Sirius training camp tour at Wofford


Kettle

Recommended Posts

Aug 9 at 3 pm Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan will do their show from Wofford.

This link will take you to the page with the tour schedule if you are interested in other teams. There is also a link in the upper right of the page to start a free 3 day online trial.

If you can't make it to the camp, like myself, this is a great way to experience at least some of it. Expect interviews with players and coaches, and for those who can make it, Tim and Pat will likely field questions from the audience.

do you use the phone app, or do you have a radio? i listen in my truck, online in the office and use a boombox when at home. thinking of getting a droid though in the future, and am curious about how good the stream is. Is it good enough to replace the radio if I dock the phone in my truck?

The stream is fine but the speakers on the droid aren't. I haven't tried plugging in some auxilary speakers to the droid or docking it so it may be fine. But my radio is hooked into the car stereo system which has Bose speakers so I can't see changing that.. I would think that as long as phone reception is good in your area so will the stream. I suspect that satellite goes in some places that cellphones don't. But then again satelittes don't go indoors or in tree cover like cellphones do either.

I listen to T Rock and Kirwin regularly so I might head down to Panther camp that day.

my truck has bose too. i was thinking if i had the droid i could use the tape deck to play through. i never use it or the cd. or you could use the aux jack if your head unit has one.

This statement is absolutely on the money. Now I'll be working..so please hook it up with a nice recap.

if you're lucky...someone else might do it. i'll be working, but with a computer in the background streaming the broadcast.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • 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.
    • 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.
