The media hyped him, and the Dolphins were stupid enough not to take him, which is on them. Not on him. He handled it with class while Suzy grilled him with stupid questions about a bad and uncomfortable situation for him.<BR/><BR/>As for his girlfriend, I originally thought he could do better and still think he could. But she kind of grew on me. She has this attainable hotness to her. Her smile is nice, and her hair was absolutely gorgeous. <BR/><BR/>*Hits the ground in the fetal position for the queer bashing I usually take for noticing a girl's hair*Marcus Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020660877653524405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-29676186078790464112007-04-30T17:54:00.000-04:002007-04-30T17:54:00.000-04:00"There will be no "Re-Heat."

That seems obvious, given that he used to have a column, now he has a blog; but this format allows him to be a little more loose, give his unedited personal opinions on certain people, etc. It's both good (calling certain people out), and bad (his ridiculous vicarious-homerness to Florida), but I think the format doesn't need to yield itself to "journalistic ability" per se. <BR/><BR/>But like you NDYanks, I wish we could hear more from Dan of why the hatred is.

You're an apologetic homer, and I'm an unabashed hater. <BR/><BR/>I do wish Dan would chime in more to the comments though, as I'd be curious to know more of his angle on the hatred. <BR/><BR/>But I will say that for a lot of people, Notre Dame still is in the Duke caliber of teams that everyone loves to hate, because they have so much pull nationally. Notre Dame hasn't had great success in the past few years (they've especially sucked against BC), so the hate has been less so recently. But considering that doesn't go along with Dan's instant history, and Notre Dame isn't a Florida rival, I'm not sure why he hates Brady Quinn so.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-29241937136422075792007-04-30T16:11:00.000-04:002007-04-30T16:11:00.000-04:00You mean I CAN NOT get with the Right Guard Xtra (...You mean I CAN NOT get with the Right Guard Xtra (RGX) smokin' hot brunette?<BR/><BR/>Damn it, I just bought a case of that stuff.chitown italianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005966579859344446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-51667927443982540052007-04-30T16:05:00.001-04:002007-04-30T16:05:00.001-04:00Of course, other possibilities with the runner at ...Of course, other possibilities with the runner at 3rd are:<BR/><BR/>a) step off and run towards the base runner<BR/><BR/>and<BR/><BR/>b) drill the batter with the pitch...although with bases loaded, not a good idea. Otherwise, it's a dead ball and the runner goes back to 3rd. (common anti-squeeze technique)<BR/><BR/>I like the idea that it's okay to fake a throw to 3rd base without it being a balk, as a defense against the big lead.<BR/><BR/>Technically, it's illegal for a runner to try to incite a balk, but yeah, they don't call that.Brian in Oxfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053368055698118199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-40180679797339522382007-04-30T16:05:00.000-04:002007-04-30T16:05:00.000-04:00It seems like people are trying to make stuff up i...It seems like people are trying to make stuff up in order to get shots in at Quinn (see Dan's idiotic rant to begin his blog)...all he did throughout his career was play hard, work hard and stay out of trouble (not to mention get a dual degree with great grades at a very difficult school). But now that he struggled on draft day you see asses like Dan try to kick the guy when he was down by making up shit like "he is a wus for being invited into the commisioners suite during the draft"...its sad and just makes you look petty.ndyanksfan05https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049529004061030914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-27707064647992208492007-04-30T16:04:00.000-04:002007-04-30T16:04:00.000-04:00Not sure if it is a statistical oddity, but it was...Not sure if it is a statistical oddity, but it was fun to watch the Nationals last week in Philadelphia turn 2 double plays on the Ryan Howard shift which went 4-5-3 with the 3rd baseman (Ryan Zimmerman) making the turn at 2nd from the shift position.Natsfan74https://www.blogger.com/profile/02774593132826810650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-2555166555029202152007-04-30T16:02:00.000-04:002007-04-30T16:02:00.000-04:00Anyone else switch off ESPN's coverage of the Draf...Anyone else switch off ESPN's coverage of the Draft for NFL Network?

He worked his ass of leading up to the draft to be the best possible player he could be and promoted himself to be a marketable talent in the NFL...saying those things are negative is stupid.ndyanksfan05https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049529004061030914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-61539316038913309762007-04-30T15:56:00.000-04:002007-04-30T15:56:00.000-04:00Travis-The problem would be that unless your third...Travis-<BR/><BR/>The problem would be that unless your third baseman was really slow he would be able to beat a slow guy to third from what is basically shortstop with that shift on.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see this happen because the best way would actually be for the pitcher to just break towards third without throwing.GuyInTheCornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281686811471557576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-28914334433861814812007-04-30T15:54:00.001-04:002007-04-30T15:54:00.001-04:00ESPN treated Quinn like the Golden Boy in the past...ESPN treated Quinn like the Golden Boy in the past few weeks leading up to the draft. He was everywhere on Sportscenter, and they couldn't do a single draft segment it seemed like without somehow mentioning him. I already hated him, but what made his falling so hilarious was his plea that he should go #1. I know that's what you're supposed to say, but he just had a cockiness/sense of entitlement about him that you love to hate. <BR/><BR/>Also, everyone I've ever known who has hair like he does has been a total douchebag. Even when my girlfriend, who doesn't pay attention to sports, saw him talking on Sportscenter during one of his 79 appearances, she asked, "Who's that guy? He looks like a total asshat". <BR/><BR/>But I'm an avid hater, so I'm hardly an objective source on this.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-20272045654171273892007-04-30T15:54:00.000-04:002007-04-30T15:54:00.000-04:00What Pedroia did was with the bases full and 2 out...What Pedroia did was with the bases full and 2 out.
