[Tarlam!]

'kay, well, just don't click oin his links and you cannot be offended...

[Rastak]

I'm not in a war with him I would just appreciate if he didn't post that kind of stuff anymore.I know it was a joke but it wasn't a very good one.

Let me say this, I would never click a link HH posted...you'd do well to do the same, as Tarlam mentioned...LOL.....

wausaupackerpro42 ??? Maybe, your not old enough to follow this?

Try to relax , and why is it that the offended goes on to be the offender? We all here have got your side of it after 10 posts. Your beginning to drool. LOL

RELAX wausaupackerpro42 - PLEASE. Is that working on YOU.

Gooood. Thatsanice.

Firstly. Harlan isn't anyone - that any of us here can pin down easily and most of us are more skilled in life than you'll (maybe be) in double your present age. You were just born 16 years ago.

Secondly You have to learn to deal with all types on a forum. You havn't encountered the bad ass's I have sonny bunch. Absolute creepo's that will stalk you on a forum (literally) and even evade your privacy with rotten flaming E-mail's - till you will loose sleep.

People that will make your life a bloody HELL. Let go of "this chant".

Also consider this wausaupackerpro42:

Never go to war - if you've never been to war.

Good advice for YOU, wausaupackerpro42. Let it go !

K !

Woodbuck, permission to steal this line for a signature? Haven't seen it put better in a long time.

And I second Harvey's admonition that draft picks CANNOT hold out, as they have no contractual obligation to report. Even profootballtalk had this wrong on their usually precise site

And I am longing for the day when people will be more concerned in their signatures about first downs allowed than total number of tackles. Show me a team that has league leaders in tackles and I will show you a mediocre defense. Show me a team that allows the fewest first downs, I will show you the next NFC champs.

I bet ya anything that Hawk was pissed at his agent who was probably assuring him over and over again that he would have the deal done by the start of camp. But, Hawkcouldn't have showed upfor practice . I mean, look what happened to LeCharles Bentley in Cleveland. If Hawk would have came to practice and had a serious injury, he would have been "up shit creek without a wooden device to help propel him through the muck" (or something like that). In other words, he was "between a rock and a not so soft place", I mean, really, "his hands were placed together tightly with a rope-like substrate", if you get my drift.

He isn't allowed to practice without a contract..so it's kinda moot (or mute for those that don't know the difference between moot and mute).

"holdout" is often used to describe a player who misses camp without signing a contract. I was looking at articles on the web. Useage is what defines a word.

Gotta side with the others on this one HH. I think the mainstream media has it all wrong on this one. You can't hold out if you aren't even on the friggen team.

Well, when you're drafted by a team, you are bound to that team.

Here's a formal definition: "a negotiator who hopes to gain concessions by refusing to come to terms" (I found similar definitions by googling) By this definition, a person still in process of negotiating a contract fits exactly.

It really is a case of usage. And far as I can see on the web, "holdout" is used for players with and without contracts. Reggie Bush was referred to as a "holdout" in most of the headlines before he signed.

Actually you can sit out without ever signing and the team loses your rights.
I think most headlines were wrong on this one...I guess we're arguing semantics here so I'll stop. I think we both know what the situation is, we just disagree on how it is reported.

[Harlan Huckleby]

sorry Rastak, but my blood is starting to boil. Gotta keep up the fight.

I think the headline writers got it right by the dictionary. And even if they were wrong, they are still right, since common useage trumps Webster.
