I can't blame a player for a physical mistake like that; sometime a player just gets beat. Mental mistakes, Shanny and Quinn, are much more of a problem for me.

Avg $8/year may be doable, but all that really matters is guaranteed money and how it hits the cap. Any other numbers are just talk show fodder.

I'm not thinking of a hometown discount per se, but paying Freeman his true value not top RB money. If Freeman is looking to be the highest paid RB than he's gone.

Dimitroff has said they know the market value when answering a question about resigning Free. That being said, they're probably not going to offer Free top running back money, and they shouldn't. Devonta may have to decide if he wants to play for a sorry team/organization to maximize his income, or play for what appears to be a team set up for several years of high level success with a well run organization.

There's an Atlanta United facebook ticket group where people buy/sell single game tickets. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=atlanta%20united%20ticket%20community

Dimitroff has already said they will be looking to sign Free to a new contract in the fall, because that's when they typically re-up existing players. I'm sure there's a reason for the timing having to do with the timing of when contracts are signed, salary cap, and just availability of front office to have the cycles to do a big contract. Free's under contract this year so they are probably taking care of other business, with tighter deadlines, first. Patience.

Yeah, AB hasn't shown any hesitation to spend money.

That schedule probably assumes a typical 8-hour work day. I'm sure it can be done faster if necessary.

I like the attitude, but Devonta don't go looking for contact. You won't survive the season.

To be clear, I would have bought season tickets even if I had known up front that the entire season would be played at Bobby Dodd, because I would have wanted to keep my place in line for seat selection at the Benz. I won't be attending any more day games at Bobby Dodd, but fortunately there's not too many of them left, and I'm still excited about seeing the inside of the new stadium in September.

In a salary cap league cuts can also be because a good enough replacement is available at a cheaper price. That doesn't mean the cut player has nothing left.

Enjoying the news is just a matter of playing mental games with yourself. Revel in the Saint's misfortune without enjoying a player's injury (as long as the player isn't a d-bag).

For me metrics are really to confirm what you're seeing on tape; particularly when the player being evaluated isn't necessarily playing the "strongest" competition.

The total misses by the draft ranking gurus just goes to show you how much weight teams give to intangible and immeasurable qualities.

- Turn from your wicked ways Saints. Touch'em Lord, touch'em. Touch their heart. - There's a lot of effort they (the Saints) put into being stupid.
