Jake Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 http://cfl.ca/statistics/list/year/2013 Passing leader in the CFL? Henry Burris QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 12, 2013 -> 09:27 AM) IIRC, even with Peppers's contract on the books fully...the Bears will have well over $30 million in cap space going into the offseason. If they want to retain Cutler they have plenty of room to do so and should be able to make a number of other decent additions as well. The effective cap space is very low because we have so few players under contract. It is going to cost a huge chunk of that just to fill out the roster with minimum salaried guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to cost a huge chunk of that just to fill out the roster with minimum salaried guys Don't forget that there are tricks/exemptions that allow a team to maneuver slightly around/over the effective cap if they're signing veteran players. Emery used this technique to great effect this season - their LB corps and Slausson, IIRC, were among the guys signed in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has never been a good zone corner and he doesn't even cut it as a man corner. The only thing you could conceivably consider is him as a safety, and it's too late in the season to be experimenting.

witesoxfan Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 A lot of that article tries to portray Hurd in a sympathetic light as a mere pot smoker (5-10 pounds of weed at a time is not a small amount, even if he was not dealing it to others to make a profit), but considering the conversation he was having, it's entirely possible that they removed a drug lord from the street before he became a drug lord.

Jenksismyhero Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 One question I have: why is he telling those informants that he could move as much coke as he could get? Why is he setting up future deals if all he wanted to do was set up his cousin and act like a financial backer? He doesn't seem to have a good explanation for that. The secondary deals with Toby seem BS though. If the only communication between the 2 is after Toby gets word that his shipment is on its way (And payment is expected), it makes total sense that he'd call the richest guy he knows for some money. 40 seconds isn't very long to go over a large deal I wouldn't think. At the end of the day, why are screwing around with drugs (or drug dealing) when you're a millionaire? Why are you concerning yourself with 88k? This guy was clearly an idiot.

I don't necessarily believe that life in prison is necessary, but he should go to jail for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Ya, that was an interesting read, and was clearly an attempt to get sympathy for Hurd, but it blatantly ignores a lot of facts. The conversation he had at Mortons more than proves he is full of s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least it's thrown behind him and they get a field goal. Edited November 14, 2013 by scs787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments have some good stuff in there too. http://www.footballperspective.com/trailin...ter-touchdowns/ My theory has always been multiply 5 minutes by the number of scores that you are behind before scoring and that's the cutoff for going for 2. So if you are down 15 and score a TD with less than 10 minutes left, then go for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I didn't get that. Trying to just say he just smokes a lot of weed, but then he feels he's low when he's below 5 pounds? WHAT? 5 pounds could last one person 5 years. I get that he was sharing with friends, but still, for him to say he was feeling low on weed whenever he had less than 5 pounds is just absurd. Given what he was saying at Morton's, he was trying to become a kingpin, he just hadn't really done much yet. Life without parole would have been silly.

He signed a "lucrative" deal with the Bears, but with how much he was looking to move, he was trying to make millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
