Mathis is 30 or 31. Freeney is a little older I think. Colts need a lot of help on defense. Will they still be good when the rest of the roster is playoff ready?

I don't know, if not they can cut him. Football contracts are a joke.

:jnc @ tagging a punter.
I hope you guys are being facetious with the idea of tagging Flynn. He'd make like $18 million next year. :jnc

NFL Network yanked the replay of the Saints/Vikings game? Really?
The last time the Giants used the tag, it took them 12 days to work out a deal with Jacobs. I'd be surprised if it even takes that long for Weatherford.Wellington said:

It's like people forget that Green Bay doesn't have a douchebag billionaire owner that could pocket the unspent cash.
One thing the players got right in the new CBA is the minimum cash spend, which starts next year per team. Right now, it's just a league wide calculation. But in 2013, a team has to spend 95% of it's cap in cash
And I could see the Pack going after Mario. If he could stay healthy he could be an amazing 3-4 DE.
Not a chance. He'll get premium player money. He might be a fit, but it's completely anathema to Thompson's business practices.

Wait, garbage teams actually have to spend money now? I can't wait to see all the horrible contracts in the future!
Cash to the cap, it won't make a lick of difference for 95% of the league.
If I sign a player to a 15m signing bonus, that 15m is cash spent towards the cap even though it's amortized over the life of the contract because it's cash spent in year one. You basically have to spend in cash what the cap number is in a given year, most teams do that anyway.
I thought it started this year at 85%.

Watched NFL Live while at the gym. They of course were babbling on and on about the Saints thing. Golic on one side and Steve Young on the other.
Then Tom Jackson lets loose this gem (I'm paraphrasing a bit):
"When a guy came across the middle, I wanted to hurt him physically. I wanted to hurt him mentally. I wanted to send him a message about coming across the middle. Did I want to injure him? No, I didn't want to hurt him."
Soooo.... you wanted to hurt him but you didn't want to hurt him.
Whaaa?
Fucking ESPN. Can't figure out what the hell they want to say.

Lost in all this "Saints are the dirtiest team in the history of mankind" talk is the fact that Thursday is Peyton Manning Independence Day!
Pey Pey's been hanging around my neck of the woods, throwing 40-45 yard bombs at practice, and looking like he's about to take the Dolphins/Redskins/Cardinals/Jets to the Super Bowl.

Most of the Saints
And cajun's banned.
So I think that covers everyone.
Yeah, I was watching that too.
I understood what Jackson was trying to say, but it definitely didn't come out right.

I forgot about the Sean Payton pill theivery. That's so awesome. As someone who's battled addiction, I can say I respect that man even more for leading his team as a very successful coach/coordinator. It's hard enough to not shit your pants on the regular when you're strung out on opiates, let alone coach a successful football team.
Sean, you're welcome in Baltimore...
Edit: The more I say "Sean," the more I feel no one named "Sean" should be an NFL coach.

XBox? It would have been better if the kid got a super old system, which he hates. Maybe finds an old NES at a thrift store, and as he's poor, can only afford it.
I'm so much better at this than Sean Payton.
Maybe Tom will throw that ball better next year.

What are you arguing here? When has Green Bay gotten into the habit of wasting money?

I think it's a mindset. He obviously learned to hit hard and punish the opponent. He doesn't want to end their careers. You could be in the midset of "I want to tear this guys ACL."

Dig it. The D-Bowe show remains in KC. And he'll be amazing when Manning is throwing to him.

They aren't going to spend it elsewhere is my point. There is no risk to the organization because there will be no alternative use of that $14m. That's my point. The only thing that matters in pro sports is opportunity cost, and the opportunity cost here is (if TT behaves as he always has) zero.

What's wrong with cajun aside from his avatar?
We can start taking bets on whether he or Buckethead gets banned first!

That's a hard one. I think cajun posts more on gaming side so there's that. Buckethead has a callous disregard for class or taste (still love you man!) so that has to be a push on the odds.
