Jets plan to feed off fans, improve on middling home record
It's not any one chant or singular moment Mark Stuart remembers most. Not the fans belting out "True North!" during the national anthem, the mocking serenade of "Crosby's better!" aimed at Alex Ovechkin or "Silver medal!" fired at Buffalo Sabres and USA Olympian goaltender Ryan Miller.
All that can become a permanent deposit in a man's memory bank, no doubt.
But what really jumped out for the veteran Winnipeg Jets defenceman during that first season of home games at the MTS Centre was the buzz, that absolute rush, he felt when he pulled on his jersey, buckled up his chinstrap and walked down the tunnel to the ice.
And on many nights during the that 2011-12 season, that buzz wasn't dialed down until well after the final horn.
"It's the excitement, first and foremost. That's what sticks for me," said Stuart on Friday, not long after the Jets had completed final preparations for their 2013 debut against the Ottawa Senators. "As soon as you get out there for the warm-up you can feel the energy in the building. Any time you are at home and you get that kind of energy, you can feed off it. It has to help you. It helped us out big-time last year.
"There's points in a game where you need that extra boost sometimes -- you're up by a goal and you're pinned down in your own end, the goalie makes a big save and the crowd goes nuts. That's huge."
That was then, as they say, this is now. And if the Jets are going to build on the reputation that their barn -- the smallest in the NHL -- is a road-trip nightmare for opponents, then it has to continue into the condensed 48-game schedule that is the 2013 regular season and beyond into the playoffs.
In one season the MTS Centre, always packed with 15,004 fanatics, was dubbed one of the NHL's loudest and the Jets fed from that, finishing with a 23-13-5 home record. But for as solid as the Jets were at home, their record was just 15th overall -- middle of the pack.
Remember, too, that this team crashed and burned down the stretch of the '11-12 campaign, dropping its final four at home. And the start wasn't exactly memorable either, as the Jets were just 5-4 at home through November 2011.
Still, it was during the stretch in between -- an 18-5-5 run at home between Dec. 1 and March 16 -- when the joint was regularly jumping. And that's what this edition of the Jets wants to re-create night in, night out, this season.
"Our home record speaks for itself. We're pretty confident in that," said Evander Kane. "If you look at the end of our schedule, even though I don't like to look too far ahead, we play seven of our last nine games at home so if we can give ourselves a chance for the first 30 games of the season, coming into those last 10 games, we're feeling pretty confident.
"(Saturday's) Game 1 and it's going to be very important to start off with a win."
Understandably, the Jets' horrible road record last year -- a 14-22-5 mark that was 27th overall -- became one of the team's obvious flaws often discussed in the season-ending autopsies.
But with room to grow at home as well, the Jets see an obvious route to a post-season berth.
The carrot dangling in front of them? Just imagine what the MTS Centre might be like for a meaningful game in late April.
"You can't really explain what it's like for a game here," said Chris Thorburn. "I just say, you have to come to a game. It's crazy. The atmosphere is something that you just can't explain.
"My best buddy back home, my friends, even my family, they ask me about it, they want to know what it's like. You can maybe get a feel for it on TV, but unless you're in the stands, taking part in all the chants, you're not experiencing it. I tell them if you have a chance to do it, it's definitely something they should check out.
"And it's something we want to continue this year."

Knott: Time for Wizards to return
So the Wizards are set to resume the 2007 season. That is when they were last whole. That is when they defeated the Pistons twice in a four-day span in late January and ascended to the top spot in the Eastern Conference. That is when defeating the Pistons on the road indicated a shift in power.
Flip Saunders was on the sideline with the Pistons then, and Eddie Jordan was en route to becoming the coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
It all fell apart right then because of injuries, and the Wizards have been wondering ever since then what might have been. Was that their moment? Was that their window? Is that time forever gone, overtaken by the changing dynamics of the conference and the aging process?
That is what this season will determine.
Ernie Grunfeld has elected to stay with the trio of Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, betting that they have a championship push in them.
He has put solid pieces around them. He has hired Saunders and his postseason portfolio. He has held steady while the upper echelon of the conference has improved significantly in the form of the Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic.
Saunders is thinking 50 wins. Brendan Haywood is thinking the Wizards are no worse than the fourth-best team in the conference going into the season. The team's long-suffering supporters are thinking that this is it, the put-up-or-shut-up season.
No more angst. No more wallowing in injuries. No more talk of being young.
The latter is hardly accurate anyway. Jamison is 33, Butler and Haywood 29.
If the Wizards are unable to make a deep push in the playoffs this season, then it is never going to happen with this group. Then this group will be eternally stuck in 2007, when, for a fleeting period, anything seemed possible.
This is the burden before the Wizards.
A 41-41 season and a one-and-done playoff series just won't suffice.
Too much emotion has been spent on this group. Too much disappointment has come to this group.
Saunders recognizes the all-or-nothing challenge before the Wizards. He eschews the customary talking points, if only momentarily, and feeds the expectations.
"I don't think there is any reason why we shouldn't be able to compete with the elite teams," Saunders said Tuesday.

