A friend of mine developed a really bad wheat allergy so he had to go the gluten free route, not because of fad but necessity. One day he brings some gluten free beer over. I've always kind of looked at that stuff like sugar free brownies -meh. So I asked him if that beer was any good. He said, "It's not bad." I finally screwed up the courage to try some. BLEAH! I looked at him and he said, "I didn't say it was good. I just said it ain't bad." Will ain't bad...

But who knows? The right DC and the right supporting cast, this could be his year.

Smith's play is not the fly in his ointment. His play compared to his 1st round draft status + his contract size are. I say "are" because he is not that expensive anymore since he took a 6m pay cut this season...

Smith and Ingram are not living up to first round expectations as of yet.

Thus, not bad...
