Terrence Cody Failed a Conditioning Test
Fat, NFL, Video July 27th. 2010, 6:15pm
Terrence Cody, the portly nose tackle from Alabama selected by the Ravens in the 2nd round of the draft, flunked a conditioning test today. Here’s a picture of health Cody being his large self. It has not been digitally altered.
The Ravens, a fashionable Super Bowl pick following the acquisition of Anquan Boldin and a good draft, have stumbled this month – 2nd round pick Sergio Kindle fell down the stairs and is in the hospital; all-world safety Ed Reed probably won’t be ready until October, and now Cody will need a trip to fat camp. The Ravens open the season on Monday Night Football in seven weeks against the Jets in week one’s most anticipated matchup. Vegas has made the Jets 3-point favorites. [Sun]
Here’s a video of the Jets in the playoffs, for all the Gang Green fans.

I believe you have picture Andre Smith…but they all look alike.

The belly button looks like a mouth and the nipples look like eyes. That’s all I’ve got.

his shirt is off so he can run faster?
July 27th, 2010 at 6:24 PM
Ed Reed isn’t what he was anyway. That defense was reinvigorated the last couple years because of Ngata. When he is out, then the Ravens can worry.

I was gonna say that dude looks awfully like Andre Smith from last year. Cody has dreads, no? Oh, and is way fatter.

The conditioning test is a sprinting tests, I would imagine that it is not a lose weight but a get his legs under him issue.

RE: Lebron
If you think I should make my job harder for no financial gain then you can go fuck yourself. I’m so tired of this shit. Sure if you’re a reporter, or a cop, or a politician and there is a story, or a case, or an issue you believe in that might make your life difficult I get that. That is, frankly, something that might actually matter. But you’re not supposed to play for the best team possible because Bill Simmons is gonna act like you’re a bitch? Who wouldn’t want to go live in Miami tax free to play with A. great players and B. your friends? You’re not gonna enjoy your life because some old men who all played with great players anyway are gonna act superior? You’re not gonna do it because some sportswriters are gonna act like you’ve betrayed a competitive balance that doesn’t actually exist? The way he shit on Cleveland was stupid but beyond that I agree with none of it. Go Heat. Go Heat.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:53 PM

July 27th, 2010 at 7:54 PM
It’s my dream to be on Jeopardy. Only so I could tell the douchiest story possible when Alex interviews me after the first break. And then when I win, I want to whisper “suck it nerds”, and then give them the DX suck it gesture.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:55 PM
Am I wrong?
July 27th, 2010 at 7:55 PM
that’s an awesome score. Far better than I could do I’m sure.
I think the interview on Jeopardy would be the worst part. I couldn’t have any stories on there that weren’t douchetastic.

trebeck called my friend “a little shit” off air because of the interview. I hesitate to bring this up because I can’t remember exactly what he did. He was supersmarmy the whole time. I think its cause he’s muslim, really.
July 27th, 2010 at 7:58 PM
Clearly not, he’s been playing hurt for at least two years, and even then, he’s still better than almost every safety around. That nerve problem in his neck is troublesome, but I think his hip injury has been the real problem. Luckily, he had major surgery to get that fixed. I’d rather him miss the first six games and get back to 100% for the first time in years. I just hope he can come back from this hip problem.
But he’s still my favorite football player ever.

chances are Jersey that all 3 people know all the answers to the vast majority of the questions, too. They just don’t all three get to answer. Sometimes you get one that all 3 miss, and that’s fun, especially if you knew it. But the buzzer is the key to that game as much as the minutiae.

quick question, not trying to start a riot – anyone follow keith law on twitter?
he was going off on omar vizquel yesterday. i’m not sure why. his basic argument: Vizquel is no HOFer. he never really got into WHY he thought that, though. i never saw a link, either (might have missed it).
my question – did Law pick like his 3 favorite stats and say, ‘well, Vizquel doesn’t grade well on this, forget him?’
or
did somewhere along the line someone (Bill James?) say, ‘well, these 3 stats matters most’ … (follow ups: a) who said that certain stats mattered more than others? b) why has this person put more value in certain stats (x, y, z) and completely written off others (j, k, L)?

