I did not know that bees had knees!!!! Hmmm..........
Anyway, Romo still amazes me. I mean, it amazes me how he stays on the field???

So a popularity contest amongst sports writers should determine the value of the player?

People,
the reality is, NO ONE knows what really is going on, other than Brees, Loomis, and Condon. Who here knows things like the actual structure of the contract, or if there would be any ramifications stemming from lawsuits and petitions for injunctions by suspended players and what happens to the salary cap should the suspended players be allowed to return, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

Stop listening to the anonymous sources close to the situation. I know every time I hear the word "source" or "anonymous source", I want to punch someone in the mouth.
