Well Hal I didn't Tivo the game but from what I saw it wasn't clear that he rolled well into the 1st down but since they didn't challenge you are probably right. I've seen too many spot replays go against the seahawks to say anything will definitely stand up. I believe you have to challenge, especially that late in the game, because you are screwed for sure if you just play on.

Good game but I don't understand why Norv doesn't challenge the spot on Faulk's catch. Pretty much game over right there. Very surprised/disappointed in LT's sideline behavior.

A bit off topic. Letterman & Trump talking football on Friday. Dave wants to get rid of punts & timeouts. Don wants the NFL to use the college ot rule.

Compared to the Broncos salary cap violations from 1996-98? Belichick is way too smart to do this without a reason. It was too blatant. Maybe it's worth a couple of third round picks to instill further paranoia into opponents. It must be near impossible to keep up with all the packages in place as is & now D's have a little extra to worry about. You gotta think someone is trying to steal the audio communications from coach to QB as well. Whatever it takes to win right. These owners didn't make all there money playing by the rules. My conspiracy/trading places mindset still believes that Lowe's had something to do with the Vick case proceeding so rapidly.

Good thing the thing doesn't go around his head. I'd say Jack's head grew just as much. I agree with Cuban. "Those of us who grew up pre cable, satellite and Internet don't know nearly as much about our sports icons from the early '80s and before as we think we do."

How do you fail a marijuana test in these times? There are products, given 4 hours notice, that will let you pass ANY herb test. Parole, job, whatever. Now I don't know about other drugs but how can he or his agent let this happen. Travel the world & you'll see everyone does drugs in some form. In the US folks prefer their tidy prescriptions.

that steroid use (excuse me: Performance Enhancing drug use) There's a considerable difference between steroids & performance enhancers(including hgh) which is why I brought up the point. Grimsley said steroids were used by the Baltimore players & performance enhancers were used by Clemens. rcade's post is misleading.
posted by catfish at 05:30 PM on October 01
Grimsley never said Clemens used steroids. According to the affidavit, Grimsley told investigators that Clemens "used athletic performance-enhancing drugs." He accused the Baltimore players of steroid use.

The late technical really sealed the game for Greece. Single elimination is a pretty rough format. Nice job of putting this team together Colangelo. Good luck Raptors.

This guy couldn't even make 06 all-euroleague, hell even trajan langdon pulled that off. If you wanted a 7 footer who shoots jumpers then you got your guy. Roy, Foye, Aldridge & maybe Armstrong will have better careers. I see it's your team so I'm done bashing.

Your Mr Colangelo also quit during the middle of the season w/ the Suns, & to my knowledge has as many nba rings as I do. Every team is going international, that's hardly news. What exactly about Bargnanai do you like besides his long range shooting?
posted by catfish at 03:42 PM on June 29
IANAS lilnemo but I have watched andrea play, live as a matter of fact, & he's obviously a great player but I don't think his game translates to the NBA. 12-4-1 w/ a block or two is the future. There were better options.
posted by catfish at 01:47 PM on June 29
I would argue Toronto had the worst draft unless Tucker turns into Barkley. Bargnani was a horrible selection.

Houston/DAS EFX Ran a long-discredited style into the ground to become a footnote in the story of the '90s. Really, how far did they think they could take this? If DAS/EFX won a grammy then I say spot on. Remember Ware.

Quick reply from IAAF. Dear Mr Franks, IAAF Rule 165.23 (a) on this subject says: "For all races up to and including 10,000m, the time shall be read and recorded to 1/100th of a second." Furthermore, at the moment we are not in a position to guarantee a 1.000 timing in all our competitions. Kind regards, Pierre Weiss IAAF General Secretary
posted by catfish at 11:12 AM on May 18
Now take that next step and email the IAAF TC! Ottavio would only provide a general email but I sent a proposal anyway. We'll see. Photo finish from the race.
posted by catfish at 10:34 AM on May 18
I emailed the statistics & documentation senior manager at IAAF, Mr. Ottavio Castellini, & asked why they didn't extend times to thousandths. His reply: Sorry, I am not involved in this kind of matters. This is a rule approved by the IAAF Congress. Why, I don’t know. There is an IAAF Technical Committee in charge of the technical matters. So it is not my responsibility to replay. Regards, Ottavio Castellini

Back in June 2005 Powell's time was clocked as 9.78 seconds equalling the existing World record - Tim Montgomery, USA, Paris, France, 14/09/2002 - but a few minutes later this was corrected officially to 9.77 (wind 1.6m/s) after examination of the photo-finish images. His reaction time at the start was 0.150.

Seems like IAFF should include thousandths in determining this world record & not just round up.

Is there an EU football equivalent where a player was so hated by a franchise then signed by them a few years later? TO got caught in a media trap & had the wrong folks guiding him. If the boys could have grabbed him late last year it might have made a difference. They're a wildcard team at best in 07. Christ Marilyn please tell me you weren't born in 1968.

The cream & clear will probably be OTC in twenty years. He's a product of the times. If your angry that a player took performance enhancers then most of your childhood heroes are guilty as well.

As someone who watched every snap of the hawks this year I'm pissed our coaches decide to try out a new gameplan just for the super bowl. They looked passive & out of synch. I can't remember a single go for a run up the middle vs that 3-4 defense. We were terrible & it feels like we watched the worst effort of both teams & the officials.
