That's No Moon

With the current CBA practice time and OTA rules you simply don't have the ability to completely break down and rework your #3 QB anymore. Particularly if he's not super invested in working hard on his own and/or resistant to change. Even in camp there are probably half the snaps there used to be. Teaching a guy to have field vision and accuracy is nearly impossible by the time they've gotten to the NFL, hence you don't really see a lot of truly developmental QBs work out. More often you see QBs who were drafted low because of measurables such as arm strength or size work out than guys with cannons but no vision or accuracy. There is a window to learn those skills and those guys missed it. It was a bad pick when they made it. Getting a 7th is a win because he was going to be cut in about 3 weeks.

and people wondered why I didn't care for Stevie Johnson.

A. There's a difference between bringing in a guy to throw one time and actually signing said player. B. Good teams do this all the time with all positions. Your pro scouts saw someone they think might help the bottom of the roster, you bring them in for a workout.

Yeah I was going to, but it's Gugny so nevermind.

They used to allow beer kegs in the stadium so long as you bought the keg a seat. A guy shimmied his way out onto the guide wire that holds up the kicking net, on purpose. I think the old timers would be able to hold their own. That said, that film wasn't as bad as it could have been but people should understand it will be used as Exhibit A as to why the stadium needs to go downtown and tailgating needs to be reigned in permanently. People are way too eager and proud to post their jackassery online.

Yeah, Wendy's is the only thing in my adult life to send me to the hospital. Good times.

Wendy's tried to kill me once. I took the hint and haven't gone back.

And for the record, it's good for fast food but it's still fast food. If they take the spicy chicken sandwich off the menu I'll have no reason to return.

I don't always want Chik-fil-a but when I do, it's always on a Sunday.

Did someone put a bullet in his head, you know, to be sure?

Better is better, different is different. Different does not necessarily equal better.

Sesame Place has long been a place where members of NY, NJ, and Philly gangs meet-up with their kids. Dorney Park in Allentown is a mess too. Both the amusement park and the water park.

That's solid work by the agent there and good on Bobby for agreeing to it. All players would be wise to seek out actual quality representation who looks out for their long term interests like that. Too many agents seek to maximize immediate cash payout because that's how THEY get paid and how THEY attract a bigger client base. Deals like this, while much less sexy, are incredibly good business.

Found it completely by accident one time. I was driving down McKinley on a Saturday before the game when I noticed that all the parking lots on that side of McKinley are connected together in some fashion all the way around to the lots on Milestrip. Don't you all go ruining it for me now. Save the Batcave for special occasions only. Of course you can also just go through the mall parking lot over to Milestrip and use the light there to get you out but it's still on the wrong side of the McKinley intersection. Yes, TSA in B-Lo has been good on Sunday nights as well. I think they staff it appropriately on home game Sundays realizing that there are more people coming through than on a typical Sunday night. If you have the TSA pre-check it's even better.

That's true, it's a good 10 minute walk. I always park on the far side of the campus as well. But as you said, those 10 minutes translate into getting straight out of the lot every time.

IIRC in Darby's first pre-season he looked a hot mess then did a good job during the season. The transition to zone is going to be interesting though. Put me down for 6 wins. I don't see a lot of improvement on the roster. Some churn, yes, just not much that's actually better. As for McDermott I witnessed his dumpster fire of a defense in Philadelphia so I'll take a wait and see approach. Maybe he learned something from that debacle.

Section M6, row 10, Seat 111

I'm sure there's more than one way to do it and everyone has their preferred parking lot to go to, etc. I generally prefer the ECC lot to the stadium lots because I've gotten stuck in stadium lots many times and I'm sure that's because I don't know the best places to park in each of those lots due to lack of experience. I'll wager that if we polled all of the major lots you'd be able to get a good way out and to the airport from each of them. What I know for certain is there was nothing better than the spot I was able to use when I had my season's back in the early 90's. If you remember the old bus/limo lot that no longer exists there was a tiny bit of parking in there. Needed to show a pass to the Cop directing traffic at that pedestrian crossing. We were out of there before most people even got to their cars.

This. I've made that flight several times. I parked out at the far lot of ECC and walked quickly after the game. Not running, just walking with a purpose. Unless the game goes to OT you'll be fine. Of course if it's a blow out you should just leave early to be safe. In terms of route, I turned left out of ECC onto Southwestern, right onto Brompton, right onto McKinley, right into the first McKinley Mall entrance, cut through the parking lot up to the light, turn left and use the light to cross over McKinley into the other parking lot on the other side, turn right and cut through the parking lot all the way around to the Home Depot. Use the light at Home Depot to turn left onto Milestrip, right onto the Thruway and the hard work is finished. Get out in the left lane and put your foot down. I'm not normally a guy who advocates cutting through parking lots but getting to the airport is a special circumstance.

All the playoff games. So, none.

Or his price is too high, or he's not willing to agree to indemnity language. He's also a vested veteran who would have a fully guaranteed salary after week 1. Aaron drops his ask to vet minimum with no guaranteed money he'll have a job in week 2.

If you see enough doctors you will find one who says what you want to hear. That said the NFL has absolutely no soul whatsoever. If the kid can play, wants to take the risk, and is willing to sign a contract the completely insulates the team, he'll find a job. When he gets hurt again the team will use whatever language they put into the contract to protect themselves and pay the kid as little as possible on his way out the door to a lifetime of health problems if not full on paralysis.

A quick mess about on Spotrac got me to 10M of cap space just getting to the 53 man roster without cutting anyone important. If Maclin comes in a 4.5 there's still room and all the draft picks are already signed. Not for nothing, the closer camp gets Barnidge's price goes down, not up. That said I have to believe Baltimore makes a stronger offer.

Yes. Definitely yes.
