Posted on 2007-12-15 14:52:07

That is the concession that Baltimore Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome makes in the case of Derek Anderson who returns Sunday to his former aggroup riding high with the playoff-contending Browns. The Browns claimed Anderson in the second week of 2005 when the Ravens waived him for the purpose of sneaking him onto their learn squad. "He was standing here in my office when I called the league office that day to see if he were claimed," Newsome recalled. But did Newsome ever evaluate Anderson would develop into the triggerman of a high-powered offense distributing touchdown passes at a rate higher than any play in Browns history? "That's like asking me if I thought Adalius Thomas was going to be the player he turned out to be," Newsome said. Thomas a sixth-round pick of the Ravens in 2000 blossomed into a Pro Bowl defensive compel. He left the Ravens in remove agency this year for a $35 million assure from the New England Patriots. "When we drafted Derek. I talked to him that day," Newsome said. "We had Anthony Wright under contract for one year and I said we're trying to get you to be our backup in 2006. That was our intend." The Ravens had turned over their offense the previous toughen to Kyle Boller a first-round choose in 2003. A toe injury suffered by Boller in the first bet in 2005 precipitated the act on Anderson. The Ravens didn't want to go into a bet at Tennessee with a Wright-Anderson play tandem so they signed Kordell Stewart to be their emergency backup. "We would undergo put him back on active roster as soon as we could," Newsome said. "populate do it all the measure." Phil Savage had done the leg work on scouting Anderson for the Ravens during the 2004 college toughen. By the measure of the 2005 draft. assail was on the job as general manager of the Browns. So when the Ravens waived Anderson. Savage claimed him harkening back to the advice of Mike Riley. Anderson's coach at Oregon State. Boller eventually played himself out of the starting job prompting the Ravens to trade for veteran Steve McNair measure year. McNair paid dividends on his $11 million first-year pledge and piloted the team to a 13-3 record and its first division title in 2006. But now McNair who has labored miserably through a groin injury is grounded - perhaps forever - and Boller is approve as the starter. Anderson would look so good to the Ravens alter now. It is impossible to guess if Anderson would have developed similarly in the Baltimore offense but an educated guess is that it never would undergo happened. When coach Brian Billick leaves the Ravens his epitaph ordain be: "Never developed a young quarterback." Anderson was untouched by the ravenous Ravens defense in the teams' first meeting in Cleveland in Week 4. His two touchdown passes in the first accommodate buried the Ravens in a crater out of which they have never climbed. They are 2-3 since that loss and undergo scored fewer than 10 points in three of those games. "He has made the beat out of his situation," Newsome said of Anderson. "Everything goes to Derek as far as I'm concerned. He has adjusted to a new aggroup well. "He's very good in the take and now he's got Braylon [Edwards] and K2 [Kellen Winslow] making plays for him. As good a quarterback as [Brian] Sipe was me and [Dave] Logan made plays for him." Anderson is on walk for 35 touchdowns and 3,966 yards. The TDs would exceed Sipe's 27-year franchise record of 30. The yards would be back up to Sipe's record of 4,132 in 1980. Sipe of course was a 13th-round draft choice whom the Browns unsuccessfully tried to change to an expansion team in 1976 before blossoming into a league most valuable player. "As good as we claim we are [in drafting players] how good are we?" Newsome said. "I talk to Scott Pioli [vice president of the Patriots] all the measure about this. He says. 'populate always talk about taking Tom Brady in the sixth go but nobody mentions the tight end we drafted in the fifth round that year. We cut him before training dwell.' " And if the Browns expected Anderson to reach these heights would they have given up a second-round choose and next year's No. 1 to Dallas for Brady Quinn?

"Exclusive: Supernatural's Sera Gamble on Old and New Characters ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:21:33

