  • All-Nfc North Team
    ALL-NFC NORTH TEAM By Bob McGinn Posted: Dec. 31, 2005 Scouts from each of the NFC North teams were asked last week to rank the top three players in the division at each position. They were not permitted to vote for their own players, and none of the comments that follow in the position-by-position rundown was made by a scout about a player on his own team. A first-place vote was worth three points, a second-place vote was worth two and a third-place vote was worth one. Asterisks denote unanimous selections. OFFENSE NO. 1 WIDE RECEIVER: *Muhsin Muhammad (Chi.), 9 points. Others: Donald Driver (GB), 7; Roy Williams (Det.), 5; Travis Taylor (Minn.), 3. Comments: Muhammad dropped 11 passes and cost the Bears $12 million in signing bonus, but he was light years better than the No. 1 from '94, David Terrell. "It's a bad group," one scout said. "If (Rex) Grossman had been the quarterback it'd have been easier to determine where Muhammad is at in his career." Driver had one of his finest seasons. "He's still a better 2 than he is a 1," one scout said. Williams ranks as a two-year disappointment. "He has to understand the difference between being hurt and being injured," one scout said. LEFT TACKLE: Chad Clifton (GB), 8. Others: Jeff Backus (Det.) and John Tait (Chi.), 6; Bryant McKinnie (Minn.), 4. Comments: Clifton had too many penalties but made first team for the third year in a row. "He's close to elite," one scout said.

September 2015 - 1989 released to equal measures of confusion and acclaim: "Ryan Adams transforms Taylor Swift's 1989 into a melancholy masterpiece... decidedly free of irony or shtick" (AV Club); "There's nothing ironic or tossed off about Adams' interpretations. By stripping all 13 tracks of their pony-stomp synths and high-gloss studio sheen, he reveals the bones of what are essentially timeless, genre-less songs... brings two divergent artists together in smart, unexpected ways, and somehow manages to reveal the best of both of them" (Entertainment Weekly); "Adams's version of '1989' is more earnest and, in its way, sincere and sentimental than the original" (The New Yorker); "the universality of great songwriting shines through" (Billboard).

  • A's News Clips, Saturday, September 26, 2009 Ellis Adapts to New Role
    A’s News Clips, Saturday, September 26, 2009 Ellis adapts to new role By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune A's second baseman Mark Ellis began the season flanked by an accomplished group of infielders in Eric Chavez, Orlando Cabrera and Jason Giambi. But as the season's final week is about to unfold, his most crucial role is that of mentor to wet-behind-the-ears shortstop Cliff Pennington. Things obviously didn't go as scripted this season for the A's, who beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Friday. Cabrera was traded, Giambi was released, and the A's adjusted their goals after falling from contention in the American League West. Likewise, different things have been expected of Ellis -- like dishing wisdom to Pennington, who was installed at short after Cabrera was dealt. The two stood side-by-side chatting at second base Friday as the A's took batting practice. When Ellis talks about Pennington, he sounds like a teacher who's proud of his pupil but expects even more. "You try to tell him, 'You're the shortstop, That's your infield,'" Ellis said before the game. "You have to be the man. You have to have that swagger. That's something he's working on. He's doing a lot better." The role suits Ellis well, and it's one he better grow accustomed to. It's conceivable the A's could go very young with their infield next season. Highly rated prospect Brett Wallace may be installed at third base if Adam Kennedy isn't re-signed.
