um

It really upsets me that house is infecting multiple cousin sal pods.

"Hey Ya!" confirmed best song of the millennium

#journalism

I had a dream last night that BS was on dancing with the stars. They should do a whole season with nothing but BS report regulars. House, Sal, JackO, CK, etc. I'd watch that.

J(itter)-Bug would win.

Lol at Barnwell putting the Giants and Steelers as contenders for the Lombardi.

If they extended the "millenium" to 1999, does the Thong Song win easily?

He didn't want to wade through reams of drooling hate mail from Steelers Nation, can't really blame the guy

Yes, however they call each other by name way too much and it tilts me. Especially Barnwell saying "mays". He says it like every other sentence.

Ainge BS podcast is a little bizarre. Ainge talks like he's recovering from a serious head injury or something.

Yeah, House is terrible. More Sal, less House.

Charles P. Pierce somehow managed to be an irredeemably boring hack while writing about Chip Kelly and the Eagles:

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...night-football

sal: chip kelly's offense causes his defense to tire out, because they score too quickly sometimes. so thats a big problem.

wat?

I don't know if it's right, but it makes sense. He's saying his defense doesn't get any extended breaks because his offense doesn't have any long methodical drives.

Simmons said some remarkably dumb things in the Greenwald podcast but they involve TV spoilers. Also, his writers always pull punches when they're guests on the bs report.

didnt you see the time of possession stats?

I'd think lots of short breaks is preferable to few long breaks.

i can see what he is saying

iggles' first two drives consisted of 19 plays and lasted for about 5:30 total, whereas the lions (picked at random) operating a 'normal' offense opened with two 10 play drives which lasted for 10 mins total. eagles D not gonna spend very much time recovering on the sidelines this year.

not sure if that matters tho since they're forcing the opponent to work at a relatively higher level of intensity per minute spent on the field. plus chip can adjust if he needs to - if the D is gassed and desperately needs a break he can slow the offense down. and they can also employ the fashionable 'ooh im cramping up' psuedo-timeout strategy as needed.

lol, they are gonna bet on SD +7.5 @ PHI

THEY DOUBT CHIP. BS confirmed NOT 2p2er.

edit: BS also betting BUF +3 vs CAR. lol @ that. Sal not on board tho.

it will be interesting to see what the long term effect of participating in significantly more plays per game than everyone else has on the eagles as the season rolls on. expecting lots of injuries, due to pure volume and perhaps also a compounding effect of a bigger workload on the players.

Simmons was so bad with greenwald. He is fascinatingly wrong on his opinions. What he was saying about a specific scene that involved Todd was incredibly stupid. Like he missed the entire point of that cut.

His Bubbles talk about why he didn't like him was the perfect validation of The Wire characters as a bracket exercise.

When he caught up on The Wire after season 4 he wrote one of the most aids clubs in history about how maybe we weren't ready for a show like this showing the realities of the inner city. Basically he pushed his sheltered NE private school upbringing on to the premium cable watching population as a whole. Then he talks about how he doesn't like bubbles since he's a junkie.


Simmons WOAT TV watcher
