After I publish this post, I'm going home to hunker down on the couch and finish Professor James Flynn's What is intelligence ? Back in my uncouth youth, I took Flynn's first year Political Philosophy paper at Otago. In a classic example of how university is wasted on the young, all I remember is him (justifiably) scaring the bejesus out of me when I fell asleep in class, and how long it took me to...

Dr.FSBA: Or Why Northcutt's release/trade means more between the lines

Big Cat Country (Free subscription) | 06/25/2009

As Dennis Northcutt 's days as a Jaguar are number, I feel the need to sit back here and look at where this team is heading and where it has been. I forget which poster said it, but they said it best, "I couldn't wait for the day the receiving corps was good enough to cut Dennis Northcutt." Last year at this time, the core receivers were Jerry Porter , Northcutt, Reggie Williams , Troy Williamson...

Let's Go Golfing With The Oshies!

St. Louis Game Time (Free subscription) | 06/24/2009

As everyone knows, the seeming non-contact sport of choice amongst NHL players is golf. And while we all learned last summer that it can be way more dangerous than ever thought before, it's not going away anytime soon. On top of that, lots of NHLers host golf tournaments to raise money for their charities, allowing the casual fan with disposable income to bring a foursome, spend some time with celebrity...

10 Guys You Should Take Late In Your Fantasy Draft

Sportsviews (Free subscription) | 06/22/2009

The top ten picks of a Fantasy Football draft is fairly self-explanatory, no matter the format or scoring settings. It’s simply, really. If you have a league the has two quarterbacks starting, getting Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady with your top pick isn’t a bad move. If your league has three running backs starting, you [...] Added by: egriffin Viewed: 1 time(s) Tags/Keywords:...

Here’s an interesting remix of what Matt Jones has recently called the Gershenfeld-Negroponte switch (intangible services who think they are tangible products, and tangible products who think they are intangible services). Check out Le Verdure del Mio Orto (via Gianluca Brugnoli). The website is in Italian, but worth a visit even if you don’t speak the language. Basically this is a very...

Social Media Stirs It Up

Beneath the Brand (Free subscription) | 06/18/2009

There have been two interesting social media moments in my day today. The first was reading an article over at Ad Age that a brave brand planner named Matt Jones wrote called Why I Hate Social Media . Talk about stirring up something! So far there are 37 responses, and it’s safe to say there will be more. Wow, I’d kill for that kind of response! Anyway, some people have used it as an opportunity...

Odds For A New Bears Receiver

Windy City Gridiron (Free subscription) | 06/17/2009

500,000 to 1 ~ Brandon Marshall - I would have pegged him as a million-to-one shot to come to the Bears , but after Jerry Angelo pulled off a little QB trade in the off-season, getting another million-to-one shot seems more likely. But not that likely. If the Broncos reunite Marshall with Jay Cutler , their fan base will revolt. I'm not sure if the Bears have the ammo to pursue this deal with Denver...
