Tako Tuesdays: Happy Holidays, Now Fight!

The main purpose of Tako Tuesdays is to foster debate, debate that usually devolves into a shouting match about personal preferences, which is what the essence of the Internet. Well, that and porn. Telling people their opinions are wrong and porn. That's the Internet. Which brings me to a Christmas-edition of Tako Tuesdays. In the comments section, I am leaving a series of bold and potentially outlandish statements. I'm not leaving any reasoning for why I feel this way. I don't even believe some of these statements. I'm just trying to stir up debate.
Here are all my claims, for organization's sake.
Chad Ochocinco is the NFL's most important player.
LeBron James will never win an NBA title, and will eventually be looked at as a disappointment.
The Boise State Broncos will win the FBS National Championship next season.
Ernie Kent will still be the Oregon men's basketball coach in five years.
The US men's soccer team won't make it out of the group stage at next summer's World Cup.
The Oregon women's basketball team will make the Final Four before the men's team does.
An NFL player will die on the field in the next three years.
A BCS Playoff will happen before Barack Obama is out of office.
The WNBA is more fun to watch than NASCAR.
The Oregon Ducks will win an FBS National Championship in the next ten years.
Ready...GO!

Chad Ochocinco is the NFL’s most important player.
It's spelled "T-H-E-I-M-P-A-C-T"
I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
Ochocinco could be the most importand player
in the NFL. But only if he goes through with changing his name to Hachi Go. Only then will it be certain.

Technically it would be Hachigo, since Ochocinco is “eight-five” rather than eighty-five.

I watch the NFL for competition, and because collegiate football is generally not played on Saturdays. I do not watch the NFL to see maniacs running around with a Kanye West Jesus complex while spouting jarble with virtually no meaning.

Eh. For the people that watch football to be entertained by celebrations and extracurricular theatrics, he is really important. For everyone else that just enjoys good football, he is a top-flight receiver, but far from the best in the league. I really like Chad, but if he stopped playing tomorrow, I would still watch a lot of NFL football.
Now get off my lawn.
Like most comedians
He’s hit or miss. Sometimes he brings a spark into the No Fun League, but sometimes he just comes off like an idiot.
I am one of those curmudgeons who STOPPED watching the NFL because of the lame-ass sack dances and TD celebrations (and because I grew up an L.A. Rams fan, and couldn’t get really excited about St. Louis, or the L.A. Raiders for that matter).

I think he’ll only be looked at as a disappointment if he doesn’t win a championship while playing several years on a team that has given him a solid supporting cast. Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan…all those guys had one or two OTHER guys around them that were better than any teammates LeBron has had so far. And the media recognizes that and doesn’t blame LeBron for it.

I wasn't disappointed in Kevin Garnett going 13 years without a title

Agreed. I could care less about the England draw. Top 2 get through, so Algeria and Slovenia games are the important ones. Unless you want to avoid the Germans in the 2nd round. If that’s the case, you better finish 1st so you play the #2 seed from the other group.

It’s tough because everyone thinks it’s such an easy group. Every team in the WC is a top 32 national team in the world. Even if Slovenia and Algeria seem third-world-y to us, it doesn’t mean they have terrible teams. All things considered, it is a favorable draw, but if the US doesn’t make it out, everyone will be up in arms about it, when really they have three good opponents in front of them.
So basically what I’m saying is, I think they’ll make it out, but will be opposed to the “backlash” if they don’t (in quotes because we Americans can’t really drum up too much emotion when it comes to soccer).
What is this backlash you speak of? I’d be willing to bet that if you were to ask your typical Joe sports fan one week before the WC begins who else is in the U.S. group you’d be lucky to get even a response from 25% of them.

I couldn't care less about the US Mens national team
I HATE LANDON DONOVAN! There…I said it.
There’s many guys on the the team that I follow closely, but Landon is not one of them. Never has been, never will be. The coddling he gets from everyone in the US soccer media is beyond me. Player of the year my ass! Dude hasn’t been playing in a competitive club league for years and the crown prince of US soccer is a fraud. If he’s who we’re pinning all of our hopes on, then screw it, I’ll support the Three Lions instead.
You mean to tell me that he’s more deserving than Timmy Howard, Jay Demerit, or even Clint Dempsey?!? Psssh! The way the national team and the MLS hold each other in a lovers embrace is just plain embarrassing at this point. Here’s an idea, change your season schedule up so you’re playing when the rest of the world is and you’re able to have international breaks just like everyone else does. Doing so would allow you to keep Beckham and even ol’ Landycakes on the club roster leading up to the World Cup/Euro competitions.
All that being said, if we can’t beat Algeria and Slovenia, we don’t deserve the spotlight we so desire. Finishing 2nd and getting our asses handed to us against Germany in the first round of knock out wouldn’t be all that bad, and I really don’t see the boys from England mucking things up and finishing behind us in the group.

