Showtime For The NASCAR On ESPN Gang
ESPN has a big day planned across three of its networks. Sunday at 10AM ET host Ryan Burr will kick things off on ESPN2 with a one hour edition of NASCAR Now.
Most of the content will come from the ESPN on-air staff at The Brickyard. There are currently over fifteen ESPN announcers and reporters on the scene and no doubt the top story will be tires. This program has been consistently good in 2008 and the pressure is on as the ESPN portion of the Sprint Cup schedule begins Sunday afternoon.
Reach-up and change the remote to SPEED at 11AM for two hours of RaceDay. Live from the SPEED Stage host John Roberts will be joined by Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace. Two key live guests on the show will be Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson. Reporter Wendy Venturini's Real Deal segment will be with Sam Hornish who is an Indy Car veteran trying to make the transition to NASCAR.
A special feature on RaceDay will be Ken Squier offering an essay on the racing history of Indy. This will tie-in with a review of Tony Stewart's racing in several series at the track and a feature on how heartache in the big races at Indy always seems to come along at the worst possible time.
As Daly Planet readers may remember, this season RaceDay was shifted back an hour so it did not overlap with ESPN's NASCAR Countdown. This first week the Allen Bestwick led program begins at 1PM and runs for a full hour.
Bestwick has to move his chair over because ESPN has four panelists on the show from Indy. Brad Daugherty and Rusty Wallace will be joined by Ray Evernham for the pre-race show, and Daugherty and Wallace will remain as a part of the announce team during the race with Bestwick. This crew will also host the post-race programming.
At 2PM the dress rehearsal is over and ESPN takes to the air for the first Sprint Cup Series race in the network's seventeen race TV package. Dr. Jerry Punch will call the play-by-play with first year Lead Analyst Dale Jarrett and second season veteran Andy Petree. These three will handle all the ESPN and ABC Sprint Cup telecasts down the stretch.
Since Allen Bestwick has taken over Suzy Kolber's role in the Infield, it will be Shannon Spake joining the pit reporting team this season. Returning veterans Jamie Little, Dave Burns and Mike Massaro round-out the crew that will call the action on pit road. Last year, this group was roundly criticized for not following-up with drivers after accidents or when a car pulled directly into the garage. This season, they have been outstanding on the Nationwide Series races with those issues. Let's hope the focus does not shift on Sunday.
ESPN said that it is not unveiling any new gizmo's or TV tricks this season, just trying to refine the issues that bothered fans last year. Look for Jarrett to play a major role in this telecast bigger than just an analyst and for him to seek-out opinions from Wallace and Daugherty during the live race. Jarrett is a team-builder and that is exactly what this coverage lacked in 2007.
As Daly Planet readers are aware, this race last year was three hours of racing that led to ESPN only showing the winning car cross the finish line. Not one other car was shown at all. Fans got to see the winner waving, slowing down and then slowing down some more. Meanwhile, the real stories of the race were being played-out on the track. Hopefully, ESPN has learned the hard lesson that Fox did not earlier this year. Who wins may not always be the biggest story of the race in a season that is six months old.
ESPN has a great graphics package on the Nationwide Series, they have dumped the music videos and the hype completely. The network seems poised to make a big decision whether to cover the Sprint Cup racing action wherever it takes place or to just follow the leaders and the big names like last season.
After the race, ESPNEWS will kick into high gear and go live with the post-race press conference. I am told unofficially that this time there will actually be a reporter assigned for ESPNEWS and live interviews will be done. We shall see. Since the race is scheduled from 2 to 6PM, we may also see the 6PM SportsCenter focus on Indy.
SPEED is up next as they begin the Sunday night review programming. The SPEED Report will be at 7PM, Victory Lane at 8PM and Wind Tunnel at 9PM. This three hour block should have some good coverage of Indy from several different perspectives. Having John Roberts, Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace sitting in Victory Lane while ESPN is still on-the-air interviewing the winner is always interesting to watch. No word on the hosts of SPEED Report or guests on Wind Tunnel.
ESPN2 returns the one hour Sunday night wrap-up edition of NASCAR Now at 10PM hosted by Ryan Burr. This should be a good opportunity to see highlights of all three series that raced at Indy along with a final word on the tire issues and any late-breaking news. This show will be on every Sunday through the final race at Homestead.
So, from 10AM through 11PM Eastern Time NASCAR fans can overdose on all kinds of NASCAR shows. This post will host your comments about the "TV support shows" on Sunday. There will be an new post for in-progress comments up at Noon ET for the race itself, so please join us.

Overdose is the operative word in your piece, JD. I'm tired of it and it's still Saturday night.
After Q'ing today, I'm afraid we're picking back up right where we left off in Homestead. I don't expect anything different other than DJ and he can only do so much for the booth team.

Well, I'm on the fence to see the pre race show on ESPN right before the race. I'm afraid it is only going to be fluff.
I'll watch NASCAR Now and that will be it till the starting command.
What I hope to see and hear:
-wide camera angles
-non-repetitive announcers
-focus on the majority of the 43 drivers
-no fluff, no gimmicks, no music videos, no screen junk, etc
-good racing (well, that isn't the network's responsibility.)
I'm hoping for coverage that can put both Fox and TNT to shame.

From IMS:
The on-air IMS Radio Network team; the 15th Allstate 400 at the Brickyard: Bob Jenkins and Doug Rice, co-hosts; John Andretti, driver analyst; Donald Davidson, historian; Jerry Baker, Turn 1 reporter; Kevin Lee, Turn 2 reporter; Rob Albright, Turn 3 reporter; Chuck Carland, Turn 4 reporter; and Brett McMillan, Kevin Olson, Jake Query and Brad Gillie, pit reporters.
This should be a good race to LISTEN to with Jenkins calling the action.

According to the IMS Radio Network's website, there is no webcast of the race (at least not on their site).

ESPN is 0 for 2 with their "breaking news" this weekend as well...
First, it was Rusty Wallace's assertion that Newman was fired, which Roger Penske himself denied this evening... then, you get the "inside sources" that David Newton cites as saying the Truex has signed an extension.. Truex's reply? something to the effect of "that's (expletive). Retractions? Follow up? NEVER.
by the way, could we possibly get a little more Brett Favre information? I'm feeling that something is lacking in their coverage of this monumental story.
stay classy ESPN.

