So except for Perrault all those guys are Moose bound. Can someone who understands capology better than I explain the impact of Matty’s waiver? If he clears, do we need to buy out his contract if we release him? What is the cap hit then? Right now he runs us $4.125 million cap hit, and with Little going to LTIR that would free up a max. $9.4 million, if that is how it works. Long term Laine signing or new Roslovic contract in the offing with that extra cash? Any insights?

So this is repeated in the Random Jets news so comments can go there, but for the sake of the waiver wire thread where this should belong:

Lather, rinse, repeat for Goalie. Every year is apparently “make or break” year for Maurice according to you. Every year he is woefully inept and we’d be much better off without him. And yet he is still here and your argument starts with a false assertion. He has made the playoffs 4 times in 7 seasons here.

So after the dust settles on the riot,Congress got back to work and members were allowed to speak. Many addressed the violence, thanked the police for protecting them, and calls to stop the madness were common, from both parties. Then there was Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, who had this take and felt that the immediate aftermath of the insurrection was the time to offer this nugget: And he got applause from Republicans for that. For clarity, I imagine he is referencing the Parker conspiracy that ANTIFA sent in double agents to create violence as a false flag operation and get Pro-Trumpers to take the blame, much like the accusations of Proud Boys infiltrating BLM rallies and starting violence to make the March look violent. Many cite this guy (“Horns”) as the Antifa plant since he was seen at a BLM rally earlier. Except the leader of the Proud Boys himself has identified the man as Q/MAGA and photos (once the cropping is removed) back that up. https://twitter.com/halfabubbleoff/status/1347066359914459136?s=20 https://twitter.com/Dan_Donovan_17/status/1347026444879241217?s=20

Once the Capitol is cleared, I hope all Democrats return, no matter what state the building is in, no matter what time it is, and say “let’s continue with the certification”. No delay, no excuses. Have the National Guard surround the chamber if they have to. Get Pence back in and demand that he count the votes ASAP. Sit amid the destruction - no attempt to tidy the mess - and do your job, and if a Republican (any not too chicken **** to show up) still wants to question it, hold the debate right there in the chamber, let them have their little stunt, let the Republicans fight amongst themselves for the allotted time, then quietly say “let’s vote on it”, shut it down, and move on to the next state until the certification happens. Don’t care if it takes until 10:00 am tomorrow as long as they take no breaks and show the US citizens and the world that for once they take the job seriously and are willing to plow through the night to get the job done. Show the MAGA idiots that democracy will not be intimidated, but do it amidst the ruins so the GOP can ruminate on what they have wrought.

At some point you have to make the defence fear your arm if you want to have success running the ball as a QB. Hill has shown enough to be a viable threat. Streveler has not done that even in his time in the CFL. His success here in the short term was largely based on having Harris and Demski as viable options out of the backfield so teams could not just key on him on random plays. That credit goes to LaPolice despite many not wanting to give that due credit. When Streveler became the full time starter after Nichols’ injury, teams got wise by spying him and forcing him to beat them with his passing. For the most part, he was unsuccessful and that is why they rushed in Collaros to save the season. The question is will he become a Turner Gill who shows that he has no real talent as a QB and is a glorified runner who can throw a ball but does not have the mental skill set to pick apart a defence, or does he become a Henry Burris or Tracy Ham who learns the passing game and evolves out of the “gimmick running QB” mould to become a mobile passer?

A healthy Kyler Murray would have made a huge difference. Him in playing against Watford and I say the Cards win

When that one leg also includes an arm and the ability to read an NFL defence, absolutely.

He’s a 23 year old kid with $14 million guaranteed in the bank and a lifetime of being protected and coddled as a star athlete from high school through college whose destiny from an early age was to be a pro football player. Doesn’t make him stupid or a bozo. Pro athletes live in a very different world than the average fan. Frankly, I’d be more surprised if I heard that he WASN’T snorting cocaine off a hooker’s ass on a daily basis. Even if he never plays another down in his life, he’s already made out better financially then I ever will, and I’ve been working 35 years.

According to TSN, the Germans were given the option of rescheduling their initial games once the COVID outbreak hit. They chose to keep the games as they were. The rationale was that they were going to lose these 2 games anyway, so the scores don’t matter, and they would rather get their full compliment back for the games that matter to them against the Swiss and the Slovaks to try and crack the playoffs. I was literally typing my response at the same time. You are just faster on the send button. 🤣

I was given the option of getting a 90th anniversary ring from the club, personalized and only 90 maximum were to be made. Absolutely love it.

How big are the replica rings? Can they actually be worn, or just displayed?

And happy Festivus to all. This year we’ll take a break from the airing of grievances as it would take all of 2021 to get through it, and as for feats of strength we’ve all survived the year, and that takes some serious strength. All the best to everyone this holiday season.

Here’s the US version of that concept a few years ago.

There is no room for this king of smut on this site. This is supposed to be about football, and I must object. Moderators, please delete this topic and censor the parties who.......... Ok, my wife left the room and stopped watching me type. As you were.

Keep the name (since it identifies an army regiment, and COULD also just mean a bird), change the logo. Or just go with Hawks. As for the logo, this would be quite fitting (even if it is actually an eagle) since it is already tied to the club’s history: https://pin.it/3yp2gB3

COVID related as well.

I’d watch Jets-Preds or Jets-Wild any day over seeing the Sens.

9-0 decision. So much for Trump’s hand-picked conservative judges returning the favour. Correct me if I am wrong, but this SCOTUS decision is NOT the Texas state suit against the swing states, correct?

The Niners shifted their offence last year to a massively run heavy game plan simply to, in the words of reporters who followed the team and talked to the coaching staff, “keep Garoppolo from costing us the game with a bad pick”. Not sure if that is completely accurate, but he is not well regarded it seems despite a gaudy won-lost record overall. Having said that, Kirk Cousins is the most overpaid QB in the game today, and would be a big downgrade. He is Jimmy without the winning percentage.

Actually, it’s “re-elect”. So they really could. And both GOP candidates did get the most votes in November, they just did not cross the magic 50% + 1 barrier needed because of 3rd party candidates on the ballot. So the Dems winning both would legitimately be the surprise. Never underestimate the stupidity of large swaths of the American public.

Well, Trump left his supporters high and dry with no buses home once after a rally. Fitting that his ride home would abandon him and leave him standing around after his next one. Actually, my favourite visual from Twitter is the person who suggested that the NYSE draft up an indictment while he is in the air from Washington, and get an arrest warrant and apprehend him the second he descends from the stairs of Air Force One in Florida. Then perp walk him in handcuffs live on TV into a waiting police vehicle before he can start his rally. Now THAT would be event television.
