  1. welcome to my life, I get no cards, no gifts at on my birthday, but heaven forbid that I forget to send someone in my family a card....sometimes I wish I was an orphan....

    Maybe if you were a "great guy" like your co-worker NG, you would get more cards! :devil:

  2. For all you Bob Vila wannabees, I am building a playroom for my daughter in the basement. I am looking for ceiling ideas. 7 foot height. The foundation walls are already studded, so I only have two walls to build. I'd rather not do an interlocking ceiling where I can't get above it at a later date without ripping it apart. What is the minimum clearance you need for a dropped ceiling between the studs and the ceiling grid? Any other ideas? I'm not looking to pour a ton of money into it, just somewhere for her to call her own other than her room. Approximate size 10x16.

     

    Don't get to elaborate on me. You're talking to a guy who once had a bathroom ripped apart for two years. We have since moved and my wife has still not forgiven me! :blink:

     

    Thanks!

  3. I just posted this in another thread, but I didn't want to see it get lost....

  5. My only question is can you already start adding players to the practice squad right now after they become free agents and before the last cut.

    I don't think you can add players to a practice squad until some point(hours or maybe a full day??) after the 53 man rosters have been submitted to the NFL.

  6. Anyone here know what Fake Fat Sunny's understanding of the QB situation is?

    I think the logic behind it was you normally read a couple of sentences from one of his SHORT posts and lose interest. This way you read a couple of sentences from each post and by the time he posted it the 7th time. You got through most of it. <_<

  7. I think Neufeld is very underrated. Not a star, but a solid 2nd TE.

     

    Other players who could be pushed out the door...

     

     

    Prioleau by Mark Baker

    Bannan and Sape by Anderson & Edwards

    Sullivan by McFarland

    Shaw by Aiken & Evans

    Burns by Simonton or Williams

    Shelton by Lawton

     

    I realize that some of these are long shots, but except for MAYBE Shaw, I'd don't think any of these players would be missed. I am not encouraged by what I have read here about Shelton missing blocks while in the meantime Lawton hits everything he sees.

  8. I am a fantasy football addict and will never give it up, but you are right one thing...the people who call up a radio show and want to know who they should start that week.

     

    Newsflash...the "experts" you are talking to don't know anymore than you do. I don't play FF to have somebody else tell me who I should start.

  9. I realize everyone has fallen in love with this guys height, weight and speed but let us look at the evidence.

     

    1.  NO ONE drafted him.  Every scout that looked at him took a pass.

     

    2.  The team that did take a look at him cut him at the first opportunity.

     

    There is something that doesn't show up in the draft guides folks.  Either he is incapable of learning the intracacies of a pro system, he has no work ethic or there is something else going on that worries all the scouts and the Bills.

     

    Some guys are just draft guide wonders but are not football players.  That is why I rarely get carried away with draft guide rankings.

    Exactly. You hope somebody with his numbers(no I am not referring to his Wonderlic score), would be someone you can work with and develop. You bring him in, take a look and hope you find a diamond in the rough. It's clear by the fact that he did not make it beyond the first cutdown that it is unlikely that he will be on the practice squad.

     

    You took a shot at a UDFA and missed. No big deal. Cutting him won't be the thing that everybody remembers MM for. We will be fine for several years to come with Campbell, Neufeld & Euhus. Who knows maybe even Trafford is the TE who ends up on the practice squad and turns out to be the diamond in the rough. Onward!

  10. I am surprised that Haddad survived, yet Myers and Beard were let go. Haddad has seen very little action in the pre-season games. Maybe because of the film they have on Haddad, they already know what he is capable of versus the rookies who have never been in the NFL.
