Rideau has really stepped it up this offseason.
That’s good… we need some size among our WR corps.

Absolutely.
Especially in short yardage at in crappy weather, it pays to have a big target who can more or less box-out smaller d-backs and win jump-balls. Cutler loves that type of player, and we’d be foolish not to supply him with one.
The good news is that even if Rideau doesn’t develop, we do have a huge, talented wide reciever already – Greg Olsen. Greg can do a lot of those “big receiver” type things, and having Dez allows us to have a big target both on the line and in the slot.

I hope the injury isn’t serious. But this is calling to question his duribility.

should've been to smudgers...
apparently, i can now find the reply “link”(not sure if i like that yet), now, if only i can figure out who to reply to… i won’t even self LIAF myself(that sounded weird), i’ll wait for the proper authorities…

We'll let it slide.
I think I like reply “link” but I’m open to change. What about, “I can’t seem to find the + button.” Ehhh, it may need some work.
And yes, it hurts me wittle feewings. :)

Doesn't that fall in the same category as reply "button?"
There has to be something we can all agree on.

“Can’t seem to find the ‘+ button / reply link that is to the right of the up arrow button / up link and to the left of the gadget icon button / actions link at the bottom of the poster’s comment I was trying to reply back to’.
Too much?

But as a qb not named Elway… I can only imagine how frustrating Denver can be.

Portland to Seattle is about 3 hours...
Portland to SF is about 10 hours. We will eventually head down that way, but it will probably be next summer.

Man, I just can't be tempted with this...
My daughter is getting married Oct. 3rd and decided she wants the wedding on a cruise ship. Not sure where that came from (maybe she saw a ‘Love Boat’ repeat).
Anyway, I need to be in Long Beach Sept. 29 to do the ‘practice thing’ … That funny walk that for some reason, at least with my other daughter’s wedding, make you both smile and cry.
I don’t think I could handle another distraction during that period of time.

But I wonder how much fun it was for Bennett… I’d love to see a video of that pass.

Very true.
ChiFan and myself both refuse to do the Twitter thing, but he is planning on getting Twitter account for when he is at camp this weekend. Now we just have to get WCG off of his butt and link the site into ChiFan’s Twitter feed.

This site has a Twitter feed. All posts from this site automatically go to it. ChiFan will be posting his camp feeds to that account.

No burn.
I have been getting on WCG to add a couple of feeds directly to the site… so they show up on the sidebar. He says he is too lazy.
I reckon since he has 3 non-commissioned employees working for him, he can do that.
Til we go on strike.

Ah
I figured you were a Cubs fan. Len & Bob (the tv announcing crew) have a running gag. Bob’s been married for 30 years or something and whenever he talks about his wife he ends it with “Yes dear, you’re right. I’m sorry.” he says its his survival method.
I don't get to see the Cubs much
I know who you’re talking about now, you just had to say Len and Bob. And he’s right it is a survival method until she catches on to what your doing.
