Quack Fix: Cliff Harris apologizes, Radcliffe is an unsung hero

Another day, more quack. Here's what we could find:
- Cliff Harris posted an apology on his Facebook page yesterday to all Duck fans. It seems like a mature response, and we wish Cliff the best as he weighs his options.
- Andrew Greif from the Register Guard has an article today praising Jim Radcliffe, who has been instrumental in helping the Ducks reach the next level as a football team. Grief was a member of the Oregon track team before becoming a journalist, and this is a great article on his experience with Coach Rad.
- Huard goes back to diss the SEC! Brock Huard has an insider piece on why the Pac-12 is on the upswing, and is poised to overtake the SEC as the top football conference in America. While I think this is a bit far fetched (the Pac-12 simply doesn't have the fan support that SEC schools do), the Pac-12's influx of money will allow them to at least challenge the SEC. Now teams like WSU can go out and get the top coach on the market. The new influx of coaching talent will help the Pac-12 take a big step forward. For those without insider, Ted Miller has a condensed version.
- Ted Miller also has a recap of Oregon's season, and disagrees with most of us at ATQ, giving the defensive MVP to Dion Jordan.
- Bucky's 5th Quarter, SBNation's Wisconsin blog, has tons of great coverage of the Badgers. Today, they are disappointed that Oregon will be highly motivated for the Rose Bowl. Guess this one might not come down to who wants it more.
- One final note, LaMichael James and Jackson Rice will be at the ESPN College football awards show tonight. LaMichael James is a finalist for the Doak Walker Award for the nation's best running back. Rice is a finalist for the Ray Guy award for the nation's best punter. Show starts at 6pm PST.

Who got the new XBox update?
I really like it and can’t wait till they add more video watching options.

Hehe me and my wife played with the voice control options for the kinect yesterday
It is very good compared to before but can still be a little frustrating :)
I haven’t had a chance to look at all the new features in there but it looks nice at least.
Only thing I am missing on the XBOX still is a web browser and option to download more apps such as youtube etc.
ssshhh....
Youtube is coming as is HBOgo
I tried Hulu Plus, but am less than impressed with their library. Wish they had Amazon Prime. I agree that a web browser would make sense, especially for Microsoft.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Hmm, I have both Amazon Prime and Netflix
and I never use the video feature of Prime bc they aren’t on my xbox. Is this in the works? Prime is a good supplement to Netflix, would be nice to have it more convenient to the plasma
Not that I've heard. Just on my wish list.
Would love to get rid of cable TV and would do so if they had Prime on XBox, plus I have to wait and see what the Pac 12 network looks like.

All Cable is good for is sports, live news events/coverage (like election night), and other "special events"
Having been without Cable for the first time in my life the past 4 months, I really don’t miss it/notice its gone. Besides, soon we’ll have access to online DVRs through cable, the ability to watch our cable online, and cable itself will be internet based.

I guess if you had your Xbox connected to your computer you could just use their instant video service. Although that doesn’t help if you like to rent versus own.

You are wise, I was unaware of this feature
will have to check it out. I do hate Media Player generally, but this might be some microsoft cross-product syncing that is actually a good thing
I have my XBox connected to my Windows Media Player
(it’s really easy to do). I love how quick and easy it is for my XBox to read what is on my computer and scroll through and watch my movies. Problem is I also like to watch a lot of stuff on demand online, like Amazon Prime’s free TV shows, etc.
I highly recommend linking your Xbox to your Windows Media, plus you can set up WMP to automatically sync whatever is in a certain folder on your computer. That way when you download them they automatically show up as available on your Xbox to watch.

I've been using my Xbox just for gaming for years
(I’m sure my postings have dropped over the last 28 days due to Skyrim release) and only recently tapped into the multimedia aspect of it. Actually a pretty well designed system for what it has, like others said I find it confusing that there is no browser or youtube etc.
I very rarely do any gaming
I’ve used my Xbox primarily for multimedia. It’s sync with WMP is really seamless and allows me to keep all my media on one system on my house and then play it in any room wirelessly through the XBox.
My kids love the Kinect for game so the voice controls and motion control upgrade is really cool too.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Yeah
WMC is the best media center I’ve seen. I think Xbox has taken a big step forward in being the future of how we watch tv.

