Brazilian Deforestation and the Hydrosphere
Joe-Anne Corwin Jamie Fryrear, Challeneger Learning Centers
Students read an article about the impact of deforestation on the hydrosphere and answer review questions. Students choose two variables and make a prediction. Students pick a previous year to study and use the NASA Earth Observatory (NEO) website to download datasets showing different variables overlaying Rondonia and Mato Grosso, Brazil. Using visual analysis techniques, students explain whether their prediction was confirmed or not during the year in question.

Climate Literacy
About Teaching Climate Literacy
The abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is controlled by biogeochemical cycles that continually move these components between their ocean, land, life, and atmosphere reservoirs. The abundance of carbon in the atmosphere is reduced through seafloor accumulation of marine sediments and accumulation of plant biomass and is increased through deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels as well as through other processes.
Other materials addressing 2d
Airborne particulates, called "aerosols," have a complex effect on Earth's energy balance: they can cause both cooling, by reflecting incoming sunlight back out to space, and warming, by absorbing and releasing heat energy in the atmosphere. Small solid and liquid particles can be lofted into the atmosphere through a variety of natural and man-made processes, including volcanic eruptions, sea spray, forest fires, and emissions generated through human activities.
Other materials addressing 2e
The interconnectedness of Earth's systems means that a significant change in any one component of the climate system can influence the equilibrium of the entire Earth system. Positive feedback loops can amplify these effects and trigger abrupt changes in the climate system. These complex interactions may result in climate change that is more rapid and on a larger scale than projected by current climate models.

Technical Details
Teaching Tips
- Consider using the reading as an assessment instead of an introduction. Let students make predictions on the article review page and then launch into the hands on collection of data portion of the activity.
- Consider switching the order of activities - explore NEO datasets and then follow with reading. Provide more time and structure for students to unpack all the information in the reading.
About the Science
- Students learn about relationships between a series of variables connected to Brazilian deforestation--smoke from fires, photosynthesis from vegetation, water vapor, cloud cover, rainfall and temperature. They use Google Earth and NASA Earth Observatory (NEO) data to collect data and verify their predictions.
- Comments from expert scientist: Presenting complex interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere in a digestible way and giving the students the opportunity to download and use original data, interpret the patterns they see, and summarize.
About the Pedagogy
- The background student reading is dense and the assignment might be better served by using the original articles from which it was created. Students will need to unpack the background material - to a greater extent than provided in the activity -- for it to be useful.
- The teacher materials are extensive and a final assessment rubric is provided.
- This resource engages students in using scientific data.
See other data-rich activities
Technical Details/Ease of Use
- Teachers will need to review how to access NASA Earth Observatory (NEO) data before students do the investigation.

