Hm, those suspended players will not count against the cap. I'm now glad that these did not come down before the draft.

Wait, that's some shit. Vick's contract counted against the cap even after we cut him.

We got relief this year in $3 million.

 

[Bowser]

Tampa deserves the division.

I will now be rooting for the Bucs to win their division.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, they've still got that Doritios Locos Taco-lovin' Fatman as their QB.

Plus they didn't even give the guy any cash! C'mon son

Spoiler

Seriously though, it was a class move

I assume if the players are cut, the guaranteed portions will count against the cap same as any other player?

 

[LevelNth]

Regardless of their actual worth on the team, all this shit is going to mess up that Saints locker room so bad. Adding Brees' struggles with the FO on top just makes it all the worse.

Good. GOOD.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Was drew brees given an explanation or not??

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

I think he's going to have the best season out of all rookie WR.

Yeah I agree and I don't think that's too bold of a prediction considering he probably has the best QB and on the same roster as a pro bowl WR.

 

[Crisco]

The death penalty will be the 5 year/$125 million deal the Saints sign Brees too.

We all wait on bated breath.

i don't think it's bold either, i think he's in the best position to succeed. if cutler has time to throw next season I think the offense will be real good. Marshall, Jeffery, Bennett, and Hester as the 4th receiver isn't bad. Best Bears WR group since the Jeff Graham and Curtis Conway duo.

NFL announces Vilma suspended for the season; Hargrove 8 games, Will Smith 4 games and Fujita 3 games

 

[Mrbob]

So has Brees now violated the QB fraternity if he backs his (some former) teammates who went out of their way to injure fellow quarterbacks?

Want to see how Mr Explanation reacts to these punishments being handed down.

How much are the Saints paying Bobby Hebert for this "WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE?" defense on ESPN right now?

I went through school with Hebert's kids, the guy's a drunken asshat. School didn't want much to do with him.

 

[krzy123]

lol that is so true. There was a ton of talk aout those tams fighting it and nothing happened at all.

uh what, both teams are pursuing the avenues available to them, there's a hearing scheduled in May about this.

I want to see these players argue their suspensions. The NFLPA, current and former players, complain about player safety. Now the NFL puts the hammer down on NFLPA members who went out of their way to hurt other NFLPA members, and they want to fight it? Good luck. Makes the NFLPA cause look like a joke.

With the attention that will be paid to Marshall and Forte, he will certainly have as good a chance as anybody. After years of having short WR's the Bears WR corp will be a frustrating size matchup for any secondary.

 

[Big Baybee]

I can deal with that. Just want the dumb shit to be over. I'm a good dude. I don't deserve this :-(

It won't go to court. Schefter is full of shit. Remember when the Cowboys and Redskins were going to blow up the NFL over the salary cap penalties according to Schefter?

"sources!"

It is set to go before arbitration on May 10. The court stuff was what'll potentially happen after this ruling.

 

[Talon]

According to the league, Saints defensive captain Vilma offered $10,000 in cash to any player who knocked then-Cardinals QB Warner out of a playoff game at the end of the 2009 season, and the same amount for knocking then-Vikings QB Favre out of that season's NFC championship game. The Saints were flagged for roughing Favre twice in that game, and the league later said they should have received another penalty for a brutal high-low hit from Remi Ayodele and Bobby McCray that hurt Favre's ankle. He was able to finish the game, but the Saints won in overtime en route to the NFL title.

According to the NFL, Fujita "pledged a significant amount of money to the prohibited pay-for-performance/bounty pool during the 2009 NFL Playoffs when he played for the Saints."
Hargrove "actively participated in the program while a member of the Saints," the league said, adding that he "submitted a signed declaration to the league that established not only the existence of the program at the Saints, but also that he knew about and participated in it."

The NFL said that "multiple independent sources" said Smith "pledged significant sums to the program pool."

Yeah, try to dance out of this one, Fujita. Hypocrite serving on the NFLPA executive committee.

 

[Mrbob]

That pic will be a funny thing to look at after next season when Alshon ends up being the best WR taken in this draft.

