I don’t know, that picture was suggested by Zemanta, and I thought it was cool.

Since this post is basically an homage to 2nd Round Reach, I’m going to publicly answer the question that Brendan emailed me the other day. What happened to The Commute?

Well, there was probably enough material to keep it going on a nearly daily basis, but honestly, that was just too much work for me. I’m not inherently lazy (or I wouldn’t have been able to keep a blog going for almost four and a half years), but I do have a lot of work at my day job which prevents me from being able to just sit here any round up links all day. Trust me, if I could make enough money to quit my day job by doing that, I would have done it already. But since that isn’t the case, I’m left to just do what I can. And so… The Commute will morph into The Roadtrip. This way, I can still post random highway exit ramps (which, actually, was surprisingly fun), but I won’t have that self-imposed pressure to crank something out every day. That always just seems like a recipe for turning posts into mush instead of Fresh, Sharp, Insightful type stuff. That is, assuming any of my posts can be classified as either fresh, sharp, or insightful.

Anyway, the real meat is two posts by Brendan today over at 2nd Round Reach.

The first is The Top 10 Fantasy Point Guards for the first month of the season. I have to say, I’m surprised that Chauncey Billups comes in at number 2. Happy to see that Derrick Rose gets an honorable mention. I don’t know if he can crack the Top 10 this season, but as the other aging point guards on the list continue their slow and sometimes sporadic decline, I’m sure he’ll get there in the future.

The second post is an analysis of the announcement that Kevin Durant will start playing SF. As Brendan points out:

Kevin Durant is thankfully, mercifully, finally going to start at SF (where he’s already eligible in practically every league because even Yahoo! is smarter than P.J. Carlesimo.)

Read on to find out what this means for Durant’s fantasy numbers.

    Way to teach a dog infected with love and enjoyment of the people around them is dog training. Not all the people who keep the dog know how to train a puppy, but who often find it impossible to carry out dog obedience training , people who have a different feel that they do so. Although some people will tend to the field of veterinary medicine, other people will choose more specific career dog. Perhaps the most popular dog-centric professional area is that dog training.
    Police dog training is a great way for those who love the dogs, to help them use and dissemination of information. One important thing to remember is that the dog trainer can not only teach dog tricks and working dogs and their masters. In fact, owners tend to play a bigger roll than the dogs training process.
  • I'm actually surprised the response that the rankings have been getting. I mean, it's pretty subjective when they've played less than 15 games, you know? But seriously, if you were picking PGs in the 1st all over again, based on current stats (and who's NOT playing), you wouldn't take Chauncey right now? I can see an obvious case for most of these guys, but I think Billups' and the Nuggs are a better fit than we might have expected.

    Oh, and there's a lot of season left for Rose to crack the top 10...