Omar Vizquel is not a hall of famer. why? cause he’s not. i can use stats and the eye test to prove that. great fielder though.

There are no stats that make Vizquel a Hall of Famer. The only stat that even kind of, sort of, does is fielding percentage, and it is, more so than perhaps any stat, meaningless.

frankly, my questions were less about Vizquel, and more about the process of “stats” (ie, who determines which ones matter, why others, and how you can put more value in one stat instead of another)
No one stat tells you everything. There isn’t a perfect one. What happened with Law is someone asked him if Vizquel was a Hall of Famer, he said no, and then presumably he got a deluge of Cleveland fans calling him names, so he responsed over and over, and then wrote something about it. As far as stats the ones that the player has control over are the ones that matter most. As we learn new things (presumably) the old gets discarded for the new. There is no holy grail, there is just learning and improving.

Well, a lot of stats are flawed and/or rely on other players to perform. A good stat will either make it easy to compare them against the rest of the league on average or just isolate the players individual stats.
I probably made that statement too complicated.
That’s why I don’t like stats for football. I don’t understand how to do individual stats.

I think the eye lies. I have no idea how managing a pitching staff works (compare this to Leo Mazzone’s hall of fame pitching coach time with the Braves vs. when he went to the Orioles) and I don’t put much stock in it since they’ve yet to find longterm that it actually exists. I think Yadi is one of the best defensive catchers I’ve ever seen, yes. “They” would be the people who are just attempting to figure out what actually happened without the interest in attaching a narrative to what actually happened.

IMO, and only my opinion, Omar Vizquel excelled at his profession to a degree that I think few other players did which makes him worthy of being enshrined and thus remembered so. If Yadi continued on the current path, I’d say the same for him.

I’ve seen Wainwright pitch 3 times this year. Every time he’s given up at least 4 runs. I need to make a point of watching him pitch more.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:01 PM
ha, i can still recall SI’s story on him back in the day. when he wanted to get drunk he had to drink two fifths of something and a case of beer. they showed a pic of him holding a beer can; it was almost lost in his hand
According to legend he drank 82 bottles of red wine a day. I get the impression that fifty is more reasonable along with other stuff. Bret Hart has a hilarious story in his book about seeing him fuck.

It seems kinda odd that you’re caught up on WHO “approves” these stats, like there’s some kind of Stonecutters cult that says yay or nay to them. Different stats say different things, some say more, some say less. If youre interested in knowing why some stats are perceived as being more important, then look into what goes into some of the formulas that create them.
For example, OPS+ is often used because it takes a hitter’s ability to get on base and hit for power while adjusting for the league and the ballparks he’s played in. Plus it’s user friendly because its calculated in a way that an even 100 = average. For example, Pujols’ OPS+ is 158 this year. Jeter’s is 99 so far. Nick Punto’s is 75.

I enjoyed it while it was on, as long as you don’t think of it as a terminator movie. Looking at book of eli on top of my Blu-Ray right now with a feeling of fear.
Way to go Wainwright… You jackass
Assuming this is fantasy bitching quite the control you’ve taken.

My military service was a joke and hopefully won’t be mentioned here again.

Who invaded Spain in the 8th century?
The Moors. Only to be defeated by Rick Martel’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather at Tours.

He did a good job with that (especially in the NWA days) but he was such a friggin dork. Remember when he came out in his leather jacket shilling Surge in the late 90s? Also he had a bad bad habit of never calling the actual match in the ring, being too busy blathering about whatever.
Still, his voice had that extra level that made things 100 times more exciting. Like at the end of WW3 in 97, “Luger’s taking on everyone!! Luger’s a Superman!!” He was the anti Joe Buck

Can the American Leauge central just stop all games and have the HoodSox and Twinks play a one game playoff to see who makes it to the postseason. That would be much better than being subjected to second half Detroit Tigers.

sorry ballz. didnt know
July 27th, 2010 at 9:46 PM
Continental United States
Because Alaska is also on the North American continent, the term continental United States, if interpreted literally, should also include that state,[7] so the term is sometimes qualified with the explicit inclusion or exclusion of Alaska to resolve any ambiguity.[8][3][9][10][11] The term was in use prior to the admission of Alaska and Hawaii as states of the United States, and at that time usually excluded outlying territories of the U.S.[12][13] However, even before Alaska became a state, it was sometimes included within the “Continental US”.[14]
July 27th, 2010 at 9:46 PM
sorry ballz. didnt know
You don’t have to be sorry, dude.

