It seems like it will be exciting and wild to have so many players be cut in 10 days and become available all at once. If no team makes early cuts then 32 teams cut 37 players = 1184 guys! Do the Giants want anything at this stage?

I have been away from the board so I'm wondering how Deonte Banks is doing, thanks!

Does it make sense to do some practice under the same expected conditions or do the players ignore such things once the game begins?

What do you see in this regard? Maybe we can pressure their QB but may be weak against the pass?

He wasn't on the injured list.

Just entertaining thoughts while watching the end of college football.

Poll "draft dreams" will have later parts # 2 what would YOU draft and  maybe more.

Temps still in upper 40's but raining. NOAA forecast says it will get cold too.

"Tonight: Showers likely, mainly before midnight. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 34. South wind 9 to 15 mph becoming west. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible."

Run the ball well, stop the run...make some passing plays...pray...

'Ya know, I'm getting bombarded by multimedia sources with campaign ads. ROBO phone calls ( they're allowed), mailboxes (digital and physical) packed, Television commercials ( They approved this crap ?) radio and billions of roadside signs...and more.
Funny (not really) thing is, they all stink (almost) since they don't address issues of import. My overriding thought in most (not all) cases...IS THIS THE BEST AMERICA HAS TO OFFER?
Thank you for listening...send all contributions in cash to PO box XXXX.
I approve of this message!

I was thinking about what to do about Danny Ware and hating to part with anyone on the roster, which led to the idea of "hiding" someone. In the old days there was talk of teams stashing players to keep them for themselves and I wondered if it could still be done. If the plkayer wished to stay with his team, he could become unavailable for contact until he was reinstated. What do you think?

Does this seem to be true as the origin of the term?


"From the Wikipedia Entry on Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride, founder on the Cleveland Browns.... reference the 4th paragraph below:

Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride (20 March 1888-10 November 1972) was the founder of the Cleveland Browns professional football team. McBride was a wealthy businessman who made a fortune investing in and operating real estate holdings in Chicago, Cleveland and Florida, in taxicab companies in Cleveland, Akron and Canton, Ohio, in a printing company, and in a horse-racing news wire syndicate, before taking an interest in the fledgling sport of professional football.

McBride became a rabid football fan in 1940 after taking in a college football game at the University of Notre Dame where McBride's son was a student. After Dan Reeves rejected his 1942 offer to buy the NFL's Cleveland Rams, in 1944 McBride became involved in Arch Ward's newly created All-America Football Conference.

McBride aggressively promoted his new team and spared no expense. He hired Paul Brown when Brown was still coaching at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station during World War II, paying Brown $20,000 per year plus 15% of the profits, plus $1,000 per month until the end of the war.

McBride contributed to the lexicon of football with the term "taxi squad." Browns' players who were not on the active roster, due to injury or other reason, were temporarily put on the McBride's payroll as taxi drivers."
