    Poyer and Tre are probably two of the gutsiest, team oriented players to ever come through here.   I look back fondly on their time here for a long time to come.  That said, the older I get the more I cheer for the logo on the helmet and not the name on the back of the jersey.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they both find their names on the Ring of Honor some day.

  2. -and the September 1st roster begins changing before the Opening Game even begins. Then, there’s injuries… Players still have to get paid but could be gone for ten games to a year while counting against the cap. We’ve already seen with this team that a year removed still isn’t enough time for seriously injured star players to return to form..

     

    In 4 short years, Beane has gone from wearing a silly flap hat at Christmas to a gray-haired old man.

    The glove was evidence submitted by the prosecution. If they knew it didn't fit, regardless of shrinkage, then they shouldn't have had him try it on in court. The visual (coupled with the rhyme) is a more powerful influence on the jury than an executive's testimony. 

     

    I remember experts discussing the glove thing after it happened, saying that you should never ask a question of a witness unless you already know the answer and it works in your favor. I suppose it's possible that if the prosecution hadn't mentioned the glove, then the defense would have anyway, knowing that it didn't fit. But then they'd have to admit that a bloody glove was found in his car. 

     

     

    It wasn’t shrinkage. Simpson put on a lot of weight prior to this. I’ve read he also did things physically that swelled his hands prior, as the Defense knew this would be an attempt by the prosecution to see him put the gloves on.
