I should know better than this. But I guess not. For those of you who think RLS is a bunch of crap, please get your facts straight. If you are somehow mistaking this for ADD, or anxiety, or too much stimulant, or whatever, all I ask is that you recognize it for what it is, a real disorder. At the VA I've dealt with many older vets with RLS, and it can make your life miserable. It's not ADD. It's not typically a childhood disease. It's a neurological disorder that can drive people crazy, disrupt their sleep, and get worse as they get older. We have no idea what causes it or how to treat it. Decreasing caffeine may help, and then again it may not. Some medications or supplements may help, and then again they may not. Exercise, massage, heating pads...some may help, most won't, and what works for one person probably won't work for the next. Check it out for yourself if you really want. I will be the first to agree with the point of this thread, that our society has moved inexorably toward masking underlying problems with more and more medications, and that's not good. And the real problem of ADD highlights this issue. But if you're going to trash RLS at least know what you're talking about first.

If you've ever seen a patient with Restless Legs Syndrome, you'd know why it's not inane.

Well, we will certainly need bodies on the line, whether it's as a starter or a backup. My guess is that he isn't expensive enough to cut and will probably be given the chance to fight for a starting position during camp. I thought he was painfully awful last year, but I'll admit that I didn't focus on him the latter part of the year (along with the rest of the team). So perhaps VA is right.

Wow, that's like saying I just heard something about some crazy port deal with the United Arab Emirates.

Even if a deal gets done, they're still going to have to contort like a circus actor to get under the new cap.

It only really makes sense if we can get him for less than his contract + EM's dead cap space if we release him.

Sorry, dude, but that is a prime example of how stats fail to tell the true story. I don't care how many sacks this defense had, our biggest weakness for some time has been the inability of our front four to generate pressure on the QB (not to mention their inability to stop the run last year as well).

Is she driving a Prius?

worseless?

Hmmm. I guess we can't just make it 58 and call it a day.

From NFL.com: $23.5 million? One player? All in one year?? Good thing I don't like Tennessee. They deserve it.

I doubt they'd bring him in, if this quote from the Buff News today is true: That certainly sounds like what Adams can do, so I'm guessing Sam was cut primarily for salary cap/personality issues. However, this does not sound like what Ted does.

I'm fine with that, as long as Keanu Reeves plays QB.

I wonder if, somewhere, TD is kicking back with a beer thinking, "Glad I don't have to deal with this mess right now." Personally, I'd like to see a new deal signed a few hours after those 200 players get released. I'd like a few more guards and tackles to choose from.

That is, as long as you can find a player who provides as much performance and who is actually cheaper.

This is going to be one hell of an offseason.

Didn't HBO's "Real Sports" just have a story similar to this about a month or two ago? Seemed like they were almost identical, except the one on the HBO show had somewhat more of a disability. But it was a similar theme; kid finally gets put on the court in the last game, and makes a three pointer after a couple of misses. For some reason, I recall the HBO one as actually more astounding that he actually made a basket. But they're both great stories.

Probably just trying to save money on airline fuel.

It's what I wanted to hear him say, so that's why I'm reserving judgement. If he thinks our line will improve by bringing in someone other than Sam, so be it. We'll see!

Well, last season everyone was beating on TD for releasing Pat Williams since it made our D-line a real weakness. I'll reserve judgement until the start of the season to see what our D-line is made of, but this should be interesting.

This is one of the main reasons I won't have kids.

I thought base salaries could only be cut by 30%?

Please...no more converting-small-LBs-To-Safety projects!

Has nothing to do with age. It's all about the money. If we could keep Moulds for a reasonable amount, we would. But he won't take a pay cut to do that. Somehow, I believe we could probably sign JJ for something less than $10 million. Not that I'm advocating that or anything.

Interesting. How do you see an attack on Japan playing out?
