"I guess if you go from ridiculous to slightly less ridiculous you can call that real progress," the source said.

Yeah, I can’t get into those.
I have a lot of friends who think it’s hilarious.
I’m not a big fan.
I think the name Donovan McManning is funny though.
We should call him that everytime he throws a worm burner with an open receiver.

Well I guess we can kiss the hopes of Maclin making a huge impact this year good bye

The pads are going on soon and the current contract situation is “slightly ridiculous”

Amendola making a bid for the 2009 Na Brown award?

The Maclin contract negotiation is a bit disheartening. I was hoping he would be able to make a contribution this year as a receiver. Contract negotiations that are falling under the classification of “ridiculous” don’t give me much confidence that he will be much of a contributor this season.

Sometimes it's just fun to take the family for a spin around the lake in the old boat. Even if it's not your family or your boat, and they're screaming for you to stop.
