Kuharsky misses the point

It’s understandable. He has a lot of information to glean through. He (I’m guessing) doesn’t listen to Gene or Jack or Terry or any of the other voices on Jaguars’ radio shows.

What JDR said about “perceived very best” was perfectly clear to me. He was referring to teams, not individual players. The outcome of a football game isn’t as easily determined as looking at a roster.

There are a few of Kuharsky’s separation indices that need to be commented upon, though.

Clark-Lewis: Key West to Bering Strait. That visual sure is colorful. Clark is sunny skies, balmy breezes, soft waves lapping at the shore. Catching rays and enjoying the weather. Marcedes is high winds, brutal seas, bitter cold. Hard work in a difficult environment. Kuharsky fails to understand (or at least state) that there are tight ends, and then there are tight ends. Shannon Sharpe comes to mind, but not in the Marcedes Lewis mold. Lewis plays an entirely different role, and consensus seems to be gathering that no one in the NFL does it better. I'd say the separation is different universes.

Roos-Monroe: Two time zones, but shrinking. I don’t have stats to back up what I’m about to write, but my impression is that the separation is closer to adjacent zip codes. We should find out very soon.

CJ-MJD: 744 total yards -- that resulted in zero more total TDs, and one fewer rushing TD. I’m guessing there was probably a pretty big separation in total blocks, too. Keep your gold teeth and stat line, I want my MJD. Fantasy points mean nothing to me.

Cushing-Smith: Monstrous Pujols home run. Was Pujols on steroids, too? Did Pujols play an entire season fearing he was dying of testicular cancer and just not bother to tell team doctors, coaches, agent, his mom? Or maybe Pujols is a pre-charter member of the “I just train too hard” club. I will say this, though, Pujols probably could have done as good a job covering Zach Miller. We’ll get a good chance to compare their performances starting Sunday. What? Oh, that's right. We have to wait until BC returns from his drug-induced suspension. Then we'll see the real BC.

That’s my perception.

well, Hell!

Why even play the damn games? We’re already penciled in for 0-16, playing in front of maybe the SMG Staff, if that, and everyone has one way tickets to LA. According to the national media, we have the equivalent of a bunch of strike players. Kinda of funny seeing as how this guy is on of our most famous fans:

guess my picture of Gene Hackman from the Replacements didn't take.

If I could find a picture of the crazy-ass ex cop in that movie, that's what my picture would be

dude, I don't get it

I posted a couple pictures on this board now they don’t take. No idea what I’m doing wrong.

I don't know

I usually have the same trouble loading pictures unless they are already loaded on my computer.

Jon Favreau?

He’s also the director of Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Elf.

I couldn’t remember his name.

i love it about cushing! i think if CJ took away his garbage stats he would have maybe 550 less yards and probably two less TDs. No offense to him, hes a great RB, but where was he in NE when they lost by 59? or when they had to pound the rock to kill the clock?

My biggest complaint with Kuharsky's comments....

is that we freaking beat the Texans twice last year, split with the Titans, and should have split with the Colts, so what the hell is the point he is trying to make? I get what Jack was saying, and it applies to every team…..wait a minute….wait for it….yep that may be it. Football is a team sport. To win, some guys have to step up, and the stars have to get the job done! I wonder if Kuharsky knows that? Oh yeah, Jack just said it!

He's starting to irritate me

How in the hell can he choose a steroid freak like Cushing over Darryl Smith?

obviously, since not using steroids makes smith weaker!

I think you guys missed the point on Cushing/Smith.

Albert Pujols tested positive for steroids some years ago. It’s pretty obvious to me Kuharsky was making a joke on the steroid-fueled performance of Cushing by comparing it to a steroid-charged “monstrous home run” from Pujols.

I didn't know that

about Pujols.
If Kuharsky is really being that subtle, I give him big props.

It ended up just slowly fading into a non-issue. This was before the whole steroids hunt, so the MLB just sort of buried it, and nothing ever came of it.
