Does anyone think T-Storm is doing this right about now?

So many things. We seem to be having a problem with individuals putting a list of hot girls together. I know that we all have better things to do, but it's not that hard, you can email it to me, whatever you need.


Mavs: I've never been more proud as a sports fan than I was when the clocked ticked to zero in that Mav's overtime victory. I couldn't sleep for a couple of hours. Everything about it was genius. The problem is that this is short-lived and the Suns look tough. This is how my mind works. After the Mavs won, I couldn't go to sleep so, sometimes to help me put to sleep I try and rattle off as many starting NBA lineups as I can. When I first thought about Phoenix, I thought that there's no way that the Mavs can really match up with these guys. The guards, hopefully, are a push. Howard and Diaw or Marion. Dirk and Thomas or Diaw or Marion. Dampier? There is no place for him in this series. It would be a completely different story if Damp had a low post game where he could get guys into foul trouble, but that's not what he does. We've been told for a very long time that to beat the best you have to play "playoff" basketball. Now I fear that two plodding centers are going to ruin our shot at a championship.

Cowboys News:

This is a really good breakdown of the Cowboys 2 TE offense. Please read (courtesy of Blogging the Boys).

The Boys Blog talks about which players are ready for the Probowl and a really good discussion about the 3-4 defense.

This is funny every time I watch it:

Shizzle Chick Explanation/ Top 16

HERE IS THE RUNDOWN OF HOW THE 2006 K-TOWN SHIZZLE CHICK VOTING IS GOING TO WORK. THE FOLLOWING IS A RECENT EXPLANATION BY THE SEAL ON HOW WE NEED TO HANDLE IT. MY TOP 16 ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. PUPPY'S WAS A FEW POST AGO. DAN AND SEAL, GET CRACKIN.

SEAL Wrote:

Okay, we have everybody vote on their top 16 chicks from first to last. Then we score these groups all together based on their ranking in each committee members voting, thus the four girls with the lowest scores will be our number one seeds and the four girls with the next lowest scores will be our number two's, and so on. At the end of this we should have all our number 1 though number 4 seeds, which I believe are the most crucial. There will obviously be a bunch of girls that won't make it into the top 16 b/c everybody will not have the same girls in their top16 list, these girls will be dropped to the at large list, which I will now explain in the following paragraph.

In addition to the top 16 chicks ranking, everyone will also put out an at large list. It could be 20 more girls, it could be 48 girls, it could be 500 girls, whatever. We take all the girls listed and put them into an excel spreadsheet and give them a point everytime their name appears in a committee members at large list. At the end of this process we should have a big fuckin list of hot chicks with a score by their name, we take the top 48 chicks off this list(with the 16 from above, we have a total of 64 now), put them into a box, have Hetty wet the tip of his babies arm and drop it in there, pulling out one name at a time and placing that name into our bracket at a predetermined order.

I have said it, and so it shall be done. My excel abilities are available for a small fee.-SEAL

STETTY'S TOP 16: In no particular order

1.*** Alessandra Ambrosio

We'll work on the at large bids later. First everyone needs to post their top 16.

On another note, Grego came by the house the other night and was really tired. I told him to just go into the other room and lay down for a while. He agreed. He looked so peaceful that I had to go ahead and take a picture of him napping.

I Hate The Spurs

In 30 seconds, this is why Alba is #1. Bring it.

I hate the Spares. I hate Manu. I hate how Duncan whines every time he thinks he's fouled. I hate how Bowen is allowed to hand-check and no one else can breathe on Duncan. I hate everything about them.

I was disappointed with yesterday's game, not because we lost but because we had a clear chance to win it or at least tie and we never gave ourselves an opportunity. Game 2 will be different.

Blue's Sweet 16

Okay, that's my list, it's taken some time, but maybe Hetty will stop the whining. If a lady is linked then simply google her name, I can't do all of the work.

This was a great post from The Boys Blog and I thought I should just link it, but I think everyone knows by now that if it's linked then no one will read it. It makes me think, what if Dallas really is going to revolutionize offense, no defense can keep up with two stud receivers and two stud tight ends:

"On Saturday no Cowboys pick caused more head scratching than the selection of TE in the second round. Pundits were uniformly impressed with Fasano’s skills, but wondered why a team already sporting Pro Bowler Jason Witten would identify tight end as a need? Much of the criticism the Cowboys received was based on the perception that Fasano is a luxury.

He isn’t. It’s not in Bill Parcells’ nature to be daring and experimental with his offense, but Fasano represents a possible evolution in the use of tight ends, one not yet seen in the NFL. If Dallas succeeds with its track-meet tight ends the team could change the way modern passing games play.

