Thank you.  Got notice about 30 seconds ago he is in recovery   

 

 

Man, he is going to be PISSED when we have to take him back in to get his balls chopped.

Lol yeah, I remember when I got my dog neutered, he was a boxer almost 2 years old, after the anesthesia wore off he kept looking between his legs all confused, he knew there used to be something there and they weren't and he couldn't figure out where they went😄

Kempski thinks Waitman is a no brainer of Siposs.  

Waitman is pretty strong and left footed. Belicheck loved that idea to gain every little competive edge. Very reluctantly let him go. Says more about Baringer, as he was a draft pick.

Nolan Smith obviously has a serious injury.  I wouldn’t expect to see him until after week 8

Nothing obvious about it.

He's been on 6 teams the last three years.

The amazing thing about that letter, is not just the eloquence with which he unpacks the actual NEED for the atrocities of war to be brought to bear on Georgia (here, specifically on Atlanta) with the most limited loss of life possible, by giving them free passage out of Atlanta before moving in... but the fact that he builds the case 'in haste' as he puts it at the bottom of the letter.  He didn't have a chance to draft and redraft and revise... but maybe one dictation given and a few edits along the way, but I would conjecture the whole thing was done in less than an hour, possibly considerably shorter than even that.

I agree and I think that's why it's super insightful as to his mindset.  He probably sets forth the clearest reasoning for the war from the North's perspective.  If they don't fight the rebellion, the US will be faced with perpetual conflict like Mexico.  This is significant not just because of the fear over continued internal conflict but really a justifiable fear that European conflicts would direct the US and Confederate states that remained.  The context of Mexico is that Napolean 3 had invited Maxmillian to become the Emperor of Mexico.  This was set up because Mexico could not pay its post revolution debts.

He can say that but thumbs are kind of important to pass rushers 

Hopefully it doesn't hamper his production too much...

I'd take him over Opeta

That's 5 more teams than Siposs would make.

He played well this pre-season and would be a good fit.

Kelce should have about a 50% easier time. Only one of his nuts dropped.  I told schmoopie we should have named him Kruk

Looks like his played some tackle and guard, so that couldn't hurt

So he has popularity going for him....

Left footed and black, dudes a punter unicorn!

Because they want to see how guys play during real returns.  Not fair catches.

That might explain why teams would return a ball that lands short of the goal line rather than fair catch it. But it wouldn't account for the kicking team's hitting the ball into the endzone. Heck, all four of Elliott's kickoffs against the Colts were hit into the endzone, three of them out of the back.

The guy has been waived about six times in three years and only punted for the Steelers briefly when their starter was out. [Edit: I guess he also punted for the Broncos last year.]

I'm curious what anyone sees in him other than he's "notSiposs".

No idea who this guy is

He punted for the Bears for years.

Along those same lines, that was part of the thinking in the Revolutionary War as well... the conclusion was that they had to either rebel together as a single unit... or to remain as they are... together.  The claim was that if they acted independently and not as a single unit in the revolution, they'd just replay the bloody history of war as had worked out in Europe.  The colonies were relatively independent, but they figured out pretty quick and they couldn't survive like that.  The Join or Die Flag highlights that thinking as well.  Even in that though... there were Tories who fought on the side of the British... and it was a bit of a 'civil war' in its own right of northerners (who were more largely in favor of independence) fighting southerners (who had more loyalties to the crown).
