You can’t win it all at that time. "last second” is when the clock reads 00:01 at the Super Bowl, and the Eagles had clinched the Lombardi long before that. No last second heroics needed.

So your statement "Yeah still really feel that way. But it still worked out. We got far enough at the last second.” is patently false.

My statement stands

Explain how that graphic could be either (1) the final dead money for last season or (2) the dead money already lined up for this season.

It is neither of those.

If you understood Dead Cap you would know that.

Pardon my ignorance...in the matter of "dead money"...are you referring to a particular point in time (Last season/this season/next season), June 1, June? Be more specific.

BTW, do you think quantum physics might be of any further help in resolving this pressing issue?

There is only one season for which there is Dead Cap right now.

And there was only one season on the date included on the graphic.

If you understood Dead Cap you would know that.

I believe post 6/1 we dropped to 3rd spot, not that ranks here matter. I'll take 3rd while fielding another SB possible team any year all year

Apparently a few on here cannot read dates on graphs. It's a "snapshot" at a specified point in time, so it's "as of right now" between seasons. It's not about "which season." It's the OFF SEASON as of the dated graph. It's like a check book balance, so if you read your check book balance as of this date, do you ask "which summer this was"? No, it's a number at this point in time and the point is shown on the graph. Tomorrow, if you write a check today, that figure in your checkbook changes right???? It(dead cap) could be different on any given day and probably is after 6/1. It's not too tough really. This was the dead cap on 3/8 (as in THIS MARCH). It is now JUNE, so LOOK up that graph if you want. As transactions occur these numbers change, day to day, maybe hour to hour. It is dissimilar to a checkbook in that you can't push checkbook figures down the road. Your checkbook figures change with each check or deposit(obviously). Same with this. And if you run your checkbook to 0.00 and write another check you are in default, so the league sets figures(cap limits) so you can never "default" on the cap. You can run it down to 0,but you cannot go over your spending limit and if you are "over the cap" you have to cut assets to get to at least 0.

That isn’t a crazy suggestion. It might give Ham a leg up in his understanding.

How does your garden grow? Tomatoes doing well but my peppers are refusing to come up and it's making me mad. I may even have to go buy plants at Lowes soon(I raise my own and failed on pepper sprouts) UGH

No veggies. Only annual and perennial ornamentals.

With that said the farm field behind our back fence is planted in corn. When I lived in the East there was an expression, "Knee high by the 4th of July”. Out here in Northern California things grow so fast that it is "Knee high by the 1st of May” and "A foot over the eye by the 4th of July”

I know grapes are big, I would have an arbor for sure. I moved to a "development" and the "dirt"(I use that term loosely) is a PH neutral nightmare of various clays. I can't grow diddly on my acre, so I had to get planter boxes and pots to grow things. Just awful. It's so bad even invasives like strawberries or blackberries won't grow. Dandelions are doing very well this year(HAHAHA ish)

We actually do have some table grapes, and three fig trees and two orange trees. So I stand corrected.

It is a good description of both the Cap, and although it doesn’t use the specific term, the Dead Cap.

The NFL Players Association will never let the Collective Bargaining Agreement eliminate void years like the Commissioner wants. The players get more cash sooner when void years are used like Howie uses them.

Like the attempted Tush Push ban. If you are winning you are doing something illegal and we need to put a stop to that nonsense immediately

The NFL’s business plan is built on a foundation of parity. With parity more cities can have hope of postseason success. They don’t wander dynasties if they can help it. Both KC and NE had marketable superstar QBs. So they were tolerated because those superstars drew audiences even in also ran cities. They don’t see a marketable superstar on the Eagles. Just a lot of players who carry lunch pails.