What I tire of is the same clips shown over and over with mindless predictions. Yesterday,Earnhardt had a problem with his rear camber passing Tech. Tim Brewer explained Camber on the cutaway car. Back in the booth, Jerry Punch stated that camber caused the cars to 'crab' or 'dog track' down the straightaways! Andy Petree tactfully corrected Punch by stating that it was 'Toe' that caused the crabbing. My point is that Punch has been at the top of Motorsports reporting for 25 years. How could he not know the difference between camber and toe and that camber doesn't cause the cars to go down the straightaways crooked? Bestwick should be in Punch's chair. Petree does a great job and Jarrett brings an absolutely top notch level of professionalism to Espn/ABC Nascar coverage.Give Dale a year and he'll be the best in the business!

With Rusty moving to a minor role this year, maybe it's time the "no racing" clause was removed from his contract.
I would like to see him run a couple of his favorite tracks before he's the wrong side of 55.

wayyyy too much pre-race for this fan: i won't be tuning in until 2 for the actual racing. the only part i regret missing will be the ken squier piece on the history of indy. everything else, i'll pick up either by browsing various racing sites or touching base here thru out the afternoon (so please be specific with comments!!!)
for me, the internet has given me a viable alternative to suffering thru hours of pre-race with little hard information being presented or discussed. i'll be stunned if anyone raises the rusty wallace fiasco and i suspect nascar would like any talk about "the trouble with tires" to just go away.
given how espn just butchered the qualifying coverage by insisting that showing us the actual qualifying runs was not as important as fluff and random noise, i'm prepared for an absolute hot mess this afternoon with coverage. BUT, i'm ready and willing to be proven wrong and i certainly hope espn wows us all.
but i ain't holdin' my breath.

If it doesn't involve cRusty it does not matter - in his mind.
Now on to all this pre race - did anyone else notice NA$CAR weekly have as much or more pre coverage than the Super Bowl? Way too much, I wish Raceday were head to head w/ NN. I'm gonna watch Raceday, then get stuff done till green flag.
JD you are so polite overdose is an understatement.

July 27, 2008 12:28 AM
Adam the only small point I beg to differ with you about is the last one. Last night the guys made what could have been a snoozer into an interesting race by covering mid pack racing, telling us about who was working his way back from 3 laps down to finish on the lead lap, and giving us the story of the race ON the Track.
And solid camera shot selection.
The rest of it you are dead on the money. Now lets see if they listened.

This tire drama is going to overshadow the ESPN debut, but it may be a break for Dr. Punch if the race is continually interrupted by NASCAR cautions.
There will be a storyline that he can keep going back to during the event rather than being forced to follow the action and create excitement.

I don't think DJ and AP ever really bought into the story line thing but I can't say the same for the rest of ESPN. Hopefully they don't make it THE story because it could be a non-issue by less than halfway (I seem to remember the same thing happening somewhere else before, with the dust on the back of the cars etc and that problem when away)

Rusty Wallace on NASCAR Now: "Indy is the biggest race of the year in my mind."
Rusty should have added in his "alleged mind"...:)
I missed the backwards look at the race comment...I wanted to catch the opening of RD JUST to miss it and see the talk about tire concern and Mr. Hunter saying something about offering Pocono tires...so something must have been said to get NASCAR's attention about the tires thank goodness.
I am with Red..if anybody wants to make comments about the pre race shows, please comment here in DETAIL. I don't have the energy to watch 4 hrs of pre race and then the race.
I will watch the SPEED REPORT tonight and WT...maybe VL since it's the brickyard..but VL needs to be 30 minutes imo.
Looks like a nice day...glad the dewpoints are down as yesterday and last night it was very MUGGY.

Re: Rusty's Newman comments and the Truex "story"--in today's media world, you never admit it if you made a mistake, you just keep going and hope people will forget it.
Sadly, they usually do.

Who chooses the camera placement at the tracks? Nascar, track owner or broadcaster?
I have noticed over the past year or two they always seem to have a camera about 10 feet ahead of where cars slide up into the walls coming out of the turns. I think with proper camera placement and cutting from one to another they could make even the boringest follow the leader race interesting, but it always seems that they want to use the camera up on a crane to just keep following the same driver.
And, was the digger cam a fox camera or is that just a camera that who ever is in charge of camera placement has always had?
Also on camera placement, is DirecTv bringing their own cameras to the track for the hotpass drivers or are they cameras that are being controlled by the broadcaster?
As you can see, I am interested in who owns the cameras at the track and controls their placement.
- July 27, 2008 at 12:05 PM
- Bill H said...
And an additional question on camera's. Do they video tape (or dvr) ever camera or only the stream that is going out on the air? Could someone "repackage" the camera shots from a race to show it in a different light (say Speed)? Or are all the other shots lost if they don't use them then?
- July 27, 2008 at 12:06 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
Normally it is a cooperative effort. Most of the older tracks have longtime facilities and positions for cameras.
At Indy, the track has its own production company and permanent locations for most cameras.
Digger was just a track-level cam that is available to any broadcaster. Some tracks like Iowa have them permanently mounted in the track.
DirecTV takes the race feed along with the various in-car camera angles that are provided by the in-car camera company BST.
Bill, there is a wide assortment of cameras that are recorded at the Sprint Cup races, here at Indy almost everything that moves is recorded.
Re-packaging the race does not have a big TV audience. The thrill of the race is the live aspect. The highlights and features that you see on Monday's TWIN and NASCAR Now are usually footage not seen and audio not heard during the live telecast. That is what makes it interesting.

For those not watching pre race - Goodyear has brought in Pocono tires for backup. If 1 team uses all 10 sets NASCAR will stop the race and ALL teams will have to switch over to Pocono tires. Mr. Zucker of Goodyear doubts it will be needed but he even admitted he doesn't know., since the track is not holding the rubber like last year. He also mentioned that this is the 1st race at Indy w/ COT so no one knows why the rubber isn't filling in the racing grooves. Should be interesting

We seem to think that ESPN has volulme issues. When they break to commercials it seems like the volume is twice as loud and we scramble to turn it down. So much type and the big story is tires which might become a non-story at the end of the day.

Why...WHY does ESPN/ABC or any other broadcasting organization choose to use a person who, at last count said..."and uh yah know" not one, not two but three times -- back to back -- prior to stringing together enogh words to form a complete sentence. Jenna Fryer, go back to school, learn to speak, write wonderfully as you are capable and stay away from radio and TV.

