Ranking the sexiest GMs in baseball 1-30 (Big League Stew)

The comments that new Oakland Athletics shortstop�Hiroyuki Nakajima made about GM Billy Beane, that he "is extremely sexy and cool," got me thinking. When it comes to sex appeal, Beane gets a lot of the attention among the general managers in Major League Baseball, not only because Brad Pitt played him in a movie, but also because Nakajima ?�even if he was joking ?�was on to something.
Therefore, without further ado (and ignoring any of the a-don't), The Stew has ranked all 30 major-league GMs based on how sexy they are. Begin the slideshow!

The cloud isn't always cheaper -- and that's OK

As more and more enterprises become comfortable with the concept of using the public cloud to replace portions of their on-premise infrastructures, I've seen growing surprise among IT organizations that the cloud does not necessarily save them any money. I'm not entirely sure what has given rise to the widely held impression that the cloud is always cheaper than on-premise infrastructure, but focusing solely on cost misses the point of what the public cloud is really good for.Adriana Lima Ty Pennington Tom Cruise Rolling Stones Oprah Winfrey U2 Tiger Woods Steven Spielberg Howard Stern 50 Cent

Michigan State turns to a freshman QB with six career attempts to win its bowl game, and he does

Against Central Michigan on Sept. 8, Michigan State redshirt freshman quarterback Connor Cook completed 5-of-6 passes for 47 yards and an interception in a blowout win. Those were the only passes he threw all regular season.
With Michigan State trailing 16-14 with a little more than three minutes remaining in its bowl game against TCU, Spartans coach Mark Dantonio let the kid with practically no college experience lead his team to a victory.
Cook wasn't great on the game-winning drive, but he did enough to get the team into field-goal range. Then kicker Dan Conroy, just 22-of-31 during the regular season, nailed a 47-yarder with 1:01 left and Michigan State held on to win the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl 17-16.
Michigan State wanted to get Cook some playing time in the bowl, but giving him that final drive with the game on the line was going to turn into the bravest or most foolish decision of the bowl season.
"He played well, he kept playing well, so we kept going with him," Dantonio explained to ESPN after the game.
Cook played on the game-winning drive instead of ineffective starter Andrew Maxwell. Before that drive he had attempted eight passes in the game - more than doubling his career total - and completed his first two passes of the drive for 26 yards. A TCU defensive penalty and a few Le'Veon Bell rushes got the Spartans into range for Conroy.
The modern wisdom from the statistics-minded crowd is that an extreme record in close games, good or bad, isn't due to some magical clutch ability or lack of clutchness, but based in large part on luck. Michigan State's last five losses this season were by a combined 13 points. The Spartans were due for some good luck. And Conroy, playing in his final college game, drilled the field goal.
Although Cook was just 4-of-11 for 47 yards in the game, he played a pivotal role in a dramatic bowl win. During bowl season there are always a few unlikely heroes. There probably won't be many more this season to rival a quarterback with six career regular-season attempts being left in to lead a game-winning drive.

Alex Kirk?s strong performance at Cincinnati is encouraging for New Mexico

Since Tuesday night's Cincinnati-New Mexico game featured two of the most highly touted backcourts in the nation, it may come as a surprise who emerged as the best player on the floor by the end of the night
Believe it or not, it was a big man.
Seven-foot center Alex Kirk scored 15 points, grabbed seven rebounds and defended well in the low post to help New Mexico eke out an impressive 55-54 road win at previously unbeaten Cincinnati. It was a performance that suggested the redshirt sophomore may yet become the impact big man New Mexico needs despite missing all of last season with a back injury.
A long-range shooter as comfortable on the perimeter as in the low post on offense, Kirk has contributed for New Mexico in a number of ways this season. He scores 11.2 points per game, he grabs a team-high 7.4 rebounds and while his vertical leap may not clear a single sheet of paper, his 1.4 blocks per game are proof he has done a serviceable job protecting the rim defensively.
If Kirk can build on his solid early play during the Mountain West season, it will solidify New Mexico (13-1) as a threat to win one of the nation's most loaded leagues. The presence of guards Kendall Williams, Tony Snell and Hugh Greenwood ensured the Lobos would again be NCAA tournament contenders entering the season, but most questioned whether New Mexico had enough interior play to hang with the likes of UNLV and San Diego State.
While neither Kirk nor Australian-born Cameron Bairstow will make anyone forget about former New Mexico star Drew Gordon anytime soon, collectively they've done a solid job replacing his production so far this season. Their combined 22 points and 13 rebounds on Thursday night was the biggest reason the Lobos survived an off shooting night from the erratic Snell and a rare scoreless night from Greenwood.
For New Mexico to succeed in a league whose top seven teams boast a combined 74-10 record so far this season, the Lobos will have to prove they can beat good teams both at home and away from the Pit.
Saturday's tepid home loss to road-weary South Dakota State in which Kirk struggled was a step backward. Thursday night's gritty win at Cincinnati more than made up for it.