It's time to vote for your favorite names for one of Beauty and Dot.ca's Eyases!
The polls are open! We received 90 wonderful name suggestions. The Rochester Falconcam's Naming Committee evaluated all submissions and pared them down to 11 names in each of the three categories: male, female, and gender-neutral. (The committee had planned to narrow them down to 5 in each category, but there were just too many great suggestions!) Thank you to everyone who submitted names.
Three polls have been created for members of the Rfalconcam Forum to vote for their favorite in each category. One of the three eyases will be given the winning name from either the appropriate gender-specific poll or the gender-neutral poll, depending on which winner receives the most votes. For example:
The winner of the male name poll receives 30 votes.
The winner of the female name poll receives 20 votes.
The winner of the gender-neutral name poll receives 25 votes.
In this scenario, if the eyas is determined to be a male, it will receive the winning male name because it received more votes (30) than the gender-neutral name (25). However, if it is determined to be a female, it will receive the winning gender-neutral name because it received more votes than the female name (20).
You must be a member of the forum to be able to vote for a name. Join the forum now if you'd like to participate! Use this link to register:
A questionnaire will be sent to the email address you supply during registration. You must reply to this email in order to have your membership approved. Even if your answer to every question is "None of your %@#& business," you must reply, or your membership cannot be approved.

The polls close at 10:24 am (EDT) on Thursday, June 13, 2013.
The numbers are really close. One or two votes could make a difference. Every vote will count. So to give everyone a chance to vote, the voting period is being extended an extra day. The polls close at 10 am (EDT) on Friday, June 14, 2013.