I aways see folks post on here that AB should be in the booth instead of Dr. Jerry Punch.
There was a reason NBC pulled AB from the booth, he got LOTS of complaints also.
I personally didn't care for him at all in the both, way to square. I love him in the positions he's in this season, he's the perfect host, and he does a great job on the Monday nights Nascar Now.
Dr. Jerry is good enough that he deserves prop's instead of the constant complaints.

stagger lee,
There are a variety of views on both talent. Punch had problems last season and even admitted he was struggling in the play-by-play role.
The reason Bestwick is a logical choice is he already works for ESPN, already is at the NASCAR races and could simply switch places with Punch and see how it goes.
I don't think you are going to hear a bad word about Jerry Punch personally or professionally on this blog. Just a guy in maybe the wrong role.

I couldn't find a column regarding the broadcast for the Nationwide race at ORP, so I'm posting here. It was one of the most poorly called races I've ever watched/heard. Whomever was partnered with Randy Lajoie sounded like he had the three-martini dinner a few times. Combining a syllable from two words to make up an nonexistent word, mismatching drivers and car manufacturers. I didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for the guy.

|Sunday, Oct 21, 2012 - 4:00 AM
The Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center: for more than 120 years, Mohawk ironworkers have raised America's modern cityscapes. They are called 'sky walkers' because they walk fearlessly atop steel beams just a foot wide, high above the city. Who are these Mohawk sky walkers? What is their secret for overcoming fear? Has 'sky walking' replaced an ancient rite of passage? Or is it the pure need to adapt in order to survive? And what is their life really like, when every Friday at quitting time, they jump in their cars and make the eight-hour drive up north to their families on the reservation? SKYDANCER is a feature length documentary that takes a provocative look at Indian life in the 21st Century: from the fragile hierarchy on top of the breath-taking steel structures in New York City to life 'on the Rez' where problems like unemployment and crime make it hard to see the pristine beauty of the surrounding lands.

The calendar year of 2012 was a year of crowning champions in Hudson County sports. Several schools and teams grabbed headlines for reaching the pinnacles of their respective sports. Some were familiar winners, and others reached back into their history to claim the top spot.
Let's take a look at the Top 10 Sports Stories for 2012.
1-St. Anthony caps undefeated season with second straight T of C title
It was another dream season for the fabulous Friars, who won all 32 games they played and culminated their sensational season by capturing their second straight NJSIAA Tournament of Champions title, defeating Plainfield in the IZOD Center in March. The Friars were led by All-American Kyle Anderson, who earned a scholarship to UCLA, and Jerome Frink, who went on to play at Florida International. The Friars ended the season with an astounding 65-game win streak that has carried on into the new season.
2-Hoboken wins North 2, Group I football crown, first since 2005
It used to be a given that Hoboken would play for an NJSIAA state championship every single year, but the Red Wings fell on some tough times in recent years, having not reached a title game since 2008 or won a crown since 2005. But in December, All-State running back Donte Carter and the cast of other speedy Red Wings put an end to the drought, soundly defeating Roselle Park, 39-9, to capture the North Jersey Section 2, Group I state title. It marks the eighth state title in the school's history, setting a new Hudson County record for state championships won.
3-Hudson Catholic wins Hudson County Tournament boys' basketball crown, first since 1975
Hudson Catholic had not won a Hudson County boys' basketball championship since 1975, back to the days of Jim Spanarkel and b>Mike O'Koren, both of whom went on to the NBA. But thanks to the prowess of Georgetown-bound Reggie Cameron and the slick ball handling of Kavon Stewart, the Hawks managed to rid 37 years of demons and defeat four-time defending champion St. Peter's Prep in the county in February. It's a remarkable story, considering that just four years ago, there was a plan in place to shut the school down.
4-Marist baseball team wins the NJSIAA Non-Public B crown
In perhaps one of the most amazing turnarounds in recent high school baseball memory, the Marist Royal Knights went from a middle-of-the-pack team to capturing the Hudson County Tournament title. Then, in June, the amazing comeback kids staved off elimination twice and rallied from six runs down in the title game, scoring four in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Newark Academy, 11-10, in the NJSIAA Non-Public B state championship game, the school's first state championship in baseball since 1991. It was a dream run for head coach Ron Hayward, a Marist alumnus, who was named Coach of the Year and was elevated to the role of athletic director as well at the school.
5-North Bergen stripped of NJSIAA Group IV state football title
In an unprecedented move in May, the NJSIAA's Executive Committee unanimously voted to overturn a decision originally rendered by the association's Controversies Committee and remove the NJSIAA North Jersey Section 1, Group IV state football championship that North Bergen won in thrilling fashion in December of 2011. The Controversies Committee had first ruled that North Bergen would be able to keep the championship it won at MetLife Stadium. They had defeated Montclair, 14-13, on the final play of the game. The original ruling said that the Controversies Committee could find no concrete proof that legendary football coach Vince Ascolese had illegally recruited two players, but the Executive Committee overturned the original ruling and said that North Bergen would not be considered the state champions for that season. The matter is currently under appeal with the state Commissioner of Education.
6-Local products Rodriguez, Hill earn spots on NFL rosters
It had been almost 20 years since two Hudson County products made the NFL at the same time, but it took place again in September of 2012, when North Bergen product Evan Rodriguez became a fourth round draft pick of the Chicago Bears and former St. Peter's Prep standout Will Hill worked his way onto the roster of the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants as a free agent signee. Both Rodriguez and Hill worked hard to get regular playing time with their respective clubs, although Hill had to sit out a four-game suspension for allegedly using a banned substance (Adderall). However, it appears as if both Rodriguez and Hill will be around the league for many years to come.
7-Hoboken resident Taylor selected by Brooklyn Nets
When the NBA draft took place in June, it was not known whether former St. Anthony and University of Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor would get selected. But to everyone's surprise, the Hoboken resident was selected by the local Brooklyn Nets in the second round of the draft and earned a spot on the Nets' roster, becoming the first of the talented players who won the 2008 National Championship at St. Anthony to reach the pinnacle of professional basketball. Taylor's playing time has been limited, but he has dressed for most of the Nets' games thus far this season.
8-Prep's Richardson wins state wrestling crown
The St. Peter's Prep wrestling program had never crowned a state champion before 2010, but former Reporter Male Athlete of the Year Kevin Innis came close, losing in overtime in the title bout. A year later, James Fox became the first Marauder wrestler to ever win a state championship, and in March of 2012, Lenny Richardson became the second and only the fourth ever from Hudson County to win a state crown. Richardson won the 145-pound state title in convincing fashion, knocking off three of the top seeds in order to do so.
9-Hurricane Sandy disrupts athletic season, damages Prep, Hoboken facilities
At the end of October, the entire East Coast was ravaged by the power of Hurricane Sandy, destroying many parts of the area. Hudson County was hurt by the effects of the super storm, with the entire athletic schedule being put on hold for over a week, with several postponements and cancellations. The athletic facilities at both St. Peter's Prep and Hoboken were severely damaged by the massive flooding that enveloped both downtown Jersey City and all of Hoboken.
10-Jackie Robinson Little League RBI wins national championship
In August, a team comprised of local products and representing the Jackie Robinson Little League in Jersey City went to Minneapolis and won the national championship at Major League Baseball's RBI (Rebuilding Baseball in the Inner-City), with the World Series title game being held in Target Field, the home of the Minnesota Twins. Jersey City has been participating in the RBI program for several years, but this was the first time that the locals won the World Series title.
Just missed list
There were other sports stories that just missed making the year-end Top 10. St. Anthony coach Bob Hurley was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame at the NJPAC Center in June. Jason Pineda of Weehawken and Sybil Lynch of Hoboken were presented with the Hudson Reporter Male and Female Athlete of the Year awards respectively in June. North Bergen hired a football coach named Jimmy Crane in February to replace the retiring Vince Ascolese, then quickly changed their minds a month later. In February, the New York Giants won the Super Bowl and many locals paid visits throughout the county, including Antrel Rolle in Guttenberg, where he resides. In February, the Lincoln High School girls' basketball team won its first county title since 1981. In June, the Caven Point Athletic Complex was renamed in the honor of the late sportswriter/coach Ed "The Faa" Ford. The North Bergen softball team won the Hudson County Tournament title in May. In November, Marist and Hudson Catholic returned to the NJSIAA football playoffs after some down seasons. The Rutgers University football team had a tremendous season thanks to the exploits of four Hudson County players. In July, former St. Peter's Prep baseball standout Mike Lang signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In November, Weehawken capped its best football season in recent memory, thanks to the efforts of all-everything back Damien Corredor, who re-wrote the school's record books.

