  1. While not a perfect system, the 2 way contract is a decent model for the “protected guys.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/nba/2017/7/18/15985262/nba-two-way-contract-2017-summer-league-agents-worried-about-them
  2. I don’t disagree. That was part of my reasoning for a few “protected PS” players. It can work like the 2 way contracts in the NBA. There are a few guys that can go back and forth between the G-League and the active roster. So if 53 is the active roster and you have 4 2-way guys, you can keep most rosters fairly close. It’s the easiest way to get it done. It’s the path of least resistance.
  3. This is a great explanation but it will get put through. The players will SCREAM player safety and the owner’s will have to acquiesce. My guess is that the whole roster is active on game days, practice squads expand, and some level of protection for a certain number of guys on the PS. So maybe you can “protect” 3 or 4 guys on your PS & the PS moves to 12. Something like that seems to make sense.
  4. Already been ordered. It’s a couple hundred bucks extra but people say it’s worth it.
  5. You were spot on when it came to Peterman. It really is INCREDIBLE that anyone in, or around, the game can look at that guy and think there’s a chance!! He’s the worst ever and is being handed opportunities that he doesn’t deserve. Why is he in the league and Logan Woodside isn’t? What about Bo Levi Mitchell? Brogan Roback? The point being WHY does he continue to get chances despite failing at every turn? If the plan is to “strike lightning in a bottle” I’d take my chances with a guy that hasn’t failed with every chance.
  6. I am less handy than that!! Ha ha, that’s why i hadn’t to go this route.
  7. Yeah, we sold to Marsh in October. They gave us all a bunch of money to stay (as a key producer bonus) and then big bonuses at 24 and 36 months as part of the earn out. Basically, the sale made our non-competes null and void so they didn’t want our clients to walk out the door and lower the value that they were getting. It’s worked out so far but after 2 and a half months we are starting to see little bits of “Corporate America.” I’m going to let these 3 years play out re-evaluate.
  8. I’ll actually be at the game. Fat Harry’s is a pretty good time for the game but the crowd may be a little sparse.
  9. They will say that the racial incident made it impossible for Fields to stay there. It became a hostile environment. It is like discrimination in the workplace. That’s what they will argue.
  10. They have until 5:00 PM cst.
  11. Don’t forget the racist incident with the baseball player either. There is a lot going on with Fields.
  12. It is new construction. There will be an inspection and a pipe inspection as a part of it (assuming they accept my offer). There is no HOA. I have been on pins and needles all day. I’m really hoping that it works out.
  13. Yeah, it was a lot!! It was all of my banking, tax returns, w-2’s, investments, pay stubs, license, etc...I sent it all and then shredded it.
  14. Yeah, the area was rocked during Katrina. A lot has been done since then in that area. The Sewage and Water Board maintains the pumps and such. They don’t have the greatest reputation. This area is in much better shape now. Katrina gave that area a chance to redevelop.
  15. I was SUPPOSED to get married but that didn’t happen. Oh well I’ve got room!! It’s just me and my dog that weighs 16 lbs
  16. Done It’s in Gentilly not far from the park. I have some friends around there. It’s where all of the young professionals (or a lot of them) are going.
  17. Yeah, it’s in kind of the “new” area. I’m still on the early side though. The house
  18. This is a total LAMP post but I’m excited. I’m recently single (after 10 years) and it’s something that I’ve been thinking about. This will (hopefully) be my first house. I will find out by tomorrow.
  19. I have some friends that are alums. Apparently he and Fromm don’t get along either. I think that their may have been some promises from Kirby that didn’t come to fruition.
  20. Bills dad posts have always lived on the main board (just like the other girl that sings). It is certainly relevant to Bills football. A story about him (true or false) is Bills news.