Baylor finishes its season with a one-sided win against overwhelmed UCLA

In its final four games of the season, Baylor had four wins including blowout victories against Kansas State and UCLA and a victory against Oklahoma State.
Make no mistake, Art Briles is a really good coach.
The difference in the Holiday Bowl, in which UCLA was embarrassed 49-26 in nearby San Diego, was that Baylor fixed its problems in the time leading up to the bowl, and the Bruins never saw it coming.
[Related: Duke's 51-year bowl drought continues in stunning fashion]

Baylor had 13 sacks all season, and had a rushing defense that was ranked 89th in FBS. The Bears worked on their issues going into the bowl and had a great plan. Mixing up blitz packages against UCLA redshirt freshman Brett Hundley and taking advantage of weak points in UCLA's banged up offensive line, Baylor flustered Hundley the entire game. The Bears had five sacks in the first half, more than it had in any full game this season. UCLA's Johnathan Franklin was one of the best running backs in the nation in the regular season. Baylor held him to 34 yards on 14 carries.
The defensive transformation was shocking - Baylor was ranked second-to-last in yards allowed during the regular season - but that was a product of a great coaching job. For UCLA, not so much. The Bruins were overmatched from the opening kickoff, falling behind 35-7 in the first half. They couldn't stop Baylor's offense and had no counter-punch to the Bears' defense. Jim Mora's first season at UCLA isn't ruined because of one bad game, but this wasn't his finest hour.
Baylor got better as the season went on and finished strong, but loses a lot to graduation. Receiver Terrance Williams will be one of the first wideouts taken in the NFL Draft. Quarterback Nick Florence will graduate after a tremendous year. Four defensive starters will too. But running back Lache Seastrunk and his Heisman hopes will be back (and he didn't do anything to stop the hype with another electric performance in which he got 138 yards on only 16 carries) and the offense should be strong again.
As long as Briles is at Baylor, the Bears will be a team worth keeping an eye on.

Russell Athletic Bowl preview: Rutgers vs. Virginia Tech

Russell Athletic Bowl
Rutgers (9-3) vs. Virginia Tech (6-6)
Dec. 28, 5:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)
About the Scarlet Knights: Let?s not sugarcoat it; Rutgers should have been in a BCS bowl. The Scarlet Knights had two opportunities to secure their spot in the BCS and blew them both, leaving them with a less desirable matchup against a Virginia Tech team that won its final game to become bowl eligible. This is a good Rutgers team led by the strong running presence of Jawan Jamison, who rushed for 1,054 and four touchdowns, but the� offense have been out of sorts down the stretch. Jamison rushed for at least 100 yards in six of the Scarlet Knights? first seven games and hasn't rushed for 100 in a game since. In fact, he rushed for just 101 yards in his final three games combined. Quarterback Gary Nova threw for 2,566 yards, the most by a Rutgers quarterback since 2008, but threw 13 of his 15 interceptions during the team?s final five games, including six against Kent State.

About the Hokies: Virginia Tech has been one of the most disappointing teams this season. After being ranked as high as No. 13 in September, the Hokies never seemed to find consistency and consequently will finish with their worst record since going 2-8-1 in 1992. Prior to this season, the Hokies had had eight consecutive seasons with at least 10 wins and even this year, they were the favorite to challenge Florida State for a spot in a BCS bowl. But with all of that out of the picture, Virginia Tech is just hoping to finish with a winning record. Quarterback Logan Thomas has been the Hokies best weapon, but even his season has been suspect. Virginia Tech?s defense will give up points ? it's on pace to allow the most points in a season since 2003 ? so Thomas will have to be at his best to keep the Hokies in the game.
Key number: 0-5
Thomas has thrown 14 interceptions this year and Virginia Tech is 0-5 when he throws more than one in game. Rutgers has forced 16 interceptions this season, including five games with multiple picks.
The breakdown: It?s hard to read this game because both teams come into it with two different perspectives. Rutgers lost two straight to cost itself a BCS bowl while Virginia Tech won two straight to earn bowl eligibility. If you look at the matchup straight up, Rutgers is the better team. It has a better offense and a better defense. And while Jamison struggled down the stretch, he was also nursing an injury, which should be healed by now. Rutgers scoring defense ranks No. 5 nationally, which isn?t great news for a Virginia Tech offense that has struggled to put points on the board. The Rutgers defense will be the difference as it allows the offense to get comfortable and perhaps find that drive that made the Scarlet Knights a BCS bowl contender in the first place.
Predictions

