OT OF (Off Topic Overflow): Martin Luther King Day of Service
Remembering Dr. King's legacy as a "Day of Service" is an awesome tribute. If you have the day off and no plans, it's not too late to volunteer somewhere for an hour or two.

Field
Gridiron football (or simply football), sometimes known as North American football, is an umbrella term for related codes of football primarily played in the United States and Canada. The predominant forms of gridiron football are American football and Canadian football. The terms refer to the sport’s characteristic playing field, which is marked with a series of parallel lines resembling a gridiron

Like I said, I’m rooting hard for you guys, but the Giants are playing awfully well right now. They got jobbed by the refs and still won easily on the road. I love your defense, but can’t forget how Brees took the Saints down the field twice there at the end. I’d love to see Eli finally have some pressure back there though. He was given way too much time yesterday.

As pointed out elsewhere, the Saints’ O-Line had 3 Pro Bowlers lined up against Justin Smith on Saturday, and Smith still won. The pass rush needs to bring it again this week against the Giants if they’re going to keep the ball out of the hands of Cruz and Nicks down the field.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Getting pressure with 4 guys is crucial. Also blanketing the run (wow the Saints ran for virtually nothing) will be key.
9ers defense help Saints to 5 for 14 on 3rd down, that is incredible, considering how good the Saints O really is.
These two teams are so similar in their defense, run, power and efficient QBing.
I see the game going down to 1. Turnovers 2. Giants WR vs 9ers DB 3. Niners run game vs Giants D

by Myemail21479 on Jan 16, 2012 9:49 AM PST up reply actions
The Giants were actually something like 25th in total defense. Their pass rush is where they live or die. Goodwin, Ginn, and Walker being healthy for this game could be very important, both to have the O-Line at full strength and to give Alex some quick options in short yardage when the blitzes come.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
To be fair, the Giants D was injury ravaged during most of the season, and didn’t start getting fully healthy until the Jets game. Their Giant defense has now allowed only 2 TD’s in their 2 playoff games.
I agree with your other points, and would add that given the projected wet field and weather conditions, the effectiveness of the running game may be key for both teams. These are two closely matched teams running on all cylinders, and expectations are justifiably high for a great tight game.
"It'll break your heart. It's designed to break your heart."
- A. Bartlett Giamatti
I can believe that injuries hurt their defense, but not 15 spots’ worth. They are a turnover generating team, but they are so-so against the run and outright bad against the pass. The key remains their pass rush: forcing bad throws, getting to the carrier, and attacking the ball.
If Smith can stick to smart throws and the Niners as a team can keep up their extremely stingy ball security, the Giants’ biggest asset could be neutralized.
Just as a quick window to this, the Giants had a point differential of -6 (394/400). The Niners had a point differential of +151 (380/229).
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
This was on ESPN.com:
Who is going to the Super Bowl? The Giants look strong, but the 49ers have everything going for them. They’re at home. They’re playing with confidence. And they have the better defense. San Francisco was good enough to go into Green Bay to get a win if its playoff road led in that direction. Now that the 49ers don’t have to go that route, their magical season continues with a trip to Indianapolis.
It gave me goosebumps.

Exception
Play Three — From his own 30-yard line the quarterback takes the snap and drops back in the pocket to pass. A defensive tackle grabs him by the collar and drags him down at the 18-yard line. Is this a legal play?
Answer — Yes, because it occurred against the quarterback in the pocket. This is an exception to the horse-collar tackle rule.

2011 Giants Adoptee: Orlando Cabrera (because everyone needs to be loved)
San Francisco Giants Won the 2010 World Series: Not a Typo
The point of the rule is to prevent serious injury
If you’re a QB in the pocket you’re likely standing still, so it’s not a dangerous play. If you’re a WR running full speed down the sideline and someone does that to you, that’s different.
The first six innings are overrated.
He had by the jersey
Horse collar is when u grab the pads
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Technically true
but most refs will call the jersey grab too if they have fingers in the collar.
CalBear’s citation above is correct; you can horsecollar tackle the QB inside the pocket.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
That's because
The horse-collar tackle is an American football or Canadian football maneuver in which a defender tackles another player by grabbing the back-inside of an opponent’s shoulder pads. The technique is most closely associated with Pro Bowl safety Roy Williams. This kind of tackle was banned from the NFL during the 2005 offseason; the rule forbidding it is often referred to in the press as “The Roy Williams Rule.”1 The rule was expanded to include the back of the jersey collar in 2006. The rule, with modifications, was adopted in college and high school football in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
I did not know about the exception of QB in pocket though, so that explains it.

