MBB: Landmark Conference

[Matt Letourneau]

Well, we'll see.  Season isn't over yet.  In fact, we're not even halfway done with the conference schedule.  Unless things change dramatically, somebody's going to have to go into Scranton and beat them there, but who knows.

Well, no offense D-MAC, but I didn't even need to read your post to know what direction you'd go in.  You've never been a Banzhaf guy and we've argued that for years.

Your offensive rebounding argument makes no sense.  You do realize he's the league leader in offensive rebounds by a significant margin, right?  In fact, he's actually "only" 2nd in defensive rebounds--his overall margin comes from the offensive end.  What's with the arbitrary and nonsensical standard that a majority of rebounds have to come from the offensive end?  Has ANYBODY met that standard?  For his career, Ben Wallace had 3327 offensive boards, and 6789 defensive rebounds--meaning 67% of his rebounds were defensive.  Does that somehow invalidate the fact that he was a dominant rebounder?   And by the way, Banzhaf's ratio is actually better--63%.

So...what's your point with that?

You've been using that same refrain for three years. Same ending result, unfortunately.

Well, not unfortunately for you!  I know.  But are you willing to say Scranton absolutely can't be beaten by anybody?  I mean, as I know all too well, the Jets just beat the Patriots after we spanked them 45-3.  Its sports, things happen.  Short of hanging 'em up and declaring the season over, what are you going to do?  Play it out and let's see.   If Scranton wins, then they'll no doubt deserve it and God bless them.

Wait, your a Patriots fan too?    Next time tell Welker to keep his mouth shut!

HAHAHA.
A Jets fan, whose team is the second coming of Thug Heaven, have bigger mouths than the Lincoln Tunnel, disrespect every team they face along with the fans and the integrity of the game, and are coached by biggest horses patoot ever to walk the sidelines, is telling a Patriots fan to have one of their players keep his mouth shut?
Now, that's PRICELESS!

I think Bart Scott said it best " You don't talk about a man's wife". The internet buzz I am hearing is that Bellicheat is looking to move Welker, he is so upset with his actions.

[Matt Letourneau]

I was born and raised 30 miles west of Boston!  I'm a Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins fan--in that order.

But you're right--this is a private matter between Rex Ryan, his wife, and the 50 million daily users of YouTube.

(I'm sorry, but at the point you post videos of your wife up on YouTube and leave them there--your right to privacy--and right not to be made fun of-- goes out the window).

Wes did a little mea culpa today and said he regretted putting "Coach in that position."  It had nothing to do with the outcome of the game.  If Welker gets moved, it will be for financial reasons.  That's just how the Pats roll.

So what you're saying is if Belicheat coached the Jets, he'd move the entire team?
What Welker did was nothing. I don't recall him laying down in the endzone after a score and then wave goodbye to the fans like Sean "Gag" Green did, right?

  Royals picked up 32 points in this week's top 25 poll in the others receiving votes category; road tests this weekend at MMA/Drew.

POY: I'll wait til all the games are played; should even include the playoffs, but I'm remembering the voting takes place before then.

Matt- you graduated from Catholic, you are smart enough to know that Rex Ryan or his wife didn't put that video on Youtube. I am not saying that he couldn't have done a better job protecting his private videos, but why would he want that video out?

Ronk, believe that places them 27th in the nation. When is the last time the Royals were in the top 25? During the 2003 run?

You spelled "Sean" wrong.

Uhh.. let me say this carefully cc--.because some guys "enjoy" the idea of other guys finding their spouse attractive.  That's about the cleanest way I can say it.

Who else would have posted those videos?  You must not have been following this story too well--the username associated with those videos was his wife's and it was her profile.  They posted them themselves--that's pretty clear. 

Do some digging, seriously--you'll see what I'm saying is true and it goes well beyond just those videos.  They had profiles on some far more "interesting" sites than YouTube.

Okay, we are way off topic.  Enough of that.

I'm guessing the 2008 squad with Tom Bicknell/Randy Arnold might have been in the top 25.

The last time Scranton was ranked was No. 22 in the final poll of the 2002-03 season.

Reading comprehension is a good thing. Try it, read the prior posts and you may notice it was NEPA, not cold case, that put you to task on your immediate topic.

Yes, I have read all the Deadspin articles and am familiar with the story. They allegedly have a profile on a swingers site, but the handle is anonymous, their handle isn't "RexRyan and Wife". My point is that someone close, or who used to be close to them could have released the information. Did you see Ryan in the Press Conference after this was released? Not a happy camper. Why bring it on himself?

Thanks, Pat. They lost to Wooster in the Sweet 16 that year.



By the way, checking the Drew Box score (not sure why) last night, no Asmar Capers, can anyone tell me his status?
