There must be numbers from some marketing genius somewhere that show that every time his face appears on TV, two more hicks in Arkansas buy bags of Cheetos and five more pill-popping trailer housewives decide to blow off making home lunches and spend their welfare checks feeding their kids at Applebee’s. I guess I understand it. Football skills aside, Favre is, wrapped in one package, everything that attracts the attention of the superfluous sports hack: an emotional story line about a deceased “hero” dad; an activist, cancer-surviving wife who likes the camera and who never hesitates to go on at length about her and her husband’s “awesome” relationship; an inspirational recovery from pill addiction; a willingness to go on air with Greta Van Susteren; and a seemingly endless, once-a-year, will-he-or-won’t-he retirement controversy. Favre is also a half-literate white southerner who played in the northern Midwest (from a marketing point of view, he’s like both halves of a presidential ticket), giving him natural appeal to all the key demographics. As much as I can’t stand Favre, I’m hoping he outlives me, because the Tim Russert effect after his death would be overwhelming.</p><div></div></blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div></span></div>GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633440885634885462.post-85643053526461909182009-03-11T16:08:00.001-05:002009-03-11T16:09:48.551-05:00Offered Without CommentOh, <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96RA7F82&show_article=1">wow</a>.<br /><blockquote><span class="lingo_region">CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) - Seven employees at a state-run home for the mentally disabled have been suspended for allegedly staging a "fight club" among residents. </span></blockquote>GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633440885634885462.post-82980853400589536522009-02-22T15:42:00.009-06:002009-02-23T12:26:39.243-06:00TGRWT #15: Smoked Salmon & Dark Chocolate<span style="font-weight: normal;">One of our favorite food blogs, <a href="http://blog.khymos.org/">Khymos</a></span>, <span style="font-weight: normal;">runs a monthly event called "They Go Really Well Together."

I wanted to make sure that the two featured ingredients were, well, featured. While the dark chocolate was assertive but not overpowering in the fairly simple mole, I thought I needed to up the chocolate factor a bit. The the shavings provided little bursts of chocolaty flavor, but weren't a distraction. The salmon/cream cheese cigars had a fantastic taste and consistency. Note that the lemon adds a needed hit of acid and lightness, and the sesame/chile oil helped tie everything together.<br /><br />The only knock on the dish was that the phyllo wrappers weren't quite crisp enough. Were I to make these again, I'd probably use a slightly higher temp on the cigars, crisp them in a skillet, or substitute egg roll wrappers or puff pastry. A crunchy wrapper would make this a real winner.<br /></div></div>GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633440885634885462.post-52957876347661919292009-01-16T18:22:00.006-06:002009-01-16T18:44:42.777-06:00Oops, I Crapped My Pants<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhad5BKEUci7vpyTJYfEPKeETTVSN8rqwkygi3ozxnS5Gs-XRvtNllpwfyrJruNJaADULiAPQqyue1yjmWq4kRjtsXK1rILLePoUUf2bNkSgdUIU8-aBXjyWHY9ceMNaVs2JzAminH2oyk/s1600-h/Doody-Leg+Redacted.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluCkvk-LNxN-HVxDM7w7TyrbYXiUtJqOGUwWrcirhDrnhluaGvV8s1lhCb6Y8JD-QemMiAXYpEiM_P4d_oKxpnQg3i-q-mIIVJAmphhA_h4YifY9lSlMRtkxfzUmjRaFEuz45TUHfnRID/s400/Doody-Leg+Redacted.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292052521685489986" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >(click pic for hi-res</span><span style="font-style: italic;">)</span><br /><br /></div>For those of you who are not up to date on this story, it appears that at a tailgate for the BCS National Championship game, an AOPi from the University of Florida ... <a href="http://georgiasports.blogspot.com/2009/01/stay-classy-gainesville-miami-edition.html">weeeelll</a>:<br /><blockquote style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;font-size:13;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">Received via third-hand email: "My friend saw this girl squatting near his tailgate for the [national championship] game [Thursday] night and thought she was just pissing until she stood up and came over to talk to them.

Perhaps some of you hoops diehards can clue me in on a couple of things:<br /><ol><li>Why the hell does CBS (or the NCAA, if that's who is making the decisions) run multiple games at the same time? I get the fact that they don't want their viewers stuck watching a blowout, but it sort of sucks that 75% of the country didn't get to watch one second of O.J. Mayo in the tournament. And don't give me some crap about how spacing out the games (even to the extent of adding extra days) would hurt revenue at the arenas, cause travel problems, or hurt the "students'" academics -- ticket sales are chump change, logistic problems are solvable, and basketball players don't go to class. Assuming the games are valuable ratings-grabbers ... wouldn't you want to show more of them?<br /></li><li>Who is the midget playing for Xavier?<br /></li></ol>GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633440885634885462.post-19494079860062763852008-03-27T12:52:00.005-05:002008-12-11T14:45:47.643-06:00Mr. McFadden's No Good, Very Bad Day<blockquote><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23814032/">MSNBC</a>:<br /><br />Reid, Turley and Lieb are among more than 800 customers who responded to the first wave of marketing for do-it-yourself DNA paternity tests sold as Identigene by Sorenson Genomics of Salt Lake City.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Results are reported online, by phone or by mail in three to five business days.

