Wow, Bernie is taking shots at Stan like it is a done deal they’re leaving. He seems very bitter.

Thanks. Makes sense.

Is it the “IR done for the year” or the “IR may come back soon”?

Agree with Zack, here.

I think it is almost a certainty that they are going to sign a few castoffs from other teams, meaning they are going to have to cut / IR players that made the 53.

It would have been doubly cruel if Sam made the 53 and then was let go for a QB…

My hope is that the work he did here, and the way the team reacted to him will make it easy for a DE needful team to add him at least to their PS.

In that alternate universe where he didn’t come out, was he drafted higher and he on somebody’s 53 man roster today?

How about Mike Vick?
Maybe for a bubble DL and a 2015 5th and 6th?

Wow, that’s harsh.

I was driving home from North Shore MA last week and was listening to the Sports Hub 98.5 FM. The topic was, has Bellycheck (whom they all believe is still the best coach in the NFL hands down) slipped any compared to the other coaches in the league. They then did a thumbs up / thumbs down on the rest of the coaches, and for the thumbs up ones, weighed in on if they would be happy or sad if that coach took over the Patriots.
The voters were the hosts Felger and Massaratti and the Producer Beatle Bertran.
When they got to Fisher, one of them said, “This is a tough one”, but then Bertran shouted, “He’s been in the league a million years and doesn’t have anything to show for it.” They all voted thumbs down.

They all voted thumbs up on the rest of the coaches in our division, even Pete Carol, who apparently they HATED when he was coaching the Pats.

I know, they are just talking heads who are admittedly very biased pro-Patriots, but just another reference point for public opinion regarding the Fisher King…

Wow, talk about a blast from the past! Is Eddie still with us somewhere? His posts were some of the best.

I am not SOKA, but I’ll discuss this with you.

It’s kind of a foregone conclusion that LA will get (at least one) NFL team.

1) Why a re-tread? wouldn’t it be better with a fresh start (maybe the Bills become the LA Explosion)?

2) If StL loses the Rams, would they EVER get another NFL team?

Like Zack, I really don’t have a dog in this fight; I root for the horns and always have. ESPN got me going during the last move with talk of the “Hartford Rams”. I would have been a season ticket holder!

Short of that, I side with stability. The team has roots in StL, and I think it is in their long term interest to stay there.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “Silent Stan” moves the team to LA, I just hope he doesn’t.

Win for the Fisher King. Tony Dungy is entitled to his opinion, as are those other Americans on the wrong side of history (AKA the Republicans)

Yes, Sam is the first in the open, but certainly not the last. I really hope he makes the team. I’d love to see him sack Payton Manning; if not that, a sack of his younger brother or any QB in our division will do…

I sir, take personal offense at the term “more than one way to skin a cat”.

I find that morally reprehensible.

I, personally, prefer “more than one way to fuck a whore”.

See, whores get paid to have sexual relations. The poor cat? No say in how its fur gets ripped off its carcass. Much more PC IMO.

Schotty can’t call games scared. It’s not just him, it’s like every OC out there. I kind of miss the damn the torpedoes, let’s skin some cats and fuck some whores Mike Martz Offense. No fear. With this D, they can afford to miss on a few, as long as they hit on a bunch.

Come on, guys…

Charcoal rules, especially with the weber kettle cooker.

Year round, first path I shovel.

I also think it was a good signing, but outside of Pre-Season games, let’s hope he doesn’t have to take the field this year…

Thanks, all.

ER, I didn’t get your PM. Shortly after I registered, I saw that TD was one of the most active posters and bailed. I kind of used beer logic to find you guys; I went back to the last bar… um, site, that we used to hang at. After I joined the Buzz, I never posted back on the Huddle, but I knew WV did, so I went there to see if I could find him, and here I am. New Huddle site.

I just started reading the thread with X, weird and wacky stuff…

That is interesting, especially the part about the flipping taking hundreds of years instead of instantaneously. The magnetic field protects us from a lot of nastiness; I always thought the flip would have to be instantaneous to keep a field in place, otherwise the planet would be cooked by solar radiation.

Brings to mind the old Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.”
