    Arizona State Basketball 2013-14

    Dead serious. This more or less insured Sendek's return and means yet another decade of no one caring about ASU basketball. Have you seen who Sendek has coming in next year? The class is hot garbage, and ASU is shedding Marshall and Bachynski. Jahii Carson might stay now, but only because he's...

    Arizona State Basketball 2013-14

    Probably the worst thing to happen to ASU basketball in 20 years.

    Gotham (FOX)

    Smallville had a built in deus ex machina: The kryptonite storm. It just got it all out of the way and we could expect the super-charged bad guy/girl of the week. It borrowed/changed Superman canon whenever convenient, and it was OK because they had already explained that universe's paradigm...

    The Bledsoe dilemma

    My logic: 1) Bledsoe doesn't care as much about where he plays, he just wants a commitment to start from an organization. He also wants the ball in his hands. He has that on both accounts. 2) Bledsoe likes Hornacek that he actually takes coaching. Bledsoe doesn't like shooting when his...

    Robocop (remake)

    Good to see Michael Keaton back in the limelight. Although, between him and Sam Jackson, it looks like a contest of "Actors Who Always Play Themselves In Movies." (Love both of them!)

    The Bledsoe dilemma

    If you trade one of them, you trade Dragic and keep Bledsoe.

    The Flash (CW)

    The Flash was, by far, my favorite comic, but I can give you a normative reason why. Looking forward to this. Enjoy the Arrow, also for reasons I can't explain.

    Suns interested in Brandon Bass

    I think the Suns were looking for some rebounding off the bench on the cheap. It may also have been part of a 3-way. Not really sure.

    The Walking Dead (AMC)

    Sorry to bump into someone else's question. A MacGuffin is typically an unexplained goal. I think the zombies are the thing they're fleeing. Doesn't quite fit, but I get what you're saying. I think the zombies are just viewed as part of the setting. Setting often becomes a character unto its...

    The Walking Dead (AMC)

    It's just a plot device. We all know walking alone draws zombies, and no one complains about that. It's his second resurrection, a clear call back to the pilot. I think they were signaling the series is starting over. As I understand it, they lifted most of the show directly from the comic.

    Suns interested in Brandon Bass

    I'm telling you the discussion was real. It's not a rumor. McDonough went so far to joke about discussions he had with Ainge last month, not specifying a player. The Suns like Bass. A lot of teams like Bass.

    The Walking Dead (AMC)

    This episode is why this show is neither TV nor cinema. It's somewhere in between. They spend a lot of time developing and defining characters, like TV, but they don't do it all through dialogue. Sometimes it's just an actor walking around chewing the scenery. It can be irritating for the...

    Shia LaBeouf

    Parody is usually the last desperate claim of a person with no talent. I think the guy desperately wants to be a hipster but lacks the credentials.

    Suns interested in Brandon Bass

    Was wondering when I should post this since the Suns really didn't want this out there. Now it's out there so I thought I'd share. Bass is the player about which McDonough has been playing games with Ainge. He's really the player the Suns keyed on early, and Ainge knows it. The Celts are asking...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Episode VII)

    I'm disheartened by the thought of Oldman doing ROBOCOP. :bang:

    Recruiting

    I think the bigger issue Mao points to is legitimate: You can't rely heavily on JCs to fill your roster. It's a supply-chain issue. If you're constantly overturning your roster in huge numbers every year, you're going to run into a depth issue. It's also harder to assess the ability of a JC...

    Recruiting

    I agree with Mao that JC transfers are rife with off-the-field issues. However, I think you can usually see those problem children coming a mile away, and there's typically a public record that's easily obtainable. The JCs ASU has brought in haven't been of those variety. I think it's equally...

    Recruiting

    All three of those programs have advantages neither ASU nor UA will ever have.

    Recruiting

    Alabama used to never take JCs. They are now regular players on the JC circuit. South Carolina is just about there now, and they've been taking JCs the whole time. Oklahoma takes a lot of JCs. Elite programs recruit elite preps. That's obvious. Becoming elite is a less obvious and more...

    Recruiting

    Times have changed. Every SEC program takes a couple a year. ASU hasn't taken an overwhelming amount in any class. There aren't any 5-year rebuilding programs anymore. You have two or three years or you're cooked.

    Recruiting

    Guess it's public knowledge now. Nick Alexander wasn't going to qualify and will be going to Arizona Western next year.

    Suns explore deal for Pau Gasol

    Absolutely. Everyone's young, about the same age, and willing to be coached. It's a lot like a college locker room environment. Plenty of Suns teams have had chemistry on the court, but I can't think of any that have had this kind of culture. There aren't any veterans around to demonstrate how...

    Better Call Saul (AMC)

    OK, I get what you're saying, but is there anyone on the planet that wouldn't take a meeting with Gilligan right now? I think someone might give him an entire network if he asked for it.

    We are officially in the toughest division in the NFL

    Move to the NFC West, they said. It will be an easier path to the playoffs, they said.

    Yes. Everyone should do this.