I think the Niners are a bad matchup for the Giants.
Niners are more physical, have a better running game, and a better front 7.

I’m just saying, the Niners won plenty of close games with big turnover advantages. That they eked out a win against the Saints despite a +5 isn’t terribly surprising, nor is it especially damning.

And not all forms of motorsport are worth it. I’ll never just spectate another rally event.

I will never forget going to the 1977 AFC division game between the Raiders and the Colts with my dad at the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. It was so cold that we literally huddled in the bathroom for the second half and listened to the radio broadcast. The funny thing is that the boxscore says the gametime temp was 41F.

The Red Sox's answer to the Yankees' moves
The Red Sox reached an agreement with righty Vicente Padilla, tweets Peter Gammons of MLB Network. Boston’s interest in Padilla was first reported by Francisco Jarquín Soto at the Nicaraguan paper El Nuevo Diario two days ago.
Padilla made only nine appearances for the Dodgers in 2011, all in relief, before neck problems ended his season in June. He briefly took over the closer’s job from Jonathan Broxton, though in recent years the 34-year-old has been a swingman and spot starter (he thrived as a starter as recently as 2010). He has reportedly been hitting 95-96 mph with his fastball this winter in Nicaragua, and has said he wants to fight for a rotation spot. Seeing as the Red Sox have no shortage of hard-throwing righties in their revamped pen, Padilla could get his wish if his health permits. Aaron Cook and Carlos Silva are expected to be part of that fifth starter battle.

Massive (but really good) piece by David Cameron about the Jesus Montero to catch or not catch debate
If Montero is a truly awful defensive catcher, as most scouts seem to suggest, it seems fair to assume that his glove could cost the Mariners in excess of 15 runs per season behind the plate. When you add in the extra offensive value that would be gained from moving him out from behind the plate and the long term effects of not having his body wear down from catching, then the expected value going forward from either decision seems to be defensible.
If you think Montero can be better than the worst defensive catcher in baseball, it is probably worth taking the risk on trying him behind the plate and evaluating further – the Rangers are certainly happy they did so with Napoli after the Angels gave up on him behind the plate, after all. However, if you believe that Montero’s physical limitations will prevent him from being decent behind the plate, then moving him to DH now might very well be the right decision.

The Yankees are telling people they only have $1-2MM for their open designated hitter spot, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Heyman feels that such a budget would take them out of the running for Carlos Pena and most likely Johnny Damon. According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, Yankees insiders said they haven’t had time to fully consider DH options, having traded Jesus Montero so recently. Martino says the Yankees “won’t spend lavishly” on a DH, especially with plenty of internal candidates for a potential timeshare.

Tosh Lupoi is the single best recruiter in all of Pac-12
maybe in the whole country. To lose him is a tremendous loss. Basically Cal’s last two classes of top 20 recruits were all from Lupoi.
I am so surprised to see him go. Reports as of last Friday was he was staying at Cal. Something happened.

It’s crazy because one of of Lupoi’s biggest appeal was about building family and loyalty. How does he play that card any more?
I mean this is a total dagger because he could have waited until after recruiting season.

I totally wouldn't be surprised if Armstead goes to Auburn or ND now
and Ellis might still go to USC. This is a total dagger to the heart of Cal.

basically Lupoi convinced all those guys to join cal and selling them on this program
and after they commit, he bolts for Washington.

Schulmans latest Lincecum arb blog with this interesting factoid
To wit: Here is the complete list of pitchers who, through their first five major-league seasons, threw 1,000 innings, struck out 1,100 batters and had an ERA below 3.00.
1. Tom Seaver
2. Tim Lincecum
If we add "won two Cy Youngs" the list looks like this:

One of my TARDIS socks is finished. It still needs its ends weaved in and then to be blocked, but it’s pretty awesome anyway.

I’m afraid that instead of actually taking me to when the other one is completed, it will take me somewhen else where I’m needed to to help the people avoid some kind of terrible horror. And that will probably be more work than just waiting for the second sock.

Just got home
from my Day of Service. Overhauling the community garden. Being large, I got stuck with the pick axe, pretty exhausted.
Awesome...except for the pick axe part

Bold Prediction: Pablo Sandoval finishes 1st or 2nd in 2012 NL MVP voting. I'm Twittering now (well maybe not literally now): @GoofusMcP
That's Great!
I think that even small symbolic gestures are important to remind us of the type of people we admire and want to be, what type of world we would like to live in, and what type of world we would like to create/maintain/leave for those who follow such as Goofus Jr. and his lady friend. It gets important conversations going, creates good habits, and encourages positive existential meditation when most of our existential meditation is stimulated by negative and reactionary events. Good on ya!
