Hammonds, Mays Named to Fan's Guide to ACC Basketball All …

Clemson seniors Cliff Hammonds and James Mays were among seven players named to the Fan’s Guide to ACC Basketball All-Defensive Team on Tuesday. The seven-player team is compiled by vote of the league’s 12 head coaches. The 2008 selection is the second straight for Mays, and first-ever for Hammonds.
The coaches vote for five defenders whom they consider the league’s best, regardless of position. They also are granted anonymity and given the option to cast votes for their own players, a privilege employed by most coaches in 2008. This season marks the 13th annual All-Defensive team publicized by the Fan’s Guide to ACC Basketball.
Hammonds ranks third in the ACC in steals per game (1.93) and second in Clemson history with 217 career steals. Hammonds leads the Tiger defense this season with 58 steals and is a major reason Clemson ranks sixth in the NCAA with 9.7 steals per game. His top defensive play of the year was a blocked shot on a dunk attempt by Maryland forward James Gist. Hammonds broke his right wrist bracing himself on the fall, and will wear a protective cast for the remainder of the season.
The honors have been coming at an alarming rate for Hammonds this season. Off the court, he was named to the Academic All-ACC team for the third time in his career. He also was a CoSIDA Academic All-District III selection. In the past two days alone, he was named third-team All-ACC and honorable mention All-ACC Defense by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA). He also was named All-District III Tuesday by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).

    I have to agree. With Josh Marshall spending 90% of his time spinning for Obama, and his guy David Kurtz doing the same it becomes really disappointing.If you want to become Obama Points Memo. Go for it, but don’t try to be journalists. Sure debunk corruption, but when it comes to pure politics which is what this primary is, there is no longer a line between analyst and advocate.Shame on Marshall for feeling the need to campaign.The blogsphere is losing credibility by the day, the more they feel the need to represent Obama, to the exclusion of all else.

    How easily is the general public fooled by alternate terms for the same concept?What effect does such a linguistic attack have on public discourse?

    Their strategy is to win at any cost.

    It’ll be interesting to see if they do come up with a new name for them.

    Clinton “supporters”, more like a paid operation, are also loading online polls to make it look like Hillary has higher support than she really does:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad6TF5-4Jx8&eurl=http://www.votenic.com/Also, bloggers are complaining about high-handed tactics by Hillary supporters at DailyKos, with BradBlog calling for a DailyKos reader strike:http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5809(I am actually beginning to think a reader’s stike against reddit might be a good way to get them to stop filtering posts, and comments).
