The Regime

I drafted Decker over Thomas in a couple leagues, as a matter of fact I skipped over a bunch of other wideouts just to get him. Stop acting like I didn't tell you that.

I told you he would outperform Demaryius Thomas.

Looking forward to the Panthers to shit on Sanchez and Tebow tonight.

Going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom tomorrow. I haven't been there for over 5 years, I'm pretty excited.

Seems like a lot of the hype has died off for the game this year. They haven't marketed like they normally do. I'll probably buy it, just not on the day it comes out like I normally do.

I'm strictly talking about his offense guys lol.

In before Yugo says something about bbc.

Mike Wallace/Maurice Jones Drew?

Justin Blackmon is going to have a good season despite the many question marks surrounding the Jaguars offense.

I'm still not convinced that Rondo is a reliable scoring option, he's as one dimensional as the come. He's excellent at getting to the rim and finishing off the glass (might actually be the best in the league), but outside of that he's mediocre in every other way.

Cant wait to see Rose back in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPjb26KdA3s&feature=player_embedded

USC is going to destroy you guys.

I'm not convinced that he's the type of player you can build around as your #1 option, atleast not yet. He would make for one hell of a secondary option though. Does he have the potential to be the next Larry Bird, not in terms of legacy but as the next dominant white American forward who can make his team a contender year in and year out?

You should have a way deeper bench for a 10 team league. And I'm not confident with Garcon as you #2.

Really strong showing from Lincecum today, it's that time of year for him again to get hot.

I remember a while back there were rumors that the Thunder might trade Westbrook for Rondo. I'm not sure if that were merely speculation or if there was any legitimacy to that rumor, but had that been the case would the Thunder be better off? Also how good would a Big Three of Westbrook+Pierce+KG be, could they win out the East?

Obviously a player will have to compromise a little bit of speed and agility, but it's not going to be something dramatic. You said Amare lost all his explosiveness because of the weight, that's something that can be avoided. I find it hard to believe that his play last season was a result of the weight that he put on.

There are ways to put on weight while retaining speed and agility. It all comes down to proper training.

Blaming his lack of defense on poor understanding of fundamentals is a really sorry excuse. He has been in the league for a decade, by now he should have a really good grip and understanding of where he should be under various scenarios. There's always room for improvement regardless of where his strength and conditioning stands. If he really has the desire and work ethic to play defense as you claim then he wouldn't be under so much scrutiny year in and year out.

There are plenty of ways to work on defense. For starters he can hit the weight room and get stronger which translates on both sides of the court. Secondly, working on lateral quickness is essential to becoming a good defender. He's already an above average leaper at his position so getting stronger and quicker on his feet can help elevate his game defensively.

That was too funny.

Andrew Luck is really going to be something special, his accuracy and pocket presence is just amazing. Outside of that one early interception he has looked solid.