I don't like him personally,
but have watched every USMNT televised match this year, and he has, by a wide margin, been the most consistent performer, keeps a high pace of play late into games, and has been the catalyst for a huge proportion of our goals. If he hasn’t done enough to shed the Landycakes moniker from his detractors this year, then I suspect he never will.
Dempsey is brilliant in spurts but also looks lost and uninterested a lot of the time. Demerit has played well, but I wouldn’t choose him over Donovan.
Howard, well, Howard would probably start for England, and most other national teams too. He’s brilliant. How often do keepers win player of the year, though?

I’m really curious to see whether Donovan actually gets playing time at Everton come January. I’m hoping he’s become a better player since his last tries in Europe. I’m betting he’ll get used like Altidore at Hull, mostly a late sub if used at all.
by HoodRiverDuck on Dec 22, 2009 12:59 PM PST up reply actions
Ya, I’m not really sure how much time he’s going to get either. I would assume that he’d play up front, but am not sure about that either. Does he have the service to play out on the wings in the EPL? I think not. Compared to all of the other strikers they have though, I could see him playing a role like Owen does for ManU. Little man giving one of the regulars some time off, but only if he can be paired with a bigger dude up front to play off of.

It's just so hard to tell from Galaxy and USMNT games
because those teams don’t have great finishers. I’ve seen him make some great crosses that get absolutely flubbed. And he’s not a superb finisher himself…he seems best as an attacking midfielder, maybe could sub for Tim Cahill.

Limit the padding that these giants are allowed to wear. I suggested to a coworker the other day that if they went back to the ol’ single bar helmets from back in the day, dudes like Ray Lewis would be much less willing to run full-speed with their head and neck so exposed. The best thing I ever did back in the day was play a bit of rugby when football wasn’t in season. You quickly learn how to take someone down without all that added protection and padding. It’s a mental thing more than anything else. Want to slow the game down? Have them take off the pads. Now let’s see who’s willing to run a 60 yd. sprint into the middle of a wedge block!

Defending maligned chants since 2009
Erroneous!
NASCAR is legit. I will defend NASCAR until I die, and this is coming from a 21-year old guy from Orange County, CA who goes to Oregon; not exactly the “target demographic”. Think about this: these guys are going roughly 200 mph into a 25* concrete embankment with cars mere inches on either side of them. Now tell me that is not an athlete.
Plus, as a sports business major I REALLY need to take umbrage with this claim. More Fortune 500 companies advertise in NASCAR than any other sport. More people watch NASCAR than any other sport. An average NASCAR race—this doesn’t even include the mega-tracks like Bristol, Talladega, and Daytona with 200,000 seats—are the most attended sporting events in the country. Sponsoring even a consistent 20th-place-in-the-standings car is more valuable than even an NFL team practice jersey/practice facility title sponsorship, an NBA/NHL arena naming-rights sponsorship, or a field-level Yankee Stadium sponsorship.
Sorry for the blabbering, but NASCAR ftw. ;)
Personally, I can’t stand NASCAR and would rather watch Full House reruns than any car racing.
You have a point about attendance and advertising dollars and whatnot, but the statement was “more fun to watch.” If I had to watch either one NASCAR event or one WNBA game, I choose the WNBA game, and I think a lot of other people do too. How many of those 200,000+ people go to these things for the entire EVENT surrounding the race rather than just the race itself? It’s more of a culture thing than simply a sports competition.

Dont get me wrong, I despise nascar. But many other forms of auto racing are fantastic spectacles.

Put them in the same car and Frenchie will still win. Especially if said Frenchie is Sebastian Loeb. I am saddened by Subaru pulling out of the WRC…Citroen vs. Ford just isn’t a fair fight in my mind.

I’ve been watching my WRC on a HD channel of late, but the last 2009 race was just shown this weekend so who knows what they’re going to show next. I just hope I don’t have to wait a few months for it to start up again.
Worst case scenario, I have to wait until Gran Turismo is released on the PS3 this year and then do some rally racing of my own!
I’m with you on the Loeb hate too. Dude is good, don’t get me wrong, but Solberg was looking mighty quick in the older spec. Citroen equipment. Same car, same team to support the driver and Loeb doesn’t win the championship.

Look, I absolutely LOVE Formula 1 too, but you can’t tell me it’s more fun to watch than NASCAR. There is virtually no overtaking in Formula 1 anymore. The starting grid is how they finish more often than not. The real race is in qualifying and that’s kinda lame.
Yeah, F1 does not feature much overtaking.
However, I still enjoy F1 much more than nascar for multiple reasons. First off, they exclusively race on circuits; whereas nascar is almost entirely ovals. I despise racing on ovals. Second, F1 cars are significantly more gorgeous and technologically advanced; therefore I enjoy F1 cars much more. Not to mention, nascar does not feature Kimi Raikkonen as a driver!

