The official "Although We've Come to the End of the Road" Thread (Cats-Birds 1/2/11)

I'm not done with 89.

 

Was this the pregame radio?

 

i didn't see the him and mick thang.
i can't blame him.
its not like we don't need him.

 

me either.



Regarding Fox's $6.5 mil - calling it annually isn't correct, I don't believe. This was an escalating year, not unlike how Peppers didn't make $14 mil annually (though lately...). I doubt coach salaries come with the up-and-down money players get:
example being a guy like Smith, just numbers I'll make up since gametime is coming. Let's say he signs a 5 year $30 mil deal, the high signing bonus means almost no salary early. It goes up from there.

So while Fox wanted more, definitely, and in a way JR is very warranted to say "I want consistency", and then never gets it? I can understand where everyone's coming from. Fox did enough to stay in 09, but not enough to get $7 mil plus annually.

 

the #1 seed versus the #1 pick




God this is gonna suck

 

bottom lime (imho)

 

there's something crazy about the end of a failed year. When you can watch a team all year, scout their draft picks, pour over their roster decisions constantly, and make it to the end of the year to a cut scene where they show some random guy in uniform, and I'm like, "who the fuck is that?"



Also, fuck Mike Smith. I hate this fucking franchise.

 

The Panthers could at least make it look like they aren't trying to lose so they get the number one pick. Sitting Smitty makes it a bit obvious.

 

No shit. Everytime I see that fucking commerical with all those cocksuckers on the bus bobbing their heads I wish I had about 10 pounds of C4 on that bitch and could push the fucking button... 5 pounds strapped to Mike Smith and 5 pounds strapped to Arthur Blank.

Boom....

 

Games going about as expected.
