Don't forget his kick return skills.

Seriously, Captain Connolly has been a pretty effective player in the NFL.

And by the way, that kick return may be my favorite football play ever, for the very personal reason that it cheered me up after one of the most depressing weeks of my entire life.

Thats what sports are for. If they can take you to another place for a few hours than it's worth watching!

No accounting for taste.

Did you ever read the chapter about it in Barbara Tuchman's The Proud Tower? You might enjoy it.

I like classical music, but know little about ballet. I like Stravinsky, he's different. I did read a ny times article about the shock when this debuted and watched a video consisting of a lot of humping.

Historical non fiction? sounds interesting.

I had American Ballet Theater subscriptions for a few years. And I actually sang accompanying the Boston Ballet one week.

If I listed 10 favorite light classical pieces, Swan Lake would usually be on the list. Other than that and Nutcracker by the same composer, however, I'm not sure there's a lot of ballet music I'm big on for the music.

Hey, umm folks, the thread is getting off subject.

Oh, and BTW, Miguel has already directly attributed the Mankins cap savings to the signing of Ayers, Casillas and Branch.

To clarify my statement, I do not know how the Patriots make those moves without the Mankins trade and without further hurting future cap years.

In other words - - direct attribution.

The PFW hosts suggested that there were options to create the cap space. All of those options (redoing Mayo's deal in the preseason, not signing Cannon/Slater to extensions) would have put the Patriots 2015 cap shape in worse shape.

Miguel, can you type the word "Yes"?

 

[Miguel]

Have we heard who did vote for Connolly? I know that Tom Curran and Michael Schottey did not.

Well, you just named a ballet that many people think was very bizarrely written.

The Rite of Spring (or Le Sacre du printemps or Vesna svyashchennaya) was not bizarrely written, per se. It was just well ahead of its time.
