They both share a World Series record. Also, one is better than the other.
Saints 35, Falcons 27: The Saints had 4 turnovers and were still able to defeat the Falcons and take an 8 game division lead in the NFC Souf. Look at New Orleans’s schedule: they have maybe 3 games where they should be challenged (New England, Dallas, @Atlanta). Although a perfect season doesn’t seem likely, it’s certainly not out of the question. Drew Brees had a somewhat shitty day with 2 turnovers, and yet was still able to throw for over 300 yards and 2 TDs.
True story: I played against Brees in middle school basketball. I was at St. Ignatius and he was at St. Andrews. Let’s just say that he didn’t dunk in that game. Now, is that game the reason that he chose to go into the NFL and not try for the NBA? I’m not a mindreader, people, but the math is right there in front of you.
Random basketball observations via twitter, since I’m still on NBA sabbatical:
Rockets 113, Jazz 96: All of the PER and efficiency fags are in love with Houston.
Knicks 117, Hornets 111: Chris Paul should be traded this year, and the franchise will probably fold.
Kings 127, Grizzlies 116 (OT): Kevin Martin can put it in the basket, and how!
Thanks for retracting your playoff predictions post, Hef. It will give you a chance to do some editing and correct the part when you mistakenly said you don’t like the Broncos.
Every year the Suns surprise you with one player being a lot better than he was when he played elsewhere. Be it Grant Hill, Shaq, Diaw or Nash (when he first came over). This year that player is Channing Frye.
i guess “better” is a relative term.
Who wasn’t better on PHX then they were elsewhere? Frye has hit 13 3’s already this year compared to a career total of 20. He’s gonna average 20 a night. Only 3 rebounds though.
But I don’t like the Broncos. Why would I…
i say better is relative because you get a fuckton more possessions in PHX, inflating stats, while completely ignoring things like “defense” and “running plays.”
which is why frye’ll prolly rock all year, face the spurs or lakers in the playoffs, and look like a lost puppy.
Saints game screwed me last night. Why couldn’t they just keep it under 58 points. This is the second time I’ve got screwed on a Monday night in my pick-em league. First time was when Miami scored to beat the Jets with 10 seconds left. That’s $350 someone owes me.
Here’s the thing, they picked him up to spread the floor which everyone said was a waste of a body because his outside shooting wasn’t good enough. So far he’s 13-20 on 3’s. What I’m saying is that he’s better than everyone thought he would be regardless of possessions. Ya heard?
maybe brees came away from that fateful day assuming basketball was filled with the gays?
heard.
/always like frye, just wanted to annoy you…did i succeed?
Channing Frye was traded by Isiah for Zach Randolph.

No. The swine flu annoys me. You’re just a pesky distraction from not dying.
