Typical Phenom

Bill Simmons posted this in his latest column and I'd thought I'd share it here. It's a foot locker celebrity dunk contest from the early 90's. This is just a clip of highlights, but check out the sickness that is Mike Conley (Gold medalist, son plays point for Ohio State). Also a nice Ken Griffey Jr. dunk and some nice aerial moves from Deion Sanders. Fun clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKDDJH_aU9s

At 6'5 265, I don't see Gaines being made into a linebacker. More than likely, he'll bulk up, add ten or fifteen pounds, and play on the end. Though he reminds me more of Willie Mcginest than anyone, so I'd like to see him drop to 255 and rotate between the end and linebacker spot.

Because someone's got to say it, just to honk off VP: Matt Millen's gotta be looking real close at Johnson... And the Eagles not keeping Garcia is moronic, seriously. He seems to be perfectly content to play a backup role on a winning team, rather than go get his head handed to him on a crappy team...like Cleveland...or Detroit. Not sure what A.J. Feeley's got on everyone that keeps them convinced he'll be a serviceable QB. He's got Heather Mitts. And she's hot in that "Oh my lord, you're ripped" kinda way. If you're into that sorta thing....and I know you are.

Not real sure why the hiring of Turner took place, aside from the fact that he'll bring minimal amounts of change to a franchise that's in good shape. But the firing of Marty made perfect sense once his assistants were gone. He would have ended up hiring assistants and then leaving after next year, which would have left San Diego looking for a new head coach anyway, but being either stuck with Marty's assistants or having to buy out contracts. Once the opportunity presented itself to clear house completely, they jumped on it.

It was one of the NFL Total Access guys, I'm not sure but I think it was Adam Schefter that said it was possible, which doesn't neccesarily mean that it will. He was also the guy who reported that the Raiders were going to fire Art Shell 2 weeks before the season ended, so he's a pretty credible source. The show is going to be replayed tomorrow so I'ma see who said it and post it here.

actually, there are some people saying that it might even be as soon as after the NFL draft, it's a longshot, but it seems like a possibility.

But the thing with Phillips, both head coaching jobs, he left the team worse off than when he took over. Not to mention his winless record in the playoffs. For the Cowboys, I don't like this move.

I'd do it, though I'm still upset I forgot to do UFC 67 predictions.

"It's fun." Ha, that actually made me laugh out loud. Obviously, I'm glad Jordan and Danny got together and I actually liked the input of Wendy. I figured she'd be there for a hook up that would really drive a wedge between Matt and Harriett, but she served a purpose. Edit: Yea, typo.

A-yep. I watched about half an episode, and that was 3/4 an episode more than I needed to see. And the show has serious lack of credibility because of the host. They could have at least tried to get someone people actually gave a damn about when they were active as a performer, not a guy from an act so lame I can't even remember their name despite being into rap back then.

I think by "club", they actually meant the Bengals, not a nightclub. Though I was confused at that part at first too.

85 Bears were the best superbowl team, dominant. As far as last year's HOFers...Reggie White got in, I remember his son and wife. Edit: Confused myself. Aikman, Warren Moon were last year.

I figured it might be South Park Mexican, but you said you loved it instead of him, so I wasn't sure. SPM's alright to listen to, though the last album I heard was 5 or 6 years ago in high school. Didn't he get locked up for pedophilia around that time?