Jay Z opened up recently to Vanity Fair about his history as a drug dealer, saying where he grew up, crack was unavoidable.
"There wasn't any place you could go for isolation or a break," he said. "You go in the hallway; (there are) crackheads in the hallway. You look out in the puddles on the curbs -- crack vials are littered in the side of the curbs. You could smell it in the hallways, that putrid smell; I can't explain it, but it's still in my mind when I think about it."
The rapper admitted that he learned some of his current business strategies dealing drugs. "I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer," he said. "To be in a drug deal, you need to know what you can spend, what you need to re-up. Or if you want to start some sort of barbershop or car wash -- those were the businesses back then. Things you can get in easily to get out of (that) life."
According to the Huffington Post, Jay-Z also talked about his family, calling his toddler daughter Blue Ivy his biggest fan and talked about his wife Beyonce.
He described courting the singer, saying she'd likely have dated him even if he had been a gas-station attendant
Uh ... really?
He admitted his line "She was a good girl 'til she knew me" is about Beyonce. Asked if his wife is a "good girl" anymore, Jay Z laughed. "Nah," he said. "She's gangsta now."

Atrazine, presently used on more than 85 percent of the corn acres in Missouri, is considered one of the most effective and least costly herbicides in use. University of Missouri Extension is helping farmers and communities manage atrazine runoff so the herbicide remains available.
Atrazine has a huge impact on Missouri economy - MU Extension is working with farmers to make sure it remains available.
Atrazine, presently used on more than 85 percent of the corn acres in Missouri, is considered one of the most effective and least costly herbicides in use. University of Missouri Extension is helping farmers and communities manage atrazine runoff so the herbicide remains available.
"If you can use atrazine, it is going to cost you about $12 an acre," said Bob Broz, MU Extension water quality specialist. "The next best product is going to cost you about $26 more per acre."
Missouri has more than 4 million acres of claypan soils, which are particularly susceptible to pesticide runoff. If half of those acres were planted to corn, prohibiting use of atrazine could increase annual production costs to farmers by $52 million.
Broz and colleagues are looking at different management practices to reduce pesticide runoff so that atrazine continues to be available to producers.
Current regulations allow three parts per billion of atrazine in the finished drinking water. Several years ago a number of northern Missouri communities, primarily in rural areas, started showing indications of increased atrazine levels in drinking-water reservoirs.
MU Extension and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources worked directly with people in those communities to identify ways to reduce pesticide runoff into these waters, Broz said.
"In one watershed, we recognized that many of the farmers were on the same corn-bean crop rotation," he said. "They would all have corn in at the same time and the following year all have beans, so one year would be very high with spikes for pesticides and the next year relatively low. The farmers worked among themselves to determine who would change their rotation habits. We then worked with the local Natural Resources Conservation Service and Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) to get other practices such as terraces that drained directly into grass waterways installed in critical areas."
Other partners such as the Missouri Corn Growers helped get the word out to their members on the importance of following label directions and reducing the risk of pesticide runoff.
Through the combined efforts of MU Extension and the communities, atrazine levels were reduced to manageable rates, Broz said.
MU Extension also offers watershed-planning management as a service, working with SWCDs to help establish planning teams to respond to different water quality concerns.
"Extension continues to work with agency partners to demonstrate to producers what kind of weed control you would get using a different variety of pesticides, what the costs are, how it affects your yield, your production rate and, of course, that bottom line," Broz said. "Extension is working hard on finding places where they can educate producers about their options."

Last month I attended a Planning and Zoning meeting. The Board was hearing public comment on the Article 600 revisions.
Last month I attended a Planning and Zoning meeting. The Board was hearing public comment on the Article 600 revisions.
The meeting room was packed with at the least 100 people. I would say that 95% were there in opposition of the article 600 revisions. The board listened to the comments, and said they would take them into consideration. Jerry Carroll even thanked those who did come and speak for taking the time to get involved in the process.
Another P&Z board meeting and on the agenda there is to be discussion on the article 600 revisions. First there is not one change to the 600 revisions. NONE! Even though they heard from the public they are to represent. They changed nothing! Then they voted to send it up to the commission. Did they do their job? No, they passed the buck. So all the praising the individuals for coming out and being part of the process really did not mean much to them. They decided that they would do nothing. When what was required of them was to act upon what their constituents wanted, even voiced in last months meeting. They passed the buck and the residents were short changed, bottom line.
Mr. Arnsmeyer a little word of advice. I would make sure the microphone was not on when you were intending to speak in private. I would also remind you that, according to Mr. Hathaway they discourage the board to talk about things within the P&Z to John Q Public. You are now a part of John Q Public and that means that the sitting board members need to work things out amongst themselves, and not have a back seat driver. The commissioners appointed these individuals, and they hand picked them because of the thought that they do bring knowledge and experience to the table. If you want you have the opportunity to speak with the individual who represents your township.
I am sure that you have had the opportunity to speak with her in the past. In closing I was extremely disappointed with the P&Z Board. The reason for this is they were not forced to sit on the board. They were asked and they accepted. They accepted the position, and the responsibility. This last meeting lacked, representation and all of those who said yea to passing it to the commission you need to own the fact that you did not represent your townships.