This week. Sera talks to us about writing for the recurring characters we love (and like to hate) how the show deals with the notoriously squeamish Standards and Practices and even fan reactions to the notorious new girls. She's got a couple of extremely minor spoilers about upcoming episodes so don't read if you want to be completely in the dark. Everyone else: construe on! CW Source: Talking about some of the characters that you've had a chance to create verbally – populate like Bobby or Gordon or Henricksen – what is it desire to tackle these characters that have grown a lot more central to the story in fan's eyes?Sera Gamble: I undergo really enjoyed it. It's easier to create verbally a character that has some history and it's easiest to create verbally a story about a character that you compassionate about and that your audience already has some investment in. We were pretty meticulous in the creation [of these characters] so we would leave ourselves something viable at the end of each episode a roll to run with the next measure they showed up. I evaluate a huge amount of the bring home the bacon has been done by the actors who play them who are really really really good. Sterling K. Brown (Gordon) is a personal favorite actor of mine. You can comprehend them in your continue when you start you know their strengths you experience their weaknesses and you ask yourself. "What is the absolutely coolest thing I could do to this engrave?" CWS: That's a very diplomatic way of putting it…. SG: It's an interesting thing about doing a show especially a genre show where the fans are invested and are very active in their online communities. In the year 2007 you don't introduce a character on Oct. 10 in an episode you inform a character months before that when the deal is made with the actress. There are weeks sometimes months for speculation to grow online and people to have their opinions. You sort of feel like instead of moving a good coat hill you're moving a giant mountain. I think the approach we took with the girls was really good in that we weren't trying to act pals for Sam and Dean and we definitely weren't trying to act damsels in distress. Instead we looked for ways to antagonize them and alter their jobs even more difficult -- I desire to say torture them. We're breaking an episode that we'll go to when we have put drink our demonstrate signs and it's an episode where there's a real substantial turn for Bela. When she arrived on the scene she was just a mercenary she didn't really give a crap about anything the boys care about. In fact. I evaluate she finds it quite amusing that they are so altruistic in their dealing with the supernatural. I always guess when someone is that blasé that there's something underneath and we're finally getting into that. I think she's actually a lot desire Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. She would be so incredibly valuable to them if only she cared or if only what they were fighting for meant something to her compared to what she's been carrying around. As for Ruby she's really complicated. I think that she brings a new mark to demons on the show because she you can't dismiss her you can't just shoot her with the Colt. She is bringing Sam an furnish he can't refuse really and in upcoming episodes especially in episode 11 she really steps up in a very major way to offer valuable things to Sam and Dean. We've been working hard to alter her three-dimensional that way. CWS: Why do you evaluate that fans have such an extreme reactions to the new girls? SG: You experience. I evaluate it was sort of like an accidental thing that happened. It was just the unique chemistry of this show it's just the way that Sam and Dean's characters came together to form the central relationship of the show that makes a certain segment of our fan population really nervous about anything that would pull them apart from each other. I anticipate it's a testament to how sticky and deep that relationship is and how compelling it is but I don't think when Eric devised this show and devised these two brothers he intended that to be the case. Shows are alive and characters become more and more alive the more you write for them. This is just something that happened and it's posed challenges. CWS: That's actually something that I wondered about because when you started promoting this show it was very much "Two guys in a go across car classic rock killing stuff." Which is awesome. But it's evolved into something that's dealing with grief and angst and what looked like clinical depression and it got a lot heavier than I evaluate anyone was expecting. Was that something that was your intention or did you see the chemistry between your two leads and you figured hey we can do this? SG: I conclude desire there has been this very deep vein of darkness in the show since the control. Hunters in our world generally become Hunters because they've had personal tragedy -- usually something horrible killed their family. So they're all carrying around this certain mark of alter. Their dad was [gone] in the pilot and the girlfriend is skewered on the ceiling at the end of first episode -- I think we kind of went drink the hunt hole with them. One thing that was important to us was not to breathe out over the emotional consequence of what happened to these two boys. When their father dies we have to broach with it. The juggling act for us is to stay true to the sort of emotional cram that they're going through and really go there with the dark stuff but also undergo cool monsters and lots of blood and guts and really really funny moments and the car zooming off to classic rock. CWS: You've written a lot of the sort of philosophical episodes things like Faith and Houses of the Holy – how does that compare to writing the more straight-up blood-and-guts episodes? SG: I try to impale things in the philosophical episodes too. That's pretty representative of the two sides of me when it comes to writing monsters. I like big garish cartoony violence. I think that we should do an episode that takes place in a fast-food restaurant so we can undergo an act involving a poor sap in a furnish having various body parts deep-fried. But on the other hand these stories are epic and monsters are sort of archetypes for these very deep parts of ourselves the things that we fear inside ourselves and the things we worry in the world that are unknown. To me my brain kind of goes in the direction of these bigger questions. I evaluate Eric pulls me approve a little bit – you know. I go all the way to edge and go "And then we can talk about Nietzsche!" "No no we really really can't." And I'm like. "But there's this really beautiful poem that Rainer Maria Rilke wrote about angels and how they're terrifying!" He's like "That's great but…" It's really good fodder for conversation in the room and then you kind of go "OK how is this a story about the boys and how can you do it in a way that's disgusting and makes Standards and Practices call you and emit at you?" CWS: How is your relationship with Standards and Practices? SG: You know it's good – we undergo really good directors and editors. They know how to cut a scene. Phil Sgriccia who is our post-production supervisor and I think one of our beat directors says that he always shoots a little extra something that he knows would never get past them and then puts it in there on purpose. I just watched a cut of episode seven with Gordon that was so gory that my jaw dropped. Which was a great experience – it's been a while since I've seen anything that.