I hooked up my computer Dell i7 with 12GB DDR & 1GB video card up to my 46" LED TV and it looked like crap in both 1920 x 1080 and HDMI
As I understand it, the TV is just making the pixels bigger. Do I really need a 3GB of RAM or super clocked card to make it look nice and sharp?

DUD, there are a lot of issues that can arise when connecting your computer to an HDTV.
You might need to play around with the different available resolutions, or see if the TV supports 1-to-1 pixel mapping. I helped my brother hook his computer up to his TV (only 720p), and the actual resolution he needed his computer set to was actually slightly different than what the standard 720p resolution was.
I don't mean to impose...
Also, you mentioned HDMI and a resolution back to back. Are you using HDMI cables for the connection? And are you using any converters, because I know some of the older connection formats (DVI or VGA…not sure which off the top of my head) are not actually able to throughput the full 1080p HD signal.
I don't mean to impose...
Interesting.
Mine is Samsung 1080p with 240Hz refresh. I picked it up at Costco ($350 off the $1100 regular price) a few days before Thanksgiving. I don’t have any Blurays yet, but it looks amazing. The martial arts in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are no longer blurry!
I will check the TV settings. I bought some 9ft HDMI cables and tried both the HDMI and VGA connectors. The HDMI was better, but not enough to ditch my old Viewsonic 21" tube monitor. I should look for a setting called, “pixel mapping?”

If you have the resolutions set correct, you really shouldn’t have any problems, especially compared to your old Viewsonic (which I"m guessing isn’t even 1080p).
I have a 40" Samsung hooked up to my computer, and it looks just as good as a computer monitor when viewed from a normal distance.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I believe the “pixel mapping” thing is a feature of TVs that might be outdated at this point (ie. they all do it).
As I am not an expert with this stuff, my post was more of a “keep fiddling with it, I bet you can get it right” message. Because having your computer hooked up the TV can be so nice when it works correctly.
I don't mean to impose...
I’ve been using my Computer with an HDTV (720p max) for well over 5 years now.
A lot of it depends on both the TV manufacture, your choice of input and your video card’s drivers.
You do operate on a limited scale of resolutions, essentially a 1280×720, or 1380×720 resolution.
I had an refurbished LG for a while. With the XP drivers, it adjusted well to anything below 1380×720. As soon as I upgraded to Vista (I know….), I had problems with any resolution EXCEPT for 1280×720. Other resolutions, it would get very skewed or cropped.
My TV ended up dying later on (not related), so I replaced it with a Samsung earlier this year, and I haven’t had any problems.
My real problems that I have with the set up is more of a posture and ergonomic related things. Spending any real time gets very awkward and uncomfortable when trying to balance a keyboard and mouse while not at a proper desk.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
I'll check out the drivers.
I was running it at 1920×1080. What resolution are you using now?

Hulu Plus
Is a good stopgap for me because I don’t have cable. So I get high quality HD streams (the quality is actually better than Netflix’s supposed HD stuff…although they may have fixed that, I don’t know because I dumped Netflix when they did their big switch) of Daily Show and Parks and Rec and Community…about all I watch anyway. True, the choices aren’t great, but they do have some decent movies on there whenever I’m bored. But yeah, without cable, I’m just streaming everything from my computer anyway, so Hulu works great for Network shows.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
Voice control.
I don’t own an XBOX or know much about them, but your post got me thinking… wouldn’t it be cool if in NCAA football you could use your actual voice to audible and snap the ball? EA Sports, are you listening???
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
I'm sure this is in the works
I got the kinect when it was first released as a way to get the wife involved in games. It was ok for a while, we don’t use it much anymore other than voice commands. Adding kinect features to regular controller based games is happening more, and I can totally see the value of adding that extra dimension. Something else they should add is optional spoken replies in games like Skyrim and Mass Effect, voice command to NPCs in Battlefield or Tom Clancy style games etc
I love it
It’s so much easier to sort through videos in Hulu and other apps similar. I don’t have cable, so I won’’t be able to enjoy any of the On Demand options that are coming available in a coupe of week. Also, I have Centurylink (booooo), so I don’t get ESPN 360, either…but I do like the new interface for ESPN 360 and Netflix.