Not that it was a scary time, but the pain from crashing his knee into a curb at 45 mph in the Tour Down Under was the least of his worries.
"It didn't even hurt that bad," Duggan said Wednesday from his new home here. "I feel like when I've stubbed my toe or something stupid like that I've hurt way more. What hurt more was as I was laying there 30 seconds after I crashed, the most pain was just the realization that 'Oh, man, I think I'm hurt. Oh, man, all the months of work are gone, that the next months of racing and my goals are gone.' "
Initial reports indicated the U.S. road race champion would have an extended stay in an Australian hospital and might miss several months as he recuperated. Duggan, who returned to Colorado on Monday, said he expects to race next in the Tour of California on May 12-19. The 2001 Fairview High School graduate limped around Wednesday in a full leg brace and shook hands with his left hand. His goals, shockingly, remain intact.
He said he expects to get back on his bike in six weeks, ride with no restrictions in eight or nine weeks and race in 12 weeks.
"It's a broken bone, and broken bones are fairly standard," Duggan said. "So, I'm lucky for that."
The problem is the timing.
Then, in the first race in his new uniform, Duggan winds up in a hospital.
"It's certainly not the debut I wanted," he said. "I was fit and motivated and ready to go. I blew out the cobwebs the first couple days of racing there and learning how my new team operated and how we communicated. I started feeling really comfortable and let her rip on that stage I crashed on."
The crash came on Stage 3, which started in Unley and finished with six 12-mile laps through the town of Stirling.
"I was going high speed through a roundabout, 45 mph or something," Duggan said. "I don't even know. I was just going through the roundabout like I had the last four times. It wasn't a new section or anything.
"I just dumped it in the corner. I don't know if someone pushed me or if it was pilot error. I just know I went from on the bike to sliding on the ground in a split second."
Add the broken tibia to Duggan's long injury history that includes a brain hematoma, three broken bones in his left arm, a broken shoulder and a broken elbow. The collarbone?
Duggan can't remember how many times he has broken it.
"I'm not afraid," Duggan said. "I'm certainly more calculated with my risks. At this point in time, I wasn't pushing it or taking a risk. That's how a lot of crashes happen in cycling, in the ho-hum moment of a race when you're not expecting it."
That's only one reason he's not changing his style.
"I like to go fast," he said. "That's one thing I notice after being injured and you can't do anything. What do you miss? I hate riding the (stationary) trainer. I don't miss the exercise or the endorphins.
"But I do miss going fast."

NUTRITION We all want to include our dogs in our holiday celebrations, but hopefully, you're aware that sharing table scraps with your dog isn't always the best idea.
HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so it's time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.

TOKYO — An atomic research lab in northern Japan has reported a radiation leak that may have affected about 50 people, though none were hospitalized and no impact was expected outside the facility, the lab's operator said Saturday.
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency said the accident occurred Thursday in its Hadron Experimental Facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex in the town of Tokaimura, where at least two previous radiation accidents have occurred.
Researchers were trying to generate particles by directing a proton beam at some gold when their equipment overheated, causing the evaporation and release of some radioactive gold, the government-run JAEA said in a statement. The leak originally was thought to have been contained inside the lab, and when a ventilation fan was switched on the radiation spread, it said.
The JAEA said it was studying the potential environmental impact from the radiation leak, but did not expect any effect on surrounding areas.
On Saturday, officials from the JAEA and the research complex apologized for the accident. The minister of Education, Science and Technology, Hakubun Shimomura, described it as "regrettable."
Four researchers were tested after the incident, with the highest radiation dose found to be 2 millisieverts, the JAEA statement said. That's near the average annual background dose for someone living in Japan. Nuclear workers generally are limited to 100 millisieverts of exposure over five years.

LOWELL -- A new pizzeria will open in the former Fortunato's and Club 44 location on Palmer Street this spring.
Named Tremonte Restaurant and Pizzeria, the restaurant has received city building permits and a liquor license, and is undergoing remodeling, owner Anthony Contarino said. It will specialize in stone-fired pizza but will also have a broad range of other offerings.
Contarino also owns Tremonte Restaurant and Bar, and is part owner of The Brickyard, both in Woburn.
The site, 44 Palmer St., was formerly Fortunato's and Club 44, the site of a brawl last February in which 14 were arrested and three officers were injured.

GamesIndustry International has the NPD Group's estimate that Darksiders II sold just 247,000 units in the U.S. in August, saying it reflects how weak game sales have been lately that this still managed to place THQ's action/RPG sequel on the top ten bestseller list for the month. They were unable to get a comment on this from THQ, but have a reaction from analyst Micael Pachter who presumes the game has sold about a million units internationally by now, but that he doesn't think the game will be profitable, saying: "my understanding is that breakeven is greater than 2 million units, so it's not likely to get much higher than that."

Chiefs RB Johnson reportedly to face assault charge in December
ESPN.com news services
Updated: October 14, 2008, 1:58 AM ET
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson will answer a charge of simple assault December in Kansas City Municipal Court, the Kansas City Star reported on Tuesday night.
Citing police and court documents, the newspaper said that a 26-year-old woman accused Johnson of pushing her on the side of the head at a nightclub on Feb. 24, 2008.
Johnson's lawyer, Kevin E.J. Regan, told the newspaper that his client will be vindicated at trial. He claimed that the woman did not inform management, security officers or police at the club of the incident but waited 11 hours to report the alleged assault.
Capt. Rich Lockhart, a police spokesman, said charges did not come for six months because the police force was working on more pressing cases. The delay made if difficult to find a witness, who was finally interviewed in July or August.
That witness then picked Johnson out of a lineup.
"One has to question the fairness of a lineup shown six months later, involving someone whose photograph is published often in the media," Regan said, according to the Star.
Johnson could be sentenced to six months in jail and a $500 fine if convicted.

