| With Osi gone, time to lower expectations | | 2008-08-25 05:00:07 | |
By now you have heard the devastating news that Osi Umenyiora will be lost to the Giants for the season after suffering a knee injury Saturday against the New York Jets.
This is one of the reasons why it is incredibly difficult to repeat as Super Bowl champion, or even to be a powerhouse year after year.
Here is coach Tom Coughlin discussing the injury.
My number one concern is about Osi. I did talk to him on the phone a short while ago and told him that he is in everyone’s thoughts and prayers and that this is something that we, in talking with Dr. Warren, Dr. Warren has convinced us that this repair will put him in great shape going forward and because of that we are certainly 100 percent behind the decision. We just hope that the surgery goes well on Tuesday and that it is a full recovery and that he is even better than ever here shortly down the road. As for the rest of us, we received this information this morning. It was probably around noon I think when | | By: Big Blue View | | |

| | | Ted Ginn: Talking Expectations | | 2008-06-18 23:15:01 | |
You'll remember that back in January I took a look at Ted Ginn's rookie season and compared it to those of the games top receivers. It showed that while Teddy didn't have a great season by any stretch of the imagination, there was indeed reason for hope.
Then today I stumbled across the AFC East predictions provided by the guys over at WhatIfSports.com. In their preview, they have Ginn's numbers for 2008 as follows: 46 catches for 751 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Hardly anything impressive.
But that got me thinking. What would we all like to see out of Teddy in 2008 for his season to be considered a success? That's the question I pose to you all. And below I provide a little food for thought.
First, you can click here to see how Ted's numbers compare to the rookie figures of other receivers. Then you can look below to see how well some of the game's top receivers fared in year #2 of their NFL careers:

| Chin Surgery Expectations – Setting Them | | 2008-05-22 23:08:00 | | According to Richard Goode, professor of otolaryngology at Stanford, the best way to deal with unhappy patients after a face surgery is to have never operated on them in the first place. It may sound like a somewhat harsh point of view, but Goode speaks for a lot of plastic surgeons who are faced with disgruntled patients after a plastic surgery procedure. The May issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America contains further elaboration of his views on this problem. The rest of the body apart, the face is what concerns plastic surgery patients the most. When any cosmetic surgery alteration is undertaken in the facial area- be it chin surgery or eyelid surgery or a face lift surgery, patients tend to get rather finicky. While this is an understandable response, it should be avoided by the plastic surgeon and the patient as much as possible. But how do you do this? For one, the plastic surgeon and the patient need to discuss a chin surgery procedure very extensiv | | By: Chin Surgery Beverly Hills | | |
| | Bills WR Hardy Faces Lofty Year One Expectations | | 2008-05-05 07:44:00 | |
Hardy's rookie task a tall order: score often (Photo Source)
Score. The Buffalo Bills could not do enough it of last year, but as a junior wide receiver at Indiana University, James Hardy did plenty of it. In 2007, Bills quarterbacks (helped out once by running back Marshawn Lynch) threw 12 touchdown passes. In 2007, Hardy notched 16 receiving touchdowns by himself.
So, naturally, Hardy's rookie season in Buffalo comes with lofty expectations. He is very likely to start immediately next to veteran receiver Lee Evans, who also saw a significant statistical drop-off last season. Hardy's 6'5", 217-pound frame makes him a full head taller than any other Bills receiver; and, because of that height, Hardy's expectations are even larger than normal.
What, then, can be considered a "successful" rookie season for Hardy? We've heard all of the cautions about rookie receivers and how they generally don't produce in their inaugural NFL campaigns. But i | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |

| | Jacksonville Jaguars Draft: Expectations vs. Reality | | 2008-04-28 23:11:33 | |
There they are, the five selections of the Jacksonville Jaguars 2008 draft. The class that has the imposing task of taking the team over the hump and to the Super Bowl. Derrick, Quentin, Thomas, Trae, and Chauncey have the highest of expectations considering the relative lack of companions in their rookie class. Thomas, Trae, and Chauncey especially.
First, let's take a look at what my expectations were for the Jaguars draft and let's see if we did what was necessary.
At least one top "10" Defensive End: The Jaguars, in my opinion, must anchor their pass-rush around at least one defensive end rated in the top 10 at the position. If they wait until later, the likelihood of getting the impact that the team needs to bring pressure decreases.
I'd say we did that alright. Rather than get one "top ten" defensive end, we got the third and 5th best ends on the board. There are some who had Harvey ranked higher than Ghoulston (though I | | By: Big Cat Country - An Unoffical Jacksonville Jaguar | | |

| | | Addiction Program Exceeds Expectations | | 2008-04-11 06:19:00 | | How many times have you spoken to an addiction program only to hear the same old thing regarding the services they provide. Every addiction program seems to provide the same therapy to the general population. The addiction program talks of gret success rates and an addiction program staff that is great. It was not until I stumbled across this gay friendly addiction program that rekindled my expectations of a quality addiction program.
while this addiction program provides similar addiction services as other addiction programs, the addiction program specializes in the treatment of one population and does it well. The addiction program called Freedom Rings treats the gay and lesbian population in a gay affirming atmosphere while incorporating the heterosexual community into the mix.
If you are a member of the LGBT or gay and lesbian community, look into this addiction program. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find an addiction program that delivers what it promises.

