Pre-Draft Lull

The first round of the 2014 NFL Draft is a little more than two weeks away (17 days to be exact) so if you're going around the internet looking for football news, you may want to give it a rest for a while.

 

The last few weeks before the draft don't generally see a lot of action in free agency.  So outside of draft day speculation or some unexpected scandal/arrest, pro football news may be kinda hard to come by for the next sixteen days.

 

Granted the draftniks may have a fair share of fodder for discussion.  But if that's not your thing, these next few weeks are likely to drag.

I think it was Mark Twain who used to talk about there being "liars, damn liars and statisticians".

 

These days, I'd add NFL personnel guys to that list.

 

I believe that came from a former Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The Calm

The S--t Storm

 

...if Gettleman makes picks Huddlers don't like.

 

 

Normally the draft would have either been this past weekend or next weekend.  But this extra 2 weeks is killing me.

 

Overall I think moving it back was a good idea, but right now...yeah :(

More time to learn about players. I'm going to take advantage. I'm starting to think this L'Damian Washington kid out of Mizzou might be a nice 6th or 7th round snag. I want a lot of competition at receiver and we need more size.

"This is definitely a receiver with a chance to be very good in a few years, especially if he lands with a team ...like the Panthers"

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
