Brockmire's funny.

I spent a while looking for a source for the 200K marketing money limit, but couldn't find any. Does anyone else have a source?

I don't think that both VAJ & Rourke will be Lions next year, but I also don't think that $250K will kill them this year. Even if it does, it's worth it.

I think BC was banking on Rourke coming back. They were keeping some money in the bank by only paying VAJ 404K. I don't think they care if they go over the SMS by 99+K & Rourke is worth going over by more if it comes to that. Dolegala will get cut ASAP to save 55K. I'm sure they aren't at the top end of their SMS yet anyway.

Were paying Collaros 600K & Streveler 120K = 720K for our top 2 QB's BC's paying VAJ 404K so they could pay Rourke 316K this year to match our top 2 QB's. Assuming Rourke is worth 600K+, 300K+ for half a season's about right.

The penalty isn't for intentional hitting below the knees. It's the same as the play that took out Brown. Neither were intentional. Both were penalties.

The Refs on the field missed both calls. The CC got both calls right. That's what they are their for. To fix obvious mistakes.

Is there any way to change my Pick? After looking at the injury reports I'd like to pick OTT instead of SKN.

We need someone who is way younger, who understands that TV isn't the only way to provide the games.

Memo to PLOP... Stop using 'You know why it matters'. That is all.

The wording is clear recovery, not immediate recovery. Replay booth should know the rules and apply them correctly.

I think VAJ hyper extended his knee. If there's no ligament damage he could be good to go in a couple of weeks or so.

I don't know, which is why it will be interesting.

It will be interesting to see what changes BC makes now that they've been exposed so badly two weeks in a row.

40 minutes TOP should = more than one TD, but the D was simply amazing.

Every time I see Collaros play I think:

Ok Dirt Snooze.

The dirt nap says otherwise.

Everyone knows that I've never liked MOS, but canning him mid-season would be nuts.

I'm at the point now where I'm ready to start the airlift and get rid of the old guys who won't be around next year anyway (Neuf, Biggie, Alexander). I know it will be bad for our chances of sneaking into the last playoff spot. It will increase our chances of bouncing back next year because we'll know which replacements are worth spending more time on. It will give the new guys half a season to figure out the league, the speed, and what it takes to be successful. It will free up some SMS space too.

If you re-read my comment you'll see that I was making fun of the fact that he had to re-catch the same ball 3 times to get the TD.

I don't know why folks are complaining about Wilson's catching ability. He caught the TD ball 3 times.

I had no problem with the short practices when we were winning. Now that we're losing, it's something we can change to see if we get better results.

To those who keep say we should have kept Brown over Collaros. Collaros has a guaranteed contract that we'd have to pay out or trade him.