Last night I was a super hero in training.
Grouped with 4 others, we had been together for 3-4 weeks. We all had special powers, which I have no recollection of, and the attempt to forge us into a group was failing. The major part of the dream was a sequence in which I was in a large multi-level toy store, being chased by our nemesis.
The Nemesis was missing a hand, but he had replaced it with a butane torch. Whenever he passed people he would burn them. Not a nice person. He also dressed in late 60's Disco wear
I know I was afraid but the fact he was dressed as a large browny coloured Grover (yes the Sesame Street guy), lead me into the false assumption I could get away.
Meanwhile (as in all dreams) I had left the group because I felt that we where failing to work as a group/team effectively. When the all came to my rescue, dressed the same uniforms, and armed with a tonne of non-lethal weaponry, I discovered that *I* had been the one who had failed the team, and in the week I hadn't been there, they had pulled together and now worked happily.
After a fantastic display of teamwork and only minor structural damage to the store, I found that they had come back to help me, but alas, I would never fully intergrate into the fuctioning unit, and would forever be on the outside of the group, a lone wolf.
I fear there is way to much X-men Vs. Mystery Men in my dreams!
At first, we were in some sort of livestock pen. I was running through the pasture dodging the big herbivores, but when I got to the enclosure, there was a raptor loose. I was staying pretty much out of sight, although it kept killing people in places where I could see the splash of blood.
Then it found me... and there were two of them. They were circling me and I was trying unsuccessfully to faint where I stood, when someone distracted them. Then some guy was controlling the raptor by pressing buttons on some sort of electronic implantation in it. He saved us from the other raptor by sending a strong signal indicating pine from one to the other. Apparently pine does not attract raptors the way human flesh does.
Of course, we couldn't let go of the raptor or it would cease to be in our control, so we took it on the plane with us. Smart. And of course the other one ended up stowing away and coming with us. I was wondering why someone didn't just shoot the darn things before they killed someone, as lack of weapons weren't a problem.
Finally, one of the raptors had me and some girl I didn't like (no one I know from real life) in a barn with some hay. I was hoping he would eat her so I could go away. We both had nowhere to run to, and it was standing between us trying to make up its mind.
Then my brother's alarm clock went off in the next room, even though he isn't here, and it woke me up. I was pretty annoyed at the time, but on second thought, it looks like he saved me from quite a mess.
Eventually I landed in an alley downtown and got out. I walked along the road until I saw my boyfriend, a girl we met at quiz bowl camp Andrea, and some other girl. We were cleaning the side of the road for money. I noticed at some point, the man paying us took Andrea to the side and said something to her. When we finished, he told us to come inside and he would pay us. I stood up and made a big speech about how he could pay us right there and we wouldn't need to go inside. But Andrea and the girl did. It was later understood that these two girls were raped and killed.
But eventually, my boyfriend and I were inside the building sans old creepy guy paying us. The man had paid us 87 cents for cleaning the road. I was sitting in a chair talking to my boyfriend about how he thought Andrea had softer skin. He said no. I said, "You thought that when she was alive." He replied, "Well... yeah." And began to insult my skin. Then there was this clip of me at age eleven sitting in a chair. People were trying to convince me to take better care of my facial skin but my only concern was playing mandolin (I was listening to NPR as I had this dream and I think an orchestral piece with a lot of mandolin was playing as I dreamt this). When I came out of the flashback, two boys came in the room and removed their heads. They would eat spinach by stuffing it in their esophagus, which was exposed to the air.
I removed my head and put it back on again. It didn't seem any different, but it felt like something was missing from my face that I couldn't see. The dream had the air of one of those stories from that Nickelodeon television show, Are You Afraid of the Dark. It was annoying. As I left the building, my boyfriend showed up by my car. There was this new grocery store next door and we were in the parking lot of it. I noticed my messenger bag was missing. We both turned around to see a car with fins on its tail flying by with the bag hanging from it. I chased it down the street. I thought it would stop at the traffic light, but it took a right turn and I never saw it again.
I awoke.
I also had this minidream where people were sitting in a room, playing some game, and every time they lost a point, someone would say, "Okay, 'foo', ratify an amendment of the United States Constitution that you don't like."
Walking down the street...
It's very quiet...
He turns to me and asks me why I'm throwing my life away. Suddenly, aliens invade! One dastardly alien grips me with his tentacles, while others chase Michael. The leader steps onto the battlefield. Michael sees him, and...
grows his fingers to 40 feet long, and pinches the leader's head off...
Needless to say, the aliens retreated. As Michael and I stand up, all the human survivors come and gather around me, and bow down low, touching the ground with their heads and hands. "Praise Adam, for he is Allah." That's what they said. And Michael stands up, "What the fuck!? I'm the one that saved you all..."
So then we took off in our rocket ship.
What a bloody strange dream eh? I thought so too. But now I have a rocket ship... so what the hell...

Whatever happened to Cumbrian strawberries?
Last updated at 21:56, Tuesday, 21 July 2009
There is a famine of vegetable growers in Cumbria and the industry is in danger of shrivelling to nothing thanks mainly to the increasing domination of supermarkets on the retail landscape.
James Walton in Dalston is one of the last dedicated vegetable growers in north Cumbria.
There are farmers who grow brassicas and winter root vegetables, but traditional vegetable growers such as Mr Walton have become a rare breed in the county.
He supplies a wide variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables including strawberries, beetroot and early carrots to wholesale firms who can sell it to pubs and restaurants at a premium because of its local credentials.
Mr Walton said: "There are not many places you can buy local veg now. It's a sad thing but it's a sign of the times.
"Veg growing won't come back to Cumbria on a big scale; for a small grower it's not easy to supply the supermarkets."
The decline of Cumbrian vegetable growers began with the demise of the Land Settlement Association in the early '80s.
Vast vegetable and fruit growing estates were created and maintained with help from association funds, but the money stopped.
Since then Bill Lightfoot's produce at his Wigton shop has been sourced from further and further afield.
There is plenty of north-west produce for sale, but most of it is from Lancashire.
Mr Lightfoot, a greengrocer for 29 years, said: "I used to sell Cumbrian tomatoes from April until November, lettuce, cucumber, prize-winning celery and soft fruit in June and July.
"We had five greengrocers in this town when I started and everyone of us had a local supplier. But the independent greengrocers have gone and supermarkets bring their produce from centralised packaging."
He believes there could be a future for the fruit and vegetable growers in the county because of consumers' renewed demand for local produce.
One of his suppliers is Maggie Harrison from Aldoth. Her large-scale, 48-acre potato crop has even won her contracts with Sainsbury's in Cockermouth.
Mr Lightfoot added: "I think there could still be a market for local produce especially as supermarkets are being required to market local produce.
"We used to have a mushroom farmer just up the road, but he couldn't compete with Irish farmers. Now we can get mushrooms in from as far away as Poland.
"Less than 10 per cent of the produce I sell now is Cumbrian – it used to be 40 per cent.
"I can't see why we can't grow the crops they grow in Lancashire. People are looking to local suppliers for milk, cheese and meat. It's the same with fruit and vegetables if someone would take the opportunity."

