No, JP, we are NOT moving slow. It's friggin day 3 of FA! You're insane! :-)

And the same team that just cut many of their "name" players.

That was a great article. Says what I've been trying to say better than I ever could.

A peep hole into the lady's room.

That's a great point. Remember that McNally didn't have a real chance to evaluate players until training camp started. I think he has a good handle on the players at this point. I think you're probably right. The line will be re-shuffled. I bet MW ends up on the left side. He sure does get paid like one.

Same here. Never been happier since I left the Catholic Church. The whole idea of "giving something up" for lent didn't make much sense to me. If you're going to sacrifice, why not do it the entire year?

Look, it's the second day of FA. This is not a time for logic. :-)

No kidding! We're screwed!

You're right! Tom Donahoe sucks!

Doomed! DOOOOMMMEEEDDDDD!

I think that's a good idea. Remember, you'll probably want a reference from them down the road. The verbal / written thing is a good way to stay out of this problem.

I agree. But he SHOULD lose his job if he isn't better than Willis. And he isn't. Willis is better than Henry.

I think it's funny how reactionary and over the top agents are. Disaster? DISASTER? And does anyone really think that Donahoe doesn't have a plan? Agents are insane. Every word is calculated to produce alarm. Every word is calculated to produce a sense of urgency. NFL agents are no better than used car salesmen. I don't think anyone should buy into their crap, and I see far too many people doing that. He doesn't care because someone is going to pay Jonas (read: I'm going to try to make MY 10% commision as large as possible). I bet Jonas gets a ton of money via FA. I bet he gets pro-bowl money. And he doesn't deserve it. He's very good, but he doesn't deserve what he's asking for.

Oh really? Do you have idea what the cap implications are if we cut him? Did you know that bonus $$ is amortized, and if we cut him he'd probably still eat up over 6 mil in cap space this year?

Root canals usually aren't too bad. It's usually what leads up to them which is bad. When I had mine, it was because I had an infection. That was very painful. I think you'll be fine because you ovbiously aren't sick. Drugs are good these days.

I agree. Bledose had passion to prove others wrong - and when he was able to do that he got complacent. He'll have a good 1/2 season in Dallas where he kicks ass, but after that he'll consider his point proven and that will be it.

To me, that was the biggest problem with Drew. He could rarely make a play when something broke down. That's why he was easy to defense. I don't buy the statue talk, because even a pocket passer can make stuff happen when all of the original routes and dumpoffs were screwed. I've mentioned this before, but we need a QB that can win a game for us by himself. Just one or two per year. Drew couldn't do that.

Funny story about this. I used to work with a woman who had a virtual shrine to her cat in her office. She had a mouse pad made up with a picture of her cat. All kinds of stuff. I was going through some old memory cards (for cameras) that I have an on one of them I found a ton of pictures of her shrine. She had used the office digital camera to document her shrine. Hilarious. This was 6 years ago and in a different job, so I had flashbacks when I saw them.

You friggin nailed it.

Yeah, donahoe sure does suck!

Umm, absolutely I would pass on a guy who is known for horrible character.

That's true. However, Donahoe is smart and sometimes doesn't waste his time interviewing people he's already spoken to or has a good feel for. I think TD uses the interview as a way to weed out someone who is on the bubble, or guage the need to look at someone further.

No, I'm sorry, there's no friggin reason for that type of violence. Some smartass remark is no excuse for beating the crap out of someone, then attempting to rob them of their cell phone. No way.

Hey - I didn't say they were *good looking* girls. :-)

Actually, it was girls who assisted with the nickname giving!
