A Reoccurring Post: Decisions Mandate The Simple

    |PRATLAW| broadcasts:  I cannot ever post this too much:  Ockham's Razor should be the foundation of everyone's thought pattern.  Translated in English: "All things being equal, the simplest answer is always the correct answer".  In Latin it was originally stated: entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.  You can build everything in your life around the maxim.  Of course the devil in the details is what determines and who determines when all things are equal?  Your personal analysis will be much better of any and everything you are making a decision about no matter who it involves if you will apply the Razor to the analysis.

Maddux & Iverson ... and Josh Smith

    |PRATLAW| broadcasts:  the art of herky jerky in successful competition cannot be overstated.  The greatest pitcher of the modern era and the greatest one on one guard of the modern era illustrate the value of constantly changing speed, angle, and attack.  Compare these two with the constant speed play of gifted players like Josh Smith and Joe Johnson.  What could the latter two accomplish if they ever started varying the tempo with which they play the game ... see what I am getting at?  And finally, will Josh Smith ever push himself to intensity or will he continue to cruise between playing at 80 - 90%?

Look At Meeeeeeeee!!!! TO & OCHO

     |PRATLAW| broadcasts:  TO, OCHO ~ cries for adulation from Mom's little men?  I remain amazed that apparently not a single team GM to date has required a contract clause from TO that he may not give any interview wherein he expands his comments to include a "team comment", that he cannot as a matter of contract utter the words "We" or "Us".  TO runs good routes.  OCHO runs sloppy routes.  TO gets distracted too much in the moment which translates to 'hands of stone' [Roddy White suffers from that 'disease' too].  Roy Williams does to, although yesterday's fumble was a result of the mechanical destruction of too much intensity ~ did you see poor Roy accelerate just before the fumble beyond what he can do - that was real desire to win defeated by complete and therefore reckless overextension of ability which is going to translate into catastrophe, either  injury or collapse:  see my comment on Griffin below.  Hines Ward is a player they should all study.

Destine For Injury

   |PRATLAW| broadcasts:  Been watching Blake Griffin this year.  Everything is over the top violent.  I think that is a recipe for early injury.  Let's make a metaphysical rule:  if you play with unrelenting violence you will end your career prematurely ~ that is not to say turn down your intensity level, rather be even more intense but less rigid and mechanical.  Blake Griffin and Greg Odin should take some classes in ballet, dance of any kind, karate, jujitsu, some kind of fluid movement fitness program

Yes I am A Broken Record About Porsche

     |PRATLAW| broadcasts:  I am relentless in my praise for the Porsche Cayenne.  Now the single criticism I had has been addressed:  2011 has seen the introduction of the Cayenne S HYBRID.  If you can afford it, there is no other vehicle you have ever driven that will time and time again put a smile on your face like a Cayenne and now it is thrifty to boot.  Of course the only color for a Cayenne is aeronautical silver not white

WHY THROW IT ALL AWAY? Looking at Cam Newton

|PRATLAW| says:  If you have the talent why would your own father sell it out for a lousy $200K.  I hope it proves false but it seems to have the ring of truth.  What little I know makes me think that Cam Newton could have won the Heisman, signed as the number 1 pick and gotten endorsement deals into the millions upon millions.  Now he will get a million dollar contract and that's it.  Still n9ot a bad future.  If it is true I feel sorry for the naive young Newton but to his father I say what a lousy thing to do to your son who loves you unconditionally.  You have cooked the golden goose for stupidity.  Youngsters learn from it.  Don't throw away a bright future for peanuts like the Indians that sold Manhattan  for a fist full of glass beads.  Stay straight and true and reap the rewards down the road.