Again, I think pulling any conclusions from the weekend slate of games is silly, and WE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF THE MIDWEEK GAME.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-htYPOwiwkp52GSZa6tJmyHZ7Pwl_xLDDvAHj1ZG4VNiX5-h06Zn3lWXm4Z15Y_8hHEX4TH4dYTjp2sxsqx84c1an7jQtOX47vfHaae3IgqjLqrY3oDXcLJafoVdK7MI_6zH2l58v1-GU/s1600-h/020107_baseball1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-htYPOwiwkp52GSZa6tJmyHZ7Pwl_xLDDvAHj1ZG4VNiX5-h06Zn3lWXm4Z15Y_8hHEX4TH4dYTjp2sxsqx84c1an7jQtOX47vfHaae3IgqjLqrY3oDXcLJafoVdK7MI_6zH2l58v1-GU/s400/020107_baseball1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181823965124595490" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">HITTERS:</span><br /></span> <table str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 400px; height: 531px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 67pt;" width="89"> <col style="width: 29pt;" width="39"> <col style="width: 34pt;" width="45"> <col style="width: 29pt;" span="2" width="39"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl23" style="height: 12.75pt; width: 67pt;" height="17" width="89"><br /></td> <td class="xl23" style="width: 29pt;" width="39"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">AVG</span></td> <td class="xl23" style="width: 34pt;" width="45"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">SLG%</span></td> <td class="xl23" style="width: 29pt; font-weight: bold;" width="39"> OB%</td> <td class="xl23" style="width: 29pt;" width="39"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">EqA</span></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl23" style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17">Jared Dyer</td> <td class="xl23" num="0.375" align="right">0.375</td> <td class="xl23" num="0.55600000000000005" align="right">0.556</td> <td class="xl23" num="0.41299999999999998" align="right">0.413</td> <td class="xl23" num="0.30780690003587985" align="right">0.308</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl23" style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17">W.

Even during his early-season "slump," he still showed enough plate patience to be a valuable cog in the lineup. Now that his "traditional" stats (AVG, power numbers, etc.) are coming around, he's headed towards a monster season.<br /></li><li>WoMac Revival, baby! We're still hearing rumors about hitches in swings and bad approaches at bat, but they're easy to dismiss with the numbers he's been putting up. Watch closely when we start to see some decent pitching, though -- if the numbers bottom out, the problems aren't fixed.<br /></li><li>Prince. Let's be clear -- he's in the lineup because he plays good defense and he hit .371/.448/.449. in 89 ABs with Texas last year. At what point, though, does past performance have to be disqualified as a fluke? I'm not saying we should give up on him yet -- the sample size of ABs is still a bit low -- but RJ better be working on a backup plan, because Tulane's lineup doesn't have enough pop to hide a gaping black hole.</li><li>Again, I'll believe that we're a good offensive club when we hit against a team with a pulse.</li></ol>GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633440885634885462.post-19496155726871067252008-03-25T18:29:00.000-05:002008-03-25T18:28:15.131-05:00Tulane Baseball Update: The Pitchers: March 25<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span> <table str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 412px; height: 307px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 62pt;" width="83"> <col style="width: 26pt;" width="34"> <col style="width: 27pt;" width="36"> <col style="width: 29pt;" width="39"> <col style="width: 31pt;" span="2" width="41"> <col style="width: 35pt;" width="46"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td style="height: 12.75pt; width: 62pt; font-weight: bold;" height="17" width="83">Player</td> <td class="xl24" style="width: 26pt; font-weight: bold;" width="34">ERA</td> <td class="xl24" style="width: 27pt; font-weight: bold;" width="36"> BB/9</td> <td class="xl24" style="width: 29pt; font-weight: bold;" width="39"> K/9</td> <td class="xl25" style="width: 31pt; font-weight: bold;" width="41">WHIP</td> <td class="xl25" style="width: 31pt; font-weight: bold;" width="41">dERA</td> <td class="xl25" style="width: 35pt; font-weight: bold;" width="46">BABIP</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17">S.

This is a component-based stat, so think of it as what a pitcher's ERA <span style="font-style: italic;">should </span>be.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Observations:</span><br /><ol><li>dERA seems to think Petition, Broach, and Griffin are pitching a bit over their heads. High walk rates are the culprit for Petition and Broach, while Griffin's BABIP (batting average on balls in play) may be unsustainably low.</li><li>Don't get your panties in a bunch over Shooter's jump up from ERA to dERA. The system is designed for a long season, and not league or park adjusted (yet). That said, it's unlikely that Shooter's BABIP stays quite that low, and he is walking quite a few people.</li><li>Loup may deserve a little more credit than he's getting. If he can bump that K rate a bit, he could look great on paper. Anyone know whether Loup is a primarily groundball pitcher? Just curious, but that could explain his relatively high BABIP and low K rate.</li><li>Our defense is quite good, judging by these statistics. According to dERA, it is saving us about 1 run a game, which is an enormous number. I'm going to recheck a few things this weekend -- the discrepancy may have something to do with variances between the college and major league game (I used MLB rate stats in the calculation).<br /></li><li>Shooter Hunt is getting some great press across the internets, and it was nice to see my new favorite site, Saberscouting, <a href="http://saberscouting.com/2008/03/22/scouting-report-shooter-hunter/">run a feature on him</a>.</li></ol><blockquote><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Pitch - Present Grade/Future Grade <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">[ed. note: baseball scouting is done on a 20-80 scale]</span><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Fastball - 65/70</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Curveball - 65/65</b></span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Changeup - 45/50</b></span></p> <span style="font-size:85%;"><b>Command - 45/50<br /><br />...<br /></b></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Power pitcher but struggles with command in spurts.

At this point, we're talking about a top-15 pick, assuming he holds up against better competition.

He's started three games this season, but really hasn't stretched out at all, pitching only 13 innings total (he also made a relief appearance). He appears to be a pretty solid pitcher, but don't look for him to go much past 3. After him, SELA has a mishmash of average middle relievers. Efferson, their other midweek starter (who we may see tonight) has been knocked around this season. Hitting-wise, SELA has a core of Hargis-Summerlin-Street, and not much else. They should be out of their depth tonight, but remember that they did knock off LSU earlier this season (throwing a weekend starter, granted).<br /><br />UAB is the weekend matchup, and it should be a nice way to start the conference season for Tulane. UAB has more or less been beaten like a drum by anyone and everyone this year, and they haven't exactly played great competition. First baseman Ryan Keedy is having a monster of a year, and Bell and Stewart are average players, but the rest of the team might as well be swinging wet newspapers. On the mound, Wallace and Klostkowski are decent starters, but UAB is a giant question mark after that. 9 different pitchers have started games; 8 others have pitched in relief. This should be a perfect week -- anything less would be a disappointment.GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633440885634885462.post-10567734531827511272008-03-24T15:10:00.003-05:002008-03-24T15:23:51.969-05:00Atonement, ContinuedThis has been kicking around various sites, but we've watched it at least twelve times and it's still making us laugh. Summary: Patrick Roy's (he's a famous hockey goalie, apparently) son's hockey team gets in a fight, and Junior wants to participate. The other goalie isn't wild about the whole fighting thing, but Roy solves that problem by beating the ever living crap out of him.

We'll see if this continues. Scelfo, on the other hand, continues to produce despite ugly "traditional" stats.<br /></li><li>The pitching is deep and dominant. It'll be interesting to see if Loup does well against better competition this week.</li><li>Broach's peripherals still look terrible. Watch him closely.<br /></li><li>I'll believe all of these Candyland fantasies when we perform against a team with a pulse.<br /></li></ol>Shooter Hunt, 2008 All-American and top-15 draft pick. Sound about right? Anyway, we have another "baseball team" coming to slaughter this weekend in Sacred Heart ... and of course there's that meaningless midweek game.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZzbtv0tWYZZXWOTDgkKXXxZhVA8P11SQKwcNOSS158H7WFGveP_PGcC9FUeIfPvyxjP7gvvQBcKGXEKY1MqzxV2tLDcsSp8bQTgpWb8eDLi3Q3geJUMC6PnlG0PmDB8C9DoeuTK2pfzR/s1600-h/lsucks_large.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzZzbtv0tWYZZXWOTDgkKXXxZhVA8P11SQKwcNOSS158H7WFGveP_PGcC9FUeIfPvyxjP7gvvQBcKGXEKY1MqzxV2tLDcsSp8bQTgpWb8eDLi3Q3geJUMC6PnlG0PmDB8C9DoeuTK2pfzR/s400/lsucks_large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178759307325012194" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Go to Hell, LSU!</span></span><br /></div>GGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335265907697499994noreply@blogger.com1