I like F1 for the very same reasons I like Euro soccer….in 90 mins, or perhaps 120 tops…it’s over. No god damn TV timeouts. You can plan your day around it. Wake up, watch the race, and then get on with the day. Can’t do that with NASCAR. The effing buildup to the race in NASCAR is more than an hour long each week. 60+ minutes of Viagra commercials, American Idol rejects yelping out the national anthem, and ohhhhh, look, an aeroplane!
The staged victory circles lacking every bit of emotion…Now you hold on just a second Jimmy Bob, we’re still at commercial so don’t come out of your uncomplicated, underengineered hunk of metal just yet. Let us get the GIANT inflatable cellphone on your hood, here’s a few towels with logos facing out, and be sure to hold that Bud so everyone can see that you’re not a Miller man!

Psssh…you’re not a real fan my man!
This guy right here was up at 5:15 AM this last weekend to watch 2nd division English footy streamed live over the web via ESPN360. And when they’re in Australia/Japan/Singapore, you have to admit that it’s pretty friggin cool watching F1 at 10:30 on a Sat. night.
Wait a minute…put what I just said into context. Up at 5:30 AM for soccer, still up at 10:30 PM on a Sat. night drooling over F1. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think that I had virtually no social or sex life to speak of!

Yes, that would be correct sir. I am an honorary, self-inducted member of the Toon Army. Have never stepped foot on gods most hallowed ground, but sometime someday soon I hope to make the trip over. The way I see it, any douche can support ManU, Chelsea, or Arsenal. A real man slaps the flag of a team that’s won frick all on his car and silently follows a club from 5000 miles away.

HA
I (mostly) arbitrarily chose Arsenal to support when I got hooked on the EPL a few years ago. I suppose because they play that faggy brand of fast-paced-short-passing football that got me hooked in the first place, and at least historically had to prove themselves over and over. (Guess I could have chosen Villa.)
Now that I’ve been watching for long enough, though, I understand why so many hate the Gunners. Arsene Wegner might be brilliant but he’s about as stereotypically snobby as any Frenchman, ever.
I’m not sure what the rules are for switching arbitrary allegiance for another arbitrary allegiance, though.
Anyway, good luck to Newcastle, looks like they’ll be back up where they should next year.

I’ve always been a fan of the “working man” kind of teams. That is one of the reasons I went with them and why I follow the Packers religiously here in the states. Shearer was still playing when I started following them, so that was another draw for me. A few years back Bill Simmons wrote probably the only decent article he’s ever written about “choosing” an EPL team. Can’t say I’m that happy about being compared to the Oakland Raiders, but I can totally see how one could make the comparison. Interesting read though…
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/060719
Last week against ‘Boro they packed something like 49,000 into St. James’, set a new attendance record for the 2nd division. Not bad at all considering the obvious gap in quality between the two leagues.
I like Arsenal for their “cutesy” passing too, but it’s damn infuriating watching them pass the ball around and not be able to put their head down and finish. As a fan of theirs, I assume you’ve read Fever Pitch?

I read that article when it came out
and thought it was a great place to start, though of course he would be calling me a wagon-jumper. (I think the bandwagon potential for Arsenal has changed a bit, since they haven’t won squat in three years now. Not to mention every American EPL fan I know follows Man U. So at least I feel morally superior to them.)
I thought about Everton and Fulham, but mostly because they featured Americans prominently.
Anyway, I still love watching them play, so I guess I’m stuck with them.
Read Fever Pitch, liked it, and was subsequently horrified it turned into an incredibly lame American movie about the Red Sox. Jimmy Fallon AND Drew Barrymore? Good God.

There was an English re-make of the movie that was much, MUCH better than the Jimmy Fallon/Drew Barrymore monstrosity. It still wasn’t as good as the book was in my mind, but it helped erase the repeated anal violation that was the American movie.
Also, because it hasn’t been said yet, shouldn’t we get some bonus points for Bogarting this thread and turning it into a commie loving bit of Eurotrash drivel?!?
Attacking mid was what I was thinking for Landycakes too. Playing in the hole behind someone. I just don’t know how well he’ll be able to keep on his feet in England. If he found Germany too rough and tumble he’s got another thing coming when he’s looking at guys like Terry, Vidic, and Carragher every week.

The question is: Has Oregon turned a corner where it will consistently be a power in the Pac 10? Because if so, I think they can get a championship. It’s still a longshot, but not ridiculous to think about.