General Motors Complaint - GM Products and Their Latest 230 mpg Claims
Review by
Comments (6)
CALIFORNIA -- They are once again misleading the public with their 230 mpg claims. The last
I bought was in 1976 (Olds Cutlass Salon) and it was a piece of crap. So were all the previous GM and
products I owned from 1961 to 1976. I will never buy a GM product again. I continue to be very happy with my
products purchased over the last 30+ years. I have 147,000 miles on my latest "rice burner", an Infiniti G20T and have owned it for over 10 years. It runs great with a 4-banger and gets 29-31 mpg highway and 21-23 city. I don't care how much they improve them, they pissed me off bad enough that I swore to never purchase one again. And I have never been let down by my Toyota Carollas, Toyota Paseo's, Nissan Maxima or my latest Infiniti.

THE Albury mayoral race has swung into overdrive with Alice Glachan in the mix for a fifth term.
Her biggest threat, her deputy, councillor Kevin Mack, is undecided about running on September 23.
The stumbling block for Cr Mack is being able to strike a balance between being a full-time Victoria Police officer and meeting civic commitments.
Cr Glachan has successfully juggled duties as mayor and a lighting retailer since she replaced Patricia Gould in 2009.
If Cr Mack doesn't stand, a Melbourne Cup field of mayoral contenders could emerge — with Crs Henk van de Ven, Daryl Betteridge, and David Thurley joining Cr Glachan in the race.
"I think it is a good opportunity for change," Cr Mack said last night.
"Henk and Daryl, as experienced councillors, have legitimate claims to the position.
"As far as my aspirations go, it is a very difficult proposition to consider given the expectations of my employer and the roles I would have to fill as mayor."
Cr Mack watched police colleague Larry Goldsworthy try to juggle two positions when he was mayor of Indigo.
It is generally accepted Cr Mack would have the numbers with the backing of Crs van de Ven, Ross Jackson, Darren Cameron and Thurley.
But if he decides not to stand the numbers game becomes complex and intriguing.
Cr van de Ven has challenged Cr Glachan for mayor four times and tension between the pair was evident in Monday's Uiver debate.
He says he would run again "under the right circumstances" and depending on who else nominated.
"I have been on council for 9½ years and I can see the lie of the land as well as anyone else," he said.
"If Alice is the only nomination, I will nominate, but if someone like Kevin Mack does, I might not, and I would be happy to support him."
Support for Cr van de Ven is not as clear cut as those favouring Cr Mack.
Cr Glachan could win — if Cr Mack doesn't stand — with support from Cr Betteridge, Gould and Graham Docksey and one other.
Cr Betteridge has previously said he wouldn't run for mayor if he didn't think the best person to represent the city had nominated, while Cr Thurley could easily woo enough votes from both the council factions if he sought the $55,650 job.

