Heat point guard to work out with Irish corners?

Miami Heat team president Pat Riley told his reserve point guard, Chris Quinn, to spend the offseason working out with Notre Dame's cornerbacks. Never mind Quinn is a former Notre Dame basketball player. The exchange was mentioned in columnist Dave Hyde's blog on the Sun-Sentinel Web site. Riley -- and we're not sure if he's being sarcastic or not -- said it'd help him with his man-to-man defense. In many ways, it makes sense. Cornerbacks need good closing speed and in some ways lateral and cross-over footwork. They also need to be able to read receivers, much like defenders need to read opponents by watching their hips. Whether Quinn does it or not, who knows? But it'd be interesting to see, that's for sure.

The Titanic is now 45 degrees out of the water.

Maybe the Captain has figured out a new way to load to largest lifeboats. Let the historians make their footnotes.

And this is news ....... How?

Corner Backs, Safeties & Wide Recievers have been doing different things to improve their footwork on the field for aeons

Don't most pro teams discourage players from taking part in sports in the off season (don't want silly injuries)?

C'mon, it's Notre Dame football, it's not like a real sports team.

Do you realize that if you piss Jabba the Weis off enough that he comes out there looking for you that he could trigger a significant seismic event? As in Nevada may end up with a coastline.

"Piss" gets by the moderators' filter, but a reference to the anonymous source in the Watergate investigation, "****" got censored? Who in the hell are these clowns? The Watergate investigation, while a long time ago, was still more recent than the old Linda Lovelace movie.

He can say that his Trojans have lost four or five total games in the past four seasons. Is it really that cool to watch your team lose on national TV?

I can say that even a losing Notre Dame team has more national television appeal than a USC team that has lost four or five games in the past four seasons. Are people just tuning in to see if CW has lost any weight from week to week...?

With HD, maybe they're hoping to see what might be stuck in his teeth, hm?

Hummingbird-of-the-south, don't go getting into trouble by quoting the moderators, OK? Of course, if you do, I'll have to quiz any new Aztec gods that post to T&R...

Oh Gariboy, the pipes, the pipes are calling...
Honestly, if The Irish find a way to defeat Southern Cal, I look forward to reading your crowing in the T&Rs to come (and that of other Domers as well). Just don't expect the other posters to cease their Jabbaisms.

Fourteen posts and no GB... I know it's Moms' Day, but this is a ND-related thread with a pic of Weis. This just doesn't feel natural.

America is BUSTED!

Maybe we would rather watch a team that once claimed to have morals than one that never claimed to have them?

Gari -your thoughts?

Huitzilopochtli had 500 brothers and many imitators. No sweat.

The mods can't hide forever. There are adults at Time and CNN who won't put up with their nonsense.

???Every game, you will have a decided gravitational advantage.???

May 11, 2009  12:27 AM ET

???On the one hand, they hear from the Notre Dame alum that they're going to win every game. On the other hand, they're hearing from the national broadcasters that we're going to lose every game, ... Somewhere in between lies the truth. If I were a gambling man, I'd be betting on our players - and I'm not a gambling man.???