Some on needs to email Larry Scott and tell him to get the Pac-12 network on there.
In fact I’m going to do this. i don’t have cable and i get all my TV viewing pleasure from Hulu Netflix and ESPN on my XBOX. A
pac-12 network APP on the XBOX would be sublime.

Scott talked about doing something like this
with being able to watch the P12 Network on mobile devices. I’m sure it is going to be connected to your cable carrier considering they are the ones footing the bill up front for the network. But much like ESPN on XBox is available if you have Comcast, I could easily see the same thing happening with the P12 Network.

"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Same here.
The ESPN app on my XBOX is phenomenal. I get HD quality live games and their replays, anytime I want. Granted the content isn’t always up to par. Now that I think about it, I could see ESPN putting up red tape to keep the Pac-12 from taking some of their viewers on the XBOX.
"You better show up. You don’t have to be the best team in the country. You just have to be the best team in the stadium on that day." Chip Kelly
If I understand it correctly, ESPN and Fox can do whatever they want with their first tier games, although the Pac-12 purposefully kept all rights (broadcast, digital, etc.) to the remaining games, so ESPN won’t have a say in them.
That was the major “Holy Sh*t” part of the deal, that Scott somehow secured the contract size, while not giving away a lot of valuable rights.
I don't mean to impose...
I'm pissed that there isn't a similar app for the PS3.
MLB.TV on the PS3 is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Yes, I clearly have low standards of cool, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to pull up every game, listen to the TV or radio announcers or just the stadium sounds, etc.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
I have found between xBox and AppleTV i can get most of my content
AppleTV works pretty well and has the plugins to Hulu, MLB.TV and NBA and a few others.
I’m not making a bold prediction, but we believe we can win every football game.----Chip Kelly
AppleTv is $99 and supports HDMI. The Apple (iTunes) content i have found to becheaper than my cable service. For example through U-Verse, on demand movies are 5.99 standard def and 6.99 for HD whereas almost all the pay movies through AppleTV all the movies are 4.99 or below including HD.I don’t normally buy them, but TV shows are .99 cents. Like xBox, it acts like a hub and connects my iPad, iPhone and and PC iTunes all together so my all my media is available including cloud content.
I’m not making a bold prediction, but we believe we can win every football game.----Chip Kelly
MLB TV is going to be an app on Xbox live by the time spring training starts.
I would expect various sports packages to be apps
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
ya, both MS and Apple want to own your living room, so i think both will continue to add plugins for the media services and will eventually redefine cable services. I thought i heard somewhere that MS was even going to start delivering ComCast content over xBox.
I’m not making a bold prediction, but we believe we can win every football game.----Chip Kelly
Yeah Comcast on demand
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
I don't really care what you can get on Xbox. I don't have one of those and would prefer not to give more $$$ to MS than I already do.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
I used to think the same thing
But when I bought an XBox with Kinect for my kids I started playing around with it found out how easy it was to transfer media and then the ESPN app just 100% sold me.
Eventually I sold my PS3 and bought another XBox for my office (even better now that the XBox has cloud storage for game data too). If the Pac 12 Network ends up on XBox, I could easily see myself getting rid of cable altogether and just buying XBox’s for every room.
I guess you could do the same thing with Apple TV except for the ESPN App.

Unfortunately, no. Missing 2 1/2 games really killed his chances at postseason awards.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
unfortunatly no
He set the standard too high running for close to 200 yards in every game except the two we lost. Those two games will deny him, that and he was hurt for a couple games. They hype just isn’t there this year, even if he is the best which I think he is.

