who really cares?  I only put this part of the article in here to make it somewhat Panther related.   But I love the weekly Kissing Suzy Kolber re-takes on MMQB articles.  The hatred is like a good cup of coffee.

Here is the part on the game tonight, at very end of article;  bolded by mmqb, remarks by ksk

 

 Who I Like Tonight

Philadelphia 23, Carolina 16. Funny how all the focus in this game is whether Mark Sanchez can play competently enough for the Eagles to win. I wonder if Cam Newton (last three games: 48.1 percent completions, one touchdown pass) can.

Goddamn, that’s cold-hearted, Peter. I was less appalled when you were poo-talking the troops. At least then you didn’t tell them they’re worse than Sanchez.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the part that had me smiling;

 

10. I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week:

e. Do these Navy SEALS take a vow of silence about what they do on their missions? If so, what kind of people trained to do some of the most important work our country can do break that vow and go yapping for money, as these apparent bin Laden triggermen are doing?

YEAH fug YOU, GUY WHO KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN!

Seriously, they killed an international terrorist and (don’t tell Pete Carroll) plotter of 9/11 who the US had been aggressively seeking for nearly a decade. They put their lives on the line to do so, for a country that doesn’t have the best record of taking care of its veterans. And you, a completely societally useless beer gut in a suit, who makes millions concealing the NFL’s lies about domestic violence, wants to cast aspersions on them because they’re making some money off of it? Eat poo and die, Peter King. fug you and your disdain of anyone who isn’t ownership or authority.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