He is the one that whispers dreams of power and conquest in the ears of those in positions of power (or positions to take said power). He not only motivates them, he gives them ideas and plans (which they think are their own) to conquer the city/ country/ world. He manipulates the weaker minds around him, so they will follow his designated puppet. Using their own greed and lusts, his puppets will destroy the world as it is now… turning it into one where Gathrack and his kin would thrive.
And who would suspect a pet cat as the instigator of a world in chaos.
Khass was one of the greatest friends I ever had. So of course, what choice did I have but to save him?
Dear gods above, what have I done?
Always on the cutting edge of fashion and the talk of the courts, Mialee the Beautiful is the supermodel of the fantastic world…
Once a tool awakened on purpose, the looming stones have outlived their masters but not their purpose
Everyone knows that that Senthia Khlack died with her father, the Duke Eldward Khlack, after their failed Rebellion. But what they do not is that Senthia still lives, after a fashion.
The mighty dragon - arrogant, though rightly so, for what blade can pierce such beautiful armour? What warrior can match its lithe, graceful movements and raw power? But what if such a regal, magestic beast were cut down to size? What if it became human, itself?
A secluded mage garbed only in black, an obvious aura of corruption exuding from him. His emotions seem to be absent, and evil is more than a desire to him. Its a necessity.
Those that know him have long ago forgotten his last name if he ever had one. Once a respected adventurer of great reknown he has since fell into mindlessness and general senility. An elf of no little confusion, his great knowledge is still available, just difficult to get to.
Locked away for his crimes by the gods themselves, he is the greatest spellcaster of all time.
Goblins originated the idea of meat on a stick. In larger towns, goblin vendors can be seen hawking their wares, a variety of animals skewered and deep fried. Almost always tasty so long as you dont ask too many questions.

MARFA, TX -- Investigators are trying to determine who smuggled nearly 500 pounds of marijuana on board a West Texas school bus hauling student athletes.
Border Patrol officials say the duffel bags of marijuana were discovered Monday night in the bus transporting Van Horn basketball players. The students were heading home after games in the border city of Presidio.
The bus stopped at a Marfa convenience store so the students could get snacks. The driver opened a cargo door and saw the bags.
Border Patrol spokesman Bill Brooks said Wednesday that an agent who happened to be at the store confiscated the marijuana. Nobody was arrested.
Drug Enforcement Administration officials did not immediately return a message Wednesday.
Culberson County-Allamoore Independent School District officials could not immediately be reached due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

For CA to do a WW2 TW, they'd have to redesign TW itself. The Second World War was far from the massed units or organised battles of previous conflicts, it was much more fluid like today. The First World War whilst possible wouldn't be very thrilling unless they came up with a genius new concept.
[–]DLStephens 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago
I agree it would take them far from the waters they have been swimming.
[–]johnbentley 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago
Yes that would be likely. But that is what would keep the game fresh.
I'd love a WW2 and the change in TW game play this would entail.
From a historical war and conceptual point of view: if anything stands as a "total war" it is WW2. Not only total in involving all facets of society but in touching major parts of the globe (making it a "World War"). There where theatres in Europe, Russia, Asia, Africa, the Pacific and even America (Hawaii).
[–]skooma714 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago
I hope they don't. WW2 RTS is already well represented. TW is different in that nobody else touches the period it touches in the way it does.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago
Also there's the problem of the teams. Are you allowed to play the Nazis? If not, there aren't really enough teams, and not being allowed to ay one of the main ones is pretty boring. If so, how deep does the industrial management go? When a town appears are you given the option of building an armaments factory, an airfield or a death camp? I can see there being a few to many controversies in a WW2 game.
[–]rhino369 0 points1 point2 points 8 months ago
I think WWII would work better than WWI. Major battles had pretty big sized units and battles were fairly organized.

You know them, the mele/assassin/DPS that just can't stop running around in a circle capturing points. They end with over 15 capped points, but the team looses. It's not their fault, their job is to capture points and ward buffs (for the love of mike, there are people WARDING FREE BUFFS!!) you know, the buffs where you just stand there for a bit.LOL. They're mad at you for not defending, they're mad at you because your after game stats say 3 points capped, but of those three, one was held the entire game. The other caster who was defending.......or trying, spends most of the game like you, getting 2 and 3v1'ed at a garrisoned cap while watching the map flux from red circle to green circle to grey square. Eventually you just sit back and enjoy the show, no stress, just having fun in the beta, you just realized you're gonna have to make a premade with friends or people you met that understand how to play. Eventually, you just sit back and watch all the hamsters run.
Never underestimate the scout's code.
I prefer gerbils, they're less stringy.
Capturing points when the enemy is preoccupied is not a bad strategy. Defend when you're ahead, try to cap when you aren't. How about the people who, when you're getting four-capped, decide to endlessly teamfight for your last point (nearest to your base) as your nexus health drains away, without attempting to get other points? They're worth complaining about.
congratz you just caped 1 base. we now have 4. enjoy that one base.
That's the Fail Train. Capture all day, never defend, always lose. Choo-Choo!
The Fail Train usually has 3-4 players farming easy caps for points, meanwhile the enemy team can easily dominates the rest of the map. Ninja caps are something, and are moderately useful, mostly just do distract enemies from other more important points. You will not be able to cap one point after the other unless you outnumber the defenders or the enemy team lets you.
idk my hamstering worked pretty **** well for me. http://i53.tinypic.com/zvu354.png

