No they can't my friend. No they cant
I expect that pic posted in the next 15 minutes, as I am, as always, on my iPhone, currently wandering the streets of DC. Just gave the finger to the white house, felt good

I would have preffered Briesel
but I’ll take it.
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
We got anyone hear matching this description? :-p
One of those is SBNation.com. The Washington-based network of 270 team-centric and sport-specific and geographically focused websites (each operating under its own Web address) pays part-timers to produce most of its content. Many of the writers are lawyers, looking for an outlet for their writing and argumentative skills, said SBNation chief executive Jim Bankoff.

The link worked both times
but, regardless, you’ll be getting docked your 2 cents that you had coming to you for making that link….
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Ain't It The Truth
A competitor from another website admired the way SBNation’s (the name is derived from its earlier title, Sports Blog Nation) technical platform makes it easy to create and post new content. He also suggested that quality varies markedly from one SBNation site to the next.

Now go state your case to BBS for readmission :)
You are banned from Stampede Blue.
You can browse the blog, but you can't participate.
Hi CFHTim. You're trolling yet another SB Nation blog. Since you've been banned from several other SB Nation blogs, you don't get a warning. You get banned. If you want to get unbanned, email BBS and state your case for re-admission.
I don't think the lawyers need an outlet for their writing
I think they just have a bunch of free time on their hands while they make clerks do all the grunt work . Combine that with the arrogance that they are substantially smarter than everyone else and you have the perfect blog writer.

Just had to get a shot in
I was practically raised by wolves snakes lawyers and have enough family ,very close friends, and even an x or two in the profession that I mock them only out of love…or a desire to speak the truth.

I've worked for a couple of lawyers.
And you are right about that sir. About the paralegals doing all the grunt work. All they do is pretend to “look through documents” before signing them.
Breakdown
Can anyone offer insight into how well smith has performed and what made the coaches pick him over briesel or studdard? The reason I include studdard is because i saw someone else’s breakdown of his playing in the preseason and they said that up to that point he had performed the best at guard. Also what does the starting o-line look like now besides the obvious tackle positions.

LG Smith, C Myers, RG TBD
Between Caldwell and Brisiel. I think Caldwell has a huge edge and this is a motivational tool more than anything though.

I've touched on it some through the position battle/starter projection threads...
I’ll break it down:
Why Wade? Honestly, I believe his paycheck had something to do with it. He’s getting paid a bit too much to be a back-up. He performed poorly at Arizona, but has steadily improved. The coaches and other linemen have said it….I’ve seen it. He still struggles a bit in pass blocking because he gets pushed back, but he’s solid on run blocking….pretty good on the move.
Brisiel, to me, has looked the best because he’s stronger at the point of attack. He pushes his man back on run blocking, makes some great seal blocks, and doesn’t get pushed back too far on pass blocking. He’s a mauler and should’ve won, but I don’t see everything.
Studdard blows. He’s not the best at anything. He constantly gets beat. He’s a tough player when he gets his hands on you, but he’s slow and doesn’t move his feet. He could be a starter if he got his legs working right.
Line as of now is Brown – Smith – Myers – Caldwell – Winston, but the coaches have said Brisiel and Caldwell will be battling for the RG on Thursday. I expect Caldwell to win….dude’s been great this pre-season.
"Lord, beer me strength."
At the same time...
because Brisiel can play G and C, he’ll be a great back-up. His versatility should also let the coaches cut the abysmal Chris White.
"Lord, beer me strength."
NOT PISS PANTS
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and Chris White is a turnstile!
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Jordan Black
does not give up his nickname quite so easily
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Studdard is a freakin' revolving door!

Revolving doors are offended by this
They can at least give some people trouble.

Wasn't Briesel coming back from surgery in the offseason
…or did I just make that up? I think that could have slowed him down a little early in camp. Either way I think Smith and Caldwell makes the most sense for now. If either goes down or struggles I feel pretty good that there won’t be much of, if any, a drop off.

ya he had a torn ligament
I think but he was definitely injured
Oh happy day!
Now we can get down to business!
And Saint Attila raised the offensive line up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this thy offensive line, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies off of thy line of scrimmage and protect thy lobber of the sacred football of Antioch, in thy mercy.” And the Lord did grin.

Rec'd for the Monty Python reference.
That was beautifully done. A seamless integration of football and Monty Python….who’d a thunk it?
Just my $.02

And
A not very oft used reference at that.
