per espn: Michael Crabtree's foot injury will leave the 49ers short-handed through camp and possibly into the regular season. -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 07:17 3
- With Alex Smith as the QB, Crabtree is as likely to get the ball thrown to him being on the sidelines as on the field. -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 07:22
- Darren Sproles to New Orleans -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 07:18 1
  - so they traded away the new sproles for the original sproles? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 07:21

FWIW, I have not read the back boards, but I'm not really a ban hammer fan except in the rarest of cases. - ty97 Jul 29, 07:01 24
- Agreed. The problem I have is he comes off as a self-righteous prick unlike groiny who is a self-defecating prick. It's a fine line but harder when - oblique Jul 29, 07:22 4
  - L4. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 07:24
  - [deleted]
  - heh - it's "self-deprecating" -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 07:23
  - Groiny s**ts himself? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 07:23
- yeah, he's a little abrasive and has a hair trigger, but I don't think quite worth banning. -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 07:19 2
  - He's not really here enough to be an issue. -- nm - Amy Jul 29, 07:20 1
    - I think he shows up when he needs his persecution complex justified. -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 07:25
- I think our point was, not that it matters anymore... - TFox Jul 29, 07:14 13
  - And my post is totally a principle post, since I haven't read many of the specific posts and thus can't comment directly on this situation either way -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 07:19
  - [deleted] 9
    - Kelly's post was a follow-up to her addiction question that prompted another "Norway mass killer father did it X way." - Will Hunting Jul 29, 07:21 5
      - Again, not that it matters or that I'm trying to pile on, but for your requested context... - TFox Jul 29, 07:26 3
        
        Wow.. I think that song is awesome as well, and listened to it a lot in 92/93, but, its title is "Symphony of Destruction" ........ - Facto Aug 2, 21:30

    - isn't that kind of his -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 07:19 2
      - dammit... MO? come by, be a little irritating, flip out and be all persecuted, then piss off? -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 07:21 1
        
        He does seem to play the victim card pretty quick. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 07:25
  - I was afraid it would start a cleansing that would lead to my abrupt removal -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 07:15 1
    - It's the new Fox and Hens -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 07:17
- only because you would get booted. - groiny Jul 29, 07:11
- I'm looking and can't find it unless I'm blind. Finding Facto stuff. -- nm - lileve Jul 29, 07:05
WTF? - groiny Jul 29, 06:56 29
- Oh honey, you're an asshole, too. -- nm - Amy Jul 29, 07:04 1

      - So I've heard. I'm less enthusiastic about making a major move than pretty much every other Braves fan. - David Jul 29, 07:06 3
        
        you still have prospects? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 29, 07:09 2
        
        We've got one of the three best farm systems in baseball right now. - David Jul 29, 07:12
        
        They got 2 or 3 starting pitchers in AAA that would get a haul each. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 07:12
      - I would hate to see him go. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 29, 07:03 6

        well, you are taking one of the 2 productive guys out of it. - groiny Jul 29, 07:09 4
        
        FWIW, Dunn has been offered to several teams. I think this could be a quickie divorce. -- nm - David Jul 29, 07:15 3
        
        IMO, it would be a mistake. - groiny Jul 29, 07:22 1
        
        Who in their right mind is going to give up money for a guy making 15mil having arguably the worst season ever? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 07:24
        
        "Well pay the entire salary." "No, we still have to play him!" -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 07:22

Anyone else watching this season of America's Got Talent? - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:48 8
- So...through 3 weeks...how do you think America's doing putting people through? So far...I'm right there with them. - Jim Jul 29, 06:56 3
  - We were surprised about a couple - Strongbad Jul 29, 07:24
  - Happy with most too....sometimes the shows format makes it difficult., You can have a great idea, but can it be a headline Vegas show. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 29, 07:03 1
    - The only one I really don't like is the Splash guy. I thought the magician should have gone through. - Jim Jul 29, 07:06

- Fucker! -- nm - Mark Ruffalo Jul 29, 06:44
4 pm today (eastern) released players hit the Waiver wire. 4:00pm and 1 sec (eastern) there will be a lot of signings annouced. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 06:38 3
- I believe this is why the Falcons cleared $7 million in cap space this morning. - David Jul 29, 06:46 2
  - also supposedly shaun smith is becoming a titan (was chiefs d-lineman last season) -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 06:49 1
    - They lost their best defensive lineman to the Eagles yesterday so they need the help. - David Jul 29, 06:50

