...any word on Pete Monty's current employment situation?

Ironically... Ron Dayne has also reported to camp more than 100,000 lbs over his playing weight.

It's arthritis in his knee, Temp. It's not going to get any better, you don't "recover" from arthritis. And he only lasted TWO games last year before he had to hang up the cleats. It's not like he got hit and had it injured... it just wore out. LIke I said, he might gimp around for a few more years, but his career is effectively over... and the fact we picked up three safeties in the offseason only underscores my point.

This is like the LEAST controversial statement ever.

I'd say he's only an average NFL receiver. Remember, if he doesn't drop that pass against the Giants in the playoffs a few years back, then everyone would be talking about the classic Dallas vs Green Bay championship game.

And Sinorice Moss.

Golly gosh, Jeremy Droppy sure is dumb!

Double or nothin, Crickey Mc Wallaby! A buck says the guy never makes the Pro Bowl!

Exactly. The only thing that fixes his injury is knee replacement. He might gimp around for another year or two but his best days are sadly behind him.

His career is over.

I say three straight triple-reverses. A little razzle-dazzle! That'll show 'em!

And keep his feet in bounds.

Smith and Nicks are near locks, but I could see either Hixon or Barden in on 3-wide sets. I could easily see Barden on the outside with one of the other guys moving to the slot for certain formations.

Sinorice Moss is going to push him outta that spot en route to 2300 yards and 32 TDs this season.

Wow... Boothe out, Boss having surgery, and Nicks, Bradshaw, and Phillips all unable to practice. ...sounds like we're in midseason form to me!

I think Goff was the guy who was mostly on injured reserve his rookie year.

Here are my predictions: Dallas: They should be at least as good as last year, as Flozell was pretty much the only "major" loss and was clearly on the downside of his career. They had a wicked good draft and and have a solid QB, RB, and defense, but like many teams, one or two key injuries will derail them. I think Barber is washed up (like Jacobs) but I think both backs have something to prove... Jones could be a good one if he's ever healthy for a full season, and Miles Austin looks like he may in fact be the real deal. Dez Bryant won't do anything in year one, and could very well develop into "T.O. lite." Philly: Honestly, who knows? The McNabb-Westbrook era is over, and unless the new guys deliver (Kolb and McCoy) then Reid will be shown the door by season's end, too. We're finally going to find out if Reid is a good coach surrounded by overrated players or vice versa. Their D seems solid but unspectacular, and I still think DeSean Jackson will show that he's a real diva asshole this season. I predict a solid start to the season, fillowed by a meltdown when adversity strikes. Washington: Another year where a new coach/marquee player swoops in to save the francise... another 6-10 year. This time it's Shanahan and McNabb... just like Joe Gibbs, Steve Spurrier, Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, Jesse Armstead, Jeremiah Trotter, etc. were supposed to do. Don't believe the hype... they're the Redskins. Their toxic owner poisons every level of that organization. Giants: I think Fewell lights a fire under this defense, which will be good for at least two more wins (it's difficult to imagine them finishing any WORSE in that department from last year). The huge hole at LB, however, has me worried, but that was supposed to be our biggest weakness going into last offseason and it was arguably our biggest strength, so I feel a little better there than I did at draft time. The Giants are Eli's team, and he knows it and will play like it. I think Jacobs is basically done other than a short yardage guy, so I expect we'll probably see the Ahmad Bradshaw show with a healthy dose of the other guys mixed in. This is the year Hakeem Nicks really makes a name for himself. So overall, it looks like this: Dallas: 11-5 Eagles: 9-7 Washington: 6-10 Giants: 10-6

Jesus Christ, do we REALLY have to have this discussion every MONTH?

He was never that good to begin with.

Me!

YESSSS! And with no niece in the hospital, endless rain, or homes to buy, I may ACTUALLY be able to make it to camp this year!

Kimbo = overrated. Put a fat tomato can in front of him and he looks like the man... put a real fighter in front of him and he gets pummeled.

Yep. He's become the poster boy for that. In fact, I heard on ESPN radio this morning that the union president agreed specifically when he was confronted with the a question about JaMarcus Russell's play that a rookie salary cap isn't a bad idea.

Exactly. Here's the thing: I fucking suck at Math, and I hate doing it. However, if I was a blessed with brilliant mathematical skills a'la "Good Will Hunting" and somebody told me, "hey, we'd like you do work at these equations for about eight months a year... in return, we're going to pay you 21 million dollars, you'll be famous, and you'll get top-shelf ass for the rest of your life," I'd be the best goddamned mathematician you've ever seen. I don't feel sorry ONE BIT for assholes like Plax that blow their gifts, and yes, I think they're fucking retards.

Sounds like the title to some gay porn.