Just to beat a dead horse some more.
Last month, Crennel fired himself as defensive coordinator because he wanted to spend more time and attention on the offense. The Chiefs were averaging 357.5 yards and 16.6 points then. Theyre averaging 270.3 yards and 10.3 points since.
Read more here: Chiefs' level of incompetence reaches new heights - KansasCity.com
I also heard on the radio today that the Defense since Gibbs has taken over has improved since Crennel handed it over.
The guy took a promising team this year and ran into into the ground. He is old schooled Football and the came has passed him by.
His excuse for keeping Breaston on the side line is that he thought the guys he played gave them a better chance to win. Wow, just think how bad Breaston must be.

Immaculata sustains loss while Leavenworth, Pleasant Ridge and Lansing all fall as well.
The problem for the Lady Raiders Tuesday wasn't making baskets. It was taking them.
Turnovers prevented Immaculata from having even a puncher's chance at scoring. Combine that lack of offensive execution with the sharp shooting of Troy's Alanie Stock, and the Raiders saw a 22-point halftime deficit become a 40-9 defeat.
"Other teams have the tape on us," Imac coach Terry Jordan said. "They have been manning up on us so far away from the basket that we're trying to force things that aren't there (and turning it over)."
To quantify the struggles, in the Lady Raiders' best quarter, the second, Imac shot 50 percent. But with eight turnovers, they only managed six shots. With that few attempts, even a 100 percent shooting clip would not have equaled Troy's output.
The loss makes it seven straight for the Lady Raiders and drops their record to 4-11.
"What's going on with us right now is all about coaching," Jordan said. "When the mental aspect of what you're trying to do gets away from your team, it's my job to figure how to get that back into play, and right now I'm not doing that well."
Both teams started slowly, with the first two baskets (both by Troy) not coming until halfway through the opening quarter.
In the second, each of Imac's three made baskets were followed by a Troy response. Stock then got locked in at the top of the key, and made five baskets, two of them 3-pointers.
Imac slowed its visitors considerably in the second half, but unfortunately, the Raider offense couldn't get it going. Immaculata posted just a single point in the half, a last-second free throw.
The schedule doesn't get any easier when the team hosts Jefferson County North Friday at 6 p.m.
"We'll be competitive in that for as long as we're able to play smart," Jordan said. "We'll definitely play better than we did tonight."
Furious comeback not enough for LV
Facing a 14-point deficit entering the final period Tuesday, things looked bleak for the Lady Pioneers.
However, a 9-0 run to begin the fourth at Lawrence Free State breathed new life into the Leavenworth girls' basketball team.
"We got them sped up and we just started to finally play," LV coach Derek Zeck said. "We missed shots after that though. We were cutting away, cutting away and then we just couldn't finish."
After getting within a bucket's reach of tying the ball game, the Lady Pioneers could not get over the hump against the Lady Firebirds and lost 63-58.
"We just didn't finish offensively all night," Zeck said. "We also gave up 63 points, but it's hard to defend turnovers and quick missed shots. You also have to give credit to them (Free State) for how they defended us."
Tashia Jones ended up with 23 points for a Lady Pioneer high while Tyler Johnson added 13.
The loss snaps the team's two-game winning streak. Leavenworth, 9-6, will be at Shawnee Mission South Friday for a 5:30 p.m. contest.
Lady Lions stumble in second half
Tuesday night the Lansing girls' basketball team looked to have chance at their third win of the season.
Unfortunately for the Lady Lions, Bonner Springs had other ideas. Thanks to a furious midgame run that put the Lady Braves in full control, the visitors knocked off Lansing 64-46.
"I was really proud of how we battled in the first half and stayed with them," Lady Lions coach Christine Robinson said. "We're having a hard time putting four consistent quarters together. That's one of struggles that we're trying to work on."
A 6-0 run to end the first half gave Bonner a 26-20 edge. The Lady Braves continued that streak into the third and didn't allow Lansing to score again until it was 35-20.
"I was frustrated with our lapses in the third quarter, but I thought we did a good job trying to fight back," Robinson said. "In the end, it was just too late and time ran out."
Mikayla Zielinski led Lansing with 12 points while Morgan Bromell had nine and Kjia Cammock added eight.
Lansing, 2-14, will play at Bishop Ward Friday at 5:45 p.m.
— James Howey
From bad to worse for PR girls
Another night, another loss for the Pleasant Ridge girls' basketball team.
After starting the season 7-1, the Lady Rams sustained a sixth-straight defeat Tuesday when it lost 37-25 at Horton.
"We have no will to win right now," Ridge coach Mike Koontz said. "It's everything. We are not making shots, not playing defense and simply not showing a passion to win."
A sluggish start again ruined the Lady Rams early. The team posted just nine points in the first half to face a 22-9 deficit at the break.
In the second half, Ridge never mounted a serious comeback.
Jordan Adams led the team in scoring with seven while Ashten Langley added six.
PR, 7-7, will host Oskaloosa Friday at 5:30 p.m.

