2008 Point & Laugh at the skins thread

I really, really dislike you.

ATV has built up a very lofty reputation with only 20 posts.  Imagine if he was a regular.

[Munson]

He is a regular. When the taterskins somehow get lucky and win a game, he's regularly here. When they get their asses handed to them, especially by the Eagles, he's regularly absent.

There's no way that's an accurate post count for him.  No one can establish such a supreme level of douche baggery in that short amount of time.

Perhaps Lil danni has just figured out this game better than everyone else. They always have money to sign whoever they want.
If he could actually identify quality players instead of over-the-hills they would be dangerous.

Wow, that's just bullshtein....

FOXSports.com has learned Washington converted an $11 million roster bonus Cooley was scheduled to receive into guaranteed money. The move is believed to have lowered Cooley's 2008 cap number from a team-high $12.2 million to $4.4 million.

So, they get to prorate the roster bonus by keeping him on the roster?  How is it "converting it to guaranteed money" if he was guaranteed to get it anyway?  The NFL is a joke.

[methdeez]

They are just abstract rules, man.
Don't get upset.

[Cerevant]

They are farging with a technicality - why wouldn't every team convert roster bonuses to "guaranteed money" so they could pro-rate the cap hit?  Hell, they could probably "restructure" every couple weeks, progressively converting the player's salary to guaranteed money, except that they wouldn't need the cap space.

It just doesn't make sense.

Teams do this regularly. Last year the Eagles were almost over cap and didn't have enough space to sign Curtis. Herremans, R Brown, T Cole, and Patterson together created almost $18 million by converting roster bonuses into signing boni.

That's one reason why I'm not hopeful of any more than maybe one significant off season signing, because they already borrowed against future years in '07.

From The Star-Ledger (Newark, NJ) this morning:

"The taterskins have managed the salary cap poorly and don't expect CB Carlos Rogers (knee) back until September or October. But they have a new coach! And Jim Zorn says he'll use a Slip 'N Slide during preseason to help teach his QBs how to slide. Can you imagine Jason Campbell's level of anticipation? More on this as the year progresses. We promise."