Newest Review: ... vacuum cleaner can be reclined to your chosen cleaning position. Pushing the Bissell Easy Vac around the house is an easy task as the vac... more
The Not So Easy Vac by Bissell
Bissell Easy Vac
Member Name: Nar2
Bissell Easy Vac
Date: 23/12/08
Advantages: Good price for a mini upright vacuum cleaner, comes with a small stretch hose, washable filters
Disadvantages: Noise, poor plastic build, some strange design issues, can't glide unless squeegee is removed.
Bagless technology doesn't seem to have moved on unless your name is Dyson. Manufacturers are struggling to move the game on, only being able now to copy the same principle of "non-stop suction," because the suction patent from the Dyson DC01 seems to have run out. This shouldn't worry Bissell because they have produced a miniature version of a bagless upright vacuum cleaner with a back to basics filter that needs cleaning in a while as opposed to normal filters that always need cleaning after each vacuuming session. As the sales lady told me in the shop, the Easy Vac is an ideal model that many sheltered housing customers has bought simply for its size and weight. For a start it is supposed to weigh 4.6kg according to Bissell so it's a darn shame that my bathroom scales attest to something over 5kg and general use in its upright design reveals a great struggle for it to glide along the floor - infact its like pushing a 1kg bag of potatoes on carpets whilst on hard floors it does lighten up a fair bit whilst dirt skits around trying to avoid the high spinning and may I say, very loud beater brush when it hits flooring in general. Whilst this translation and conversion clearly slates the Easy Vac, I don't find lifting it difficult if it used by the main carry handle on top of the bin at the front of the cleaner - lift it by the main looped handle however and it strangely appears to be heavier. For power freaks, the Easy Vac only has power of 800 watts so at the very most, environmentalists and those watching their economy should simply love the Bissell Easy Vac on paper.
Unlike Hoover, Dirt Devil, Vax and other brands where filtration is concerned, Bissell have tied an outer foam ring around the existing HEPA ring that gives the name "HEPA Media," rather than High Efficiency Particulate Air filters alone. To the owner this simply means that the filter can be shaken free of dirt or washed and then dried completely to room temperature rather than having to pick the dirt off the paper pleats. However as with most things bargain priced these days, there is a bit more to the Bissell than meets the eye. For a start whilst the HEPA filter may be easier to maintain it is located at the bottom of the machine just below the dirt bin and needs to be pulled outwards for the small 1.5 litre dust bin to unlock from the body of the Bissell whilst there is an additional plastic filter that traps dirt at the top of the bin. Now for elderly people I can't imagine many would bother to check the top filter ring even though in both cases both filters are viewable to the naked eye thanks to the completely clear acrylic plastic of the entire bin assembly but to put a bin lock all the way to the bottom of the machine? Are Bissell mad or did they run out of space to put an easier dust bin release mechanism? It is supposed to be "Easy," after all, Bissell! Thank heavens that at only 1.5 litres, this rather small dust cup is thankfully a lot easier than the hard to twist nature of both the Vax Quicklite V045 and newer Quicklite 2 series as well as the awkward Hoover Alyx upright - I know because I owned both at one time!
In general use however the Easy Vac doesn't betray its origins terribly well. Clothed in cheap blue plastic that doesn't hide scratches, at £39-99 the Easy Vac is obviously built to a budget and this is revealed more in the actual use of this particular vacuum not just the poor plastic and its design; the handle for starters can't be removed once it is locked downwards making storage difficult thanks to its overall height and the gliding factor is supposed to have an auto-adjusting feel to it but it struggles because it is impossibly difficult to push the thing along the floor. Underside reveals the reason why; just like Vax and Hoover models that suffer from auto adjustment, the central wheel can get snagged on carpets or rugs unless you step on the pedal to pivot the vacuum over the rugs whilst realising that this machine has been made for hard floors too is only down to the thick rubber squeegee strip that prevents it from gliding on carpets. With a blunt knife however I remedied this situation straight away, picked out the squeegee line, trimmed it, re-installed it and the result being that the Bissell now feels a lot lighter to glide as well as picking up a lot more hair and fluff when before it simply sat underneath the plastic grids on the sole plate. Easy to clean then, Bissell? Not quite! Unless all consumers read this review, perhaps and get someone else to remove and trim the squeegee strip. But then again this is also a design fault found on both the Vax Quicklite V045/6 and the Hoover Alyx uprights.
So, not only do you need to step on a pedal to put the two point angled handle down first in order to push or pull the vacuum after you and by pressing the same pedal again pivots the handle to allow the Easy Vac to lie flat to the floor, even if truthfully because of the way the large (and welcomed) upholstery brush sits at the back, it isn't exactly easy to counteract true flat to the floor cleaning. And if that isn't enough, the handle has the biggest loop design I've ever put my hand through making it easy to steer the Bissell generally even though it has retained the same sawing action of push and pulling rather than swerving around corners like the bigger and heavier Sebo Felix, Hoover's Slalom or the Dyson Ball range, so it is a pity that it is easy to feel the bonding sides in the middle of the handle when pressure is exerted from my hands. But as my mother remarked recently upon trying to fathom how to switch it on never mind put the handle down, she can't imagine many elderly people being able to do a balancing act putting one foot up to put the machine on let alone unlock the handle from the vacuum's upright position. Easy Vac? Think again Bissell! Edge cleaning is welcome though and the two further tools you get are a crevice tool and the aforementioned upholstery tool that seems to mirror other tools found on Bissell's Powerforce range of vacuums. Thankfully the one saving grace that the Easy Vac does have is a stretch hose at the back and it can go some distance thanks to the soft plastic it's made out of as well as having reinforced wire that can actually be removed. It won't reach up stairs however remembering that this is a cheap and relatively small version of a much bigger upright vacuum cleaner. The stretch hose is also clear so you can see what gets clogged easily and also has a very easy release method simply by grasping the two locks together to unlock the hose; never before have I seen a clearer method and unlike Hoover or Vax, there's no need to fish out a screwdriver to undo the hose from the machine if a clog does occur. Clearly, Bissell has tried to retain some of their own design sense in the Easy Vac. Suction through the hose is very good - most of the time - but depending on the amount of dirt the Bissell has already collected in the bin, suction can start to get weaker as more dirt gets collected.
Lastly, and this is the main Achilles' heel of the Easy Vac; when all is said and done, the Bissell does a good job of clean up. It has a longish power cord of around 5 metres and a bit more, helped along by a cord hook located on the handle for the cord to snap into so it's out of the way of the large plastic wheels. So it is a pity that the motor noise is very loud and certainly doesn't possess cleaning times to be extended for anything other than to be used as quickly as possible. Over rechargeable "cordless" sweepers, the Bissell Easy Vac is a good alternative - but it could be a lot better! Thanks for reading. ©Nar2 2008
Summary: Better than a cordless sweeper and has the bonus of mains power and a small hose.