- I've seen this movie - Zombie Apocolypse starts in 3....2....1... -- nm - Epiphany Jul 29, 06:57
You know, I only skimmed but my big takeaway from the backboards is that you all really, really dislike my husband. -- nm - Amy Jul 29, 06:36 31
- Spawn is an aquired taste....kind of like Rocky Mountain Oysters -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 07:00 2
  - I'm unsurprised that you've developed a taste for testicles. -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 07:23 1
    - well, if he wants someone's mouth on his balls, it is the only way. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 29, 07:23
- I don't. At some point I figured out to take most of his posts as being sarcastic. Now I think it's cute. -- nm - lileve Jul 29, 06:57
- do i need to backboard? does anyone feel some crazy urge to summarize? or, at least direct me to the most relevant board? -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 06:45 15
  - There was some healthy discussion of Facto's worth to the community that Facto only tangentially understood. -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 06:48
  - Facto attacked ML on a backboard, I snarked about Jim and Spawn being assholes, not Reagen, mara and ML...and suddenly, we were off and running - Will Hunting Jul 29, 06:47 9
    - ah, so, nothing i haven't seen before. thanks! -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 06:50 8
      - Welcome. Friends don't let friends read that stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 06:51 7
        
        especially that nasty stuff mara posted about andie -- nm - moles Jul 29, 06:51 6
        
        And you probably haven't even seen the truly nasty stuff I added after the rolls. -- nm - mara Jul 29, 06:59
        
        that's just fall-out from a little lover's quarrel we had. we worked it out later last night, -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 06:59 1

  - This is good. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 29, 07:19
  - This right here -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 06:58
  - :) You've summed up my feelings for him as well... -- nm - Amy Jul 29, 06:47
- he's a fighter, not a lover :) - colin Jul 29, 06:36 1
  - "but he's a lover, too, so don't get any ideas" -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 07:00

- google plus hangout will do it. they are the only ones, really. some great technology backing it up. - colin Jul 29, 06:35
- Use the gplus hangout. -- nm - Amy Jul 29, 06:31 5
  - I make out with you, actually (spawn, this is cool, right?). this is perfecto (as my friend jenny would say). -- nm - 16 more days of amanda jones Jul 29, 06:35
  - does that work, really? -- nm - 16 more days of amanda jones Jul 29, 06:32 3
    - I've not tried it--but in theory you can group video chat. -- nm - Amy Jul 29, 06:34 2
      - I just did -- it's kind of really cool. (now I want to try huddle too.) -- nm - 16 more days of amanda jones Jul 29, 06:36

- It kinda sounds like Miami is calling Denver's bluff. - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:30 8
  - And Denver's saying..."we'll keep both guys on our roster...good luck with Chad Henne." -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:31 7
    - So both teams lose! Woohoo! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:35 2
      - Depends on what you consider losing. I'd rather keep Orton on the roster and take my chances then give him away for a 5th or 6th round pick. -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:39 1
        
        I agree with that, if you're not confident in Tebow. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:41
    - has vince young signed with philly yet? -- nm - moles Jul 29, 06:33 3

      - He hasn't been officially released yet. Not til 4pm EST today. -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:33
- The 'Phins are trying to call the Broncos bluff...but I think without a deal, Elway goes into the season with Orton and Tebow on the roster. -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:29 11
  - according to ESPN, Teabow is almost down to 3rd team status already. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 06:39 4
    - huh??? -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:53
    - [deleted] 1
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:58
    - BRETT FAVRE!!!!!! - ESPN Jul 29, 06:50
  - Also, like Schefter was saying this morning, training camps are just opening...a QB could go down at any time... - Jim Jul 29, 06:31 5
    - plus Carson Palmer if the Bungels decide to move him afterall -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 06:32 4
      - Mike Brown's too stupid to trade him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 06:33 3
        
        or stubborn -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 06:36
        
        he's too busy locking down other more important players, like Jonathan Joseph - moles Jul 29, 06:35
        
        Word. He turned down 2 #1s for Johnson a couple year's ago. Got a 5th rounder this year. Way to go. -- nm - Jim Jul 29, 06:34
