bubba9497 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 "No one is talking about [the NFL] yet in terms of hockey or basketball, where you've had one [NHL] season wiped out already, and now the [NBA] is talking lockout," said Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. "And let's hope we never get into that discussion, OK? We'd better be smart enough not to start down that road." Fans like to consider the salary cap some sort of great equalizer but that isn't really the case. As noted here in the past, the cap is more a bookkeeping number than a spending limit, and only partly reflects a franchise's payroll and other player-related costs. That's why teams like Washington, the league's Golden Goose, can afford a payroll in excess of $100 million, while some other clubs have an outlay of 40 percent less than that. **** The Washington Redskins have a need for a No. 4 cornerback, and might soon require a punt return specialist if they release Chad Morton as a salary cap casualty, so the club will stay in contact with veteran defensive back R.W. McQuarters, who was released by the Chicago Bears earlier this week. But word is that Redskins officials weren't thrilled when McQuarters arrived for his visit with a two-man entourage tagging along. McQuarters, whose résumé includes 58 starts in seven NFL seasons, and who has played virtually every position in the secondary and on special teams, will continue to explore his options. He might visit with the New York Giants, and all three Florida franchises have indicated an interest in meeting with him, as well. The former San Francisco first-rounder has 10 career interceptions and 52 passes defensed. He has averaged 9.4 yards, and scored three times, on punt returns and has a 21.2-yard average on kickoff returns. McQuarters' career has been marked by inconsistency but, in a league where teams always need cornerbacks, he will find a home soon enough. ** As for the 49ers, well, Mike Nolan might have to sign a veteran wideout now to replace Hamilton, but that doesn't mean the Niners' first-year head coach regrets not adding David Boston or Jerry Rice when he had an opportunity. "I want a good receiver, not a receiver with a good name," Nolan said. There should be a few veterans, notably Rod Gardner of Washington and perhaps Kansas City's Johnnie Morton, available in the next week or so. And there are a few serviceable guys, Tai Streets for one, who are still in the unrestricted pool. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2069744&num=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 But word is that Redskins officials weren't thrilled when McQuarters arrived for his visit with a two-man entourage tagging along. If true, just leave this guy alone. The only person you should bring at all would be your agent. McQuarters is coming to meet coaches and talk football not going out pimping with his boys.

Tarhog Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Originally posted by CrazyLikeAFox87 Congrats on 20000! When you consider that Art rarely makes a drive-by post, and more frequently engages other members in an in-depth conversation, thats incredible! Art's contribution to extremeskins is obvious. Besides being one of the early forces behind creating this site, his confident, tenacious posting style and insistence that all here back up their assertions with fact, not internet fantasy have contributed to making this place the best place to be to talk Redskin's football. His gift is the ability to simultaneously inspire, amuse, enrage, and drive his fellow posters to distraction. He never bores. And I believe he is THE most read poster here, because no matter what he says, its always interesting. And in real-life, he's even more interesting. I believe the ultimate smack-down Art could inflict upon those who oppose him here occasionally would be to allow them to meet him in the flesh. Because they'd inexplicably find themselves......gasp......liking him. Liking him a lot. And that, I believe, would really screw with some people's heads :laugh: Congrats on the milestone Art (although I know you neither seek it or want it) - Heres to a natural born Earth-shaker and genuine force of nature.

Congratulation on 20,000, TOO bad it had to address a poor use of wording. Just a thought! If he had made that slip say in a sports bar or locker room, he might not of had a chance for a correction.
