bye bye childress.
Brad Childress was officially fired today by the Vikes. Fraizer their D coach will take over. I like that move because Fraizer will be a hot ticket this offseason. Also Jason Garrett has done nicely with the Boys, I know it was the Lions, but also the Lions aren't an easy game anymore.

how about them Bucs, they aren't the best team in the league and still have a lot of room to grow. At 7-3 though they are looking awfully good.

so to move away from Oden, has anyone seen the little impressive season Jameer Nelson is having? He has had back to back games of 9 ast or more, as well as 7 of the 10 games he has played he has 7 or more assist and 5 of the ten he has had 7 or more ast.
I have stated for a while a big reason the Magic wont be true contenders is maturity and Nelson being able to dish at will. He has looked very good in a bunch of the games they have played and the maturity of the whole team (Dwight) has looked extremely good to me.
Also Dwight seems to be finding his offense...... finally.
Vince Carter has looked good this year hitting 46% of his Three's. To bad we are still paying someone 19 mill to avg 10/5 a game

That was indeed a great card.
Main event hinged on who you gave the first round to. I gave it to Rampage, but I can completely understand someone giving it to Machida. My scorecard was 29-28 Rampage...there are a lot of people online saying that the last round was a 10-8, but I guess they were watching a different fight!
Penn-Hughes was 20-odd seconds of tension followed by all-round good times
Harris looked bad more than Falcao looked good - with that said, I understand why Falcao coasted the last round.
George Sotiropoulos vs Sean Sherk in Oz next Feb. Winner gets a title shot.
Phil Davis has the shoulders of an action figure.
As if this night wasn't surreal enough, I got an email off Mike f'ing Tyson. A colleague gave his manager my Gmail addy. Bizarre!
I agree with how you scored the 1st round and the fight. I thought Rampage was more aggressive and seemed to want it more. I didn't personal think Dragon did enough to warrant a 10 to 8 3rd round. He had a great match and won it yes, but Rampage also had offense in that round as well.
Also cool about the tyson thing
-
to me Rampage vs Dragon was a close hard fought fight. Good for Rampage to get a little steam heading forward and god I hope they get the rematch

Conley has already lost his starting job this year to vazques, and looks god awful when he's on the floor.
He is a turnover machine, I loved every minute he played against the Celtics last week. I was way more concerned when vazquez was on the floor, rondo was absolutely murdering conley.
Griz are kicking themselves hopefully for giving him 5 years at 50 million
-
Oden will stay with the Blazers because 8 million for the option is a LOT cheaper than the 20 or thirty million they would need to bring in somebody from free agency. Oden at 8 million next year will actually be a "cheap" option for center.
That being said Greg Oden is not going to be the player people thought he was in college. I don't even think you can use the word potential for a guy like Oden since he's shown NO potential to be on that level. He's shown he can be solid but not Bill freaking Russell.
Anyway the Oklahoma City got Durant which I'm thankful for. Hopefully this time next year I'll be close enough to get season tickets.
I believe Portland has already declined his option so no 8 million isn't the option there. They got Camby last year and he probably has at least 2 more years of being their rebounder.

If he gets Healthy. Also Oden has never shown he would be a dominate player at all, even when he is Healthy. He played on a good OSU team that has produced a couple Centers with potential the last decade, but I still don't see him doing anything other than being a another Sam Bowie player for the Blazer after passing over a sure fire hall of famer (and yes as long as Durant stays healthy I believe he is)</p>

College he was playing against some nice talent, but how many centers did he play that made it to the NBA outside of Horford and Noah? A Center has a much more difficult time becoming a superstar in the NBA then any other position is because of their size. Oden would be lucky to be one day compared to Marcus Camby who has had a very good career as a REB guy and putting up 8 to 13 points a night.</p>

Second Conley hasn't done much himself and the reason he got that contract amazes me. Third you are right about Amar'e he had one I believe and still is good. Kenyon had one in college and then a couple recently and wasn't the same once he got to the Nuggets. Oden has already had two or three knee operations since his first year like 3 years ago.</p>

good season for cy young in the AL. I would have liked Price to win, but Felix had a great season for a crappy team.
-
so Oden is out for the rest of the season. You think Portland is kicking themselves for not draft Durant now?

Dude the yanks are dumb. They could go as low as 3 years 10 mill a year. He wont command much on the open market because of the fact he is so old and had some of his worse numbers. Don't let the gold glove fool you either, he doesn't have the range he use to have.</p><p> </p><p>
I would offer 10-11 mill a year for 3 years take it or leave it. Jeter probably just wants 5 or 6 years because it would put him at 40-42 and since MLB contracts are a sure thing he could play all 6 years suck or get cut and still get all the money he signed for.</p><p> </p><p>
You don't want to lose him and I understand that, he will probably be the first yankee with 3000 hits, but 21 million a year to me at least is crap.</p><p> </p><p>
Also do the Yanks go and get a closer like Soriano this year and have him as the 8th inning person for a year or two until Rivera is ready to hang them up?</p>

I think the Chargers is the easy one to see moving; i also still see there being two teams moving to LA.
I think they will do one for now and see if they will be able to be successful there (which they will) I expect by 2020 we will see two teams in LA
also Nike has the rights to the NFL jersey starting in 2012 and these are some designs that have been hitting the internet

what do you guys think?

Man so Tony Parker just got news he is getting a divorce. This year was looking up for him to. He just got that new fat contract, he's team will be a playoff contender again. Man that sucks for him.

Read a news report saying that the L.A stadium proposal thats on the table right now is closer to being a done deal than any of the proposals the last fifteen years. Right now if the proposal is accepted the stadium would be built around 2015.
Early rumors have the Chargers heading to L.A apparently they have a clause that they can get out of their contract with San Diego any year from now until whenever. Right now the price tag to get out of the contract is at 26 million and each year it decreases. On top of that the family that currently owns the Chargers are shopping around a minority ownership in the team with Goldman and Sachs partnering up with the familiy to sell some of the team.
Of course that being said the Rams lease in the Edwards Jones Dome is up after the 2014 season making a transition to L.A in 2015 easy.
Not too mention Jacksonville rumors persist as well.
I could see the Rams or Chargers, but here is the big reason I see the Chargers.
The new Rams owner is from Miss. so it would be harder for them to move since he has ties their. Again though the all mighty dollar means a lot to people and it would lessen his travel cost for four games each year.
