Saints were in the hole financially. So what's this do?

The restructure earlier this year freed up some money ($30 million) but the cap hit in 2026 was around $69 million. Pretty sure it remained guaranteed.

Doesn’t change anything this year. I need to look next year but I think it’s 40 million dead

I saw they are letting him keep his roster bonus of $10M but he’s not collecting anything else so it saves them like $30M in cap space

This picture of Haener cracks me up every time

He looks like he’s in a poster for a Hallmark movie called Tackling Love.

Eisenhower Farm is a stone's throw from Gettysburg. He bought a farm adjacent to the battlefield... for obvious reasons.

Eisenhower was the first commandant of Camp Colt at Gettysburg. There was a tank training program there that included target practice shooting at targets on the face of Big Round Top. I believe the Marines trained there as well. There was also a swimming pool built by the Emmitsburg Road right where Pickett’s men charged. The hallowed grounds were not always hallowed.

I always thought Eisenhower retired there for the golf.

He's a lot less aggravating once you realize he doesn't really know what he's talking about and just tries really hard to pretend like he does.

In this recent 90 days he has absolutely known what he is talking about and hasn’t had to pretend at all. Give him credit where credit is due.

Thank you. I haven’t been able to look around yet. What’s his # this year and next?

The question of how much injury insurance they have on Carr is a big one.

Looks about right if you are in the middle of that sandwich

I just found out amusing how it was all drummed back up the other day and everyone else was allowed to talk about it.

Interesting comment in The Athletic about whether Coop stays inside or plays OCB when talking about alternatives (sidenote: I don’t favor this):

It’s worth remembering that Sydney Brown played more snaps in the slot (141) than he did at safety (137) as a rookie in 2023. General manager Howie Roseman emphasized Mukuba as a "cover safety,” and if Mukuba wins the starting job opposite Reed Blankenship, perhaps Brown (5-10, 211) could be a fit at nickel.

Took a group of Scouts to Gettysburg and we climbed over the fence recreating Pickett’s charge. Really changes the perspective. Can’t believe anyone made it to the Union line. We also did both Chamberlain’s charge downhill and the Confederate charge uphill. Really emphasized the importance of the high ground.

Yeah, I’ve been Gettysburg a couple times and tried to focus on different parts/different days each time. Here’s the Philadelphia Brigade at the Angle…

Chancellorsville (Wilderness adjacent), it’s either too thick or highway. Overall, my sense is that while the park service is trying it’s best to hold back development- the battlefields in general have become overgrown (as most were farmland back in the day). These trips were all done 10-20 years ago, so I suspect that there’s been more encroachment.

Antietam is worth the trip, as it is a fairly compact battlefield with South Mountain nearby.

I felt that way too, although the amusement was transcended by other feelings.

They changed there philosophy since then but yes, they are encroached upon. And have been since right after the war. Antietam is really worth the trip.

Shiloh is like that, with the interstate passing right through it.

I’ve got a bunch of loud neighborhood kids along with my six-year-old taking over my house. Since I can’t watch the shows I want to watch since I need to keep an eye on them, I decided to put on the playoff run and skip ahead to my favorite parts. I’m currently on the sack-sack-pick six sequence in the Super Bowl.

Merrill told us to "Savor it and rejoice!"

We are following his instructions.

Brown is not going to play nickel CB lol.

Balls Bluff is perfectly preserved. When I say perfectly, I mean that it’s untouched. Doesn’t even have monuments. The expert on the battle is James A. Morgan III, who has been known to give tours. His book, A Little Short of Boats, is the definitive work on the battle. I had a small part in editing the book and I had the tour.

It was a small battle but had a large political impact.

Another Philadelphia Brigade battle, well California Brigade at that point but composed of Philadelphians.
