Thorpe running with second team.

Coates in. no sign of D'Costa Rican (or Palliser)

C. Johnson  off to the side with Focketi. Didn't see him scrimmage at all, but may have missed it, or with second team.

Dressler looks as crisp as an autumn day. Arms fully extended and pulling in darts. Nil evidence of any loss of step.

Loffler sitting out much of practice. He did manage to make it into scrimmage long enough to jump a route on Denmark.

Hardrick wearing one of those wide brimmed Tilley hat things chasing Loffler around the field was a sight. He looked like a very large, but insane beekeeper.

Beautiful INT. by Fogg. Very similar to Randle's OT snag against Mont.

Dbs. flying around.

Westerman, Okpalaugo, and Jeffcoat working the crowd.

This team is LOOSE.

An aside: #82 (?) gained some reps with second squad as did #80 Wolitarsky. 

They were also periodically pumping in the  crowd noise.... Loud, unrelenting, but with no substance or purpose other than to be distracting.....A perfect simulation for all things Priders. 

Wasn't able to stay for the whole practice as the wasps were wicked in the stands. I finally got nailed at the 45 min mark.

88. Released prior to practice. Was 82 white or black? 

I suspect that #82 is Xander Tachinski  from the Rifles.

this was my first thought, too....I wasn't 100% sure he was still with the team, but this made the most sense...

Did I ever tell you guys about the time Blaszko took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can’t find one. Finally, Blaszko takes me into a vacant lot and says, ‘Here we are.’ Well, we sat there for a year and a half. Sure enough, someone constructed a bar around us. Well, the day they opened it, we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burnt the place to the ground. Blaszko yelled over the roar of the flames, "Always leave things the way you found them!"

I'm going to miss Blaszko!  Did I ever tell you  guys about the time I went horseback riding with Blaszko, but there weren’t any horses around? Well, Blaszko throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well, wouldn’t you know it, my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Blaszko decides to enter me in the Breeders’ Cup, right, under the name Turkish Delight. And I’m running in second place, and I’m running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, ‘Don’t shoot him, he’s a human.'”

So what you're saying is that you went to a bar and got drunk with some flaming guy, who then mounted you and rode you like a horse for 3 days?

Did I ever tell you guys about the time Blaszko showed up at my daughter’s wedding? You know my daughter, she’s a beautiful girl. Well, Blaszko shows up and you know he’s a big fella. Well, he’s standing right between me and my daughter at the ceremony. He’s got no right to be there, but he’s drunk and he’s Blaszko.  Well, long story short, the priest accidentally marries me and Blaszko. We spent the weekend in the Poconos — he loved me like I’ve never been loved before.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time Blaszko took his family to Sea World? They were watching Shamu the whale when Blaszko got splashed. So Blaszko yells, ‘I’m Brett Blaszko and no one gets me wet!’ So he climbs into the tank, grabs Shamu, and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him and yells, ‘How do you like it?’ And then damn if Blaszko didn’t step in there and finish the show.

Brett Blaszko taught me how to love a woman — and how to scold a child.

HE SLEEPS 8 HOURS A NIGHT!

well he's pretty normal in that way

“Did I ever tell you about the time Brett Blaszko forced me to wear a woman’s bikini around the office? Blaszko tears off my clothes and makes me wear this skimpy bikini. For the next three months I had to conduct my business wearing a woman’s bathing suit. I would cry from shame and question my manhood daily. But at the end of the quarter, I’ll be damned if my sales hadn’t tripled.

had a wasp shortened beer on the deck a couple of days ago.

I once saw Brett Blaszko scissor-kick Angela Landsbury.

To Brett Blaszko!!!

Did I tell you guys about the time I asked Blaszko to dress up like Santa for a Christmas party I was throwing for my children.  Well Blaszko shows up as Santa, reaches into his bag and says: I’ve got goodies for you kids. He proceeds to hand out scrap metal and cigarettes to them. Then he takes off his beard and says: There is no Santa ’cause I ate him!

Did you know Brett Blaszko is the godfather of my son? He shows up at the church in his golf pants, caked in mud. Well, ol’ Brett Blaszko pushes the priest aside and says, ‘I’ll baptize that piece of calimari!’ Then he pours Scotch all over my baby son and says, ‘There! You’re baptized! My son is still blind to this day!

So anyways, Blaszko would put on a white tie and tails and walk his pet cobra through the park on a leash. He named the cobra “Beverly”. He taught it how to fetch and dial a phone. But then one day, it bit the maid. So with tears in his eyes, Blaszko had to shoot the maid.

For sure but speaking of phones, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone he had 3 missed calls from Brett Blaszko

Did I ever tell you guys about the time Brett Blaszko sold me into slavery? He puts me on a ship to Thailand, right? And I'm chained to a pipe. Meanwhile, ol' Blaszko, he's back in Canada siring three beautiful children with my wife!

To Blaszko! A ten-foot-tall, two-ton son of a ***** who could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing!