How Is Power Shared In Africa?
This paper presents new evidence on the power sharing layout of national political elites in a panel of African countries, most of them autocracies. We present a model of coalition formation across ethnic groups and structurally estimate it employing data on the ethnicity of cabinet ministers since independence. As opposed to the view of a single ethnic elite monolithically controlling power, we show that African ruling coalitions are large and that political power is allocated proportionally to population shares across ethnic groups. This holds true even restricting the analysis to the subsample of the most powerful ministerial posts. We argue that the likelihood of revolutions from outsiders and the threat of coups from insiders are major forces explaining such allocations. Further, over-representation of the ruling ethnic group is quantitatively substantial, but not different from standard formateur premia in parliamentary democracies. We explore theoretically how proportional allocation for the elites of each group may still result in misallocations in the non-elite population.Download Info

El Empantanado Filmmakers on the Miami Film Industry, Not Having Killed and/or Slept With Each Other
Categories: Film and TV
Felipe Echavarria & Maggie Drayton |
If it sounds like an only-in-Miami story, that's because it is; El Empantanado (The Muddy) is the first film by Miami filmmakers Maggie Drayton and Felipe Echavarria. It was shot almost entirely in South Florida with South Florida crews and is one of 10 projects to be selected for this year's Independent Filmmaker Project's Filmmaker Lab program.
The labs, which connect filmmakers with seasoned mentors in the film industry, can be the difference between a film reaching a wide audience and being forgotten amidst the glut of the hundreds of independent features made each year.
And given that they are first-time filmmakers, they needed to make the most of their resources. "One of the resources was the landscape," Echavarria says. "South Florida has this amazing landscape that isn't really being portrayed in the media. With CSI and Dexter, it's all about the city and violence and drugs. Nobody is talking about the non-party aspect or the nature.
"So that was what led us to find the concept in which the film was going to live. And then, I am Colombian and I decided I'm going to tell a story that holds true to my roots but doesn't depend on violence to connect to that. I knew I wasn't going to talk about drugs or about an immigrant who was coming in illegally to the United States. I wanted to show a different aspect of the Colombians who have assimilated into a culture."
What resulted is the story of two best friends, one American and one Colombian, not unlike Drayton and Echavarria. Though Echavarria says, "I should note that unlike the characters in the film, we haven't tried to kill each other or sleep with the same person."
Drayton and Echavarria now estimate the film as being 85 percent complete, with another sequence to be shot each in Colombia and South Florida in the coming months. Their aim is to finish El Empantanado by September and submit for the major film festivals taking place in early 2013.

QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | DT | OLB | ILB | CB | S | K/P | Recap
2011 Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2011.
Peyton Manning, QB, Colts. Age: 35.
Re-signed with Colts (5 years, $90 million)
Statistically, Peyton Manning had a poor year by his standards, throwing 17 interceptions to 33 touchdowns and generating just a 6.9 YPA. However, considering that he was working with no-names like Blair White and Jacob Tamme all year, Manning had an exceptional season. It's highly doubtful that Bill Polian will allow him to hit the open market.
QB Eagles No. 7. Age: 31.
Franchised by Eagles
QB Eagles No. 7 still has his elite athleticism and arm strength. He also still has his inability to make multiple reads and recognize the blitz. He turns 31 in June, so you have to wonder how much longer he'll maintain his elusiveness.
Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seahawks. Age: 35.
Signed with Titans (3 years, $21 million)
Matt Hasselbeck looked like he belonged in a glue factory at many points during the year, but played really well in the postseason. He was ultimately betrayed by close to a dozen drops by his receiving corps in Chicago, but he proved that he can still get it done if he has the support around him.
Caleb Hanie (RFA), QB, Bears. Age: 25.
Re-signed with Bears (1 year)
A former sleeper of Mel Kiper's, Caleb Hanie handled himself very well in relief of Jay Cutler and Todd Collins in the NFC Championship. I'd like to see Hanie get a shot at a starting gig somewhere in 2012. For now, the Bears will have to use a second-round tender on the Colorado State product.
Vince Young, QB, Titans. Age: 28.
Signed with Eagles (1 year)
Vince Young is stupid and immature. That's what it comes down to. Young has immense talent and wins games against crappy teams, but he'll never lead a team deep into the playoffs until he improves the mental aspect of his game and takes football more seriously. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Marc Bulger, QB, Ravens. Age: 35.
Announced retirement
A year off from football is exactly what Marc Bulger needed. If his next team has a good offensive line, Bulger could recapture some of his early-2000s magic.
Billy Volek, QB, Chargers. Age: 35.
Re-signed with Chargers (2 years)
Billy Volek is one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL. It sounds as though he may join Ron Rivera to temporarily take over as Carolina's starting quarterback.
Alex Smith, QB, 49ers. Age: 27.
Re-signed with 49ers (1 year, $5 million)
Let's use some GameCenter commentary for this: "reguardless Alex Is a GREAT Secondary I dont want him gone I just dont want him as a Starter." Translation: Alex Smith would make for a good backup, but not a starter. That, or Alex Smith can play defensive back. You never know with these GameCenter people.
Bruce Gradkowski, QB, Raiders. Age: 28.
Signed with Bengals (2 years)
The Polish Point-Shaver isn't the most skilled quarterback in the league, but he has a Jeff Garcia-type feistiness and is capable of being a low-end starter in the NFL.
Luke McCown, QB, Jaguars. Age: 30.
Re-signed with Jaguars (1 year)
Back in August, I predicted that Luke McCown would supplant David Garrard as the starter this year. McCown came in for an ineffective Garrard in Week 2, but tore his ACL amid going 11-of-19 for 120 yards. McCown is a quality backup who won't kill a team if he has to start for a few games.
Seneca Wallace, QB, Browns. Age: 31.
Re-signed with Browns (3 years, $9 million)
Completing 63.4 percent of his passes on a 6.9 YPA, Seneca Wallace proved once again that he can be a capable backup in this league.
Kerry Collins, QB, Titans. Age: 38.
Signed with Colts
Kerry Collins plays drunk sometimes, but his 28-of-39, 300-yard, two-touchdown, no-interception performance at Indianapolis in the season finale indicates that he can still be a solid backup in this league.
Tarvaris Jackson, QB, Vikings. Age: 28.
Signed with Seahawks
Tavaris Jackson can be a decent backup quarterback in the NFL. No one aside from Brad Childress thinks he can start, however.
Troy Smith, QB, 49ers. Age: 27.
Troy Smith is a mediocre backup quarterback. He can make stuff happen on the ground, but his completion percentage (50.3%) was horrific this season.

Tebow definitely shouldn't be a tight end or running back or whatever what he should be is a third string quaterback with the Patriots who will kind hide him from the media and just let him be your scout team quaterback who the only snaps he ses is in the pre season

Tebow's amazing playoff victory had only 10 completions! Only 10 passes out of 21 were completed. That's a lot of help by your receivers to get you to 316 yards. His rushing attempts were the same number as completions. He had 2 games for Denver where he was a primary passer. Against Detroit he threw 39 times for 18 completions, 172 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT. Then against Chicago he threw 40 times for 21 completions, 236 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT. So his yards are sure low compared to his 10 completion playoff game, huh? His receivers helped a lot that game. By the way he was terrible against New England the next game.