Re: The badass shinobi Fc
I feel ya there Sirbenoit. the fc has been pretty dry lately from just looking at it. I've been a bit swamped with grad school myself and research. but anyways I'll address your questions.
it would be nice to get more information on Pain before he dies, but Kishi has really sucked at finishing out characters in the manga for people to get the full picture of them. Especially with teh villians in part two here. So for Pain to be built up so much and we finally see his action, I don't think Kishi will actually give us everything we need to see how pain is or got to where he is. If anything, it looks like Pain was built up right now to be defeated by naruto here and now. maybe when we get more to nagato battling we will get more but only if Nagato takes up more bodies that are related to Naruto to battle him with. Even still I doubt it. I think alot of pain will still be left as a mystery because Kishi hasn't fully thought out characters in a while.
I think it would be better for the plot if all six Pain bodies at Konoha are destroyed right now. That could give more character development to Nagato for the future and for battle build between Naruto and Nagato/Pain as well. I mean Nagato still cherrishes Yahiko's body... so if Naruto destroyed it, then Nagato would probably be more into fighting Naruto than he is at the point now and that could lead him to using the bodies of people that were in Naruto's life just as nagato happened to use bodies familar to Jiraiya's life when he first battled.
questions I have is this:
What ways do you think Naruto can maintain Sage mode? I have a few ideas and I'll share them later. Gotta get outta this office right now though.

TheDime: A Blog Worth Reading
January 2, 2013
Financial blogs can be a pretty boring read – that's something I will readily admit. Their style is bland and they usually just repost content from around the internet without adding any value (I've been guilty of this in my own articles). But some blogs that are fun to read and also post truly original content about financial matters. They are the class-acts of the blogosphere, and I get inspired when I read them. When I learn about new things, or a different angle on a money-related topic, I get ideas for my own blog. The authors of these blogs are also much better writers than myself – and I have plenty to learn about that also.
Now that I'm done gushing, the blog I've been reading a lot of lately is TheDime. The website is sponsored by Colorado PERA, the Public Employees Retirement Association, which is how I first learned about it. I've worked for the Boulder Valley School District, so I have a retirement account with PERA. They sent me a postcard with the title of an article: "How to Cut Costs in the Classroom" by Monet Bags. And yes, their pseudonyms are more clever than mine is. If you're a teacher, or you're planning to become one like I am, that article is very interesting. Check it out here.
Besides the obligatory section of "Money Saving Tips" (check out the one on buying food locally here), they have sections on money management, travel, "In The News," and something they call "Our 10 Cents". I guess inflation is getting out of hand, since "2 cents" is no longer enough. Here are some of my favorite articles, and I bet you'll enjoy them too:

President?s Notes -- Making a Case for Animal ID
February 15, 2004
Frb. 2004 -- When the announcement of a Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) dairy cow was made on Dec. 23, 2003, the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) was ready. Fourteen years ago the insinuations that BSE arose from scrapie caught sheep people by surprise. Since then ASI has accumulated a very large file on scrapie and the other Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies.
I received a phone call from ASI Executive Director Peter Orwick on Dec. 23, 2003. Together he and I listened to Secretary Veneman?s comprehensive announcement of the BSE cow in Washington state. Afterward Peter assured me that he and Paul Rodgers, ASI deputy director of policy, would monitor the situation.
Within 24 hours they had produced talking points to help ASI?s officers, staff and state presidents answer any questions in a press interview. Thankfully none were needed. Unlike several years ago, there have been few if any references to sheep and scrapie. The hard work of the ASI staff and volunteers over the years has done much to remove sheep and scrapie from the BSE discussion.
This does not mean we can relax our efforts or that the BSE scare will have no effect on American sheep producers. We will see an increased push for positive animal ID and an ability to trace food animals to their farm of origin.
The sheep industry is one or two steps ahead of the cattle industry with the current scrapie ID system. The coming ID system may strike some producers as unnecessarily onerous. ASI will do what it can to mitigate the difficulties.
The ID working group will meet in Sacramento under the direction of Dr. Cindy Wolf. Its suggestions will be forwarded to the appropriate agencies and will undoubtedly find their way into the new rules.
As I write this more than 30 countries have banned the importation of some types of American ruminant material. We will need some creativity to continually find and cultivate new markets in the United States and abroad for sheep products.
This should not be too difficult. Mutton imports, for example, have been going up for several years now, so there must be a market. Under the 201 promotion monies a grant was given to develop a market for "barbacoa," a Mexican favorite that uses cull ewes. The ethnic markets in our big cities use large numbers of mature sheep and goats.
We may see an increase in demand for ?grass fed? and organic lamb. New Zealand has been running ad campaigns for its ?free range lamb? and promotes their ?green? image. In marketing organic lamb we must be aware of government regulations and definitions.
While we didn?t want to see it happen the staff and volunteers at ASI were aware that a BSE-infected cow might be found in the United States. We prepared accordingly. We wrote press releases and news stories over the years, attempting to show the separation between sheep scrapie and mad cow. We kept in touch with researchers, and where we could, we invested time and resources to help them find the answers.
We have aided the National Animal Health Monitoring System surveys and the recent nationwide scrapie surveillance studies. We have prepared for an eventuality that did happen.
As producers we must do the same. Gather the best knowledge or research possible, be versatile and aware in our marketing practices and approach the future with confidence.

Identification and Frequency Domain QML Estimation of Linearized DSGE Models
This paper considers issues related to identification, inference and computation in linearized Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models. We first provide a necessary and su¢ cient condition for the local identification of the structural parameters based on the (first and) second order properties of the process. The condition allows for arbitrary relations be- tween the number of observed endogenous variables and structural shocks and is simple to verify. The extensions, including identification through a subset of frequencies, partial iden- tification, conditional identification and identification under general nonlinear constraints, are also studied. When lack of identification is detected, the method can be further used to trace out non-identification curves. For estimation, restricting our attention to nonsingular systems, we consider a frequency domain quasi-maximum likelihood (FQML) estimator and present its asymptotic properties. The limiting distribution of the estimator can be di¤erent from results in the related literature due to the structure of the DSGE model. Finally, we discuss a quasi- Bayesian procedure for estimation and inference. The procedure can be used to incorporate relevant prior distributions and is computationally attractive.Download Info

These birds keep Atlanta flapping about the gridiron all year round. The Atlanta Falcons Football Club is a professional football franchise that joined the National Football League in 1966. First awarded to businessman Rankin Smith, the team has made the playoffs just nine different seasons and counts only one conference championship in 1998. (Atlanta lost that year to the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXIII.) The Georgia Dome has played host to Falcons games since 2002, the same year Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank acquired the franchise from Smith's family.
Head coach Mike Smith, who was hired in 2008 after Bobby Petrino left Atlanta after coaching just 13 games the previous season, has guided the Falcons to three consecutive seasons with winning records for the first time in franchise history. The team won its division in 2010 but lost to the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs.
Team founder Rankin Smith, who died in 1997, paid just $8.5 million for the expansion franchise in the 1960s and ran the Falcons until 1990 when he turned over operations to his son, Taylor. Blank purchased the team for $545 million.

I like what Microsoft has done with Surface. Surface PCs are definitely cool enough that some Apple fans might actually convert. See the full feature set and design details in this earlier report. Below you can watch the loud and cool promotion video of the Surface tablets. The only issue I have for now is that the Windows 8 Pro Surface tablet is too thick with 13 mm to be cool. The Windows 8 RT model is with 9.3mm even 0.1mm thinner.
If I would have directed this Surface video, I would not have shown the Windows 8 Pro model. The thickness kills the esthetics of the Surface tablet completely. I hope for Microsoft that the ARM based Windows 8 RT Surface tablet has outstanding performance. This way most customers will not need the fat Windows 8 Pro Surface.

