jeez. Are you people still talking about basketball?

Here's my trivia for the day. I took a cast metal class with J.Zorn in college. It was when we was coaching the UofMinn Golden Gophers and I was an art major. He was super nice. We used to ask him to toss us tools in the foundry and then laugh about that maybe not being such a smart thing to ask.
Anyways, he cast a bronze kayaker in a broiling river. He nice, the Zorn.

I think the Giants proved that strong lines = super bowls. I say, draft for the line. and CB.

Anybody here ever have Eske's Green Chile beer in Taos, NM? It's spicy. The only beer I've ever had that needed a beer chaser.

MNSkinsFan,

I am from NM and Green Chili goes with everything. This is why I had to come home for CA. Missed the Green Chili.

This is good news. I've been a big fan of Frost ever since he did that series of interviews with Nixon back in the late 70s.

But when did he become an NFL punter?

Speaking of Jim Zorn, kayaker...

"But when did he become an NFL punter?"

We're still waiting for it to happen, RC.

lamest thread ever.

JReid called this in from the car...We'll get you more when he gets to his destination and puts little Joshua in a bouncy seat or something. Also, congrats: we hit 175k about 50 posts ago.

now joe jacobi can hope to kayak with Jim Zorn the Head Coach of the Washington Redskins... I can't believe it took us that long to find a coach!

Frosty Lives! Frosty Lives!

Wouldn't Jacoby call him "Jim Thorn"?

At least he would do if he still talked like he did in the "Theater Vithion" ads....

I have to say Frost is pretty bad. I was always puzzled why Mr. 'Special Teams Matter' Gibbs didn't try something else there.

Frostie adds to the excitement of the game though - why kick the ball in the coffin corner when you can shank it 24 yards or boot it through the end zone?

sorry Cindy, didn't mean to sound ungrateful... are we still friends? ;)

I enjoyed the sportsbog link.

You're dead to me, Dorf.
Kidding!!!!!

I'm guessing Frost found as much interest in his services in free agency as Rock did.

Bingo, 4-12.

A whitewater guy? I like it.

I'm the fourth one in line

Coach Whitewater .... now lets see him throw down some class 5

I think I may be able to kick the ball better than our special teamers. The punting would be close, but I could out kick Swish'em any day of the week. Yes, even after several Bong hits....lol

That missed extra point really got under my skin this past year.

BONG!

Hall is getting 24.5 million guaranteed? He's just not that good. Looks like you better draft your CB because signing one in FA is just crazy.

Do I bug you Dorf?

Zeke:

The only thing I am wondering is: Who took these pictures? Some dude in a scuba suit?

Zornskins -- My girlfriend, its her website. She's a terrific photographer. But not so enamored with class 5 rapids (she's gone up to class 4)

fyi, we were scuba diving in NZ two weeks ago. We did get a pic of us underwater, but I don't know if she'll post it.

I don't get the Frost haters the guy averaged over 40 yds a punt. Now I know whit it feels like a BLloyd supporter.

Though to be fair if you were to Madden rate Frost as a punter vs Lloyd as a WR I think Frost would be higher ranked.

Redcoat,

The pretentious comments weren't an attack.
How could a cheeky gent from merry olde england bug me? No, sometimes greg bugs me, but he's from Boston so I can accept him for who he is. Bigmurf bugs me, but he's a pot head so I shouldn't expect much. Some of the old school 1.0ers get crotchety, but that's half the fun of this place.

I love me some RI.

congrats: we hit 175k about 50 posts ago.

At least 2K of them were multiple posts by poolman. Do you count them?

Alex, he averaged 41.3 yards per punt, but that's 28th in the league. He's not a boomer. There's only four guys who were worse.

Can we get blog updates about where the players go out and get trashed so we can join them for some beers and talk about how bad we hate the Cowpies, the VaGiants and the Jeff Feagles....

That would be sweet - thanks.

Too bad they can't take Bong hits, but if they retire and want to smoke a phattie hit me up!

BONG!

The dukies ARE GOING DOWN BABYYYYY!

How does this guy continue to have a job with the Skins?

There have to be a handful of unemployed punters more consistent than Frost.

For anybody trying to figure out why people hate Frost, it is because he is terribly inconsistent.

He shanks a punt per game.

He was good the 1st half of the year if memory serves me correctly....

He tanked more later in the season. I'm sure they'll bring in competition.

I geuss guys will rip anything in a slow offseason...

NOW, Let's all root against the Dukies Babyyyy....

My take

Sorry 4th, but we live to play another day

Adam

Duke stinks. Rely way too much on the 3. Will lose in the 16 or next round to WVU.

Glad to see Shanksville sticking around. Great news.

argh, We? There's another Dookie up here?

Quick review of his stats:

Derrick Frost
Punts: 75 14th in the league
Yds: 3,072 15th in the league
Long 64 (t) 13th
Avg: 41 32 in the league, including many who only had a handfully of punts
Net avg: 36.4 25th in the league
Blocked punts: 0 (tie- 1st)
in the 20: 23 tie 17th
TB: 7 tie 10
Fair Catch: 15 tie 11
TD on returns: 0 (Tie 1st)

While I agree Frost's leg is nothing to be amazed by. I look at the other stat's and they are not as bad. Todd Sauerbrun a "great" punter by most standards had 2 blocked punts 2 TD's against. And had more return yards against him.
Personally I would rather have a punting game where we don't make big mistakes like that, the worst kind of score that you can allow is one on Special Teams.

I thought Derrick Frost left football to run the Obama Campaign. Is that true?

Not quiet on topic but asking anyway. I am kinda disturbed by Gibbs complete involvement in his NACSCAR team. He retired citing family reasons, but never stated he was tired of the Redskins job. He moved very quickly in this decision and I expected him to be out of the limelight for a bit. But here he is at what seems like every practice session, every meeting. He is keynote speaker at events, he is at every Sunday race and interviewing about the work and the team. SO what gives? I dont know why this bothers me so much but it does. It makes me feel now that he quit on the Redskins in a sense because he just replaced us again with his NASCAR family. And I know his sons are involved in the NASCAR team, but they are grown. We know what 'family' he meant when he retired because they needed him.

dbs-

Not a bad take, although a man has a right to do what makes him happy...just be honest about it.

I like it!

I think Frost's contract has a clause where he has to do at least two Eastern Motors commercials a year and make at least one appearance on Washington Post Live on Comcast Sports.