CHICAGO – Marian Hossa celebrated his return to the lineup with a goal and two assists, and the Blackhawks defeated the Detroit Wings 4-1 on Sunday night to snap a two-game losing streak.
Ben Smith had a goal and assist, and Nick Leddy and Jonathan Toews scored for the defending Stanley Cup champion Hawks, who are struggling to keep up with the top contenders in the Western Conference.
Despite the win, the Hawks are 11-8-7 in 2014 and remained fifth in the conference and third in the Central Division.
Gustav Nyquist scored for the injury-depleted Red Wings, who are desperate for wins as they try to get into the playoffs for the 23rd straight time.
Chicago's Corey Crawford made 19 saves and Detroit's Jimmy Howard had 26.
The 35-year-old Hossa was back in action for the first time in two weeks. The right wing was knocked out with an upper-body injury in the Blackhawks' 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh at Soldier Field on March 1.
The banged-up Red Wings played without 10 injured players, including stars Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Forward Todd Bertuzzi joined the list on Sunday, sitting out after suffering a lower-body injury on Friday against Edmonton.
The Blackhawks faced Detroit for the second time since beating them in overtime in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series last year to complete a comeback from a 3-1 deficit. The Red Wings defeated Chicago 5-4 in a shootout on Jan. 22 at Joe Louis Arena.
The Blackhawks and Red Wings were division rivals for the past 31 years until Detroit moved from the Western to Eastern Conference this season. The NHL Original Six teams were grouped together in the Central Division for the previous 19 seasons and in the Norris Division for 12 years before that.
The Blackhawks outshot the Red Wings 11-5 in the scoreless first, but neither team generated sustained pressure or many prime scoring chances.
The Blackhawks turned up the pressure early in the second and outshot Detroit 14-7 in the period.
Howard came up with close-in pad saves on Hossa and Niklas Hjalmarsson during a flurry about 5 minutes into the period to keep it scoreless.
Leddy's power-play goal, on Chicago's 19th shot, finally opened the scoring at 8:44 of the second. His drive from just inside the left point sailed through a screen and slipped between Howard's pads.
Nyquist tied it at 1 with 4:50 left in the period with a power-play goal that deflected in off the skate of Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook.
After the Red Wings had controlled the puck in the Chicago zone, Nyquist shot from the inside of the edge of the right circle. The shot appeared to be heading wide of the lower left corner of the net, but struck Seabrook's left foot and got past Crawford.
Smith put Chicago back in front 2-1 on a rebound with 14 seconds left in the period.
Defenseman Duncan Keith carried the puck down the right wing boards, closed to the circle and then fired through a scrum. Howard got a piece of the shot, but Smith muscled in the loose puck from the edge of the crease.
Hossa gave Chicago a 3-1 lead at 6:33 of the third. After taking a feed from Patrick Sharp, Hossa raced down the right wing, cut in around Detroit defenseman Brendan Smith and beat Howard from close range.
Hossa's set up Toews' short-handed goal with 2:10 left that iced it.
After stealing the puck from Johan Franzen near the Chicago blue line, Hossa skated down the right wing. He pulled up and then fed Toews, who cut to the net and tucked in a shot.
NOTES: Chicago forward Brandon Saad didn't return for the third period after playing a total of 11 shifts. The Blackhawks didn't disclose the reason. ... Detroit RW Jordin Tootoo, recalled from Grand Rapids of the AHL on Saturday, filled in for Bertuzzi. ... Red Wings D Jakub Kindl was a healthy scratch. ... Before the game, Joel Quenneville hinted that C Teuvo Teravainen, one of the Blackhawks' top prospects, might join the team soon. Teravainen's team in Finland, Jokerit, was eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday. That paves the way for the 19-year-old forward, drafted in the first round by Chicago in 2012 (18th overall), to sign an NHL contract.

QUEEN CITY, Mo. – Putnam County held a 45-33 lead with 5:15 to go in the third quarter against the Marceline Tigers. In the next 45 seconds Deion Hunt would pick up two personal fouls and head to the bench with four.
Led by Cody Quint and Trey Ream the Midgets would build their lead entering the fourth, only to have the Tigers cut it down to 60-53 with six minutes to play. That's when Hunt and Riley Wood, who also picked up his fourth foul re-entered the game and the Midgets went on a to close it out 79-64, and advanced to the Class 2 District 6 title game.
"We talked about getting out to a good start and we did that. We wanted to focus on winning every quarter and we did that too. We worked the ball down low to our post players early on and they didn't seem to have an answer for it," said Putnam County head coach Jamie Tipton.
Marceline had their opportunities to get back into the game, as not only Hunt and Wood had to sit with foul trouble, but also swingman Corey Lewis had to sit off and on with three fouls. A side-affect of all the PC fouls was that the Tigers were shooting the double-bonus in the third quarter, and although they cut the Midgets lead to six on more than one occasion, they never got closer than two possessions.
"When we win big games it's because of our defense, it's not because of our offense. That has been true for us pretty much all year, when we didn't play good defense we would get throttled by good teams. Tonight we stepped up like we knew we had too," said Tipton.
Ream and Hunt led the Midgets with 21, but the key factor for the Midgets was the play of Quint. When the game could have gotten tight he drove to the hoop scoring and passing off to others for easy layups. He also toyed with the Marceline pressure at times, as he only had one turnover playing almost the entire 32 minutes, while putting in 12 points of his own.
"I thought we played hard we knew we had to get a win tonight and we did that. When Corey and Deion had three fouls I knew someone had to step and get the ball in the hole," said Quint.
Tipton was proud of the effort that his bench put forward.
"Hats off to my bench I guys. I had to go a little bit deeper than I normally do tonight, but they were key for us," said Tipton.

as the Red Sox evolve from the Manny-Ortiz home run duo to a top-to-bottom, grinding lineup.This is bizarre. Haven't we been hearing about the 1-to-9 grinders for at least five years? Hell, we heard that back in the dark pre-Tito years when the Pro was batting 7th and 8th?

CN, Coalspur sign transportation agreement that includes rail line constructionWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
Coalspur Mines Limited has reached a definitive agreement with Canadian National (CN) for the transportation of thermal coal from its Vista Coal Project to Ridley Terminals Inc., as well as final agreement with CN regarding the construction of the railway line to serve the mine. The rail line construction agreement will govern the construction of a 6.5-kilometer (four-mile) long line providing CN access to Coalspur's loading site. The rail line will enable Coalspur to load the entire train in one continuous load. Subject to regulatory approval, construction activity is expected to begin in Q3 2013 and be completed in early 2015. CN will ensure the rail line meets its design and construction specifications. "We are very pleased to have finalized these contracts with CN," said Gill Winckler, Coalspur president and CEO. "The agreements provide further clarity and stability over our operating costs in the initial years of mining at Vista. Rail and port logistics costs account for approximately 50 percent of Coalspur's Freight on Board cash costs, which are now under contracted rates. The definitive rail transportation agreement with CN is for a seven-year period, effective from Jan. 1, 2013 and extending through to Dec. 31, 2019. CN will supply the equipment to carry Coalspur's coal to tidewater. The agreement includes transportation of up to 12 million tons per annum of coal and defined rates with agreed escalation and fuel surcharge calculations.

