According to my sources very close to the Evander Kane situation, they are confident that a deal could be done in 24 hours and maybe as little as six hours. #nhl #hockeytwitter


Now that is interesting

(waits for 1 year 1 mil with bruins signing)

Rask is back with the Bruins, 1 year $1 million

Wonder what the plan is there

Pro-rated, he'll make just over $500,000.

They could probably put Swayman on the taxi squad, but then he's not playing much, if at all.

try 30 seconds

Bizarre to me that the top two QBs to come out of 2012 retired (RG3 unofficially) in their primes.

RG3 had his injury issues which really derailed his career

Luck did retire out of nowhere though

Shanahan and Washington's management destroyed RG3's career by allowing him to play with a shredded knee in the playoffs when they had drafted Cousins the same year, for exactly that scenario.

I'll never forget posters on the old Buffalo Bills message board who were ok with giving up several years worth of firsts to move up for RG3.

I wouldn't tip as much.

If he takes the speedo off and puts it in his mouth, then I'm all in.

beyond stupid on their part

It’s old, but holds just as true now as it did in 1984…. The even sadder part is of the 545 from 1984, how many are STILL a member of the 545… I’ll venture a guess, too damn many!

545 people are responsible for the mess, but they unite in a common con

(This column was originally published in the Orlando Sentinel on Feb. 3, 1984.)

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the constitutional authority to vote n appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. The Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy. the Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of 238 million- are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Bank because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.

I exclude all of the special interest and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.

No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Don't you see now the con game that is played on the people by the politicians? Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. they cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of Tip O'Neill, who stood up and criticized Ronald Reagan for creating deficits.

The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept. it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating appropriations and taxes. O'Neill is speaker of the House. He is the leader of the majority party. He and his fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto.

Just 545 Americans have fouled up this great nation.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 235 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted - by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility.

I can't think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those people.

When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise complete power over the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in Lebanon, it's because they want them in Lebanon.

There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take it.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical force like "the economy," "inflation" or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people and they alone are responsible. They and they alone have the power. they and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided they have the gumption to manage their own employees.

@stripes77 Let the blocking begin..... please save us all from this gawbage

RG3 had his injury issues which really derailed his career

Luck did retire out of nowhere though
- Stripes77

Luck made his money and had some injury issues of his own. He realized he didn’t want to ruin his body and continue to play. Good on him if you ask me.

I’ll bet more comparable to this:
