What would Snoop Say?

Do you ever sit around thinking to yourself, what would Snoop D-o-g-g say in this situation... I know I do...

So click here to translate your favorite website into snoop speak. I suggest doing this with blogs because the more content the funnier it can be. Caution: this could have cuss words in it.

Insert Joke Here (I've toned down this title)...

NBA "Players" in Olympics

I just read an article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5851082/) that said Allen Iverson (AI) ripped the NBA players who didn't show up for the olympics. For the first time in my life, I agree with AI. It should be an honor for the players who were asked, but instead a whole bunch of the best stars turned them down. I have respect for the players who went (and lost) for going.

I have no respect for the men who picked this team. I'm not much of an NBA fan (although I love college ball,), but shouldn't a GM focus on picking a "team". The word team would normally include shooters, defensive specialists, true point guards, etc... Not just a whole bunch of players who are slashers and althletic. Under international basketball rules, I don't think that a bunch of slashers and a team of poor shooters is going to win against the zone and teams that play together as a "Team".

Oh well, hopefully this will show some people that having a bunch of athletes doesn't necessarily build a great team, there is skill also involved.

PS... Are you listening Quin Snyder.. YOU NEED POINT GUARDS WHO CAN PASS. A TEAM FULL OF 6 PLAYERS WHO PLAY EITHER THE 2 OR THE 3 ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT IN THE BIG 12.

PPS... I love Mizzou basketball and I respect Quin and his recruiting ability, but why hasn't he been able to recruit point guards... You figure a guy who played the positiion might just realize that it is important.

1st Ram's Post of the Year

I watched most of the game last night and was impressed. Not that the preseason means anything. The preseason is so meaningless I could have written how horrible this team looks just five days agao.

Anyway, I think this team is going to be 10-6 if the offensive (and I mean offensive) line holds up. Maybe 11-5, maybe 9-7 but right around there...

Random Thoughts:
Stephen Jackson looks like a future star out of the Ricky Watters mold, big, fast, and a good receiver.

Torry Holt is amazing and could be the best receiver in the NFL.

Mark Bulger will be fine this year, I predict 25+ touchdowns, 3700 yds passing, 15 ints. Not bad stats at all.

Orlando Pace (Mr. I want 25 million dollar signing bonus and I play left tackle, and I'm not the best left tackle in the leage..) throws a party for his teammates and plans to come into camp this week. I am so tired of this situation, I wish they could trade him and get close to equal value. He is a good tackle, not the best, but in the top 5. But he keeps killing this team by really only playing 12 good games each year. It takes him a good 4 games (or at least it did last year) to get up to speed after missing training camp. If I was his teammate I would flip!!! I would tell him to sign his Measly 7 million dollar contract for this year and get his but on the team...

Also, this site (http://www.grand-illusions.com/monty.htm) talks about counter intuitive mathematics (specifically the "monty hall problem"). This counter-intuitive math is similar to the problem created by three guys and the hotel (http://www.cyberspace.org/~n8rxs/math.html)
this one never makes sense to me, no matter how hard you examine it.
