Brett Yormark is the Nets CEO. He is the Bill Veeck of the operation, and a Bruce Ratner hire. He actually is brilliant. The naming rights deal alone on Barclays Center could have been someone's legacy, but this guy has done everything in reason to keep the Nets from total collapse. He should have hired me, though.
I think the Tyson loving pigeons thing is the key to remembering he is a real person. It's refreshing he talks about it.
i would have said reddit has been politcally correct from day one. Also, it is a lot more female than other sites. But most sites tend to have been incubated from white male geeks.
I wonder if he is David Stern's wet dream.
From what I've heard from basketball people who visited China, Yao was never as popular as Kobe, because the flashiness of a scorer or exciting point guard is a lot more popular in the youth culture there.
Regardless, he is going to be very wealthy from a sneaker company.
No....3D is a gimmick. When 4K resolution comes to the mainstream (or maybe even just the increased quality of the picture from OLED screens), that will be enough for most people.
Most people don't understand how much broadcast TV is compressing even the highest quality HD signals that are out there.
I think the only people that didn't like the original were right-wingers or at least other kinds of political extremists.
That was my first reaction too, but I think we underestimate people's ability to listen to something nonstop over a few weeks nowadays and get fixated on it.
Duh! Because that's how old girls were when they started rejecting me!
Actually, I've seen some speculation that people want to get U. Toronto in BCS level football.
There is a game of chicken going on. As soon as any one conference gets to 16 schools in football, all Hell breaks loose. I wish the Big Ten had been more proactive.
I'm assuming that's part of the gag. I hope so, really because that's even more brilliant.
Brilliant. If I knew anyone funny/famous and had something to sell, I'd take this local ad strategy in an era of youtube links. I am already a lot more likely to want to drink it now.
Baseball has years with only one or two inductees, and football seems to do a nice job with the veterans committee.
Two Steelers and two Pitt players. I wonder if Pitt will have any success in the ACC or if they've destroyed all of what remained of their traditions.
Interesting, I would have thought that Urban Meyer gets his team into a mentality of all games being big.
Also, this reminds me of Joe Tiller's great line about Purdue in his first year there: "We have Michigan and Ohio State right where we want them - off the schedule."
I don't know any straight men who are into the Black Eyed Peas. If its asexual, I guess the inherent gayness is cancelled out by strippers using it as their soundtrack.
my thoughts, exactly. I understand the "let's lay back and enjoy it," but this is not a sport where the layman knows what constitutes perfect....and neither would much of the crowd.
The only thing Professor Dowling wishes to happen is for Rutgers to downsize and return to the Patriot League. If Rutgers weren't the state's flagship university, he might have had a lot of support for that notion.
"When you care about nothing but big-time football..."
So you're implying Rutgers should care more about women's basketball? More about certain academic programs?

Of course an educational institution's goal should be academic, but Rutgers has always been in a particularly unique circumstance amongst major state institutions when it comes to NEEDING to be high profile via athletics....because so many New Jersey students have chosen to go out of state for many reasons.
Obviously when it comes to elite academic programs, sure an Ivy is probably a better choice. But many solid, but not Ivy level students have always chosen to leave New Jersey for some out of state school. From what I understand, many of them are just looking for that "traditional college experience" that the Big Ten schools always seem to deliver on. Rutgers never really had that before Schiano's teams' successes.
That's why I was fine with letting Schiano stay here as long as he wish, even if meant many more 8-4 years. His players apparently do well in the classroom and haven't been embarrassments off the field (Kenny Britt's NFL shenanigans notwithstanding.)
for what it's worth, i've seen "tween" both used to mean "preteen-to-teen" and "teen-to-twenty"