July 27th, 2010 at 9:47 PM
Also he had a bad bad habit of never calling the actual match in the ring, being too busy blathering about whatever.
I think this was more WCW’s call but yeah 1996-1998 if the match didn’t involve the NWO he didn’t talk about it.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:47 PM
remember that Hall and Nash (not to be confused with the great duo Hall & Oates)said they had another member. so when Hogan showed up at the end, the crowd was going nuts thinking he was there to get rid of the Outsiders. Then Heenan said something like “maybe it’s hogan!”
July 27th, 2010 at 9:47 PM
Ballz. You’re not winning this one. The continental US = the lower 48 states. Ask 100 people what they think ‘continental US’ means, and that is what all 100 would reply.

I was either at that WW3 or the /98 edition. Needless to say, that was a great thing to watch live – the three ring battle royal was a good gimmick.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:49 PM
Holy Fuck, Ballz, you’re the only fucking person on the face of God’s green earth that did not know what I was talking about. But for future reference, we should make sure to use Lower 48 states.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:49 PM
Well, then they don’t know what the word ‘continent’ means, then.

July 27th, 2010 at 9:56 PM
Take a step back and read the the thread, Ballz. You kept arguing alaska after everyone told you the lower 48. then all of a sudden you say Northwest Angle. Sorry man, I can’t take it seriously that you just need the question to be asked what is the most northern part of the lower 48 states. it’s not just you, ballz. i don’t trust anyone with trivia on the internet.

Sorry man, I can’t take it seriously that you just need the question to be asked what is the most northern part of the lower 48 states.
Continental US. Alaska is part of said continent. Point Barrow jumped in my mind, and being an experienced trivia buff, I went with my first instinct. It wasn’t until many comments later I realized what you were looking for. If I had googled Continental US, I would’ve been correct right away. Like I said, we could do this over the phone and I’d win. I didn’t get all the questions right. If I did, then you’d have a point.

It’s a St. Louis trivia thing. Everybody brings one food item for the table and then some folks also bring beer. I’m sure Taguchi can back me up on this. Imagine seven or eight people at a big table full of food, whispering to each other so the other tables won’t hear you shouting answers.

Ballz, I’m in the business of educating on such matters of geography. These people are right, you’re not.
But after reading this, I’ll try and convince a publisher of a geography textbook to put a footnote in their next edition and give you credit for it. Even God is on Omar’s side.

July 28th, 2010 at 12:05 AM
Don’t start… 95 was bad, but the 100 wins and the first pennant since 1954 almost satisfied everyone after the fact.
1997 was excruciatingly bad.
Not to mention that the Tribe could have had Pedro for Jaret Wright in 1998, which literally would have changed the baseball landscape in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.
Shit. Now I’m going to have Mesa nightmares tonight.

ballz you still around? i read about 400 comments and skipped to the end, but well done on the trivia, you were on fire.
if you’ll allow me to toot my own horn for a bit (fuck that sounds dumb): i’m on the waiting list to be on jeopardy. i passed the online test last january (2009) and in may 2009 went for the follow-up audition. we took another test and played a mock game complete with interview questions.
technically, i don’t actually know whether i’m on the waiting list or not, it’s based on the results of the second test, and they don’t tell you whether you passed or not, or even what a passing grade would be. but they tell you to tell people you’re on the waiting list for 18 months, and if you don’t hear from them, try again. so i’m going to wait a few more months and if not, try again.
i did win my bar trivia tonight (although of course the girlfriend was an integral part of the team)
July 28th, 2010 at 2:44 AM
