Friday, March 10th, 2006 at 1:40 pmI’ve been traveling, doing work, and (of course) playing World Of Warcraft almost non-stop these past few weeks. I see that Jonathan has been busy keeping the site updated with fresh content. Things must be settling down for him in the new house.
One of my internet buddies pointed me to the latest blog […]
Fielding Bible Take 2
Thursday, March 9th, 2006 at 8:47 pmAfter a few more days with The Fielding Bible by John Dewan, I have to say it is a pretty darn interesting book. Certainly not a purchase for everyone, but I imagine that fans of statistical baseball analysis, fantasy baseball, and students of the game will really enjoy the book.
One of the most interesting […]
Ming Fu
Sunday, March 5th, 2006 at 6:35 pmMy kids have been asking (no, begging is a better word) for a dog for a while now. Tonya and I promised them that we would get them a dog once we moved into the new house (since the yard was fenced in). No doubt you can see where this is going …

Speaking of Intelligent QBs
Saturday, March 4th, 2006 at 7:55 amThe Atlanta Falcons just did some shady bookkeeping with Vick’s contract:
The bookkeeping transaction has no impact on Vick, since he would have received the $7 million whether it was treated as a roster bonus or as a signing bonus. The five-year veteran and Pro Bowl performer is due to earn a 2006 base salary of […]
The Vince Young (Wonderlic) Top 10
Saturday, March 4th, 2006 at 7:30 amI am going to have to post this without the permission of Scott Carter, who happens to be my boss (cause that is what a good employee does).** He put this together to take a jab at my dad, who just so happens to be a huge Texas fan. I figure a cc […]
Young, Wonderlic, and Disrespect
Friday, March 3rd, 2006 at 10:56 pmThere has been a lot written this week about Young’s alleged low Wonderlick test score - and more to be posted later on this site. I found the following quote on ESPN.com, from Young’s agent (Major Adams) fairly interesting:
“People are going to try to bring him down between the Rose Bowl and the draft […]
New OOTP League …
Friday, March 3rd, 2006 at 7:27 pmI finally got brave and joined a second OOTP league: JOBL. I am taking over Orlando, which seems to be a decent team, with playoff aspirations this season. I have not hard time to study Orlando’s history, but I am sure it will be challenging to keep the team on the up and […]

Winning Eleven 9 (PSP)
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006 at 8:37 pmI had a few minutes to get in a quick game, which is certainly not enough to judge the game as a whole. With that said, just one game was enough for me to determine that the pace of the game and spacing of players was better than the dozen of games I spent […]
Happy March!
Wednesday, March 1st, 2006 at 7:13 pmWelcome to a new month of bliss. Fun stuffs in store - college basketball tournaments galore – about the only time I pay attention to college basketball. Spring Training is in full swing, and that little something called the World Baseball Classic is actually going to make baseball intense in the otherwise calm, […]
No Wonder They Cheat …

Player to watch this fall: Ohio State LB Larry Grant. A junior college star at City College of San Francisco, Grant originally committed to Florida last fall but didn’t meet SEC academic requirements. He signed with Ohio State and likely will start spring practice at […]