Some thoughts on emerging markets going into Easter weekend
By: Emerging Money
Here's a quick recap and what to look forward to in Q2:
[caption id="attachment_69704" align="alignright" width="300" caption="If emerging markets are to outperform next quarter, China will be the key"] [/caption]Fund flows into emerging markets ( EEM , quote ) clearly have taken a slight detour. After a staggering run of 24 straight weeks, we are now seeing net outflows -- 1.6Bn last week out is the largest since Sept 2012 -- but nothing major. ETFs will always show the marginal dollar allocation and clearly EM is out of favor relative to DM. But, we know that and we have discussed this trend ad nauseum; so, this may be the opportunity. Equities in Q2 will not take their lead from the US, but rather, the EU and China ( FXI , quote ). If you are an EM player, you need China to rally to see a proper, sustainable rally. Growth in G3-US is the key to any commodity recovery.
Meanwhile volatility is likely to rise in Q2, and should be traded hard if you are in high quality names. Invest with confidence on the dips if you have the conviction of your work to rely on.

History of the MFA
A Brief History of the NEC MFA Poetry
program in Poetry
The NEC MFA program in poetry opened in January of 2002 under the co-directorship of Chard deNiord (program director) and Jacqueline Gens (administrative director). The inaugural faculty consisted of Bruce Smith, Li-Young Lee, Gerald Stern, Chard deNiord, Thomas Lux and Anne Marie Macari. The idea for this program originated with Chard deNiord, who maintained that a single genre low residency program offered a more focused pedagogical environment than a multi genre program, particularly during residencies. deNiord presented his idea to his former teacher and eminent poet, Gerald Stern, who embraced his concept and presented it as a proposition to his friend, former colleague and New England College president, Ellen Hurwtitz during New England College's 2000 commencement, on which occasion Mr. Stern received an honorary doctorate. Ellen Hurwitz welcomed deNiord's idea and began meeting with him in the summer of 2000 to discuss the logistics of starting such a program. Over the course of the next year, deNiord worked with New England College administrators, faculty and staff to create the program's curriculum, pedagogy, mission (see NEC MFA Handbook), and accreditation standards.
In August of 2001, Jacqueline Gens joined deNiord as co-director and began to assemble the first class. For the next five years the program flourished, growing from its initial class of ten students in 2002 to fifty three students by the winter residency of 2007. Not only did the program grow in number, thanks in large part to then Vice President Michele Perkins' initiative to procure significant tuition scholarships for incoming students, but in stature as well, distinguishing itself as the only single genre MFA program in the country. In addition to the above-mentioned first faculty, subsequent faculty from January, 2002 to January, 2007, several of whom Gerald Stern was instrumental in drawing to the program, included Maxine Kumin, Anne Waldman, Jeff Friedman, Paula Mclain, Ross Gay, Carol Frost, Michael Waters, Ira Sadoff, Jane Mead, Joan Larkin, Judith Vollmer, Judith Hall, Ilya Kaminski, Marilyn Nelson, Frank Reeve, D.A. Powell, Jennifer Clarvoe, Cecelia Walloch and Jan Heller Levi.
In the spring of 2006 the program was evaluated for the second time by the New Hampshire Post Secondary Education Commission. Flournoy Holland, a spokesperson for the commission and faculty member at University of Massachusetts MFA program, wrote the following: "I was part of the team in 2002 that reviewed the New England College low-residency MFA in its formative stages. I came away from our visit five years later with a general impression of excellence that exceeded my expectations, not because, in 2002, the prospects for the program were dim, but because the vision, design, and achievements of the program outshine and deepen my sense of what a low-residency MFA—south or north, new or old—might rightly encompass. The rigor and thoroughness of the curriculum; the spirit in which faculty and students engage with one another; the stature and range of the faculty—these are all exemplary. It is mighty and near-magical work to have achieved so much in so little time. This is truly a program to be proud of, and to support in every possible way." This assessment involved close scrutiny of every aspect of the program and involved both faculty and students in its evaluation process.
In March of 2007, Chard deNiord was succeeded by Anne Marie Macari as interim program director for a year while New England College conducted a national search for a new program director. In 2008 poet James Harms was hired to fill this position. James Harms revitalized the program, reinventing its relationship to poetry itself. During his four years as director, and working in harmony with Jacqueline Gens, he expanded course offerings to give students the opportunity to study translation, performance, new media poetry and poetics, and critical writing. While honoring the new, the program maintains its strong connection to poetry's origins. The New England College MFA Program in Poetry has become a place where tradition meets innovation, a community that emphasizes cooperation and support. The poetry faculty represents the program's new philosophy—poetry as possibility—and includes Brian Henry, Ilya Kaminsky, Carol Frost, Malena Morling, Eleni Sikelianos, Tara Rebele, and Anne Waldman. In July, 2012 James Harms was succeeded by poet Carol Frost as the new Director.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Broncos week: Tuesday practice report
Green Bay - Here's what went on during Tuesday's practice inside the Hutson Center:
RB DeShawn Wynn did not participate in practice. The reason is unknown at this time. The RB rotation was Vernand Morency, Ryan Grant and then Brandon Jackson;
CB Frank Walker (knee) and TE Bubba Franks (knee) were not at practice;
G Junius Coston (ankle) and DT Cullen Jenkins (knee) were at practice but did not participate;
WR James Jones joined CB Charles Woodson as the punt returners;
WR Koren Robinson looked rusty in his second practice back from suspension. Most of it had to do with his hands, as he dropped a couple of passes. He seemed to be frustrated after he bobbled a couple of other passes. He pounded the ball at one point, but seemed to be quickly reassured by QB Brett Favre;
Favre seemed to have an issue with his right shoulder at one point. He was checked by a trainer and then gave a majority of the snaps to Aaron Rodgers;
Jason Spitz was again at RG in front of Tony Moll;
The receivers worked some on over-the-shoulder catches. Those should come in handy on those 15-30 yard passes along the sideline which is a big weakness against the Tampa-2 defense, which has given the Packers so much trouble.

