With regards to the Cutler situation

no news is probably good news. It’s interesting how the “source close to Cutler” has dried up in the wake of Styg’s article and the follow-on media coverage. The pot stirrer caught in the spotlight! Could it be that MHR has actually played a role in resolving the situation? Life is stranger than fiction.

Nice call Spock...

Isnt it interseting that when the DP could be out doing spot lights on our new players, how team sessions are going etc that they do ABSOLUTELY nothing and basically have now resorted to a newspaper that is up there with the National Enquirer as a paper that peddles rumors than actually reports on real stories.
Possibly the worst newspaper ever.
PLEASE BRING BACK RMN….man I miss Legwold and Raziser. Trade Klis and Jones and get them out and bring in Jeff and Lee!

Must-Read

I saw the Jeff George article on Pro Football Talk yesterday afternoon. It’s an absolute must-read. I’m left to wonder what that guy smokes that fills his head full of his crazy ideas.
