The Roundup: Crazy Neighbors To The North and South
Bullying, Heavy Drinking, NFL, Soccer, WAG, What the hell is wrong with people February 4th. 2010, 8:40am
This is Candice Swanepoel who is attractive enough to have been featured twice this season in the Pigsplosion. And really, isn’t that how all women judge their worth? For posterity, here’s another shot. Just like yesterday I’ll be here this morning and Duffy will take over as the darkness approaches.
Oh, and if you guys are posting comments that aren’t showing up, send me an e-mail and I’ll try and get it unstuck…

Very true. Dude hasn’t won shit, but he gets the kids to buy in. Florida’s class is stupid good, but USC’s is actually better. Just unreal what each of those schools did. Florida’s D-line class might be the best ever in terms of rankings of players. Long way to go until we really know who had the best class, but as of today USC and Florida have to be thrilled.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:02 AM

You know Ohio State fans are freaking out right now because they thought they were getting Henderson and the other OL and missed on both. A team can miss on a RB or a WR and be okay, but you want to land the big hogs on each line if you can. They hurt more I think.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:05 AM
I hate to admit, but what they did is impressive. Of course these kids have to make it to the fall which isn’t always a guarantee. I can’t wait for USC to lose to some bottom-rung Pac-10 team again. I caught Pope Urban on SC last night, his smugness makes Clooney look like Larry the Cable Guy.

The other 5-star guy will likely be just as good. Better defensive coaching at Bama than Cal, for sure.

Not all of em. I saw plenty of “sky is falling” posts on Rivals. I also think it’s funny how the AJC and some UGA fans think this years class is total crap. Signing day always brings out the loons.

Dude was supposed to be the next Andre Smith. If he is, and who really knows, Ohio State does not have someone that good. It’s okay to admit missing out on a stud sucks.
Aint that the truth.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
They’re not going to compete for a title until they tear down the defense and rebuild it. The pass rushing is not what it was and the secondary is pretty pourous, even when Phillips comes back. When they signed Bernard in the offseason, everyone jumped on their nuts, I don’t know maybe Fewell is some kind of mad genius.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:15 AM

we have those HOV lanes where you’re surrounded on both sides of the car by concrete barriers and if you get in it, you’re not getting out until you reach downtown houston and its about 30 miles from the beginning of it. they are stupid as hell and take away from what could be used as another lane or two.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
well yeah, they have to fix the defense. i think there were multiple factors that played into the shittiness of the defense. the dline wasn’t healthy all year, and that was the biggest facotor. but the paper champion thing didn’t make sense. that implies they won a title by default.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
Which cracks me up because if there is one position at UGA where they have plenty of depth and talent, it’s at WR. It sucks losing an in-state kid who was that highly rated, but UGA isn’t one star WR short of a title. They needed d-line depth and they got it. They also announced that Richard Samuel would be a LB now and he will be a fucking star there. He should have never been given the chance to play RB by Richt. To make all of this even better, Rogers may not even qualify. I would have loved him to be UGA’s problem for 3-4 years, but that dude has some toxic shit around him and he is going to be a handful for Dooley.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
I’m happy with ND’s class. Andrew Hendrix was a good get for us, I don;t know how in the world Louis Nix decided to stay after Weis got shitcanned, but he’s going to be a meast.

February 4th, 2010 at 9:24 AM

February 4th, 2010 at 9:26 AM
I just meant that they weren’t winning another title with that version of the team. Paper means they were winning only once, has nothing to do with me being a Pats fan.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:28 AM
That means there’s an awful lot riding on Caleb King and his lady parts.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:28 AM
Not many teams in the salary cap era do win more than one Super Bowl with generally the same roster. The talent’s too evenly spread out.

So happy Cooper chose Nebraska over ND and others. I’ve heard ND did not go hard after him, and that is fine by me. Pelini will make that dude a star at safety. Had Nebraska landed Owa it would have been a great defensive class. Such is life though. Can’t blame a kid for picking Beverly Hills over Lincoln.

