We need to lure Oofda and Delaware over here.
Not really sure what Oofda bait looks like.
Any ideas?

I could email them. I sent emails to a few folks to let them know we were here. Even got Chim Ritchels (the Lions fan) to swing by one day.

I like Oofda, and he also annoys five.
I’d call it a win/win.

I started rewatching the show from the beginning a month or so ago. I watch an episode or two every day or so. I think I’m season 3. I’ll probably watch an episode or two.

Dalvin Cook is one of the best in the league, but he is injury prone, and there is no way that the team is going to let him play out his contract as-is. Therefore, they’ll either have to restructure one of Rick’s messes of a contract, or find a way to move on. If they do move on, we need to start looking at options for restocking the cupboard. Even if you keep Mattison, you need another stud RB to go along with him. Unless you think we currently have that stud on the roster, we’ll need to draft someone. Here are some options:

Well, if they’re all number 2, we’d better look elsewhere.

Dalvin’s contract:

  • This year, his cap hit is ~$11.8 million, $17.7 million in dead cap.
  • Next year, his cap hit is ~$14.1 million, $6.2 million dead cap (if we cut/trade after 6/1/2023, the dead cap hit could be spread between 2023 & 24, so $3.1 million each year instead of the full $6.2 in 2023)
  • 2024, his cap hit is $15.6 million (fucking yikes) with $3.1 million in dead cap. Not a snowball’s chance in the pit of hades that he’s still under contract for that year.

The guy really effed this team up with the contracts he signed. IMO, he got markedly worse after 2017.

Young, short, fast, and built like a brick S*house is what a RB should be.

So thankful to hear you are okay. I second Pete, 10 inches of rain would make things mighty soupy out here in the prairies.

Kirk is usually less ass-like in October and November.

I’d be okay with that if we could eliminate the December shitting of the bed. I can handle a slow start, but slow finishes are bad.
