Around the Cooler 02/10/13 – Discussion: Will the NFL exist in 30 years?
Here’s what we’re talking about:
Bernard Pollard inadvertently creating the “Tom Brady rule” in 2008.
Ravens safety Bernard Pollard: “Thirty years from now, I don’t think it will be in existence. I could be wrong. It’s just my opinion, but I think with the direction things are going — where [NFL rules makers] want to lighten up, and they’re throwing flags and everything else — there’s going to come a point where fans are going to get fed up with it… Guys are getting fined, and they’re talking about, ‘Let’s take away the strike zone’ and ‘Take the pads off’ or ‘Take the helmets off.’ It’s going to be a thing where fans aren’t going to want to watch it anymore.” (ESPN)

Climbing the Charts: Two Sixers top 25 under 25
Think the Sixers’ season and future is completely derailed by Andrew Bynum? Think again! ESPN released their list of top 25 NBA players under the age of 25 and wouldn’t you know it, there are two 76ers on that list.
Despite how hard I tend to be on the hometown hoops team (I do it out of love, I swear) this is actually a pretty big achievement, especially for a team as down in the dumps as ours currently is.
The rankings are based on current stats, natural potential, projected wins above replacement player (WARP) over the next 3 seasons and, well, age (duh).
In case you hadn’t been able to guess the two yet, the big unveil:

Wooder Cooler Play of the Week [Poll]
It’s that time of the week again! I know you were all so excited. Without further adieu, the plays of the week:
Jrue Holiday Spin Cycle to the Hoop
Undressed Week: Sixers Pants’d by Knickerbockers
Yikes. 100-84 and 110-88, the Sixers were summarily undressed during both games of a Home-and-Home against the New York Knicks this past Sunday and Monday. Not much to say here, the Sixers looked plain bad and the Knicks looked as surprisingly unbeatable as they did when they rained threes down upon the Heat last week.
If you want the real story here: The ‘Bockers shot the hell out of the ball, hitting close to 50% of their shots and over 40% of their 59(!!!) total threes across both games. Philly on the other hand, did the opposite, shooting poorly from everywhere save the Charity Stripe. I guess when Sheed, the “Human Victory Blunt”[1], starts drilling them from distance, it’s time to pack it in.
Mercifully few notes and low-lights after the break:
Sixers Avenge Honor: Take Down Iguodala, Nuggets in Home Opener
Only 81 more wins till an undefeated season…right? In all seriousness, the Philadelphia 76ers opened their home and 50th season with an 84-75 win over the visiting Denver Nuggets last night.
With prized acquisition Andrew Bynum watching helplessly from the bench, the 7-6 was still able to take control early and win a sloppy one. Behind big nights from Spencer Hawes and Jrue Holdiday powered the still starless Sixers to a 1-0 record and more importantly, a spoiled homecoming for Andre Iguodala.
Notes and highlights after the break:
