For anyone who has made their gauntlets out of sintra, we have a few questions. First of all what did you use for templates? We're only talking about the base cup shaped part. Did you use paper mock ups, then trace them onto the sintra and cut it out?
Also what did you use to attach the two gauntlet halves? We've heard about Velcro and hinges but what has everyone used to attach the hinges to the actual sintra? Epoxy, goop?
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Thanks :)
If anyone else has any answers, please feel free to post.;)

Burglar breaks into Pioneers Museum
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs police are investigating a break-in at the Pioneers Museum in early Saturday morning.
Police said the museum's alarm sounded just after 12:30 a.m. Officers arrived to find several broken windows and some of the furniture inside the building damaged. Pioneers Museum Cultural Services Director Matt Mayberry said no artifacts were stolen.
Crews arrived Saturday morning to replace the windows and clean up the damage, according to Mayberry. And the museum opened its normal Saturday hours.
"We are not going to let this get in the way of our serving the public," Mayberry said.
Police said they do not have any suspects at this time. If you have any information, police would like to speak with you at 719-444-7000.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm not into antique sewing machines, so, no, not to me. Others might really covet it, though.
I've never seen one like that before.
no....I haven't either. That's why it caught my attention
Not to me but I don't collect antique machines. If it completes a timeline in your collection then it might be worth it.
Anybody can say anything about worth - you can say it is NOT worth it a collector can say it IS. Frankly I'm getting tired of it. As a matter of fact almost any vintage machine IS worth that if you go comparing the dollars it cost to buy when a machine was new - might even be worth more - just adjust for inflation.. BUT that said it doesn't mean it will sell for what someone is ASKING. BTW there is a whole thread full of CL and Ebay funny stuff - they don't all come up any more so start sorta in the back and read as the new ones come up. We do poke fun. New material added frequently: Vintage Giggles aka What are they smoking????
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye." - Miss Piggy
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.
good mothers let you lick the beaters - great mothers turn it off first
Apparently at least 4 bidders seem to value it
If you like it, then it may be worth it, but I'd be concerned about getting the correct needles for it...no point having it if it doesn't/can't sew.
I guess a REALLY serious collector would buy that sewing machine. I am not that serious $$ wise.
Sweet Caroline
Any thing's worth what its worth to you. If you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it and can't live without it, then pay whatever you feels is appropriate to get it. If you want to buy it for an investment, or resale, more research is probably needed.

Super nice job...!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It's lovely. FMQ scares me, but I know I'll have to dive in one day.
Looks very nice. Have only tried once to FMQ and have been quilting for many years. Usually I hand quilt or else send it out.
Be proud of yourself, it looks fabulous.
Mother yourself just as you would your own children, you will be surprised how much better you feel...Debbie Marie
Looks great to me. Personally, I have a hard time doing a meander that looks good.
nicely done
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
You have done a fantastic job! Love the fabrics and pattern.
It is very nice and will keep you warm.
This is wonderful!! Wow especially love the quilting!! Great job!
You're doing a great job! Love the quilt.

U would have to pay the $200 ATF fee for a short barrelled rifle, and get permission and fill out all the forms to put a butt stock on it.
Also, those Ar pistols are kewl. but I think U should look at the Keltec 556 pistol. Its just as kewl, and from what I understand, doesn't get as dirty internally as an AR.

Here is a nice article about Evan's recent SOI performance in LA in front of several of the DWTS cast members and pro dancers.
"Professional dancer Chelsie Hightower sang Evans praises afterwards."
He was amazing, Chelsie told In Touch after the show. I was freaking out and wanted to jump out of my seat!
Good luck tonight to Evan. Any predictions on who will win the coveted Mirror Ball trophy?

Figuring out a fish's traits then Selectively Breeding
2 Attachment(s)
Hello Everyone, this is a question i don't usually see a ton but when it comes up it seems like no one gives a complete answer, me included, so i figured i'd help with that in one thread. This thread will be on figuring out fish's traits using Mendelian Genetic's. But before i begin there are some key terms that need to be known...
Allele- Different Version's of a gene, they will be shown with letters, ex.) Aa
Dominant- An Allele that will always affect an organism's traits if present
Recessive- Only affects the organism's traits if in a pair, ex.) aa
Homozygous- 2 of the same Alleles
Heterozygous- 2 different Alleles
Genotype- The genetic make up of an organism, Ex.) Aa
Phenotype- The Physical appearence caused by the Alleles. Ex.) Widow's Peak
Ok, so now all the Vocab is done let's get to the good Part...
Figuring out an offspring's traits
To figure out an offspring's traits, first you need to observe the parents...
Parent A... Malehttp://www.mslivebearers.com/sitebui...s/snc12669.jpg Parent B... Female
Attachment 67442 Lets now say that male is Heterozygous for the color Allele, as well as the Female. so that would create a ratio that would look like this...
1:2:1 (Homozygous Dominant: Heterozygous: Homozygous recessive)
Lets now say the Homozygous recessive is the fish's offspring that yeilds a blue color, There would be about a 25% Chance of the offspring being blue, however this is a chance, so it may or may not be the way it happens. If you want to continue the blue trait in the offspring then you would want to breed 2 of the Homozygous recessive fish to give you a 100% chance of the entire next batch of fry to have the blue trait. However this could take several "experimental" groups, because being there only a 25% chance of getting the trait the offspring may not always have the desired Phenotype
What this means to you
By figuring out atleast some of this then you can know which fish to breed in order to have that specific trait. A lot of people know this as Selective Breeding, which it infact would be. This can be done to get traits such as longer fins, color, and patterns. Some of these traits can help bring in some good old $$$$, ecspecially if they are desired. I know of someone who is doing this with their Cherry barbs, it just so happens to be msjinkzd http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...=199765&page=3. msjinkzd has bred these cherry barbs to be redder and have longer fins, both of these traits are because of genes and recessive and dominant Alleles, and over time msjink has been able to figure out which ones to breed to get that trait. This has created a Cherry barb with very desireable traits that could and is desired, hint hint, wink wink ;). To continue to breed these cherry barbs to have these desired traits a female with the traits as well as a male would have to be bred, in this case the female wouldnt carry the Allele for a red color, so the male would need to carry either a Heterozygous or a Homozygous Dominant Allele for the Red Trait.
How to get these fish to want to breed
To get these fish with desireable traits to breed you obviously need them to be of the opposite Sex. With fish such as Cherry Barbs it is as easy as sticking the Opposite sex fish with the other with the desirable trait. With fish such as Angelfish and Rams that pair up it may be a bit more difficult to do, i can't help there.
Why does this one look different?
A fish in a batch of fry will sometimes look different. This is because of a Mutation. A mutation can occur to give the fish an advantage to survival or it can hinder a fish's ability to live. This is seen a lot in Evolution, ecspecially with animals. This is really seen the most in sea dwelling mammals such as Whales and Doplhins. They are believed to be descendents from land dwelling creatures that slowly lost it's land based legs in exchange for fins to swim. In this case it is a distinct advantage to the creature because it helps it survive in an aquatic environment.
Disclaimer: I have the knowledge base of a 10th grade Advanced Biology student so some of the information given in this thread may or may not coencide with the facts or some silly error could have been made (if one is found please let me know in a polite manner, i will fix it!), even though everything given in this thread has been taught to me by several teachers and even a college professor, however the professor dumbed it down a great deal in order for us to understand. I have attempted to create this thread in an easy to understnad way to try and increase knowledge about this topic. If you have anything you would like added PM me or add it as a response and ill be sure to get it in here. (The attatched image has nothing to do with the thread, it can be ignored, i had to change out the pictures)
Thanks for reading!
For the blue offspring example, you would "expect" to observe ~25% of the offspring to be blue (1/4 of the punnett square would be homozygous recessive bb) the other 75% is a mix of genotypes (50% heterozygous and 25% homozygous dominant), but will still give you the normal phenotype. To avoid confusion, I would probably put pictures of the parent being plain-colored, and the offspring blue (the way you have the pictures and wording presently implies that heterozygosity gives you the desired phenotype).
This is a great little "crash course" in Mendelian Genetics, though!:proud:
... or you could set up a lab, Grab a copy of Ugene
Scour the gene bank and libraries to get your sequences then get a cycler and sequencer from [Ebay Link Removed]
Then get into plasmids and start churning out frankenfish.
Be the new Craig Venter (with more hair) or Glofish
Awesome write-up :D This brings me back to when I took biology...before my physics days
I feel like the trickiest part is determining which genes are recessive vs. dominant. Well trickiest as in without experimentation. Do you know of any databases that have traits categorized and labeled for different species? I'm sure bettas and livebearers would be a fairly common topic.
i know with guppies and the crosses i did japanese blue was domanite over snake skin, and even blue moscow body color. 2 years i have worked on a line and no other body color ever showed up but jape blue. also from working with them dad always seems to carry body color where as mom carries fin colors. but i have only worked on one line so far. i do have another guppy idea in the makeing but im sure it will take me several more years or alot of work before i can even start that one lol
Too bad color and patterning is pretty much multilocus. What we have now is pretty much the closest we're getting for awhile. Much of breeding is just the shotgun approach and then inbreeding until you get a pure line.

A German Beekeeper who calls himself Franky has developed a novel way of preventing a prime swarm from heading off:
The system is based on a little metallic plate glued to the thorax of the queen and a magnetic bar fixed above the hive entrance.
As the queen leaves the hive she gets attached to the bar, the swarm won't leave. The beekeeper can collect the queen at his leasure when he comes to check the hive and use her to make an artificial swarm if he likes.
It's important to keep the hight of the entrance to 10 mm so that the queen will get attached to the magnet but the drones can still pass through.
Here's a video which illustrates how it works:
This so called Apinaut system is primarily intended for helping to find a marked queen in a busy colony, but I think it's great for those beekeepers who can't supervise their bees during the swarming season!

Discussion in 'March 2013' started by roscoe36, Oct 29, 2012.
For the benches sake...... Rodney needs to get injured again.
Please don't try to get around the forum language filters.
Sorry... I assumed that I was censoring myself. I didn't realize that was wrong.
Sometimes a big F-Bomb is the only way to describe Rodney S(t)uckey
Would that be "free throw," "failure," "fall," "floor," "force," or "Frank"?
Knight's tryout at sg is the most important thing going on right now. He's looking good on both ends of the court. Consistency isn't essential yet at his age. He's more trustworthy at the 2 so far and his mission is simpler. The pg stint has helped make him a better sg than he would have been otherwise. Monroe just has a good motor for his laid back off court personality. He's a little like love in the paint.
Knight is still our 2nd best point guard, and as such should be running our 2nd unit, not Bynum. Stuckey, in this system, has no role. Knight started the game ok, but struggled in his role as shooting guard much of the game. Here is a rotation that uses Knight just as a backup point guard. If it does not work out, hey, you can always pair up Knight with Calderon. Calderon, English, Middleton, Kravtsov, Monroe start. Knight, Singler, JJ, JMAX, (Monroe or Kravtsov playing some with 2nd unit.) This drops four guys out of the rotation or reduces theirs roles. JMAX, because he is simply too short in so many defensive rebounding situations and protecting the basket situations. Stuckey, simply because of numbers ahead of him at point guard, and he can't shoot a lick as a shooting guard. (He would be a good emergency guard though.) CV, just because he absolutely can't play D. And Bynum, because in so many instances the other team exploits how short he is. Note, I do have JJ in the backup small forward slot, but I imagine Middleton can play 40 minutes so JJ would not have a major role.
In what universe do you think Middleton can play 40 mpg at an NBA level?
I don't think he meant 40 minutes per game. He meant 40 minutes for the rest of the year. He has played 94 minutes in the first 62 games, so there is no reason to think he couldn't keep up that pace and play another 40 minutes in the final 20 games.
Having Stuckey as a good emergency guard is like having a screen door raft on the Titanic.
A screen door raft made of marble
If we're going nautical, then he's sort of our anchor.
"big three" ...LOL!
"Big," of course, being a relative term...
Our "better than average" three.
This Big Three would do better, especially in the playoffs. The Three Stooges
In what universe does CV get to play NBA ball, or JJ play power forward in the NBA. That one.
I hope Joe uses the amnesty on CV this summer. JJ still hasn't come back to his pre-injury form. We are on the hook for another 2 years of JJ at $4.5 million per. He needs to contribute something.
I'm not sure Jerebko can ever contribute enough to overcome not having a position. He doesn't create enough of a(any?) mis-match when he plays the 4. Maybe it could work with Drummond?
Pre-injury Jerebko: Dude "created a problem" by out-hustling opposing PFs and being too big and strong for opposing SFs. He had the quickness to check smaller players. Post Injury Jerebko: He's starting to turn into Austin Daye with a weak jumper. I like the kid and hope he finds his game again. I still think he can be a solid hustle-board guy off the bench against certain matchups. I'd like to see him piss-off other teams like Andres Nocioni used to (back when he was good).
Separate names with a comma.

One wonders how you are able to type with your hands crossed and tied in that straight jacket.
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I`d go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I`m now resigned to the fact that this won`t happen. -- Michael Strahan, just when you think you're down...
Because moving on from both would be the best thing for the franchise at this point. Eli has regressed- played like crap for over a year now. Coughlin's loyalty to his crap staff has gone on long enough. It's what have you done for me lately not what did you do for me several years ago!
The organization is certainly in a precarious position
Coughlin could be slipping due to age and being burnt out......but if he wants another season I think hes earned the benefit of the doubt to be given another shot to right this ship
But they also need a contingency. If the giants are below .500 by midseason next year it will be evident that something serious needs to be done. But the Maras would never embarass coughlin by firing him during the season. So the whole season will likely be a loss til Coughlin can retire/fired in the offseason
What choice do you make?
The coordinators undoubtedly need to go and its loooooooong overdue
Id love for cowher to replace coughlin. But I dont know if eli would like being slobbered on every time he throws an ibterception
Last edited by DSP; 12-08-2013 at 06:14 AM.
I think tc and Eli are fine... JR really needs to spent thos offseason planning his draft... The only think that will save anyone's coaching job on this team is OL... KG needs superior protection for his playbook and Eli needs it as we'll...
Otherwise I'd love to see KG go. This guy is a bum.
Go Giants!!!

The Rolling Romance of a Bike Date
Original post made by Janet Lafleur, Rex Manor, on Jun 20, 2013
Dick's day off from work was Friday, so that was an easy decision. I wanted the romance of him picking me up like a real date, so Dick offered to come by my workplace and get me. The twist: since I rode my bike to work, he would ride his bike too.
At the time I was working in Palo Alto, where a seemingly limitless choice of restaurants were a short ride from my office near the Baylands. That first Friday, I waited for him in front of my office building with all the excitement of any first date. When he rolled up I was tickled to see he was wearing a nice sweater and his going-out shoes. He had swapped the clip-in pedals on his bike for flat pedals just for our date.
We rode across the bike bridge over Hwy 101, rolled down to University Avenue for a relaxed and tasty Italian dinner, and then cruised home by the light of a full moon. With rush hour long over, the neighborhood streets were quiet and peaceful so we continued our dinner chat the whole way home.
It was a very romantic night.
That's why nearly three years later, we're still at what we now call Bike Date Friday. The rules are simple: we eat at a different restaurant every week and we arrive by bike. In the winter we grab heavy coats and bright lights. If it's drizzling, we grab our raincoats. And if it's raining hard, we grab a big umbrella and walk the mile to Castro Street.
Now that I work near the airport in San Jose and commute on Caltrain with my bike, our options have expanded. Sometimes we meet at the Diridon Caltrain station and eat in downtown San Jose. Sometimes we meet at the Mountain View Caltrain station and ride across town or to Palo Alto, Los Altos or Sunnyvale. And sometimes we meet on a northbound train for dining in San Carlos, San Mateo and beyond.
In three years, we have yet to exhaust all our dining options. Some restaurants have been better than others and some routes were more fun than others. But one thing's for sure: our dining rut is now a romantic roll.
Planning the Perfect Bike Date
For your first date, keep it simple and stay closer to home. Castro Street is a perfect destination since it's within three miles of home for almost every Mountain View resident. To make the bike ride a bigger part of the date, head across town or to a neighboring city. The map link below shows our preferred quiet neighborhood routes to destinations like University Avenue and Town & Country in Palo Alto, Murphy Avenue in Sunnyvale, downtown Los Altos, and more.
More Tips for Bike Dates
* Choose a calm route, even if it takes longer, so you can chat. It's a date, not a race to get to work on time.
* If you ride slowly you won't sweat much, so can wear nicer clothes if you like. I love riding in dresses.
* Bring front and rear lights for evening dates, even now when the sun doesn't go down until 8:30 pm. Dinner may take longer than you think and it would be a shame to have to skip dessert to beat the sunset.
About Bike Lights. To ride legally and safely at night, you need: a front light that's visible from the front and side at 300 feet away; a red reflector visible from the rear; and white or yellow reflectors on your wheels and pedals, shoes or ankles. A red rear light is very highly recommended. I also installed amber spoke lights to make my bike more visible from the side. Don't forget that people out walking don't have headlights to hit the reflectors.
Have you ever gone out on a date on a bike? If so, where did you go? If not, where would you go?

