    Well Rivers has a no-trade clause, and I kinda doubt
    he agree to go to Cleveland, though who knows.

    No, I’d rather have three years of Rivers
    than a decade of Wentz. With Rivers i think the
    Rams are immediately a super-bowl-threat.

    It would be like Palmer going to the cards.

    The Rams would immediately be a different
    team.

    Would they give a first rd pick for Rivers?
    I would.

    First and second? Maybe.

    Well because he’s living in the past.

    And that’s not the way to do things in the NFL.

    Unless of course Fisher wins a superbowl.

    Then it will be, “well to win a superbowl you need an sub-standard coach who does not draft well and relies on antiquated approaches and whose entire OL gets injured every year— why doesnt Fisher KNOW THAT??!!”

    I wont be watchin it. Doubt if i even

    Its all about the Draft and Free agency
    now, for me.

    One thing i do know — whichever team wins,
    will spawn all kinds of “this is how you build a
    super bowl winner” articles/posts. Ya know.
    Happens every year. If a team wins the Ring
    with a one-legged-QB and a cross-eyed equipment manager,
    then the internetz are flooded with
    “you MUST have a one-legged-QB and a cross-eyed equipment

    I think it was an axe to his knee. The guy is basically the Tin Man. He has no toes anyway (or heart), so the self-sacrifice he is offering is not as great as it might appear on first blush.

    Yeah, and i assume they look for a certain type

    Knowing that, why do opposing teams not make more of an effort to jam them up at the snap, and try to disrupt that rhythm.

    Just guessing, you can do that if you also have one of the league’s best pass rushes.

    It’s the combination, not just one thing. Not just jamming, but beating the OL quickly too.

    Remember in early 2014 when GW’s defense had to adjust to teams throwing quickly on them.

    Yeah, apparently Denver’s D (which i have never watched)
    is pretty special. They make it look easy,
    but most D’s probly cant get that kind of pressure
    that quickly.

    ==============================================
    A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians
    John C. Urschel, Xiaozhe Hu, Jinchao Xu, Ludmil T. Zikatanov
    (Submitted on 1 Dec 2014)

    In this paper, we develop a cascadic multigrid algorithm for fast computation of the Fiedler vector of a graph Laplacian, namely, the eigenvector corresponding to the second smallest eigenvalue. This vector has been found to have applications in fields such as graph partitioning and graph drawing. The algorithm is a purely algebraic approach based on a heavy edge coarsening scheme and pointwise smoothing for refinement. To gain theoretical insight, we also consider the related cascadic multigrid method in the geometric setting for elliptic eigenvalue problems and show its uniform convergence under certain assumptions. Numerical tests are presented for computing the Fiedler vector of several practical graphs, and numerical results show the efficiency and optimality of our proposed cascadic multigrid algorithm.

    thot this was interesting too:

    “Here’s a list of all the offensive linemen the Patriots have drafted in the first three rounds since 2006:

    1. Nate Solder, first round, 2011
    2. Sebastian Vollmer, second round, 2009

    That’s it.”

    “…DENVER — Gingerly, the 38-year-old quarterback peeled away each layer of defeat. A dirt-stained white jersey, tattered undershirt, bloodied socks. They revealed many of the bruises, cuts and scrapes that come with hitting the deck 20 times before and after throwing a football. His left elbow looked like a Walking Dead makeup job, with bright red spots where the skin was scraped away, and a deep purple bruise the size of an avocado where the forearm meets the elbow. This is how the triple-option quarterback at Navy is supposed to look after football games, not the greatest passer of a generation.

    Tom Brady’s face wore no hint of anger or malice, and he fielded no apologies. Not 20 feet away from him, five huge men bearing strikingly few bruises dressed side-by-side in silence. The New England Patriots offensive line wasn’t mauled, manhandled or overpowered in the AFC Championship Game; it was simply ignored….
    …
    …“I tried to lay on him a few times,” said one Broncos rusher after the game. “I tried to rub my nuts on his face.””

    Somewhere I seem to recall reading that the Rams needed 20 points per game to win. That was their magic number.

    I just went through the Rams schedule last season.

    If the Rams had scored exactly 20 points in every single game last season, they would have ended up with a record of 7-9.

    As opposed to their actual record of 7-9.

    DeMarco Farr stated that during one of the game’s broadcast this season. 20 points was the magic number…..

    Check your math… Rams would be 9-7, potentially 10-6 if you count the Vikings game if the Rams score 20 in regulation.

    20 points would’ve resulted in victories in Baltimore, Minny and vs Steelers.

    The Great Snow of 1943

    So in the midnight the great snow
    Covered over the dark ground;
    Feet were hobbled and wheels spun;
    The hydrants smothered, sank, drowned.

    The great snow bandaged the street lights,
    And banked the doors of the bright shops
    And hid the hot little cars deep,
    And mounded over the train tops.

    Careless and pure, the snow fell.
    This was the finish, we all knew.
    So man expired in a white dream.
    It seemed like a damned good idea, too.