Available Lessons
Forces-Review Games
Grade: 8
The standard method of completing a chapter is to have the student review 3 ways: Cooperative review questions from text; MindJogger Game DVD from text with winning team participants receiving 5 Extra Credit points; BrainPops subject specific game on Internet.
Understanding Conservation of Mass in Chemical Reactions
Grade: 11
Often students cannot understand from chemical formulas how atoms exist in compounds, and how they are rearranged during reaction. Furthermore, the concept of balancing reactions eludes them when they cannot actually see the individual atoms. To illustrate a reaction for them, They are split into groups and given "bingo" type chips of different colors. They then put them into groups as reactants, representing the compounds that enter the reaction. They will then break the bonds of the reactants and attempt to rebond them as products. In most reactions, they will see that without balancing they do not have enough "chips" to complete the reaction. However, if they add more of one or more of the reactants, they can then complete the reaction because they now have enough "chips". They will then transfer findings to a sheet, written as a balanced formula equation.
Understanding the Law of Conservation of Mass
Grade: 11
Using the COW, students will use either the program FRAMES or the flip camera and movie maker (their choice) to animate a chemical reaction in order to illustrate that all atoms involved are present at the beginning and end of the reaction, and that matter is neither created or destroyed.

Website was was going to be redesigned soon anyway
If you can't find what you're looking for on the City of Taft website, that's because the old one has been taken offline and a simple status page has replaced it.
Human Resources Director Lonn Boyer said the city was in the process of updating its website (http://www.cityoftaft.org) anyway, but now there have been security breaches.
Someone has broken into the website twice in the past 1-1/2 months and posted advertisements for payday loans on it, Boyer said Wednesday.
So the city decided the best thing to do was just to take the old one down and put up a temporary status page until the new, improved website is ready.
The City Council approved spending up to $8,820 at its Dec. 19 meeting to pay Municipal CMS to design a new website and then $1,500 per year to host and maintain it.

text: Do a little research on Bryce Brown's background and you'll quickly realize this was a young player who never wanted to attend college. The No. 1 high school recruit in the entire nation in 2009 -- ranked ahead of Trent Richardson, Matt Barkley, and Lamar Miller among many higher-profile others -- Brown would bounce around schools and perform ineffectively when he played. His college career consisted of 13 games. Brown did just enough to satisfy his NFL eligibility during a three-carry 2011 season at Kansas State, quit the team, and promptly entered the 2012 NFL draft. I don't think Brown cared where he was drafted because he never showed any desire to build a resume. Brown wasn't invited to the Combine, and even admitted in an interview with NFL Network's Mike Mayock that he didn't expect to be selected. Brown did demonstrate NFL-caliber measurables with a 4.48 forty, 34-inch vertical, and 22 bench-press reps at the K-State Pro Day, measuring in at 5-foot-11 1/2 and 223 pounds. A seventh-round flier pick by the Eagles, Brown wound up earning 115 carries and four spot starts as a rookie when LeSean McCoy battled a late-season concussion. I re-watched and charted every offensive touch Brown received from Week 11 on (a total of 96). These were my takeaways: Brown's lack of passion for college football does not define him as a football player. He is an extremely aggressive runner, often to a fault. Aside from four fumbles (three lost), the biggest problem with Brown's first-year game tape was a maddening tendency to bounce runs that were designed to go inside, to the outside. Brown is a 225-pound power back whose strength is getting north-south downhill. When he tried turning inside runs into perimeter runs, Brown became an east-west "run bouncer," leaving solid 3-5 yard gains on the field in favor of boom-or-bust attempts to get the edge. This made Brown highly susceptible to lost-yardage and no-gain runs. Two quotes from respected color commentators who worked Brown's games: "That's the third time already he's tried to bounce it outside, and you don't do that in this league." -- NBC's Cris Collinsworth, Philadelphia @ Dallas, Week 13. "I like Bryce Brown when he gets north and south. When he gets too carried away with his speed laterally, no. North and south, that kid's got a chance to be special." -- NFL Network's Mike Mayock, Cincinnati @ Philadelphia, Week 15. Brown's propensity for run bouncing was particularly evident in Philly's Week 14 matchup with Tampa Bay. He was held to a pathetic six yards on 12 carries. Nine of Brown's runs in that contest went for one yard or worse. In fairness to seventh-rounder Brown, he was a raw rookie running behind the league's most banged-up offensive line, and constantly facing backfield penetration. By late in the season, the Eagles were fielding just one of their projected Opening Day front-five starters (LG Evan Mathis). Run bouncing is fixable, and so is the fumbling. Brown's size-speed combination can't be coached, and that's what gives him big-time NFL potential. Brown is so big that his open-field speed can deceive defenders. I thought Collinsworth worded this nicely: "I'll tell ya, I have seen this so much," Collinsworth said while breaking down a long run in the Dallas game. "Danny McCray the victim this time, watch the bad angle he takes. People just cannot anticipate the speed of Bryce Brown. It happened in the game last week (versus Carolina). They think they've got it figured out and this kid runs about a 4.3-something forty-yard dash. And I have seen more NFL safeties taking the wrong angle to try to catch him ... he is explosive." Brown is built powerfully to the point that he almost looks wide. He is physical with plus burst and acceleration, and genuinely rare speed for a man his size. During Brown's coming-out Week 12 demolition of the Panthers -- he rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns -- ESPN's Jon Gruden described Brown as "a big back who can get the corner and finish." Brown consistently runs through arm tackles. Despite weighing at least 15 more pounds than both David Wilson (breakdown here) and Lamar Miller (breakdown here), Brown possesses similar breakaway jets in the open field. Brown is not quite a punishing runner, but I think he could develop that aspect of his game. He flashed the ability to be a runner who piles up yards after contact, relentlessly shucking tacklers. Another positive on Brown's rookie tape was his pass-catching ability. He has natural hands and catches the football with them as opposed to letting passes get into his body. I thought the latter was an issue with David Wilson. I also thought Brown demonstrated some nifty footwork -- particularly on upfield cutbacks -- but there was limited wiggle to his game. He doesn't try to make defenders miss with lateral jukes or shake and bake. If Chip Kelly's Eagles get Brown to perform more professionally -- running within offensive design and becoming ball secure -- he will be an ideal complement to shifty, elusive starter LeSean McCoy. And I think Brown could be an every-down sustainer if McCoy went down again. Andy Reid's Eagles used Brown in a wide array of formations, ostensibly with the goal of springing him into space. He handled the football on delayed draws, screens, direct snaps, stretch-zone plays, and shotgun runs. Brown's extensive experience in the 'gun could help shorten his learning curve in Kelly's shotgun-based offense. Of the 96 first-year touches I charted, 48 (exactly 50 percent) came out of the 'gun. Brown only touched the ball eight times (8.3 percent) in the I formation. Brown was obviously a project as a rookie; a developmental ball of clay his coaching staff still must mold into a more consistent player. I think Brown has the potential to be a physically imposing downhill runner with breakaway speed. And I am excited to see his role in a Kelly offense that historically utilizes more than one back.