The two TE system as we know it has been around for about a generation. It started with Don Coryell and his high flying “Air Coryell” Chargers teams of the late ’70s and ’80s. One of the mad scientists on Coryell’s staff was a young running backs coach named Joe Gibbs, who took the system to Washington in 1981. As NFC East fans will tell you, the rest is history. The system became associated with Gibbs, who won three Super Bowls running it.

That said, neither Coryell or Gibbs ran the system Dallas teases in 2006. In San Diego, Coryell relied on the otherworldly skills of Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow. Winslow was one of the first great deep threats from the position. For his other tight end, however, Coryell was content to use utility men like Eric Seivers, who could block well but was not a threat as a receiver. In the Chargers’ most effective seasons Winslow would top 1,000 yards and triple the output of all the other San Diego TEs.

In Washington, Gibbs used his TEs as grinders. Don Warren was the most prolific Washington tight end of the glory ’80s but he never cracked 500 yards receiving. Gibbs used his receivers to stretch defenses vertically and when he wanted to put extreme pressure on a secondary he would use three WRs in his base packages.

No modern offense that I’m aware of utilized two tight ends with serious receiving skills. Every coach using two TEs remained faithful to the original Coryell philosophy that one TE was used primarily as a blocker while the other was used as a receiving threat.

A rules change in recent years has dared NFL offensive coordinators to rethink this approach. The league has cracked down on linebackers’ practice of riding TEs down the field, limiting contact in the center of the field as it is limited for cornerbacks on the perimeter. The new rules have produced an explosion in TE productivity. Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez have had seasons to rival quality WRs. Witten came an eyelash short of 1,000 receiving yards in 2004.

With analysts dubbing TE the new glamour position, it was only a matter of time before a team or teams put two TEs with legitimate receiving skills on the field for extended periods of time. What surprises many, I believe, is that Parcells is doing the innovating. Fasano won’t be used to spell Witten, nor will he serve in a platoon with FB Lousaka Polite, as blocking TE Dan Campbell did last season. Fasano will be a regular.

The possibilities of such a package are mouth watering. Jerry Jones offered a hint of what will come when he said the Cowboys planned to line up Fasano on the same side as Terrell Owens, while Witten would play next to Terry Glenn in balanced two-TE sets.

I asked a coach the benefits of this package and got this response,

I would imagine that the Cowboys are concerned that teams will roll their coverage to TO’s side. To put two dangerous options on the other side of the field leaves opponents with a no-win decision: leave both Witten and Glenn to work against the short-handed side or play a more straight-up coverage and try to contend with T.O., and we know what T.O. will typically do to straight coverage.

Of course, Witten will present the standard matchup nightmare in man-to-man or deep middle threat in cover two, and Glenn eats single coverage alive. Potentially exciting stuff. I submit that, based upon what Glenn did to single coverage last year, we may just have the best #2 receiver in the league next year (not to mention perhaps the best #1).

Glenn had the best yards-per-reception average for any receiver with more than 50 catches, averaging 18.3 yards per catch. Owens can also get deep. Witten showed deep speed in 2004 when Glenn was injured. The Cowboys relied on Witten to stretch defenses more than Keyshawn Johnson, who was playing with torn knee cartilage and Witten thrived.

Fasano isn’t regarded as a burner, but he’s all but guaranteed single coverage against linebackers in this scheme. He’s regarded as the best all around TE in the deep ‘06 college class, so he should have the skills to cause some damage. His learning curve will be shorter, since the Cowboys offense is similar to the scheme Fasano played at Notre Dame, under former Parcells assistant Charlie Weis.

If Fasano’s pro play even vaguely resembles his last season for the Irish, the only people left scratching their heads will be NFL defensive coordinators."

I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PARTICIPATION LATELY ON THE K-TOWN SHIZZLE. THIS HAS GOT TO PICK UP AND I MEAN NOW!

How can this succeed if you don't give it your all. You guys are better than this. Especially Puppy and SEAL. I'm very disappointed.

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice!

Ok, I don't know what is taking so long to get this Shizzle Chick thing off the ground but we need to get rolling. My pants are in a constant uproar, and are going crazier than ever. Speaking of that, has anybody out there seen that new singer "Rihanna"? Wow, are you kidding me? I can't post any pictures of her at the moment but go to her myspace page and check her out.

She is officially the hottest woman of color on the planet. Greg is going to love this! We all know about his inner yearning to be in the sack with an ebony goddess. And goddess she is. I have dibs and I'm in love. She is a dark Mrs. Spears (in her prime of course).

Enjoy, but not too much.
