You ever bang anyone in the food storage area?

We didn't really have a food storage area at the corporate offices...well they had an R&D building that had some probably.

But no, I was married at the time.

I will stick to chicken from now on.

Generally chicken is always safe as the only thing you have to worry about usually is whether or not it's properly cooked. They don't exactly grade chicken but sometimes they will mix it with chicken skins, organs, and other junk. Sooooo yeah.

Down with getting rid of OT in preseason.

What's you guys' opinion on drafting to fill a need versus BPA?
Click to expand...

I lean more towards BPA depending on how much you can get by without filling that "need". A lot of it is based on the situation. Ultimately you don't want to "reach" for a mediocre player when there is elite talent available just because you are filling a need.

Maurice Jones Drew meeting with the Steelers? I think he has some gas left in the tank, but I don't think he's capable of succeeding behind a terrible line, and our line ain't that much better than the Jaguars...

#Redskins have proposed that active game day rosters be raised from 46 to 49 players for games played on days other than Sunday or Monday
Click to expand...

I hope this rule passes.

#Redskins also propose allowing any player to return from IR after 6 weeks, not just one player per team.

And this too. Good job, Redskins.

Redskins propose allowing players to be traded before the start of the league year.

And this!

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...committee-announces-new-rule-bylaw-proposals/

The NFL Competition Committee announced 13 new rule proposals, seven new bylaw proposals and one proposed resolution on a conference call on Wednesday. The NFL’s owners will vote at next week’s league meeting on the potential changes, which we detail below.

Rule change proposals:

1. Move the kickoff to the 40-yard line.

2. Expand instant replay to include personal foul penalties.

3. Eliminate overtime in the preseason.

4. Extend the goal posts an additional five feet above the cross bar.

5. Move the line of scrimmage for extra points to the defensive team’s 25-yard line.

6. Put six cameras on all boundary lines — sideline, goal line, end line, to guarantee coverage for replay reviews.

7. Permit a coach to challenge any official’s decision, except scoring plays which are automatically reviewed.

8. Protect players from getting the sides of their legs rolled up on — the rule already says a blocker can’t hit an opponent in the back of the legs, this proposal will add “or side” to the rule.

9. Allow the referee to consult with members of the NFL officiating department during replay reviews. The referee would be able to speak with the command center in New York to help in reviewing a play.

10. Re-organize the rules about what can be reviewed and what cannot be reviewed, including making the recovery of a loose ball in the field of play reviewable. (This is referred to as the NaVorro Bowman rule, after a controversial call in the NFC Championship Game.)

11. Don’t stop the clock on a sack.

12. Modify pass interference so that it can be called within one yard of the line of scrimmage.

13. Enforce defensive fouls behind the line of scrimmage from the previous spot, rather than from the end of the run or from the spot of the foul.

Bylaw proposals:

1. Raise the number of active players on game day from 46 to 49 for regular-season games played on a day other than Sunday or Monday, excluding Week One.

2. Raise the practice squad limit from eight players to 10 players.

3. Permit clubs to trade players prior to the start of the league year.

4. Eliminate the cut-down to 75 players during training camp and instead just have one cut-down from 90 players to 53 players.

5. Permit more than one player to return to the active list from injured reserve so that any player on injured reserve could return after six weeks.

6. Permit each club to time and test up to 10 players at its facility, and allow other clubs to attend timing and testing at another team’s facility.

7. Adjust the time of the roster reduction from 53 after the fourth preseason game from 6 p.m. Eastern to 4 p.m. Eastern. All teams would have to have their list of final cuts in by 4 p.m.

Resolution proposal:

1. Permit a home team with a retractable roof to open or close its roof at halftime, instead of having to determine at the start of the game whether it is open or closed.

Wake?

"@ckparrot: Cam Wake is being humble and I like that but he's the best pass rusher in the league. And one of the best in NFL history."

"@ckparrot: Think I was joking about Wake being among best ever? Think again. No 4-3 DE from 2008-13 has a higher career pressure pctg than Wake. None."

Of Course.

30. Raiders
Tough to gauge what's happening in Raiderland right now. Oh, there's been some activity.- ... But has it been conducive to rebuilding the club? GM Reggie Mckenzie let some young players walk ( Lamarr Houston and Jared Veldheer) because he didn't want to pay their market price. That's OK. But signing Donald Penn and Justin Tuck? James Jones could work out, but the thought here is probably not too much different than what Raider fans are thinking. ... With $70 million to spend, is this -- Jones, Tuck an unproductive LaMarr Woodley, 30-year old Kevin Boothe and Tarell Brown -- the best this team could do?

I thought he was washed out? Anyway, liked his tenacity back on the Titans, but he was a bit of a dick.