Frank Schwab: Rutgers 20, Virginia Tech 16
All season, the Hokies have been a disappointment. They're 3-9 against the spread, but now all of a sudden they're favored against a Rutgers team that was pretty good all season? The thought might be that Rutgers is disappointed to be in this game after blowing a shot at a BCS spot, but then, why is Virginia Tech excited to be here either?
Graham Watson: Rutgers 30, Virginia Tech 10
Even though this isn?t where Rutgers wanted to be this postseason, it still has a chance for its third 10-win season in school history and a chance to end the season on a high note. Rutgers is the better team here and if they come to play, this should be no contest.

Ranking the sexiest GMs in baseball 1-30 (Big League Stew)

The comments that new Oakland Athletics shortstop�Hiroyuki Nakajima made about GM Billy Beane, that he "is extremely sexy and cool," got me thinking. When it comes to sex appeal, Beane gets a lot of the attention among the general managers in Major League Baseball, not only because Brad Pitt played him in a movie, but also because Nakajima ?�even if he was joking ?�was on to something.
Therefore, without further ado (and ignoring any of the a-don't), The Stew has ranked all 30 major-league GMs based on how sexy they are. Begin the slideshow!

Roll your own firewalls for fun and profit

For most of the 1990s and well into the 2000s, the general consensus was that you went out and bought a firewall appliance from Cisco or whomever, and you let it rule the network edge. For more than a decade within that span, the Cisco PIX was the firewall of choice, steadily controlling network traffic flows in organizations large and small.Scarlett Johansson Katie Couric Maria Sharapova Valentino Rossi Halle Berry James Patterson Leonardo DiCaprio Kiefer Sutherland Jim Carrey Cameron Diaz

Dimitar Berbatov is?The Continental

Well hello there.
I see you've caught me celebrating my latest goal by showing off the "keep calm and pass me the ball" shirt that I made. Though the shirt tells you to keep calm, it should actually make you feel like your genitalia is ablaze with arousal and the possibility of requiring medication. Consider this my Boxing Day gift to you. Ha-HA!
It's been a difficult time for whatever my club is called. We lost matches to QPR and Liverpool mostly because my teammates lack my Berba-brilliance. I've tried to teach them all the moves that go into being a quality footballer like: the suggestive smirk, making eye contact with fans that seem open to new and erotic experiences, like you, and properly massaging yourself before, during and after every match. So a mere eight minutes into our latest match, I led the way yet another sumptuous goal and then did something no other footballer has ever done before when I unveiled a special message on my undershirt. ... Yes, I know I had gone seven matches without scoring a goal before that and wearing the shirt was more than a bit�presumptuous, but confidence is an important part of being The Berba. For example, I already have dinner in bed all set out back at your place even though you have declined my advances many times before. Ha-HA!
As for the shirt itself, this was only one of several shirts in a new line that my cousin Timitar Berbatov and I will be selling out of a van outside of adult movie theaters throughout London. There is also a "keep calm and give me your phone number," a "keep calm and kiss me all over" and a "keep calm and lets wrestle in a tub of mayonnaise." They are available sizes small to XXXXXXXXXXXL and require personal fittings that may or may be videotaped. Ha-HA!
If you like, I can bring several samples of these Berba-blouses to our dinner in your bedroom tonight. ... I'll take the way you are�vigorously�shaking your head "no" to mean that you are simply too excited to remember how to nod your head "yes." ... Well, nodding your head while still saying "no" is the very definition of mixed messages so I'm afraid you're just not making any sense now. ... Getting your written refusal to have dinner in bed with me notarized simply was not only unnecessary but I didn't even think that was possible.
Oh-OHHH! I just noticed that my teammate with long hair aka Little Long-Haired Berba is covering a letter on my shirt to make it look like it says "keep calm and ass me the ball." Oh, that sounds mysteriously erotic but it is also completely nonsensical. Oh, this is terrible. Unless it's actually even better. Ha-HA!
Join us next time for another chapter in the life of...The Continental...