Off Topic, but HAPPY ALBERT PUJOLS DAY!!!!
Yes, I am an Angels fan. Now back to your regularly scheduled quack.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
As a Mariner's fan...
I say congrats…you’ll be up there with the Rangers for a couple of years as the premier team of the AL West; however, this really cripples your team for the future. It’s obviously not as bad as the Tori Hunter deal, but it’s deals like this that ruin baseball teams in the long run. I think you’ll lose a lot of your in-house talent that is just going to walk because all of the team’s money is tied up.
10 years…yeesh…he’ll be 41 (!) when his deal is up.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
The Torii Hunter deal? Maybe you mean Vernon Wells. Torii Hunter has actually been worth every cent of his deal (barring a collapse this season, of course, but no one projects that). Vernon Wells was an awful deal, although that was a trade rather than a free agent signing.
Anyway, this has the potential to be awful in five or six years. I completely realize that. In fact, it’s probable that it’s a bad deal in five or six years.
But it’s ALBERT FUCKING PUJOLS. Right now it’s tough to think rationally about it.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Yeah
It is Pujols, and I agree it’s hard to think rationally about it. I just have to try to find some negative in this because you’ve now rendered my team worthless (yet again) for the next three or four years (although the ineptitude of Bill Bavasi did enough to ruin the M’s for another couple of years). Hehe.
Actually, this deal probably forces the M’s not to go after Prince Fielder since it won’t make much of a difference now. So, that’s good. That’s one contract I DO NOT want the M’s to offer.
I think I meant the Torii Hunter deal. He got paid A TON of money of if I recall. He’s been good, but nothing close to what the Angels paid him. I forgot about the awful deal Vernon Wells got.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
The Angels are paying him $18 million a year. According to baseball reference, and given the relative value of WAR on the open market, he’s been roughly worth his deal every year except last year. And the extra one or two million per season they’ll wind up paying is a kind of bonus for being the face of the franchise and the most marketable guy on the team since Vlad left. I admit the deal looked like an overpayment at the time, but Torii’s been very good.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
As a Twins fan (as much as someone who doesn’t care for baseball is a fan), I can only slowly shake my head. Torii is the man. It was inevitable that he was going to leave for bigger money, but it still hurt.
I don't mean to impose...
42 actually
he turns 32 in like a couple weeks or so.
I’ll never understand baseball contracts. he could virtually walk away from the game now or sit on the bench and get fat and get paid the same. He’s set for life and he doesn’t have to do another damn thing. Guaranteed contracts are the worst thing in sports imo. Throw an injury clause or whatever in there so they don’t lose everything but damn baseball is stupid and this is just another example of how.
But you are all the smartest, funniest, most handsome bitches on all the internets.~DaisyDuck 11.2.11
If he retired, I don’t believe he’d get the money. A lot of times when a guy retires, he’ll work out a deal with the team where they basically pay him some of it to go away. But if he just flat retired, he relinquishes his right to the salary.
I think non-guaranteed contracts are awful, but I understand why football has them, given its nature. I think guaranteed contracts make sense for the other sports. You could argue that hockey could probably use some form of non-guaranteed contracts with their increasing concussion issues.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
See, it seems like the sports where injuries can end a career are the ones that SHOULD have guarantied contracts.
Sports like baseball and basketball are so stat oriented, they should really have guarantied base salaries (something fairly low), followed by some larger incentive thresholds (get $XXX for batting above .300, $XXX for advancing so far in the post season…etc)
I don't mean to impose...

I spent a few summers in the bay area around 2003 – 2004 and remember them having problems filling that stadium despite having a pretty good team. I believe they had a $2 ticket, $2 beer, $2 hotdog promotion on wednesdays. Those were fun.
They started free parking Tuesdays last year.
It’s awesome. You don’t even have to buy a game ticket, just tailgate and drink for free. Great way to make money.

No I liked the Andrew Luck traffic accident better
The one he made after the Stanford game where the Oregon truck slams into Andrew Luck. But this one is good too.
Yeah, but why is he attacking a printer?

"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
Still attacking the messenger doesn't solve anything, this doesn't make any sense.
It’s well done, but it’s a printer. Also, why is CK in there, he hasn’t been snubbed from any BCS bowls, it would make more sense to put Bellotti, or Gary Patterson on there.
"What the hell was that?"

