In Baltimore....
Cle/Cin game is on now, with no second game available. At 4PM, the Skins game is on AND the NE/Phi game. I seriously don’t get how they choose these games.

CLE/CIN makes sense
Its a division game and none of the early games are really great. Fox and CBS each get 8 double headers a year, so this just happened to be CBS’s week.
Usually they don't show a game opposite the Redskins.
Division or not, this is maybe the last game I’m interested in seeing right now. I’m upstairs following stattracker while I listen to the game on downstairs.

They're obligated to show the Redskins game when they play on the road
but i don’t think theres a rule about not showing another game opposite it.
Damnit....1st and goal from the 3 and the Rams get a FG.

Ha!
That happened in my league as well. Dude dropped Pitt’s D to pick up CJ Spiller. I’ve been streaming D’s all season so far, so I was a bit stunned to see them available. Put in my wavier claim, and in spite of being near the end of the queue I still landed them. They haven’t been great by any stretch but they are better than trying to roll the dice w/ Seattle etc… each week.

by Eat More Esskay on Nov 27, 2011 5:21 PM EST reply actions
Those with more knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong
but the purpose as I understand it is to get defenders to run toward the line at least one step and then have to react to the pass, which gives receivers an extra second, maybe, to get open. By running run plays out of the same set, the defenders must play run first so as not to allow an easy 3-4 yard gain.
So, football intelligentsia, how close am I?
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
This
Going further though, it’s fairly easy to discern the fake from our overhead, behind the line of scrimmage camera view. It gets harder when you’re on the same plane as the football, and there’s four 300 pound guys on your team smashing into five 350 pound guys on their team, in between you and the 5’10 running back.

Yeah, that's a fair point.
Easy enough to see on the camera.
I guess it just seems to me like the guy who’s in coverage should have the discipline to stay with his man no matter what it might look like, and trust that someone else will make the play if it’s a run.
Well, then again, maybe a better-coached team would. Philly seems like kind of a hot mess here today.

Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
Hipster
Not a single heavy rock/metal album in the top 100, except MAYBE one. Fuckin’ RS at it again. “Ooooh, not too loud, you’re hurt our ears and we won’t be able to hear KJanye rapping out of tune on his next CD!”
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
i only looked at the 10
what albums are missing?
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
Anything with guitars worth actually listening to
I have a list downthread.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
Here's a primer of some of what was left out...
http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-decades-best-metal,35509/
The Sword, Age Of Winters (2006)
9 tracks – Age of Winters by The Sword
Insert snide comment about hipsters here. Decorate with photo of J.D. Cronise wearing a trucker hat, and add a generous helping of snotty aspersions about the character of people from Austin. Top off with dismissal of any song appearing in a Guitar Hero game. Now erase all that and just sit down and listen to Age Of Winters. If you’re not banging your head by the second track, then you’re letting your preconceptions get in the way of the music. This is simply a kick-ass heavy metal album, and anything else is just a distraction.
And I like their second CD even better than that one.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
We can all pick albums that didn’t make the list. That doesn’t make it a bad list though because some of our personal favorites didn’t make it.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
But the crap that DID make the list is indefensible
Seriously, EVERY CD Kanye West released in the 2000s makes the list? Really? EVERYTHING Coldplay released? EVERYTHING Radiohead released? EVERYTHING U2 released? All of them? By the end of it, I was actually surprised Taylor Swift didn’t make it.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
A lot of these albums are good though. I don’t agree with every choice, but in scanning of the list, I see a lot of good albums. Maybe not the albums that I would pick, but they’re good. And really that’s all I’m asking for out of a “best of” list.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
Well the thing we can all agree on I think
Is that the list has no direction. What is the picking criteria?
If you’re gonna pick all the U2 and (newer) Coldplay and Kings of Leon albums, then you’re picking on commercial success. If you’re including indie stuff, then you’re picking based on what’s been critically acclaimed. You can’t put both in the same list and try to make them equal.
And also don’t include any Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan albums, which didn’t sell well AND probably aren’t critically acclaimed. And especially don’t list them so high.

Upon further review of this list,
It’s hard to take seriously. It comes off as if a 25 year old hipster and a 40 year old corporate guy took turns picking albums. It’s an insane combination of indie/formerly indie artists, way past their prime artists included on the list for reputation alone, and a few way too easily picked rap albums thrown in so they don’t seem racist.
All three U2 albums on this list is absolutely inexcusable. U2 minus U2’s 80’s rep equals Nickelback. Even U2 hates U2 music from the 2000s.

It's the same artists, over and over again
If Kanye’s names is on it, it’s in there. If Jay-Z’s name is on it, it’s in there. Arcade Fire? Sigur Ros? Coldplay? Radiohead? Outkast? Eminem? Practially everything they did that decade shows up.
How about The Sword’s “Gods Of This Earth”? How about All That Remains’ “Overcome”? Not my cup of tea, but there’s no denying The Deftones’ “White Pony”, Mastadon’s “Leviathan”, and Queens Of The Stone Age “Songs For The Deaf”. And yeah, I’m saying Slayer’s “Christ Illusion” should have made the list.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
QOTSA and Deftones I could definitely see on this list.

And yeah, that's what I'm trying to say
It’s like they gave some kid who listens to underground stuff 30 picks, and the rest had to be taken up by the biggest artists and everything they’ve done to satisfy the major labels.
In addition to the lack of diversity you mentioned, the rap albums listed on here are the absolute easiest picks any white executive could’ve made. 50 Cent, are you kidding me? How about the Roots “Phrenology”? Talib Kweli “Quality”? Blackstar, Lupe, Common…

There's a reason I put it in quotes
It’s what a 40-something exec THINKS kids are listening to, not what they actually were.

