Top 3 LD: Slavin @ $5.3M, Skjei @ $5.25M and Gardiner @ $4.05 Top 3 RD: Pesce @ $4.02M, Cole @ $2.9M and Bear @ $2M Brady Skjei, as much as I like the guy, isn't worth his salary. Nor is Gardiner, but you can't lose them both, and Gardiner is probably Weddel and RBA's choice to go. Tarasenko is under contract, regardless, @ $7.5M. The roster is still 2 players short and there's $4M of cap space available. But, looking forward, are Necas and Lorentz the 2 guys ready to step into the shoes of Vinny Trocheck and Nino? There's little doubt that Necas is ready, but Lorentz is still a couple years away. Nonetheless, I can still see the roster without Vinny or Nino at some point. I don't think Fast is going anywhere unless it's a good trade. He's a bargain at $2M. So, here's the challenge- Show me your best #2, 3 and 4 lines of forwards only (we know Aho & Svech are the 1's) and what those lines look like without either Trocheck or Nino.

If this is the starting O-line, Darnold won't make it thru the season uninjured. It's garbage against the Steelers #2's.

I think Gardiner is the odd man out and will either get dumped or LTIR. A C/RW He's at $4M and the Canes are loaded on the left side of the blue line. Brendan Smith and Ian Cole can play either side, so the roster has 5 LDs right now. I also think Tarasenko is the play as Eichel is simply too costly. How long does riding the Jordan Staal horse go on? I also think Ryan Donato and Kyle Palmieri are really good players for their respective price tags.

I'll provide the same effort in crafting this response as the Panthers did playing Saturday night.... Meh.

Yep, I can see it coming already. On the other hand, nobody is going to lose a toe, feet, fingers or hands mowing or weedeating.

I think I've watched just about every season of this series until now. In the 25 years since the Panthers clubbed the Cowboys in the Division playoffs in January 1997, the Cowboys have won exactly 3 playoff games, while losing 9 others.... in 25 years.... They are irrelevant at this point.

The problem with Red wolves is the species originated in Texas, was decimated to the point of near extinction by fugging idiots who thought they were coyotes and the few remaining were moved to Eastern NC, where they're being bred back into some semblance of a population. There are currently about 20-25 red wolves living on their own in NC. The US Fish & Wildlife Service has historically mismanaged the regulation of hunting and maintaining the species to the point the Southern Environmental Law Center has been fighting the legal battles on the wolves behalf. They are a beautiful animal not befitting of the fugging Washington football organization.

Lack of athleticism was quoted by the Saint's web site. Truth is, he was so used to getting burned, he carried a tube of aloe vera in his jock.....

Saints cut Prince Amakamura...hmmm... wonder what's up with him, a seasoned vet couldn't get thru the first game?

This completes the rebuild. Superb Owl.

Per NFL.com:

If anyone cares, the latest The Golden Calf of Bristol experiment failed yet again. He was cut by the Jags.

3rd down and 2.... 3rd down and 7.... 3rd down and 12..... 3rd down and 17.....

Before my last move, the wife and I had a weekend long yard sale with everything we weren't taking with us. Made a couple grand and on the following Monday, called my friends who ran the local animal rescue (they operate a small consignment/resale store of used stuff to help fund the rescue) and they sent a truck to pick up everything we left them as donation.

Was probably fighting for a nickel or dime CB position. I fugging hate when any player on any team gets injured during preseason.

It was a bit awkward at times, but you gotta remember he's got producers and stat guys chirping in his ear while he's trying to talk. But, he does need to let go of the tired and mundane analogies, metaphores and cliches- he did stumble thru several of those. But I love his honesty and there's nothing more refreshing than to have someone who knows these guys and came from this organization who'll tell it like it is. The only disagreement I have- Grier is a bust. Made a couple good throws yesterday, but it was a preseason game and it doesn't make up for the nothing he's done for a couple years now.

I'd settle for any Pittsburgh O-line in the last 20 years, since this was the team that wanted to build itself like the Steelers...

Calm down. Relax. There are a lot of reasons those Panther teams didn't succeed, the least of which was Cam- I'm well aware. But adding his bust to a second tier Mt. Rushmore that includes Aikman, Young and Warner? C'mon, man.

I haven't moved myself since 1982. Pay a moving company. One of my best moves- 1992 just before I retired from the Navy when they asked where I wanted to go, I told them NC. So, they pack up everything I own in San Diego and tell me it'll be 10 days before it gets to NC. Best 10-day cross-country road trip ever. Just me, my car, some clothes & stuff and my bike. Back in the days of road maps and $19.95 rooms at a clean Motel 6.

Oh, I thought this was one of those "Which of these does not belong" games where we see 3 guys with Super Bowl rings and one who has none. Look, I enjoyed Cam's athleticism as much as anyone, but to stand him up to 3 guys with a total of 7 Super Bowl wins among them and try to make any comparison is stupid. Does that yardage total surpassing these guys get him a ring? Big trophy? Dan Marino and Fran Tarkenton threw it all over the lot, too, but what most people know is they never won the Lombardi Trophy; not how many yards they threw for.

Oh, and I'm in this somewhere.... filmed onboard the USS Missouri at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in June 1989. I pulled rank, drove up to LB and was in the crowd somewhere.

"...outside of sports here in Raleigh." Taken at face value, he's been hired elsewhere in Raleigh, and it's not in the sports industry. Can't read too much into it and we'll never be sure if it was the Canes or NHL, who maintains a stranglehold on team websites and really limits content.

https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2190143/2022-stanley-cup-odds-teams-to-buy-sell-following-chaotic-offseason It's hard to imagine why a team as close to Cup contention as the Hurricanes would choose to go the route they did this offseason. Letting Dougie Hamilton go was understandable - as good as he is, they couldn't come close to matching what he got from New Jersey - but the 180-degree pivot Carolina took in net remains one of the most puzzling offseason storylines. Why the Hurricanes are paying virtually the same annual salary for Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta over Alex Nedeljkovic and Petr Mrazek - who were superb for them last season - remains a mystery. Andersen, who'll be 32 when the season starts, is coming off the two worst campaigns of his career and was limited to just 24 games last season due to injury. The 32-year-old Raanta, meanwhile, has only played 57 games over the last three years. ------------------------------------------------ My sentiments exactly.

FIFY.