Shooting at Va Tech again
Police officer and a student shot. Sad news.
Yikes.
Looks like this one is very different in nature, though. This appears almost more like that shooting of a police officer we had during a traffic stop about six months ago or so here in Eugene. They did go on to shoot someone else later, and I suppose it’s not over, so hopefully everyone else can take care to stay safe.

Okay. I'm going to overreact to something. You guys should tell me to calm down.
From Kash’s apology:
Its more than what the media portrays and I’m not able to speak on it as of now but tune in for the Rose Bowl on January 2, 2012 @ 3p.m. and watch my Ducks get down against Wisconsin Badgers
He can’t speak about it now? Should I read into this that there’s a legal issue, or is there perhaps an NCAA issue at work here? Because when an athlete or coach can’t talk about something, the very first place my mind goes is “NCAA infraction”.
Autzen Stadium: "The stadium with an L.A. face, but an Oakland Booty, if you will." -Spencer Hall
Calm down.
If he’s contesting the marijuana charge, it could be as simple as not wanting to publicly share his defense strategy. It could also be a legal problem that hasn’t hit the media yet. If he was known to have violated an NCAA rule, I think we would have heard the word “ineligible” thrown around by now. As far as we know, he’s still eligible to transfer and play.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
I read that as "it's not the right time"
As in, here I am apologizing to fans and trying to support the team, this is not the place or time to try and tell my side of the story, but not everything that has been written tells the whole truth.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Yep, me too
didn’t think about it as anything involving NCAA or anything of the sort. I figured that it was also between him and Chip.
I agree with Matt Daddy, despite the fact that it’s well known he sees everything through rose Kash Nacho-colored glasses.
I don't mean to impose...
I read that to mean...
…that there is more behind the dismissal besides the MaryJane infraction. Perhaps some record requests from the local police are in order.
As a general rule, you don't want to publicly try your case in the court of public opinion
while your fate is still in the hands of a DA. Particularly with something minor, you’re looking to get it tossed or reduced as far as possible, and you’re looking to play along to make that happen. Going to the press and giving a bunch of details in a way that makes you look good is going to 1. potentially piss off the people that decide how bad things get for you and 2. establish statements of fact by you that can come back to bite you later because anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
At the same time, it’s also understandable that people want to get the message out that they’re not as bad as people think and ask people to not judge them as fully guilty without trial or further info, whether that’s because the facts are truly more complicated, or the person is just concerned with their own reputation and image. That’s a tough line to walk.
Some media seemed to get a bit bent out of shape yesterday by the way Cliff phrased this, like they interpreted it as him blaming them of saying they were doing a poor job. I get that they want to shore up their turf so people don’t get the wrong idea. But this just seems like standard practice for ongoing legal issues, and media should know that as well as anyone.

Is this really in the hands of the DA? As I understood it, the weed thing was only a violation, so he just needs to pay the fine and move on. It won’t even go to court if he doesn’t want it to.

One interpretation is that there were conditions for his re-instatement to the team
such as not being busted for weed and he failed to live up to those conditions.

Recruiting question on a semi-light Quack day:
What impact do you think the addition of two “flashy” coaches to our conference and Meyer’s return to coaching at tOSU have on keeping our current verbal commits and landing other big recruits who have expressed interest in the Ducks? Will any poaching occurr immediately or do you think they will need a year or two under their belts to be in contention for prime Pac12 recruits?
¡Me gustan las tortugas!
And Cliff Harris was like, "VRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I could see Stanford switching to Ohio St if he decides he wants to stay close to home but I don’t think it will hurt us at all
Other than running Meyer running the spread, that's why I included tOSU.
I think I remember one of the kids in the kids in the video saying everyone thought they’d end up at the same school.
Also, isn't it great Urban was on the broadcast crew for our Spring Game, interviewed Kelly
and performed extensive on-screen play breakdowns and will now be the head coach at a tradional
powerhouse program in a conference that has a historical bowl match up with our own? Yeah, about that…..

