Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

National Title Game Thread

It's a bear trap with eyes versus Manifest Destiny.

Vs.

1889_1_medium

(The disparity in image size might indicate bias to some. So, full disclosure: My wife's father graduated from Florida and, also, I fucking hate white people)

At first glance, the Gator looks more fearsome, but beware the Sooners and their `shine, small pox blankets and breech loaded rifles.

My wife's making latkes. I'm auditioning a couple beers: Blue Dot and Blind Pig. Be informed, watch my favorite prospect (Duke Robinson) be a monster among men and pre-mourn the coming end of Football Season.

I’m going to unban him at some point, but I want to be sure I never have to ban him again. He’s…grating at times.

Safety help.

You mean the safety is supposed to actually contribute on the field?

I thought they were just there to emit an aura of veteran hustle.

by BrianL on Jan 8, 2009 5:28 PM PST up reply actions  

Is that allowed?

I thought the free safety was just supposed to point and shoot. Isn’t that a union violation?

He's so small.

Makes me think JM is right and that Josh Wilson can be a good safety.

Maybe it just me,

but when he throws the ball, it looks like it weighs more than it should.

by Dukeshire on Jan 8, 2009 5:39 PM PST reply actions  

He's a mid first round pick right now

He’d have to drop a long ways. Think he’s someone the Hawks will target if they’re able to drop down?

by Nate Dogg on Jan 8, 2009 5:50 PM PST up reply actions  

No

But man do I ever think he’ll be a good pro. He’s been a top prospect for so long it’s like there’s prospect fatigue. Then again, Ruskell told the beat reporters you can find top O-line talent later in the draft and you know he’s full of it.

by John Morgan on Jan 8, 2009 5:53 PM PST up reply actions  

I like when Tebow does something

it is so much more than just the play itself. It becomes a transcendent event.

by abender20 on Jan 8, 2009 7:44 PM PST reply actions  

excepting for the small fact that he will not be a good nfl QB

but that’s moot. I heard some scout say he could be converted to a linebacker in the NFL. How mental is that?

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!

by abender20 on Jan 8, 2009 7:47 PM PST up reply actions  

Is it crazy?

QB’s get moved to safety sometimes and Tebow would be big enough to handle lineback. He’s not afraid of contact, he’s smart, fast enough and certainly isn’t going to cut it as a QB.

by Nate Dogg on Jan 8, 2009 7:50 PM PST up reply actions  

he has never played linebacker.

Why would you draft someone to play a position theyd never played before (and its not like taking a QB to wideout… moving him to DEFENSE!). Why would you not just draft a wideout.

Great, another injury

Tebow runs way too much, which made me think

Could Mora be watching this and thinking “With Tebow I could once again have the #1 rushing game in the NFL”?

I am not serious, but it is a scary thought.

no no no no no no please no no no.

luckily, tebow will definitely go back to school. He will end up one of the greatest college players ever.

Holy goat balls

I was looking at ESPN’s scouting by position, Duke Robinson is ranked 1st at guard and he’s listed as 6’5.5" 335, which is HUGE.
2nd rated prospect? Herman Johnson from LSU who’s listed as 6’6 7/8" and 391 pounds! How can he even move??
