Volcano?

My next one for sure. Right now I am using a cheap, but very effective model made by USA Vitamins. I won't be able to justify dropping that kind of money down until Xmas, though my BD is in 28 days....hmmm.

Edit: I wonder if RG III ever got down with the get down. (Attempt to bring the thread back to the topic, sorry for sidetracking)

That is the issue I have with them.


The enormous either stupidity or arrogance in doing it again.

Obviously they were stupid at some point. I'm curious about the level of stupidity, primarily because I want to know whether this could be a problem for the Skins again.

If cooley is telling the truth, that the players know when the league tests, then Cheech and Chong probably are stupid enough to smoke up again during a time frame which could get them 16 games off.

I have a lot of things to do, but I just don't want to do them, lol. Just wanted to share the first two mentions (the ones I found, at least) of RG3 on hr.com:

Interesting threads, if anyone wants to take a look.

didnt ochocinco once post a picture of a letter informing a drug test was coming soon? or something to that degree. i could be wrong, but i dont seem to think cooley is lying.

click the letter in the picture to enlarge it there

basically says if youre not prepared to provide a sample you should check with the collector anyways. and the article says the nfl acknowledged that the letter is real...

sure do wish we'd sign RGIII before june otas.

I'm ready for training camp. I've been enjoying the Nationals this season but my RG3 addiction needs to be sated. I've had the shakes just waiting for it to go down.

I should probably go through this entire thread before saying this but if people haven't made RG3 statistic projections yet I'll go ahead and start.

I'm going big. 4700 passing yards 36 TDs 850 rushing yards with 10 TDs.

Also props to FarmerTed and Lavar for being the first two to recognize the glory of RG3.

Here's an article explaining the hold-up:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/R...als-yet-060112

But there is one matter that has slowed the process at the top of the draft — so-called "offset language."

It seems to be a principle hurdle to the logjam in earliest quadrant of the first round, starting with Andrew Luck at No. 1 overall and including the top eight picks in April's draft.

The offset element has been, well, off-putting to the agents for the top eight.

The offset component — which, in most easily understandable terms, would grant relief to a franchise that releases a player, and then sees him sign with another team, usually in the final (fourth) year of a deal — is clearly a sticking point. It might, in fact, be perhaps the biggest one, and certainly the deterrent mentioned most frequently to The Sports Xchange in discussions with agents and team executives involved with top eight picks, that has precluded agreements for the premier choices.

As of Friday morning, none of the top eight prospects chosen in April had yet reached accords on their initial rookie contracts, and dickering over the offset language is believed to be a factor in all eight cases.

It's beignet time, MFers!!!

How long until beignet's are at concessions? Also, am I wrong to think it'd be awesome to see tens of thousands of beignet's being tossed onto the field in the waning moments of a win?

Considering he was saying he'd make them following "every no-sack victory," I envision t-shirts with Griff standing at the deep fryer.
