SpoFi Basketball H2H Week 1 results: No blowouts and a long season ahead, but a few teams got off to great starts. My team, not so much.

I Am Bill James and I Am Smarter Than You.: The only way to make your team succeed is to undergo a harsh rebuilding process where nearly each and every one of your core players is acquired through the draft. What if you can't draft, or afford the outrageous signing bonuses top picks get nowadays? Too bad bitch.

Wresting self links? Fuck yeah!

God, I was up all week, then this. Now one of my point guards is in Brazil (take care of your family, Leandro), and the rest of my team might as well be. No Ankle Left Unsprained!

Wow, I knew you were cooking up something good, but now I'm just ashamed of my table from last week. Excellent work!!!

Changes to race stewarding announced:
1. Written explanations of decisions.
2. All film used in making the decision will be made available to the public.
3. Replay system to try to make all decisions during the race, rather than after.
4. Training system for stewards requiring observational role for five races before stewarding a race.
5. Short bio of stewards to be posted online.
6. Encourage former race drivers to become stewards? Not sure about this one...
Anyway, positive changes toward transparency and better-trained stewards. Hopefully us nasty Lewis fans will have less to complain about next year.

Aww yeah...
I'm coming back to kick your ass for that one, Mr. Hand. Week 10 and 19 are circled, brother.

Drood, your comments just show that two people can look at the same facts and come up with entirely opposite conclusions. Of course, I'm right and you're wrong...
If you cared for the sport as much as you claim, you'd be yelling at the top of your lungs about the FIA corruption instead of calling it a "part of the sport." There have been bad decisions in the past, but this season has seen an unconscionable amount of interference. It's been a farce, a race between the stewards, lawyers and race control.
But by all means, ignore the facts and attack the fans.

Oh lovely, I see I screwed up the team name links. They're relative URLs and I forgot to switch them to the Yahoo site. Oh well. Monday, dude.

Sorry, mbd1 - I'll fix that on the next one. Anyone got SpoFi names for 1, 2 and 5?
Yukon, we're tied at the bottom, but it looks like the results are listed alphabetical.

Second Thoughts for the Second Man. Clive at F1 Insight makes the case that Massa does not deserve the sympathy being heaped on him.

Unlike Drood, I think Hamilton deserved the championship and had to beat not only his rivals, but also the sport's organizers. The FIA and various race stewards tried their damndest to steal it from McLaren and package it for Ferrari. Thank God they failed.
The Ferrari team behaved badly, never acknowledging their (many) mistakes and encouraging investigations into everything so they could win on technicalities. The favoritism (or antipathy toward McLaren) from the FIA turned Ferrari into the worst kind of spoiled teacher's pet. I hold no ill will toward Massa or his family, but it was sweet revenge to the Ferrari garage celebrating early.
However, I will agree that Alonso has shown himself to be a cut above the rest in a lesser car. Hopefully Renault will continue their strong run into next season.
On a side note: what the hell was Kubica doing? He was lapped yet he inserted himself in the championship fight on the last lap?

Ugh. That table will have to do... the Locker Room code and preview function is a fucking mess.

Yes, Yukon, that would be great. Anyone else want to pitch in?

Thanks, BoKnows. We'll see. If I could re-do a few picks, I'd have taken Nash instead of Deron Williams and gone for someone with more upside (and fewer sprained ankles) than Shane Battier.
After the draft, I'd say Flying Elbows and Spacemen have to be the favorites.

Uhh... make that ten teams. Be sure to identify your team by your SpoFi name.
Call it a Comeback = me.

BC coach fired for Jets' interview
This just looks vindictive. If I'm a top head coach candidate, do I want to go somewhere where I'll be fired for seeking to advance my career? It's like a minor league team getting upset because a player wants to go to the majors.
Besides, the best bosses are always happy when an employee does well and moves on. The athletic director made himself look like a real dickhead with this power play.
