I'm going Friday.

I think SP ties one on with RR at a local tavern and makes the call to Hartley (DOH!)

Geez just having a little fun. I think it is freaking hilarious that Sean is balls to the wall on kickers and takes no prisoners...

Why isn't bacon a choice here?

So who do we pick up? Succop is already gone.

I'm guessing Barth or Feely, or Henery, or Graham, or Bironas or Dimeke or someone else

worst case scenario is Dimke or Graham, I'm guessing Barth after they are able to move Lorig to IR with return at 3 PM tomorrow

I also say the punter is really the wasted roster spot.

Dimke

Are you talking about Morstead or the Punter position period?

Morstead is the man and I'm glad he's on our team.

I'm available, and I'm good inside the 10.

And I'm cheap. I'm really REALLY cheap...

ikecomp 09-02-2014 12:21 PM

Re: The dreaded K
 
My choice is Bironas. Strong leg and consistent. Since he's older he should come cheaper.

I needed this today. An utterly pointless and dignity lowering group excercise. Thank whatever supernatural being is responsible for this. A testament to persistence.

4:38pm and still no kicker?

I bet they resign Graham.

The #Saints new kicker will look just like their old kicker. They are re-signing Shayne Graham, source says.

Boom! Payton says no guaranteed money, you want to stay here, you better make every f***ing attempt...

New Orleans Saints sign kicker Shayne Graham, waive quarterback Ryan Griffin | NOLA.com

Complete Shock He Let Ryan Griffin Geaux!!!

I'm not sure what to say so.. Enjoy

Pancake Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups milk, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.

Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.

Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.

Please read this as what I as a Moderator consider before posting a poll. I am not giving direction or telling you how you should take your poll.:chef:(sorry couldn't pass that one up)
Typically when I create a poll there are criteria I meander through before I post it.
1. Is it relevant? Is it relevant for more than 23 minutes?
2. Are all possible options covered?
3. Polls show up on the front page, so is it a poll that I would vote on and make me want to participate in B&G?
4. See #3, when you post a Poll, it bumps what ever poll is on the front main page off for yours. Is the poll that is present a more interesting poll?
5. I try to use polls to generate discussion.

Obviously you are free to create Polls of your liking, and no one will stop you.. or you can just enjoy someone elses poll (your mileage may vary). Keep in mind that asking a poll question is asking for various opinions, and limiting your exposure to those varied opinions goes a long way.. LOL

My pancake recipe was not in response to your poll, but rather to some of the comments about polls in general. :bng:

Well I certainly wasn't trying to piss the world off with it. I was just curious how long the "no kicker" drama (that really wasn't a drama) would last and did not think it required that level of blowback. That's not something typical from members of this site.

If I had posted "Vote for your favorite font" on your Saints underwear or "Who do you think will replace Brees in 2022" I would have understand the anger.

arsaint 09-03-2014 11:31 AM

Re: The dreaded K
 
and I don't mean your recipe or comments when I say blowback.

I think anyone can see from my tenure and post total I'm not posting crap for the sake of stats or trying to irritate.

You didnt brother... Well not any more than they were when they had breakfast.
Technically it is still the off season and members do not presently have enough to keep them distracted.:D

Don't take it personally, they mean no harm, their wives stopped talking to them in April so their misguided frustration often ends up in font here. 4 days of off season left and this poll will be burred under a 1/2 dozen Run!/Ingram!/Kicker! polls.

You can't help it if they clicked.:mrgreen:

Sorry ar. Not venting at you. Sometimes the steam buildup from other things lead us to over-react to stuff like this.

Although it does give many of us the chance to work on our one-liners.

Keep it up!