It seems that our running backs are lost. Why don't we go after Ron Dayne? He has never gotten any respect and he would be glad to come to GB. He's a mudder and would be perfect for Lambeau in Nov. & Dec.
Wynn not at practice? I shudder to think... Hopefully Morency's ready to go...
Trading deadline is over, so no Dayne for GB.
No doubt TT has ZERO interest in Dayne.
People should realize that TT's philosophy is to develop young players, including RBs.
TT's history shows that he does NOT bring in well-traveled journeymen like Dayne and, especially, veterans who are more than 30 years of age (e.g., Dayne, Dillon, etc.)
Again, people should know: What you see now at RB is what you get (for the rest of the season). -
Ron Dayne? The same guy that has averaged 35 yards per game over his illustrious 8 year career?
How is he any better than what they have now? -
If we're not going to go out and get a decent RB, you might as well give the ball to Charles Woodson on offense. He would do a good job. But we do have to get going. And, especially, we have to score some touchdowns! We only scored one against Washington. I think James Jones shouldn't return kicks, he would fumble the ball and give them good field position.
Ted Thompson can evaluate talent but he's a crappy businessman and that's a big part of being a GM. That's what made Wolf so great - he could evaluate talent but he was savvy and knew when to take a calculated risk. (LIKE WHEN YOUR TEAM IS 5-1 TED THOMPSON!) I remember hearing a story that Wolf tried starting a rumor the night before the draft that Bob Whitfield had a glass eye! LOL!
TT should be in charge of personel only. I grimace every time I see Moss sky over 2 db's for a reception ... especially after favres 2 picks in Washington. I know Moss would have come down with those balls! grrrrr -
People are still complaining about TT? -- the man who has helped the team get to 5-1 a mere 18 months after the crash landing of 4-12.
As for Jake:
You're reaching......dreaming.......Why would MM play Woodson on offense? Give me one reason why he's an upgrade over Driver, Jones, and Jennings.
Woodson plays offense as an emergency only and in the event of injuries. -
How is TT a crappy businessman?
Seems that's one of his strengths, given the team is multi-millions under the cap and able to re-sign current Packer players to new, long-term deals and/or sign other teams free agents this coming Feb./March. -
"Wynn not at practice? I shudder to think... Hopefully Morency's ready to go..."
I agree with you, but that's probably wishful thinking. None of these guys (and that includes Jackson) seems to be able to take a few hits without getting unjured. None of these guys just don't seem tough enough to ever be the feature back. -
TT a bad business man? I don't think there are many people out there that could have cleared up the cap mess that Shermin left in one year and produce a winning team. I think this off season will tell us everything We need to know about TT.