With the Bears track record of developing excellent receivers, it's basically a lock.

Mike Tice is running the offense now, chump! What can go wrong?

He can creep on some more High Schoolers.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Wait why is Hargrove suspended?

I'm sad now. We needed that DE power.

But if he's a dirty cheater, good riddance.

8 games though? Ted should shoulder that. He shouldered Neal and he was pointless.

NFL Network guys said he played a big roll in obstructing the 2010 investigation.

[chuckddd]

After seeing the NFL’s decision letters, the NFLPA has still not received any detailed or specific evidence from the league of these specific players’ involvement in an alleged pay-to-injure program.

Who wrote this shit? Drew Breezy?

Because he's the Reciever Chicago deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll laugh at his weight, because he can take it. Because NFL-GAF is cruel. He's a silent eater. A protector of the cheesy gordita. A taco bell loving Josh Freeman clone .

Moving from ILB to SS. Wutt?

Rack City bitch. Rack Rack city, bitch

 

[Buckethead]

Nah we need him to play next to Bishop instead of that moron Hawk.

Hells yeah that'd be awesome.

 

[eznark]

Moving from ILB to SS. Wutt?

230 pound ILB...wuttttttttt

I think he'll eventually be moved to a safety/rover position in the 5 "LB" sets that Capers will play next year.

247?

Rack City bitch. Rack Rack city, bitch

We used to be friends.

No longer.

We are no longer friends.

 

[eznark]

247?

He was 237 at the combine but supposedly played about 10-15 pounds lighter at NCSt.

 

[TheLegendary]

230 pound ILB...wuttttttttt

Bishops listed weight is identical as the combine Manning.

Perry has to lose weight for his position as OLB, so no reason Manning cant gain/lose as needed if it's right in that range

 

[Buckethead]

He was 237 at the combine but supposedly played about 10-15 pounds lighter at NCSt.

Hmm.

It's not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[eznark]

Bishops listed weight is identical.

Yeah, I'm talking about his playing weight. The big knock on Manning was that teams didn't know if he would be able to put on weight to be a consistent edge rusher. He tried playing bigger last year at NCSt. and for whatever reason couldn't. If he played 10 pounds heavier he is probably drafted in the second. I don't know how much more motivation you'll get than that.

WEAKNESSES
Manning has a decent frame but could have trouble getting the same type of production as an edge rusher at 230 pounds in the NFL. He doesn't show the same burst when chasing down runs to the outside that he does in short areas in the backfield, and he will have trouble keeping faster runners inside. He is only average in both zone and man coverage, and he often looks stiff in his hips.

however I think the Packers took him for his speed and won't want him to add weight. I think he is going to be a situational joker on long yardage downs. He is a very good tackler who will be able to contribute on all downs eventually (hopefully).

 

[snesfreak]

Didnt 2 different devs that have worked with WiiU come out and say that it is actually only on par with current gen systems? And Nintnedo replied by saying they dont focus on specs. I am setting my expecttions really low with the WiiU and hoping to be surprised.

Well there were some anonymous quotes put out, but other devs have basically said that it's superior.
I mean, it's not gonna be a jump like this gen was.
But it's not gonna be like the Wii was, where they take a system they already had, increase the clockspeed, add a few functions, increase the ram and call it a day.
And we don't really know which dev kit they had at the time, also the middleware wasn't optimized for the system which I think was part of the reason for some of the "on par" quotes.
But there is one thing for sure, there WILL be games that look better than current gen.

Just saw that you caved in and bought the game, SNES. Glad you'll be able to finish now. Put me in the game somewhere, it's an RPG so there should be room for everyone!

Three years from now when I'm done you'll be in it :jnc.

I hope buckethead has the love story in the game.

RT @AdamSchefter: Class story of day: Buccaneers announced today that they signed former Rutgers DT Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed in 2010.

Awesome

Very awesome.

Really great move by Schiano and Tampa.

Tampa deserves the division.

I will now be rooting for the Bucs to win their division.

Good, goooooood.
