You want to complain about people putting a tiny laptop bag in the overhead bin on a plane, instead of under the seat too?

I do wonder who they’ll pick up when the inevitable injury occurs. The castoff from Oakland? and the parallel with the Jets is interesting. Both brought in a free agent but then wound up going only with their in house options.

Upgraded on the plane to seats with free booze!

I've only looked at the still shot in Charlie's post, but I had no idea that was Ali. I'm trying to figure out why, but all I can come up with is the hair.

Except for the part about being surrounded by people from Boston... but hey, you've gotta do what you've gotta do Edit: And on top of that, one of the oddities of Fenway is that so many of the seats don't actually face the game. But with the stage in centerfield, my seats will actually face the perfect direction for the first time ever!

I'm flying up to Boston tonight to see Pearl Jam at Fenway on sunday.

They have distribution in Charlotte so they’re all over the state. I should be safe for a long time.

Let's ignore for a second who likes what. I currently have a supply of one in the house, but not of the other. That pretty much answers your question in the form of a letter. I see what you did there.

The wife is out and I need to find something too. Thanks to this thread, I will now be grilling up a couple Sahlen's.

Weber's

And then there's mustard in a jar. You need to use something to spread it.

The old chevy car?

They'll just have to sign less guys to ECHL contracts for Cincy. It doesn't look like there were all that many guys on that team last year who had AHL-level deals.

That's a fun little auto-correct right there. I can't count the number of times I've hit the space bar twice instead of hitting a B or a C.

Does the league not have a first round of cuts anymore? I have no clue who any of these guys are, but for some reason I always enjoyed reading about multiple rounds of cuts.

Why does an offensive tackle play on the outside of the line while a defensive tackle is on the inside? And why is it that center and guard are very descriptive of those two positions, but then the tackle position is so horribly named?

A fire station I drive by every day put out a digital sign board with the message "Don't be a victim". One slight problem though, the word "don't" slowly blinks. So as I first spotted the sign, it said "be a victim".

It's another thing I wish teams would stick to with their jerseys. Along with the bright colors, they're fairly simple.

From the descriptions in this thread, I'm picturing Allen on his back with his feet in the air, going through the last couple steps that they've been programming into him... sacked before he even had the time to finish dropping back. Starting him sounds like a David Carr waiting to happen.

The thought of a team wearing a jersey from a previous location always feels a bit odd to me. It seems like a slap in the face to the fans from that previous city. They've been talking around here a lot lately about using the Whaler jersey and even playing a preseason game in Hartford. How could the people up there actually want any part of that?

That's too bad. I've never got that warning once before and I get a ton of spam calls. A scammer with a sense of humor would have been a nice change of pace.

I just got a phone call where the caller ID said “Potential Spam”. Does the iPhone actually do this or did I just get a scammer with a sense of humor?

I’m too lazy too look it up did Wilson get less than his qualifying offer would have had to have been? I have a hard time imagining that arbitration was a serious concern with either guy, especially zero NHL experience-Antipin

The qualifying offer itself could be a two-way deal, so that wouldn't be something that would stop the team from qualifying him.

I'd be curious to see who your list is. My guess is that most, if not all of them will have signed that long term deal before they hit that 28/29 age.
