I got it, I was just being sarcastic. I guess I don't do it well.

So, everyone staying up till 11:30 to see if have any big splashes or a few middle splashes right out of the starting gate? guess I will.

[gunslinger57]

Yeah I'll stay up for a while. I don't have work tomorrow so I'll see what happens for the first couple of hours.

Can I just be the well paid guy who's job is to just hang out and watch practices, and be in the warroom on draft day. Maybe sit in the back for a couple film sessions. Kind of like Dan Reeves consultant gig...without the experience or the ability to offer any kind of usefull insight.

...hell I wouldn't even need to be well paid. A cot to sleep on at the stadium and the leftovers from the buffet would probably do it.

I'll be the offensive and defensive line dietician.

"No, you can not just look at the menu and say, 'OK!'"

Yeah, I'll be up late for sure.

Thanks to BattleRedBlog.com for joining me in fantasy-time on Julius Peppers. A sister site of theirs, catscratchreader.com, reacts to the posting here.

The writer's thoughts:

I admit my postulation that Julius Peppers might end up in Miami was a shear guess based on little information. Yet the Dolphin fans quickly pointed out that such a trade is not a Bill Parcels type of move. The subsequent analysis focused on the Eagles as a potential landing place was not based on much more. ...

The fact Peppers is familiar with and likes Houston makes sense. Ever since Peppers off-season revelation that he wants to leave I've had the impression that he already had an idea of where he wanted to go. Why would he be so adamant about leaving when he doesn't know if it's a better situation for him (or does he?) With his agent located in Houston you would imagine he has a close relationship with the Texans ownership (though I'm not suggesting tampering, but some might...). Again, this postulation makes more sense than anything I've read or heard to date.

Especially with word that the Texans might be interested in Antonio Smith, a pursuit of Peppers seems and remains pretty unlikely, but still fun to think about nonetheless.

Oh, and both sites are running polls on whether a trade for Peppers including the Texans' 1st, 3rd, and 6th rounders would be worthwhile. The results? As of this posting, on the Panthers site, 80% would take the picks. On BRB, 61% wouldn't make the trade.

A 1st, 3rd, and 6th on top of a new contract is kinda steep. The way Rick and Gary have drafted, I'd rather take my chances in the draft. We're not at the point where we can give up multiple picks just to get one player who might "put us over the top".

I agree. I would do it for a 1st and a sixth...especially since the players around fifteen don't seem all that great to me I would be more willing to give up that pick.

How about a 1 and a 4 (no 3 or 6 involved) since we seem to have an extra now?

Head of Scouting thank you, but I thought I would get Bob's job by now

We could make up a really important sounding title for you if it would help...but you don't get a raise.

See, I'm a perfect consultant.

They where going to pay me too!


I just want into the room, and I will eat the leftovers from the buffet. Get me into the room.... Sorry I went on a rant.

And what do i have to do to leap frog Bob on the this corporate chart? I needs to know so I can work on my alibi, er I mean my plan.

Compromising photographs (I'm guessing Bob in a Cowboys jersey) and possibly either A) a bathtub full of sulphuric acid; or B) a shovel and a conveniently located desert

I heard Bob thinks Jared Allen is a fine upstanding you man who would never deliver a late hit to a QB, secretly wishes Al Davis owned the Texans, AND has a closet full of Cowboy's jerseys...Including a pink Romo jersey that he likes to wear with a blond wig.

Bob, I am so sorry I got this line of thought going, but papabear has one active imagination. This made me laugh out load. Blond wig.....

[Nconroe]

Yes, this is the owner, I appreciate humor, and I think it is good to brainstorm different opinions in a friendly way. I think atleast 10 of you should be called the Monday morning Fan feedback team(MMFFT for short), and get to eat all the left oves you want. If you go public with any info, you are off the team. My door is always open so come on by. And this is just a joke just in case someone didn't catch that yet.

I'm sure Bob isn't like that at all. Especially the Cowboys gear...not sure about the wig though.

Now he might still have some Texas Rangers gear hiding in the closet, something Nolan Ryan at the very least. We'll tie him Dallas some how...

You know the wig is not as disturbing as the black pumps...

Sorry, I can't help myself. I'll stop.