Yeah, I don't like Kanye but I recognize that he's "good"
The picks are just so thoughtless. Most of those hip kids would probably support a Kweli album for this list over any Kanye album.

fine
i’m just saying that i see a lot of good albums. maybe not albums where i would place them, but good music is there.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
But it's waaaaay too exclusive of other genres aside from pop/rock and radio rap
RS is saying Kanye put out 4 of the best 100 CDs of the ‘00s, but not one living country artist did? Not one jazz artist? There wasn’t a single classical music recording that makes the top 100? Not one album with guitars with distortion need apply? No one outside of North America (including Iceland) and England recorded anything worthy of this list? No one? Really? But Kanye deserves to be on there four times, with Coldplay and Jay-Z?
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
But it's waaaaay too exclusive of other genres aside from pop/rock and radio rap
I completely agree. Like I said, it’s Rolling Stone. They wrote a list consistent with their tastes. Pitchfork has a “best of” list and it’s consistent with their tastes. Same with Spin. In the end though, it’s impossible to escape bias with these lists. In fact, bias is the basis which forms these lists.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
Also of note not on the list:
Audioslave, Audioslave
Bela Fleck, Little Worlds
Bloodhound Gang, Hooray for Boobies
Hank III, Straight to Hell
A Perfect Circle, Mer de Noms or 13th Step
Shooter Jennings, Put the O back.. or Electric Rodeo
Slipknot, Slipknot or Vol. 3
Steve Earle, Transcendental Blues or Jerusalem
Tool, Lateralus
Willie Nelson, Countryman

maybe b/c those artists aren't any good?
ok, i haven’t actually looked at the list. I find them largely pointless and skewed. but metal doesn’t belong on any “best of” list unless it’s a “best albums to toss” list.
Ha ha ha, look at me, I'm cooler than the dumb metal fan

"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
i'm just keeping up appearances
i like a few bands on the bubble of metal (early Thrice, Avenged Sevenfold, later Brand New, APC, etc.), but metal itself mostly just annoys me with the incessant screaming and pathetic lyrics.
Yes. Metallica's lyrics on any song on Master of Puppets or ...and Justice for All

Or Unearth's "Giles"
C’mon, a metal song based on “The Crucible”? And not even the main character, but the one who refuses to enter a plea so his land can be passed down to his sons rather than forfeited to the court. You gotta respect that.
Not one step forth could capture amission of guilt
by law, avoids death on gallows hill
Through time his fight will martyr my name
My soul, free of a heretic
Court of ayer and terminer,
leave me my rightful land
Court of ayer and terminer,
leave me my rightful land
To stow in my heart-to leave to my sons
Peine forte et dure is called-
An effort to collapse belief
has failed, and surely will die with me
An epic stand is made.
Condemned, I will not plea.
Damned to the beast of torment
Damned by the beast within us all
Rectify my name…

Beats the hell out of "Candy Shop"
whose CD made the Top 100 list, btw.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
And my all-time fave example of how musically inept a lot of radio rappers are
He had about 5% to do with that song. Someone else wrote the beat, someone else programmed the music, someone else produced it, someone else sang the background vocals which are the main hook, and he strolled into the studio and grunted “Yeah, Candy Shop, yeah, huh” a bunch of times, added some ridiculous “metaphors” about oral sex that a 10th grader could have been been more subtle about, and collected millions and is hailed as the next great rap artist.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
and, while lyrics about puritan era witch-burning are not my cup of tea
in that style, i’ll take thrice’s “under the killing moon” instead.
or rather, the guy i work with listens to the wrong bands
which i get exposed to on occasion.
bands like pantera, dream theatre, and lords knows what other bands, including, yes, metallica. of which i’ve enjoyed exactly none.
but hey, whatever floats your boat. i reserve the right to laugh at you, however. :)
And I reserve the right to think mean thoughts about your laughing.
And he’s probably not listening the REALLY good Pantera, like the stuff off “Reinventing the Steel”. Tell him to take “Walk” off the playlist and put on You’ve Got To Belong To It or Revolution is My Name (the video is quite funny, btw).
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
Too many fans gave up after Great Southern Trendkill
I love the CD, but a lot of fans didn’t. And they missed a great CD in Reinventing the Steel.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
i actually like the aughts U2
although all that leave you can leave behind should NOT be at 13. No Line on the Horizon is FAR better.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
all that you can leave behind shouldn't be in the top 100 period.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
I always forget that the players don't have the same view as the cameras do.
The linemen can’t hardly see past the opposite linemen.
Tommy hunter still sucks!
Which is a big part of why Ray Rice is so successful
He’s so short, it is almost impossible to know which hole he’s gonna come through
That's what...

It helps to freeze defensive players.
If you fake the handoff, the defenders have to react to avoid giving up yardage. That second of hesitation can create space for passing plays.

Eagles D
Starting a bad defense that is also going against the Patriots – possibly a bad idea. Looks like TL put a seldom used Yards Against 400-499 penalty into the league as the Eagles D is at -4.00, and that’s with a sack.

I knew I had to go contrarian to pick up points on KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and that was one where there was a fair chance it would go that way. I didn’t think they actually would win, but I thought they could. We’re late in the game, and I’m 6 back. Time to start goin’ deep.

Did anyone see the Shannon Sharpe interview with him before the 1:00 games?
Where Sharpe was basically saying he sucked to his face. Like, “No offense, but you suck. Everyone thinks you suck. No offense though. What do you think about that?”
I can’t wait till someone catches Tebow on an iPhone losing it and bitching someone out. That’s gonna be gold.

Scoring less than 20 points ain't gonna cut it against a good team.
But it’s possible they don’t run into that team until the 2nd round of the playoffs, on the road, so who knows.