| | Chinese March Trade Surplus Exceeds Expectations On Strong Exports | | 2008-04-11 05:54:28 | | The Chinese trade surplus surged more than expected in March on robust exports, official data showed Friday. However, the trade surplus for the first quarter shrank from the previous year.The Customs Administration revealed that the trade surplus surged to US$13.4 billion in March from US$8.56 billion in February. A year ago, the surplus totaled around US$6.8 billion. The trade balance exceeded the US$11.9 billion surplus expected by analysts for March. Exports grew at a much faster pace of 30.6% annually in March compared with a 6.5% increase in February. Meanwhile, import growth slowed in March to 24.6%. Exports increased to US$109 billion and imports totaled US$95.6 billion. In a note, Westpac Economics said "
as the starting point for imports is very strong, this widening was not appreciable with the surplus well short of the record US$27.1bn in October."Chinese crude imports jumped 25% in March to 17.3 million tons and increased 15% to 45.53 million tons in the first three month | | By: All About Investiment | | |
| | Clinton Fights to Reduce Expectations as Polls Tighten in PA | | 2008-04-10 11:11:17 | | Barack Obama has been slowly gaining ground on Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania and the Clinton campaign on Wednesday worked aggressively to reduce expectations in the state. Senator Clinton previously held what was thought to be an insurmountable lead in Pennsylvania and it has shrunk down to a near tie. There have been nine polls conducted since the beginning of April and the Real Clear Politics average shows Senator Clinton still has a 7.9 percent lead. An American Research Group poll, however, found there to be a statistical tie between Obama and Clinton. Another poll conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP) showed Obama had a 2 point edge over Clinton in Pennsylvania. Clinton previously held double-digit leads over Obama in Pennsylvania, which is why they are working so hard to reduce expectations. “The fact that we still maintain a lead after Sen. Obama spent six days here and got the backing of Sen. Casey (D-Penn.), and in light of being outspent, | | By: The Mersman Political Blog | | |

| | Mobile Advertising Not Meeting Expectations? | | 2007-12-13 08:49:17 | | There are several reasons why advertising on your mobile device has not yet taken off, and this article from Business Week Online posted on KTUV.com outlines some of them. "Wireless carriers, meanwhile, have been slow to embrace ads, fearful their customers will be driven away [BusinessWeek, 11/26/07] by floods of text-message spam or banners and pop-ups crowding such a tiny screen". I know the technology exists for text message based advertising because I receive them regularly from a retailer. I should point out that I had to "opt in" for the ads. How tolerant would wireless customers be of text based messaging pushed to their phone when they didn't opt in remains to be seen. I strongly expect Android based handsets to have the technology to display visual ads on the same during normal use, such as making calls, text messaging or even listening to mp3's.

| | Unfair Expectations | | 2007-12-09 17:36:57 | | Detroit News columnist Jerry Green (who's old enough to use the word "balderdash" without blushing) felt he had to let us know that "perfection [is] now demanded of new-look Tigers." It's unclear who, exactly, is demanding this flawless performance, other than Green himself.The Tigers must win the World Series next October -- or bust. A division title would not be satisfactory. Not any more. Another American League pennant, the same as the Tigers unexpectedly won in 2006, would be insufficient. The Tigers have to win the pennant plus the World Series next season or the monster trade of the other day becomes a flop.The Tigers didn't make the playoffs last year. One trade later, they have to win the World Series or be considered a disgrace? I mean sure, they picked up a great player, but they also finished 8 games behind the Indians last year, and 6 games behind the Yankees in the Wild Card. This trade certainly improves them in the short term (as does the acquisition of Edgar Renteria), but if Cabrera plays as expected, and Willis rebounds somewhat from a terrible 2007, but the Tigers still fail to go all the way, would anyone really call the trade a "flop?"Articles like this are why General Managers retire early. | | By: Between the Lines | | |

| | Honda Fit exceeds expectations, shortages expected | | 2007-07-10 04:07:33 | | The Honda Fit came out in the US market in April, 2006. 27,934 units were sold on that year and another 23,769 were sold in the first six months of 2007. However, Honda has stated that only 54,000 units of the Fit will be shipped from Japan for this year. Honda expects shortages in many dealers across America as the Fit is continuously generating sales. The Fit is no doubt a hit and it has surpassed their initial sales projections by a wide margin, especially regarding the fact that the North American Fit was introduced in Japan in 2001.
Jim Smail, Honda dealer council chairman, stated, “We have so much potential for that car”. The rising gas prices and the increasing awareness of the global environment has tapped many consumers into downsizing to these subcompact cars. The Yaris and the Versa has been going strong, with sales respectively of 46,522 and 37,802 in the first 6 months of 2007.
