Well, I've just sat through two hours of
America's Got Talent...that damn show is a filthy addiction. It's like the movie
A Few Good Men. When it's in front of me, I can't turn it off.
Anyway, I have received quite a few submissions from readers, and like an
America's Got Talent judge, I now feel the pressure of who next to move on to the "America Votes" round. I've seen much potential, and will soon be peppering you with samples to give your opinions. Yeah, now I'll be
asking for your opinions. Don't let it go to your heads.
In the meantime, there was a mention in the previous comment thread about desperately wanting a draft analysis. To any of the prospects, if you want to earn extra points with the teacher, give a 2012 NBA draft analysis a try. I'll give you an example...here's a
draft analysis Statbuster did in 2010. You don't need to follow the format. It's just an example. But remember - two things: be cynical, be funny. Yeah, you love basketball. We all do. Now take the love and turn it into playful sarcasm. Tell us what each team is hoping out of its pick, but what each team will actually get.
Writing this assignment will by no means determine who
DOESN'T get picked - after all, who the hell can keep track of these college kids. I just want to see what people are able to turn out.
Also, a thought - there was a notion that different people could write about each NBA team- there's something awesomely gimmicky about that notion. It seems impossible, but what about people who would write about a specific division throughout the season? Just spitballing. We'll iron it out.
And for Christ's sake, somebody Photoshop us a new goddamn banner will ya? Use the dimensions of the existing one and make it happen!
Blog of the people, unite!
Should be fun though. The draft idea is excellent STATBUSTER was spot on with a few exceptions, wall is actually a good player.
If Baron Davis is the only one then Rose is pretty much done and all the hopes and dreams of Chicago?
And, as a side note, well worth entering into America's Got Talent! :D
This use to be a sports website that would ridicule the overpaid segment of society that we all wished we were part of (pro sports).
Now it is referencing one of the indicators of a society that is ready for destruction (like the Roman coliseum).
AGT (cuz I refuse to spell out the complete title) is the entertainment for the SOMA-tablet eaters.
BTW, what about my t-pups trading a 18 for Chase "airbud" Budinger. Fine small move and only ~500 more small moves like that and we could have a contender ;)
Rose won't be the same again ever. This may not be a career ENDING injury, but it's a career CHANGING injury to be sure. Rose was an ultra-quick guard who relied on athleticism. He won't be able square up and blow-by his man like he used to because of this injury. If he is going to remain relevant, he will have to re-invent himself; perhaps as a jump shooter or a pure-passing PG; who knows- maybe he'll develop a few post moves and become the next Marc Jackson? I wouldn't put it past him.
It's sad, though, really. He is (was?) one of the more likeable superstars I can ever remember. He's going to have a tough row to hoe.
