MCGINN---McMillen Wrong from the Start

[Patler]

Yes, but many of the ladder climbers are in admin not the football side, .....

Exactly my point. Do you think they don't hear rumors, stories, gossip?
Do you think they have as much concern about the "secrecy" for football issues as the football folks do?

Certainly and perhaps not. But my reaction to the piece was that it was from the personnel guys, not admin. Story seems too specific and the only admin guy in there is Murphy on draft day. Its not definitive as the source could fill in their own details (or McGinn could) but I would still put odds that it was the football guys sticking up for Ted.

However, your admin source would perfectly explain the overreaction to the "directive" by Ted and Mike to get less injured and tougher. Talking point/goal turned into iron clad dictat.

That is the interesting piece of this. As a fourth rounder, Iloka is described as makes the plays that come to him. Which is an improvement over our current players who create plays for the opposition from nothing.

But it also suggests why you risk the physical talent of a more unknown player. Go the safe route and get Marquand Manuel. Go the Bethune Cookman route and get an All Pro.

Speaking of Manuel, he's on the Seahawks coaching staff now.

Back to the real thread.

Mark Hatley died in June, 2004, after Sherman's final, disastrous 2004 draft. I have advanced the theory that the results of that draft (possibly observed by Hatley in an early OTA) directly led to Hatley's demise. You could even argue that the Good Lord did Hatley a favor, preventing him from having to observe Ahmad Carroll, Joey Thomas, and Donnell Washington all playing together in Packer uniforms in an NFL game.

Wait, wouldn't he be looking down from above and seeing all of them?

Probably not broadcast locally there. Sunday's are probably busy.

Now I'm getting really messed up. I thought heaven was watching the Packers all the time, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women (and Drew Barrymore as the star).

My understanding is that while it's possible to look down, it's not required

[Fritz]

Wouldn't you be looking down so you could see down Jessica's Simpson's top?

Jack Cosgrove runs a fine Division 1 FCS program for U Maine up in Orono (though I'll admit I don't follow it extremely closely). They are a perennial power in their league, which they won this year, and had a bye in the first round of the FCS playoffs (they lost to UNH yesterday). Considering how little talent comes out of Maine high schools that can play at that level, they are darned good.
Hockey's actually been down lately, which is why they fired their hockey coach Tim Whitehead last year.

OK then the Black Bears (hockey) are in a bit of a slump.

I'll check out their football program more when I get the time. Lots going on right now. I do have this for the forum;

Or when the germans bombed pearl harbor?

Note to self:

How could anyone mistake a German citizen (generally) for a Japanese citizen? Puzzleing.



Check your American history bobblehead.

Canadians learn American history in Junior High School to help forgo ignorance.

The German Luftwaffe didn't fly zero's nor bomb Pearl Harbour.

This is a Zero. Recognize it ... watch it closely. Then maybe? Google ..... Pearl Harbour.

I'm feeling helpful today:

Here'as a German male speaking on a video about the Japanese Zero / Zero pilot. Also look for Der Zerokiller Part's I and II.

Thanks...you've got me into one of my special interests. The history of WAR. Especially the two GREAT WARS WWI and WW II. Check this out:

So many ways to go at this, but I'll just say that context is everything.

Woody:

He's referencing the late, great John Belushi's line from Animal House.

It's kind of, like, you know, a joke. You know, funny.

and ...... here I thought I was helping to get him an 'A'.

Here's what I think:
The release of McMillian +
Burnett's inconsistent play +
Banjo's presence on the roster +
Richardson getting a lot of snaps his 2nd game back +
Jennings snaps getting cut =

TT knows he has a tire fire at S and will make some changes back there. He might even sign a cheap veteran to add competition in camp!

Yes.

When you have a big hole in your back yard that the kids could fall into and get hurt.

You must fill it in.
