    Now playing

    There isn’t much spin in the big shots in the video above, or others you can find from him over the years. Maybe a teeny bit.

    In any case, it is still extremely impressive to smash the ball like that without a bit more setup with the feet and getting your hand back.

    How in the world does he generate that power with that flick of the wrist? Compare it to the (former?) biggest FH in the game. Delpo winds up and gives the ball a whack.

    I farmer’s walk three times a week to exhaustion. Started about 6 months ago, and am slowly turning into popeye. Big fan.

    He started his career with Steve Young.

    Yeah.  Most positions are up for argument, but WR really isn’t.  Its Jerry.  You can argue around the edges (“Moss was more talented,” or “Don Hutson held the receiving touchdown record for like 40 years and invented modern route-running”), but at the end of the day its Jerry.

    When he doesn’t really care about something.  Which is always, when the something isn’t him.

    He left them again.  So I am sure that if Dear Leader tells them to burn jerseys, they will burn jerseys.

    Or a (continued) distraction from a fairly well-organized effort to truly reorganize the constitutional makeup of our country to serve the few.

    Seems out of the playbook that Christian Picciolini(self-proclaimed, some say self-aggrandizing ex skinhead) claims the white supremacy movement tries to use: bring people over by trying to find common ground, only to continue whispering ideology in their ear until you have a full convert.

    In the first one, he had no need to hit him at all, and piled on by not only hitting him with some part of his helmet, but the very crown.

    The second we just are not seeing the same way at all.  Yeah, he puts his hand up, but that doesn’t mean he “led” with it.  It was a straight spike to the chest.  Easiest call of

    Agree, of the three flags shown in this article, the last one (which is ironically the hardest hit) seems the most questionable. Sure, he hits him with the helmet, but he also seems to be going in good faith with his shoulder. Helmets are big, he is hitting a dude who is big, some contact will happen.

    Fact.  Said from middle America, where it seems like donuts should really shine.

    For me, he’s in second place for trophy for men’s tennis player most held back by the mental aspects of the sport. Dude is a really good athlete with solid weapons, but he can melt down in a variety of ways.

    I think it went from played out to not played out. He's kinda old now.

    Jimmer doesn’t have elite scoring ability, though. He does have elite shooting ability... when wide open. Or covered by the kind of defender he saw in college. Good defensive NBA guards, however, can swallow him up. That’s why he consistently lost minutes over his time in the NBA (along with the corresponding lack of

    I mean, it would be disingenuous to say he had absolutely no shot of remaining on an NBA roster.  But the best career he could possibly hope for is Steve Kerr, and its just not 1996 anymore.

    Most of my coworkers who watch NCAA, but not NBA, basketball.  They were really exasperated when I tried to explain that Jimmer didn’t really have what it takes.  In a way, I don’t blame them.  If you don’t regularly watch the NBA, it is hard to figure out how someone like Jimmer is likely to be run off the court.

    HE'S BEHIND THE WHOLE THING

    Really excellent article. 

    I guess we are now mortal enemies.
