As someone who recently had to see his father in a hospital bed (open heart surgery, he's ok now) that picture really hits hard. Hope Jim pulls through, an absolute all-time great.

Hospitals are the worst.

Feel for anyone who is ever stuck in hospital bed.

And the stories about the food being garbo are all true.

Book of Eli is one of my favorite settings in a movie. Love that world, makes me crave another Fallout. Watched The Road thanks to Godslay, another great movie as well in an amazing world.

Book of Eli is good. After Earth is based upon L Ron Hubbard's fiction, who was a bad writer, who created a bad cult, and who definitively proved that there is no hope for humanity long term since he convinced a bunch of people to worship him no matter how blatant his greed got. Can we really blame Whitta for collecting a paycheck?

Here at UNC Pro Day where TE Eric Ebron has registered three drops so ffar

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 6m
Gettleman said cutting Steve Smith was "a football decision," and expressed how difficult it was. Compared it to Babe Ruth getting cut.

#Panthers GM reminds nobody thought Giants WR Victor Cruz was going to be a star in 2011. He caught 82 passes for 1,536 yds.

Time for McNutt (Jerry Rice Jr.) to shine

Well at least you are. I'm old enough now that I can't escape said label when talking about a 19 year old.

Not just on the bubble. Fulham's in last place.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...-legitimate-chance-to-start-for-jets/6862253/

Michael Vick and Geno Smith will have a legitimate chance to emerge as the New York Jets' Week 1 starting quarterback, head coach Rex Ryan said Tuesday at the NFL annual meetings.

"It's going to be a really interesting competition to watch," Ryan said. "Geno Smith is going to be hard to beat out.''

Vick, who signed a one-year, $5-million deal Friday after the Jets released Mark Sanchez, will push Smith in an open competition this summer with each having the chance to secure the starting job.

"Will there be legitimate opportunities? Absolutely," Ryan said during Tuesday's AFC coaches breakfast. "In an ideal situation, they both earn the job. That's the way to do it and you can't go wrong in my opinion. Any competitor, you better want to be the starter at that position. Only one guy can be back there."

Most likely they were shopping him around. They didn't like the interest or compensation they would have received. Figured its better to roll with him (for at least another year) then to let him go for nothing.

I bet they still draft a WR somewhere early, like in the first 3 rounds. Won't be mad with that. This draft is supposed to be the best ever for WRs so why not take one? Desean is 27 and his game is all speed so once that goes, he goes. Maclin is coming off of two ACL tears and is only on a 1 year try out contract. Cooper is just someone who benefits from all the attention everyone else gets. Avant they already released. So with or without Desean WR seems like a likely pick early on.

This way if whoever they draft can emerge as a great WR, they can move Desean next year no matter what without worrying about WRs being a huge need.

I also assume Chip and the FO expect Ertz to be much much better in year 2 and overall they will utilize TEs (hopefully including Casey) much more.

If I had to be in a hospital other than for work. I would be at Keck ICU, the entire staff is good looking. Even the ones with short hair.

Gettleman used credit card analogy to describe mindset with increased cap number: "The smart thing is to pay it off, not max it out again."

Translation: We're not paying for Desean Jackson. Get that silly thought out of your heads Panthers fans

I got an appendectomy when I was fourteen, and my nurse was so hot, it hurt not to be take care of business due to the infection from my ruptured appendix leaving my entire groin feeling like I got hit by a truck. Plus I was in a hospital and jerking it there seemed unsavory. Wanted to bang so much.

Later afterwards I found out she was friends with my English teacher, who I also wanted to bang.

The hospital I work at doesn't have very many hot nurses. Our PAs are hot as fuck though.

Well recent revelations indicate DJAX is not going anywhere and that he spoke to Chip about it.

Let us hope so.

I do find it funny that GM's convince fans that spending money or signing players is somehow bad. You have to pay good players good money. Owners making billions and the GM convinces us we should worry about cap space and how much a WR is making? Good luck converting McNutt into a superstar. Carolina should have been smart and traded their 2nd round pick for DJAX. Him and Cam together would have been great.

Now? My boi Matt Ryan is coming to reclaim the NFC South.

But draft picks are cheap, and the draft has a 100% success rate. FA cant compare to that.

2nd round pick? lol lol lol

And as far as spending money, you can't spend it if you don't have it.

Unless Desean is taking a 50% pay cut, we don't have it.

I was under the impression you guys were one of the teams with room.

Oh well good that you don't have room.

DJAX was selected as a 2nd round pick and has played as a first rounder.
