Funny thing, I was high, extremly high when I started watching that show at the Army hospital on a drip line of morphine.

I think we will survive the WS 4 game suspension. By the way, has that been determined to be final?

I don't believe it's official, but it's more than likely it will happen. I'm guessing they need to settle the lockout stuff before the ruling comes down.

Here's a recent article on the matter.

Front seven will hinge our success. We've all heard it before: 1) better pass rush, and 2) improved run stop. Locks: Smith, Charleston, Ellis, Jordan, Ayodele, Vilma, Shanle, MMitchell, Wilson. Romeus=IR or PUP. Everyone else is a free for all cage match - last men standing after signing a FA or two just to make the cage match even more interesting.

No matter how I look at it Will Smiths absence in the first part of the season could really affect our chances to win early in the season. We can get by, but we worked so hard this off season to address the defensive front and we have to start off with a key piece missing.
I'm hoping that a couple of our rookies can be hidden on the practice squad or possibly IR them so we know they will be good for next year. Some of these second year players could make up for missing a number one draft pick next year.