I wonder if the Giants will try and deal Umenyora. They have so very many rush ends.
@ cleet, that just made no sense at all. How does “paper” mean what you say it meant?
February 4th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
And Ealey. UGA has plenty of talent at RB, but now they have a 6-2, 220 lb linebacker in Samuel who runs a legit 4.4. Dude was a 5-star LB coming out of high school, but Richt made the mistake of giving him a shot at RB and he was just good enough to not get benched, but then King go healthy and Ealey came to Athens.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
i thought paper champs meant they had a roster everyone chose to win the superbowl but didnt get the job done
February 4th, 2010 at 9:32 AM
OSU not getting Henderson does suck. However, the diva bells start ringing when I hear a kid from Minnesota is flying to New York to publicly announce where he is going to school. He may be great, but I was more than a little turned off with that.
My concern about Ohio State was that they only got 1 OL, regardless of who it is. There should almost always be 2-4 OL in any recruiting class.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Of course not with the same roster. But this is the same system and a lot of the players the Colts had when they last won the title right? I don’t think the Giants win again with their current plan on defense was all I was saying. I was certinaly not being derogatory about the Giants’ title. I was referring to win the Steelers(Plaxico inparticular) referred to the Ravens and Bucs as one time champions, and that’s when Sharpe fired back. Coughlin is going to be out in a few years in my opinion, then they will being in someone(Bettis says Cowher) and rebuild around Eli and his receivers.

February 4th, 2010 at 9:35 AM
I thought that was the term for “paper tiger” but apparently champion means the same thing, lexicon fail on my part. I guess I should have said “one and done”.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:35 AM
Yeah, that kid’s a stud. I can’t stand King though. He’s probably the UGA player I hate the most since Champ Bailey.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:36 AM
Apparently cleet’s comment was an epic fail………….and man I am exhausted today, wish it was Friday. I do have clubseats to the Cavs/Heat game tonight, so I guess it’s ok that it’s still Thursday…
/grabs red bull from spence’s gravatar
February 4th, 2010 at 9:36 AM
Actually it doesn’t mean that, or how Cleet used it. The origin of “paper champion” is a boxing term…it means defending your title against unworthy opponents when there are tougher options out there.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:37 AM
Right on. Getting the hogs is a must in every single class. One class where you don’t get them means you will feel it 2 years down the road on the field. UGA had this happen to them and it meant that one injury on the line really hurt the team. Factor in 3 injuries like they had two years ago, and you’re fucked.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:38 AM

Agree. Great view, great seats. They’re first row too, which is always nice, don’t have to worry about some fat slob blocking your view or something. Not to mention you get waited on in those seats.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:41 AM
I used the wrong term, but I still think my point is valid. After looking into this more(as much as I can at my desk) it appears to have mutliple meanings. There is the boxing term Jay described. The Chinese term paper tiger meaning something appears threatening but isn’t. The Steelers use of it which was to say on paper you have the team but can’t do it on the field, like Texans said. I am just going to back away and go have a v8.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:43 AM
Why would people be againt this?
February 4th, 2010 at 9:43 AM
Heavy airbrushing ruins the picture. I mine as well be watching Avatar with the retouching that is done in a lot of photo shoots.
Kiffin has paid off for USC so far. Great recruiting class and great defensive coordinator. Now lets see what he can do with his young qb and monster LT on offense.
Florida got the two highest rated DT’s. Those guys live up to the hype and no one is running the ball on them from 2011-2013.
February 4th, 2010 at 9:43 AM
So Santreal Henderson’s signing is much ado about nothing??
I’m sure Lane will tap his vast network of USC d-bag’s to make sure the kid becomes eligible.

February 4th, 2010 at 9:46 AM
It’s the same with Rogers from GA. Haven’t qualified yet does not mean they won’t, but it means that there is a chance. Henderson isn’t signing until the 21st anyway because he said he will wait until USC goes before the NCAA tribunal later this month.

We’ve created this though, with all the attention heaped on these kids, both football and basketball. They get wined and dined and told how great they are, so the bar keeps getting raised in how they announce, to massage their egos. Look at the Wall thing last week. They don’t know how to handle negative attention, because they’ve never gotten it.
My favorite is still the kid from Vegas (I think) who called a presser to announce he was going to Cal, and they had never heard of the kid.

it was. That’s why it was my favorite. He said he felt the pressure of telling people all the lies of the schools that were recruiting him, because he wanted to feel “big time”. When signing day came, he panicked and told his coach that Cal gave him an offer, and had the presser in the gym with everybody going crazy.
