There's at least two reasons. One is because they rule book clearly says it's legal to spike the ball in order to stop the clock. Item 3. Stopping Clock. A player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time if, immediately upon receiving the snap, he begins a continuous throwing motion and throws the ball directly into the ground. Two is because spiking the ball in order to stop the clock doesn't fit the criteria for an intentional grounding foul. ARTICLE 1. DEFINITION. It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. And yes, as pointed out in the post above, there was a time when the rule book did not allow for a spike to stop the clock. You had to snap the ball and then throw it over a receiver's head and out of bounds or at his feet. Everybody realized they were just unnecessarily chasing footballs around so they implemented the spike rule.

I used follow Yeah, that's true But my following days are over Now I just gotta follow through And I remember what my father said He said "Son, life is simple It's either cherry red or Midnight blue, oh Midnight blue (oh) oh"

When day has left the night behind And shadows roll across my mind I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the streets Yes, and when I'm feeling down and blue Then all I do is think of you And all my foolish problems seem to fade away South City midnight lady I'm much obliged indeed

I do believe in you And I know you believe in me Oh yeah Oh yeah And now we realize Love's not all that it's supposed to be Oh yeah Oh yeah And knowing that you would have wanted it this way I do believe I'm feeling stronger every day

Sitting on the park bench Eyeing little girls with bad intent. Snot is running down his nose Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. Hey Aqualung

Oh hey thanks for the posts! The cover was designed by Getcovers.com. You tell them what you're looking for and they send you some images. Then you keep tweaking until you're satisfied - all by email. Thanks again I hope you like the read!

Hey all, I know I don't post here a lot. Once in a while in the football threads and sometimes I like to add to the lyric thread. But I'm here every day checking everything out. Some of you may remember me as Bumbles247 from the old BBMB. Anyway, a while back I published my first novel, Deadly Possession. I know a couple of you from here checked it out like @muppy and @Shaw66 among others (ELVIS VOICE: Thank you. Thank you very much). It turns out I had numerous requests for a sequel. And since I'm retired now I decided there wasn't really any reason not to write one. So with my new book, Infinite Possessions, I now have a series called A Wicked Paranormal Saga. I invite you all to check it out (AKA: Buy a copy, LOL. Hell, buy ten copies for all your friends, I'm on a fixed income these days!🤣). I thank you all in advance. They're available as Ebooks, paperbacks and hardcovers. They're also available on Kindle Unlimited for those of you who partake. It is a fictional horror story, so be prepared - bad things do happen to some characters. And there is a certain amount of mature content. I don't want to give out too many spoilers. Let's just say there's a one-of-a-kind evil spirit who makes life miserable for anyone he contacts. And the story begins in western New York. I understand this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if you do take time to read it, I would love to hear from you - and if you could take a moment to go back and leave a review on the Amazon site, I will love you long time. 😂 IT'S TIME. ARE YOU READY? Bud considered the question. "I don't suppose . . ." He couldn't think of anything to finish with that he didn't already know the answer to, so he started laughing. He laughed when he started to change into his camouflage clothes, and he laughed when Jasper told him not to bother. He laughed while he put on his jacket and shoes, and he laughed all the way out to his truck. Before he started driving, Bud quit laughing long enough to wipe the tears from his eyes . . . https://mybook.to/AWickedParanormalSaga

Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid Who suffered so much for what he did They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame Since that day he ain't been the same See the man with the stage fright Just standin' up there to give it all his might And he got caught in the spotlight But when we get to the end He wants to start all over again

See the drunkard of the village Falling on the street Can't tell his ankles From the rest of his feet He loves his old laughing lady 'Cause her taste is so sweet But his laughing lady's loving Ain't the kind he can keep

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin' Though the streams are swollen Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide Through rain and wind and weather Hell bent for leather Wishin' my gal was by my side All the things I'm missin' Good vittles, love, and kissin' Are waiting at the end of my ride

Now, the rovin' gambler, he was very bored Tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes, I think it can be very easily done" "We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun And have it on Highway 61"

We could go walking through a windy park Or take a drive along the beach Or stay at home and watch TV You see, it really doesn't matter much to me I'm not talking 'bout moving in And I don't want to change your life There's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out And I'd really love to see you tonight

This is an old article from 2010 but it gives you the idea. If this is all it is it shouldn't be a big deal. It happens around the league all the time. Marcel Dareus failed the test one year and came back and passed it a few days later. https://www.nationalfootballpost.com/columns/features/an-inside-look-at-the-nfl-conditioning-tests/

Del Boca Vista, Phase Two!

Nah. Go back to 2011 and total the top 10 cap charges for each team and compare it to the $120 million cap. You will come up between 40%-50% for almost every team. Then add up the top 10 cap charges for each team in 2025 and compare it with the $279 million cap. You will still come up at 40%-50% for almost every team. Maybe it's being doled out to different positions. But the top players are still raking in the same percentage of the pie they always were. And that pie is growing by a huge amount every year. Which brings me back to the point of my post. If the players have a problem with the guy they will oust him. But I still don't believe, even if it's total shenanigans on his part, it's going to be enough to cause any kind of labor unrest between now and 2030. But that's just me.

When the latest CBA with its current model was signed in 2020 the salary cap was $198 million and minimum rookie salary was $610,000. Despite a catastrophic loss in revenue and a decreasing cap in 2021, the salary cap is up to $279 million just 5 years later - rookie minimum is $840,000. If the union members want the guy gone, they will get rid of him. But I'm not going to sit around pressing the labor unrest panic button just yet.

But every morning, I wake up and worry What's gonna happen today You see it your way, and I see it mine But we both see it slippin' away You know we always had each other, baby I guess that wasn't enough Oh, whoa, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love

You think you're a groove, Standing there in your wallpaper shoes And your socks that match your eyes. Back off boogaloo, I said, back off boogaloo, Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.

Mama, mama, please no more jaguars I don't want to be a pop star Mama, mama, please no more deckhands I don't wanna be a sailor man Mama, mama, please no more facelifts I just don't know which one you is Mama, mama, please no more husbands I don't know who my daddy is.

But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died

Up on Housing Project Hill It's either fortune or fame You must pick up one or the other Though neither of them are to be what they claim If you're lookin' to get silly You better go back to from where you came Because the cops, they don't need you And man, they expect the same.

Way down the street there's a light in his place He opens the door, he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some quiet little town And forget about everything

Gone too soon. We lost Rory 30 years ago today.

Actually, I thought I did. Must have forgot the link. That's how it was being reported on multiple sites yesterday. I was going by the quote below that was reported on numerous sites. Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic shared some insight on the disconnect between Stewart's camp and the Bengals. "It is my understanding they're offering the same language in this clause as the majority of first-round contracts," Dehner tweeted on Thursday. "And, for reference, have offered the exact language of the pick before (Walter Nolen) and after (Grey Zabel). It's different than that of Murphy and Mims the last two years and the Bengals generally structure contracts differently than most teams with guarantees, which matters. But the language being proposed for this specific clause is common across the NFL." Now it appears that Stewart's agency denies that it's the same. So, as usual, media reporting is a jumbled mess. But the idea and practice of such language is certainly nothing new. Many teams use it. Here's the latest from SI- https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/watch-cincinnati-bengals-rookie-shemar-stewart-sounds-off-on-contract-talks-with-team-01jxdmmbep85 Stewart's agency shot this down by replying to Dehner. "Hi Paul - feel free to message us if you'd like accurate information. Thanks!" they tweeted.

The language he's fighting against is exactly the same as the contracts signed by the players drafted ahead of him and behind him. Not sure how that would make him a Guinea pig.