I think that's one of the worst thoughts out there
That Chip Kelly and Oregon have ‘secrets’. That there is some magical way to beat the Ducks based on scheme or plan.
There really isn’t. There are certain schemes that do better than others (aggressive man with safety help for the run and manning up on the RBs explicitly did well) but there are ways to beat those too. Ultimately beating a Kelly offense – like most spreads – comes down to winning your individual assignments, playing disciplined football where you do not overcommit, and being well-conditioned.
Which really is basically what all good defense do.
Now, there are a couple places that it can be worse; if you have a strong middle of the line it causes issues with the mesh. If you have a lot of speed it can beat OZR. If you have great cover corners and safeties it hurts on the passing reads. DEs that can blitz aren’t nearly as potent, nor are exotic full house blitzes and the like. But it’s not like you can say ’okay, our first plan is to hire Nick Fairley, and then".
He did say he saw the sarcasm font. 8-P
BTW, awesome job on the S&P, FE, etc. post. One day, I hope to understand it. I’m not so good at the maths.

IMO, poaching is certainly possible
considering the timing and way we landed DAT UO should know better than most that there is no such thing as a rock solid commit. I’m willing to bet that Leach outdraws Wulff and RichRod can out-recruit “Aneurysm” Stoops. No reason to think that any Oregon recruits are in danger, but it definitely brings tougher competition to the west coast.
FWIW
Its sounding more and more like Foster’s a solid UO

The only way I can see Chip leaving is through an NFL contract, solely for the opportunity to prove himself at the next level. Unfortunately I could see this happening. If I was a NFL GM with a small market team, that is failing, I would take the risk. At the very least you’d get your fan base fired up.

As a huge USC fan told me tonight, keeping Kalil isn’t a big deal in and of itself. It’s nice, of course, but it’s not game-changing. However, Kalil and Barkley are great friends, and he doesn’t think Kalil will come back if Barkley leaves. So Kalil staying is more about an indication that Barkley might stay.

Robert’s response, “Nickell Robey. I face him in practice each and every day. It’s a battle back and forth, he’s physical. Elsewhere, Oregon’s corner, Terrence Mitchell, he put up a great fight in that game.”
Atta boy, T-Mitch!
Best part about that, was T Mitch asked for it
He went to Neal and Aliotti and said I want to lock down Woods. Usually Oregon will leave guys on their own sides, but Mitch wanted to lock down Woods and did an excellent job. Now if only we had someone guarding Marqise Lee.

That is awesome!
T-Mitch is going to be a legitimate lockdown corner by his RS junior year, if not by next season.

I despise the Lakers. I absolutely love watching Chris Paul play point guard. This is a really tough day. I think I’m going to get drunk.

I think you should do it.
Print out a picture of Tyrann Mathieu’s 13 inch junk, and try to get him to sign it. It sounds like a job for you, buddy!
I am going to feel really embarrassed if you are actually talking about his “honey badger”.

I'm no doctor
but I do fight with one a lot on this blog.
And it’s my understanding that a break can actually be a “better” injury to come back from then a severe ligament injury like a torn ACL. Once the break heals, the bone should be nice and strong and ready to go.

Depends a lot on the fracture
But that’s generally true. Bones are a lot more vascular than tendons, cartilage, and ligaments, so they get healy healy humor goodness* from the body more readily.
*totally a real medical term.

Also,
Accorsing to the Bee, it’s a broken fibula. He will recover from this completely. For comparison, Cesc Fabregas scored on a penalty kick for Arsenal in the Champions League after having his fibula broken on the foul that gave him the PK. SO QUIT TELLING ME SOCCER PLAYERS ARE PUSSIES.

Chip in the NFL...
I think the main reason the NFL is going to want him, is they can sell more commercial time. Watching an NFL game is so boring because they take a commercial break every change of possession, time out, injury, water break etc. With a quick turn around offense, the NFL would love to feed their already overflowing coffers.
I noticed that was a problem I had watching the NCG last year and LSU this year. I wonder if the high profile games work against the ducks with all the TV timeouts.
Looking forward to the Rose Bowl. GO DUCKS!
Good Point. We oughta get Larry Scott to working on that. Get their TV timeouts shit together so they don't interrupt our 'flow.'