Or you could just drive.

@alan We occasionally drive on our dates, like a concert in Los Gatos a couple of weeks ago that was out of biking or transit range. But it's really not as much fun for us as when we ride our bikes, walk, or take the train. The moderate activity before and after dinner feels really good.
And besides, Drive Date Friday doesn't have a nice ring to it.

I just wasted 2 minutes of my life reading this, and probably 2 more responding. Who cares? You have a job you say? And still find time to write this article? When you worked in Palo Alto you said you crossed over 101, did you work in east palo? Or just dine there? Cause I'm sure the latter would make for a better article.

@Sean My office was near the corner of East Bayshore and Embarcadero Roads, behind Ming's Chinese Restaurant and Anderson Honda. That's definitely Palo Alto even though it's the bay side of Hwy 101.
You reminded me that we never made it out to the Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto. From my office it would have been a very pleasant ride along San Francisquito Creek on Edgewood Drive and Woodland Avenue. The restaurant is on the spendy side, though. It's probably a more appropriate place for us to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

I live in SF. My wife and I don't have a car. We enjoy pub. transit only dates. This winter we took the Marin Stage (GG Transit) to Stinson Beach for 2 nights at an Inn. The feeling of arriving by bus and waiting for the return somehow made it feel far away. With no car we could only hike nearby. We were more in tune with the place than if we were darting around in a car. We talked to people and watched the night fall on the beach. You can do all these things with a car, but somehow it's better without. Kick the gasoline habit people, act like you're on vacation where you live, you will feel better.

@Anthony Your trip sounds very relaxing. I love the Marin coast. Have you stayed overnight in Tiburon before? Dick and I went for his birthday last year and had a great time.
We took Caltrain to San Francisco with our bikes and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge to our hotel in the center of town. That night we walked along the bay to The Caprice for his birthday dinner. We took the ferry back to San Francisco so you could do the whole trip on bus/foot/ferry.

Great ideas! My husband and I are always going somewhere on our bikes together but usually it's a mad dash to meet him somewhere or we're off to the train to go up to the city. You remind me to slow down and make the journey a romantic get-away. Tonight we're off on short ride to met friends - I'll try to remember to leave little early and enjoy the ride with my sweetie!

What's with the negative responses from the first two people? Geez. If you don't like the subject matter, move along.
While I don't bike myself, I like the ideas you put out there. Sometimes the best part of the date is the journey itself (walking, biking, "scenic" drive).

@Winona Sometimes we end up hurrying on our way to dinner too. Like when we have a reservation in Palo Alto and we forget that there's a strong prevailing headwind from Mountain View in the summer. But I don't know that we've ever hurried on our way home. There's something about riding after rush hour that keeps you from rushing.
@GSB Thanks for the support, especially as someone who doesn't bike herself. The journey is part of the activity indeed. We sometimes do motorcycle dates, say up to Alice's on Skyline or Duarte's in Pescadero. But those are more for daytime because I don't like riding the motorcycle at night.

I haven't been to the Marxist coast in a long time. But it's good to know there is a bus that will take socialists there.

