Agnew was threatened with anti-American demonstrations by radical student and labor groups opposing U.S. policy in Vietnam. The U.S. Embassy was heavily guarded by police, and a wide area around the em- bassy entrance was roped off. The Manila Chronicle report- ed that an antiriot force of 600 police and troops had been as- sembled for duty during the vice president's visit. He is rep- resenting the United States at the second inauguration of Mar- cos on Tuesday. Agnew told newsmen aboard his plane as they crossed the Pacific that the Nixon adminis- tration will not pressure South POLICE PROTECT Page!

By STRATTON L. DOUTHAT HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) Evangelist Billy Graham says he often attends love-ins and rock festivals incognito so he can get a true picture of what's going on among today's young people. "I sometimes put on a false moustache and a he told newsmen Sunday after ad- dressing some young peo- ple at the Miami-Hollywood Rock Festival. Graham, invited to speak by ;he festival promoter, said he 'ound the experience refreshing. "This is the way Jesus did le said. "He went to where the people were." Graham spoke for about 20 minutes Sunday and got a mixed reaction. The boys and girls sat on blankets in a muddy, straw- strewn field. Some listened in- tently as Graham urged them to "drop out of your present lives and turn on to the power of God." A few jeered and shouted obscenities, some talked quietly among themselves and a good number slept, exhausted by events the previous night when the last musical group quit at 4 a.m. "I came prepared to be shout- ed Graham told news- men, "but I was amazed at the polite way I was treated." Graham received scattered applause when he mounted the makeshift stage. He got a larger hand when he finished speaking. "I think this is a generation of tremendous young he said. "Many of them are deeply religious you can find it in BILLY GRAHAM some of the music if you listen hard enough." He said he would continue to attend large gatherings of youths to spread the Gospel.

McDANIEL BOSTON (AP) Concern over the condition of the envi- ronment may soon replace the Vietnam War and civil rights as something to worry about, says Dr. Leo Marx. But Marx, an Amherst Col- lege professor of English and American institutions, cautioned that publicity and public con- cern about the environment should not be confused with real changes to make it better. Concern May Top Viet War, Civil Rights Stresses Condition of Environment In an address to the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science Sunday, Marx criticized some aspects of the conservation movement, saying it has been associated with the privileged and has had "over- tones of philanthropy." "To many he said, "a conservationist is a fel- low with enough time and mon- ey to enjoy outdoor life, camp- ing, bird watching or mountain climbing. "To others, conservationist 5% DAILY INTEREST COMPOUNDED QUARTERLY ON 90 DAY NOTICE ACCOUNTS AT NASHUA TRUST COMPANY ARTISTS GIFT SETS SUPPLIES Christmas Special 10 to 20% off Nashua Wallpaper Co. W. Peart St. 8B-M91 Mon. thru Sat, means some sort of crank re- former, hippie, nature freak, or just a rich man eager to protect the sanctity of his rustic re- treat." Until recently, Marx said, "the .problems of conservation seldom have been made to seem pertinent to the welfare of the poor, the nonwhite population, or most Americans who live in cities." The conservation movement has1 been characterized by "a certain innocence, above all an excessive trust.in rational per- suasion as a political method." he said. The destruction of natural re- sources and wildlife has result- ed, he said, from the profit making activities of individuals and corporations. The American business sys- tem has placed a high premium upon ingenious ways of over- coming the environment, Marx said, and has minimized "any constraints that might follow from an awareness of the long term ecological welfare of the society as a whole." Ecology is the study of living things in relation to their envi- ronment or to each other. Whether they like it or not, Marx said, ecologists "are going to find themselves in- volved in politics." "If environmental problems are going to yield any solutions it will be necessary for lead- ers of the movement to know where the power lies and how to confront Marx said.

Official Raps Blackouts CONCORD, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission Chairman Francis Riordan (oday demanded ex- planations from the state's pow- er companies for the wide- spread power blackouts during the holiday slorms. Riordan said the utilities have been asked to submit written reports on the failures as soon as possible and "depending on those reports, we might call them in for a talk." The holiday storms, he said, "were not the type commonly expected but other factors such as (the availability) of repair crews, equipment and franchise locations are matters that should be re-evaluated in an ef- fort to improve the integrity of service." The storms knocked out pow- er in many areas of the state, especially rural communities and smaller towns. Riordan said he has not yet compiled a list of where and how long the outages lasted. He said the utilities, of which there are about a dozen in the state, "would be called upon to explain to the commiwldn reasons for the outagei MM! what measures the compmta taking to minlmlw recur- rences."

"I liked that Bama boy a lot," Jackson said. "I had a great time out there, loved the competition, it was the best of the best and it was exactly what I thought it would be.
"Overall, I was happy with my performance, I thought I did well. Our team won, we had some great players and coaches and it was a just a fun overall experience, the whole trip was great for me."
On the recruiting front, Jackson committed last May to Auburn and is still very solid with Tigers. The big tight end did say he would like to check out a couple of schools for official visits.
"I'm solid with Auburn but I want to visit UCLA and Florida State," Jackson said. "UCLA is a good program, Eddie Printz is committed there and we're friends and I've never really been out to the West Coast before except when I was in Oregon for The Opening.
"Florida State always has a great program, where I'm from, everyone is always interested in the Noles. I'm still going to Auburn though, Tiger fans have nothing to worry about, that's my school and I'm excited to be a Tiger."
Jackson listed several reasons why he committed early to Auburn.
"I just had the best time there, I got that special feeling on campus," Jackson said. "I love the program and the coaching staff. They got a new OC and they plan to use the tight end a lot. I just think overall, it was the best fit for me, not just football wise but academically, socially, in all areas."

What a fantastic little fic you've got here! I can't tell you how much I adored it. Being very new to the whole 'Wicked' scene, this was the perfect little piece of angst I was looking for to get lost in on an early Saturday evening.
The romance between the two was written perfectly. It's not exactly overt, and yet, it completely is. That might seem nonsensical, but how else would you describe the love that those kids share? It's totally illogical, which makes it that much more beautiful. Wouldn't you agree?
Anyhoo, thank you for sharing!