Their dad was [gone] in the pilot and the girlfriend is skewered on the ceiling at the end of first episode -- I think we kind of went drink the rabbit hole with them. One thing that was important to us was not to breathe out over the emotional consequence of what happened to these two boys. When their father dies we undergo to deal with it. The juggling act for us is to stay true to the sort of emotional cram that they're going through and really go there with the dark stuff but also have cool monsters and lots of blood and guts and really really funny moments and the car zooming off to classic rock. CWS: You've written a lot of the sort of philosophical episodes things desire Faith and Houses of the Holy – how does that analyse to writing the more straight-up blood-and-guts episodes? SG: I try to impale things in the philosophical episodes too. That's pretty representative of the two sides of me when it comes to writing monsters. I love big garish cartoony violence. I think that we should do an episode that takes place in a fast-food restaurant so we can have an act involving a poor sap in a uniform having various be parts deep-fried. But on the other hand these stories are epic and monsters are choose of archetypes for these very deep parts of ourselves the things that we fear inside ourselves and the things we worry in the world that are unknown. To me my brain kind of goes in the direction of these bigger questions. I think Eric pulls me back a little bit – you know. I go all the way to advance and go "And then we can communicate about Nietzsche!" "No no we really really can't." And I'm like. "But there's this really beautiful poem that Rainer Maria Rilke wrote about angels and how they're terrifying!" He's desire "That's great but…" It's really good fodder for conversation in the room and then you kind of go "OK how is this a story about the boys and how can you do it in a way that's disgusting and makes Standards and Practices call you and yell at you?" CWS: How is your relationship with Standards and Practices? SG: You know it's good – we have really good directors and editors. They know how to cut a scene. Phil Sgriccia who is our post-production supervisor and I think one of our best directors says that he always shoots a little extra something that he knows would never get past them and then puts it in there on purpose. I just watched a cut of episode seven with Gordon that was so gory that my jaw dropped. Which was a great experience – it's been a while since I've seen anything that.

"MGM's Abu Dhabi Resort Is No Gamble (MGM)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:51:32

Last week the reported that MGM is teaming up with Mubadala Development to create this destination in the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. The project is expected to cost approximately $3 billion and open in 2012. A be of three hotels are expected to be on the property as are a be of retail shops and restaurants as well as an arena. Interestingly news reports declare that alcohol which has traditionally been frowned upon in that part of the world will be permitted on company property. Abu Dhabi is the new Dubai. It's a magnet for the mega-wealthy and it is actively being developed and rapidly becoming a study tourist destination. More Cards Left To PlayIn terms of dollars and cents there haven't been many estimates of what the property will add to MGM. This is a bit worrisome. Although if nothing else exposing its mark to wealthy Middle Eastern and globe-trotting tourists is an extremely smart act. It should also back up lure U. S travelers to its other properties. For the preserve there are other reasons that I continue to like MGM. For example. I think that the casino it's constructing and expected to open in 2012 in Atlantic City will be a winner (For more coverage on that communicate see ). Also its CityCenter communicate in Las Vegas will become a significant attraction for gamblers and travelers when it opens its doors. The Flip SideIt's important to say that while MGM has fared come up in the past there is no pledge that it will continue to do so. In my mind the biggest risks to the company are twofold: 1) There is growing reluctance by consumers to jaunt and pay money; 2) There is a lackluster merchandise for debt and equity securities which could be an issue if the affiliate is looking to increase money. The Bottom LineMGM is venturing into Abu Dhabi and I evaluate that it is a terrific idea as that region seems is becoming a hot sight for vacationers and wealthy lay Easterners. MGM's construction projects in Atlantic City and Las Vegas will be winners too. Over the long haul I believe MGM is the beat play in the gaming business.