Some great ideas. Even with non date dinner gatherings its a blast to ride. We've left as a group from our place; 6 or so. There is a special kind of fun slowly rolling home on a warm summer night, laughing with friends after a great dinner. Regarding the topic of dates, will someone please get these cranky negative people a date? Sounds like they need one :)

As some of you have read in the press, a couple of our team members had a bit of an unfortunate end for the Frankfurt shooting trip, and many of you are worried.
So, to keep rumours from running amok, here's what happened.
Long story short, we were spending the last night in Germany in a small bar after a sushi lunch, chatting about the last 1,5 months in Frankfurt and what to expect for the coming Australian shoot. I left the bar earlier that night, lucky me, since soon after I was gone, the police attacked the bar, dragged some of our crew members out, beat the shit out of them and then left without an explanation.
Thanks, guys. What the hell?
Here's what happened: the remaining three troopers of Iron Sky crew (we specifically do not want to reveal their names – so even if you know who we are talking about, please don't shout their names to the net) were sipping their drinks in the wee hours of morning, when suddenly the door was slammed open, and four or so coppers and police dogs rushed in. They grabbed our team members very damn brutally, and manhandled them out on the street, smashing the Australian guy face first into the concrete. Then they handcuffed him, and started kicking him while he was on the ground. The other guy – a Finn – tried to stop them and find out what was going on, but he was put down on this knees, and when he tried to get up, the last thing he remembers is a police coming at him fast, before he woke up in an ambulance with a headwound.
After the police had more or less kicked everyone's arse, they told the guys to go to the ambulance that had appeared in the scene. And then they left.
So, they charged in, beat the shit out of our guys and left. No charges, no reasons, no explanation. Just random act of violence.
Not surprisingly, we're pissed off. We had great time in Frankfurt, wonderful shoot and everything, and then a bunch of cops come and ruin the whole thing.
Anyway. We're all OK now, but it did leave a sour taste for the Frankfurt shoot. We're figuring out with a German lawyer the ways to proceed in order to get some justice – or at least some kind of an explanation – but given that the cops are most likely not going to admit they did anything wrong, and there was quite a heap of them, it might be quite hard. When there is a problem with the police, there's always the risk that the incident will get buried. We now hope that the resulting publicity will make the Frankfurt police investigate this incident properly.
EDIT: We were asked by our German lawyer to take down the photos of the injuries. Legal action is now underway. We will return the images when we get an okay from our lawyer.
Tl;dr: German police beat the shit out of Iron Sky team members; everyone's OK, but damn pissed off.

Rush Soccer is very happy to officially announce its newest international partner: K-Town Rush (Germany). Located in Kaiserslautern, K-Town Rush is our first and only Rush partner club in Europe, and also the first Rush club in Germany. K-Town Rush Soccer, named after the city of Kaiserslautern, is located close to the Raimstein Airbase and has an American population of over 70,000, most of them from the military forces.
K-Town, managed by Mr. David Muller, was founded two years ago and the club has been growing rapidly since its inception. 20 K-Town Rush players already have joined the Youth Program of some German Premiere League clubs such as 'FC Kaiserslautern' and 'TSG 1899 Hoffenheim'. "Our club has been continually growing for the last couple of years and has become a well-known academy for talent development in the southwest of Germany," describes Manager Director David Muller. "We believe that cooperating with Rush Soccer is the next step in our growth process in order to offer our players the possibility of playing at every level," he adds.
K-Town Rush Soccer is commanded by Axel Roos, a well-known former Bundesliga player (F.C. Kaiserslautern) with an impressive resume. President Axel Roos holds two national titles and a German 'Supercup' as a player. He also served as a coach for the Albanian Men's National Team and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
"Partnering with such an organized and talented club will bring so many new possibilities to the table. Gaining exposure in Europe is a very important step for the Rush and I am sure that this agreement will benefit both organizations in many ways", says Rush Soccere Director of International Affairs Alex Amell Robredo.
President for Rush Soccer Tim Schulz is also excited about having our newest member onboard: "This is a big step for our corporation. With this first Rush club in Germany we have entered the territory of one of the biggest football nations in the world. Especially close to such a large American population. I am elated. We are going to do good things together."
Welcome to the Rush Family K-Town Rush!


text: Phil was on B & C this morning to discuss the issue and he was pretty candid about it. He said he gave his opinion and realized as he was saying it that it would get blown up and cause people to lose their s. He considered for a quick second retracting but didn't because it was his opinion. He also discussed the word Elite and how this is not a term that was used in the NFL up until recently. Before Elite QBs were either Franchise or not. He said Eli is a Franchise QB. Elite almost makes it sound superhero-like. I didn't get to hear the whole thing so i don't know if they asked him who he considered Elite in the league.
