Hopefully this is irrelevant to our team, since only a goddam fool of a GM would take advantage of this asinine "option." The Jets will be all over this sort of ********.

So I just ordered this year's vegetable seeds, and I was thinking: that statue would make a hell of a scarecrow, so, you know, if you guys aren't gonna use it any longer, I can probably get it on my landscape trailer, with a little help.

I could pitch in maybe ten dollars if it would help.

Kraft can sell whatever he owns to whomever he wishes. Look, Tom was a great QB, but he's kind of a jerk. He was OUR jerk for a long time, so we declined to take notice. Similar, of course, can be said of Bill. So it goes. I have an ongoing beef with my siblings, all of whom love to go on...

I'm sure they are keeping an eye on things, but the range of worthwhile players in free agency is always less than our hopes might suggest. Ours is still a pretty hollow roster, though, and I would not be surprised if they snatch a couple for solidly serviceable guys either for backup or for...

I was unaware the future had been cancelled. And again, our serenditpitous participation in this year's Super Bowl has, I think, led many to conclude we are significantly further along in the rebuild (from bottom-of-the-barrel dreck) than we actually are. I am sure that next year's record...

It leaves us with fewer draft picks and less money available to spend on our better young players in exchange for a declining shiny object who will play on his gimpy knee for a year or two, then wander off to Miami Beach. But addled fanboys will be happy for a few weeks, and that's really all...

He is overpriced, in the final phase of his career, and he has an arthritic knee. For a team midway in a rebuild, it is far wiser to expend your resources on a player who will not be limping around on Miami Beach when you really need him, on a draftee or on a younger vet. In my opinion, our...

AJ Brown is an overpriced, aging WR with a bum knee. What the hell is all the excitement about?

I have always thought that those who call the Krafts cheap have been full of **** all along, so I have experienced no revelation whatever. The Krafts are savvy businessmen willing to spend when it is wise to do so. Their critics are whiners envious of the Krafts' success in life, the usual...

You know that's not what I said, so bite me.

Gesundheit?

Maybe that's why Bill drafted nothing but safeties, Rutgers special teamers, and guys with bad knees.

"Chig Okonkwo" Any idea what the guy's REAL name is, so, you know, I can look him up?

As you may have noticed, I am - right or wrong - nervous about "proven players' (particulally for a team only midway in a rebuild) because the only way a guy gets "proven" is by playing well over a number of years. Fine, but in a damaging game like football, those years take a toll, and you...

Thin here, thin there. I have to keep reminding myself we are still early in the off-season. After all, nobody aside from Phil Draft Boy Perry has even begun to obsess over the draft yet. (No ill reflection intended. Phil is my favorite guy on the beat. I like Tom E too, but he grows wackier by...

Byard in, Hawkins out. I'm not gonna pretend to know if that's good or bad. Are there really degrees of Pretty Good?

Remember those halcyon days when "sports builds character" was the mantra? That mantra is now a delusion: at the pro level, at the college level, even to a degree at the high school level. Let's not pretend that your and my fascination with this stuff ought to be anything other than a guilty...

Heh. That'd be nice. Maybe Tom will have another of his weepy sentimental spells and let it happen. More likely, though, some ill-run team will offer far more than that, as I'm sure you know, and Crosby can become a very expensive decorative object ensconced on their IR rather than on ours.

Baltimore made an absolutely foolish deal. They are backing out of it for the same reason, I suspect, that we should have nothing to do with it. Crosby is at the end of his career, and his cost in picks and cash, both immediately and over time, is far greater than is justified by his fading...
