Re: NFL Free Agency
Elvis Dumervil signed a new, cap-friendly deal with the Broncos, today. I'm glad, as he was getting cut if they didn't get this done, and proven pass rushers are always in demand. Not so fast, my friend. Paperwork wasn't filed with the league in time, so Dumervil released by the Broncos. (May have ...

Re: Conference Tourney Week 2013
Sucks for the 2nd seed Colorado State Rams to have to play their semi-final game against UNLV, in Vegas. Not quite a neutral site, but that's the way it goes. UNLV has sucked at home in the conference tournament lately, so I don't think it's much of a home-court advantage. Add in that the MWC is ac...

I don't disagree. And I'd be disappointed, but if you can only keep two out of those three, Stafford and Johnson are the right two. Worst case, hopefully they can at least swing a trade for Suh and get a draft pick.Grasspenis wrote:I'll bet you Suh ends up somewhere else.

The Lions just pushed this year's Suh cap hit into next year. Those old top-5 draft picks just kill teams on the cap. Yeah, though it's about to not really matter. The good news is that the three most onerous rookie contracts (Johnson, Suh, Stafford) are for players who largely have panned out (und...

Don't want to get involved either, but kinda scratching my head a little. If I'm careful about making sure that I recycle as much aluminum, paper and glass as I can, does that make me a member of the religion? Or if I drive a car (I do) that gets 35 MPG? Curious minds want to know.
