It’s unanimous. That (a unanimous vote) has only happened 15 times in history. And, in addition to his 3 MVPs, has has 3 2nd place finishes, a third place finish and a fourth place finish, meaning he has finished in the Top 5 in 8 of the 9 years he has been in the league. (the fourth most MVP votes since the 1930s.) Imagine what he could do if his elbow wasn’t hanging by a ligament (inside joke).

Blanche v. The Sick
Posted by Adam Butler on November 24, 2009
In the end, I’m not sure the “public option” will be a great deal. I’m sure it will have its share of problems. But to do nothing is criminal.

Scheduling Mishaps of a Former Coach With Multiple DWIs

I mean, if Hog basketball keeps slipping crashing, I can see us playing lots of games in venues like this, but Big Blue? Weird.

Clausen Clocked
Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 24, 2009
I think you can all tell that we’re pretty serious fans. We love our Razorbacks, Cardinals (AB), Red Sox (BK), and Texans (BK), but 
that love does have some reasonable bounds. For instance, I don’t ever see one of us punching the star player on our favorite team like some drunk Irish fan did to Jimmy Clausen.
Although Adam did once curse out Rick Sutcliffe.

Not so fast, my friend…
Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 24, 2009
The good news is that the economy did grow in the third quarter. The bad news is that it did not grow as fast as analysts first expected.
The main factors behind the downgrade: consumers didn’t spend as much, commercial construction was weaker and the nation’s trade deficit was more of a drag on growth. Businesses also trimmed more of their stockpiles, another restraining factor.
I could have told you the same thing by looking at my bank account. These folks should just come to me for a read on the economy.

Changing the Topic
Posted by Brett Kincaid on November 24, 2009
In the first politically astute move we’ve seen from her in months, Sen. Blanche Lincoln is trying to turn the page from health care. Already locked in a brutal campaign against 7 eager GOP challengers (potentially 8 according to David Sanders — Jim Holt may re-enter the arena), Sen. Lincoln wants to focus on anything but health care.
In Little Rock to moderate a public hearing of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, Arkansas’ senior Senator said the economy is her focus.
“Creating jobs, putting our economy back on the right track, is my No. 1 priority,” Lincoln, D-Ark., said at a field hearing of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, which she chairs, at the Clinton presidential library.
Good luck with that, Senator.