Tebow sucks he won a game completing 3 PASSES so it certainly wasn't him to win them the game and Demaryius Thomas' runs after catches in the playoff game won it for them not only did he turn the opening overtime play into a 80 yard touchdown but also did other times his speed bailed out Tebow's terrible throws multiple times so don't be a dumbass Walt he SUCKS

we went from 1-4 with orton to 8-8 with tebow. that is a solid 7-4 record with a squad that had the worst combined record for the last two seasons in the league. i will never forget that season - it was one thrill ride with. to win seemingly lost games in the final minutes or in the overtime was way more fun that the last season with manning when the game was over after the first half most of the time. i don't care if his throws weren't pretty or accurate - the game was fun and exciting to watch. he might not win it all but for a team that is not going to win it all anyway - i am talking to you jaguars - you can have a season of your life with tebow in 2013

JERUSALEM — When Margaux Stelman began modeling a few months ago, she always had her sister Simone in mind.
Simone was an ex-model who died three years ago after a long battle with anorexia, a common affliction of models trying to look thinner and thinner — and girls trying to look like them.
Now, thanks to a new Israeli law that prohibits the employment of underweight fashion models, Stelman says she feels protected from the traditional pressures of an industry notorious for encouraging extremes in thinness. The law sets weight minimums with the aim of discouraging anorexia and bulimia, eating disorders that affect mostly young women, who go on extreme diets and are unable to eat normally.
"This disease is something that's very close to me," the 21-year-old university student from Belgium said at a recent photo shoot, the country's first since the law took effect last week. "Doing the exact opposite, showing girls that (they) can be healthy and be a model anyway, it's really something I want to show."
The Israeli law, passed by parliament last year, is the first of its kind. The United States and England have guidelines, but their fashion industry is self-regulated. Other governments have taken steps to prevent "size zero" medical problems but have shied away from legislation.
Israel, like other countries, is obsessed by models. International supermodel Bar Refaeli is considered a national hero. Refaeli, an Israeli who has graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, among others, is not unnaturally thin.

More luxury box reservations made than anticipated
NORFOLK, Va. -- A group trying to entice the Montreal Expos to move to Norfolk has received reservations for more luxury boxes than outlined in a stadium proposal, plus commitments for well more than 5,000 season tickets.
"The season ticket count is right around where we had expected it to be at this point," three weeks into a sales drive to show the area can support a major league team, said William Somerindyke Jr., co-founder and CEO of the Norfolk Baseball Company, which represents a group of unidentified investors.
"But the luxury suites has been astronomical," Somerindyke said in an interview this week. "I expected a good showing from that but probably not that high, that quick."
More than 75 businesses and organizations, including Fortune 500 companies Smithfield Foods Inc. and Norfolk Southern Corp., have pledged $1,000 apiece to reserve luxury suites, Somerindyke said. The stadium plans call for at least 60 luxury boxes, as well as 35,000 to 38,000 seats.
The luxury suites would range from $75,000 to $125,000, depending on location and amenities, while season-ticket packages would cost $810 to $2,835 for 81 home games.
About 1,000 season-ticket deposits and about 40 luxury-suite deposits were pledged before the campaign officially started May 26. The deposits are refundable.
The group is well on track to reach 10,000 season-ticket deposits, Somerindyke said.
"From the support they've gotten to date, I think everybody is hungry for" Major League Baseball, said Gary Brandt, president and CEO of Marine Hydraulics International Inc. The Norfolk shipyard has reserved a luxury suite to use as a marketing tool.
The Hampton Roads coastal region, with a population of more than 1.5 million, is among the largest metropolitan areas lacking a major league sports franchise.
Brandt said he thinks Hampton Roads, home to a number of military bases, has a better than 50 percent chance to snag the Expos.
"I think it's a win because the Hampton Roads area is a melting pot," Brandt said Thursday. "With the infusion of the military here, you have people from all over the country. You're going to be drawing a lot of people who will go to baseball games just to see their home team."
Baseball has been trying to relocate the Expos since the struggling franchise was purchased by the 29 other teams before the 2002 season.
Downtown Washington and Northern Virginia appear to be the leading contenders. Other candidates are Las Vegas; Monterrey, Mexico; Portland, Ore.; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Norfolk season-ticket campaign includes billboards and television, radio and print ads. One TV spot features five area mayors wearing business attire and batting helmets.
To keep the momentum going, more than 500 manhole covers designed to look like baseballs are now being put down on streets in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Hampton and Portsmouth.
"We really wanted to get the area really pumped up about baseball," Somerindyke said of the campaign. "Manhole covers are something you drive over or walk over every day. We want to ingrain baseball in everybody's minds."
Somerindyke said the group also soon plans to reveal the identity of some of the investors. He said they include a handful of local people as well as "one big name" from outside the area.
