Thanks again, Jimmy. More facts for me to impart to my friends and relatives. You're the man.

I agree with you completely here. I became a fan of rugby a few years ago, choosing to play it over football my senior year of high school. I instantly became a fan of the Springboks as well, witnessing tremendous play from men like Jean de Villiers (my avatar) or the all-time-great, Percy...

Same here. I'd probably enjoy a next-gen console, but the money for one definitely isn't in the cards right now.

Much respect to the man himself!

Three-team blockbuster is complete, between the Yankees, Tigers and Diamondbacks: Yankees receive: CF Curtis Granderson, from Detroit. D-Backs receive: SP Edwin Jackson, SP/RP Ian Kennedy from the Yankees. Tigers receive: SP Max Scherzer, RP Dan Schlereth (ESPN analyst Mark Schlereth's...

Perhaps emphasizing my point, Podsednik has actually started more games in left field than in center for his career; 363 versus 351. For a guy who was at one time regarded as one of the fastest men in the league, that's certainly a bit odd, eh? Still, Scotty Pods is seriously one of my...

Ah, maybe a little too statistics-heavy for some. I'll bear that in mind next time.

It's been well-documented here at Caste Football that white athletes that play football are often discriminated upon if they play a number of "taboo" positions. White runningbacks and cornerbacks are often converted to fullbacks and safeties, respectively. We're told on scouting sites that they...

The Red Sox have signed 34-year-old free agenst SS Marco Scutaro to a 2-year, $12.5 million contract, pending a physical. The Red Sox had discussed moving Dustin Pedroia to SS, the position he played in college at Arizona State. They obviously don't need to anymore. In retrospect, I probably...

What position do you play, backrow?

As always, much respect to Don and the many talented and fascinating posters on the boards. I always wish I had more time to devote to the site, as there are a great many things I would love to research and post. I never feel like I'm doing enough to earn my keep. All of you have changed my...

Jordan Shipley leads by a lot in the Biletnikoff Award poll from that link as well!

Perfect on the wide receiver one, 30/37 on the defensive one. A few of the defensive starters are wrong/outdated, but complete for the most part.

You'd think this would be the case, but take a look at Jacob Hester. He rushed for 1,100 yards in the highly-touted SEC "God-conference" in 2007. On a National Championship team, too! For all the good it's done him so far, he might as well have ran in Division-III .

Again, cheers, dwid! You've done a world of good with these YouTube videos. The Sam McGuffie one you did has almost 70,000 views as well. Not to sounds spoiled, but would it be possible to get your hands on some new footage from this year? You do great stuff and I enjoy every one you post!

I'm done watching tonight's game. The Bears offensive line is so criminally bad, I feel insulted for having watched it. Uncle Chris and Michaels are towing the party line as usual, letting me know how bad Jay Cutler is. I counted only two times when Jay had three seconds or more to se his...

Well put.

Or the Marlins. I don't think 2009 Rookie of the Year Chris Coughlan was on anyone's "top prospect" boards a couple years ago.

Congratulations to Tim Lincecum and Zach Greinke on their NL and AL Cy Young awards, respectively! It's refreshing to see voters look past the less important win-loss records, and dig deeper into the statistics that make these guys go. Greinke is a great guy, and I'm happy for him. Lincecum is...

Mozambique:

It'll be interesting to see how Eastwood portrays the Springboks themselves racially. Until very recently, they were almost exclusively white men.

A terrific point. Many white runners have suffered the slow slide into obscurity that follows "splitting carries" with another, invariably black runner.

Gee, thanks for the condescending tone. You can never have too many pretentious asshats talking down to you. What would we ever do without you?

Italian all the way. My grandma is from Calabria and makes some of the finest food you'll ever taste. Even if she yells at me in a language I can't understand...

Don't know if he was using it officially, as if Toby has an actual score. A "Q Score, or Q Rating" is described as: "...a measurement of the familiarity and appeal of a brand, company, celebrity, or television show, used in the United States. The higher the Q Score, the more highly-regarded...
