Zero. RT @Kanadianm2k: @jeffduncantp Any chance of getting Asomugha? That'd be sick!

jeffduncantp Jeff Duncan

Sean Payton definitely does. Club's hands are tied b/c of cap. RT @WhoDatPrinces44: @jeffduncantp does anyone really want reggie to stay?

jeffduncantp Jeff Duncan

Sure. But comes down to $$$. I think another team will outbid #Saints. RT @JazminGalaviz: you think there's a possibility of keeping reggie?

jeffduncantp Jeff Duncan

Good player, but wouldn't be a top priority. RT @spm6110: @jeffduncantp If we lose Reggie via trade/cut, would Brad Smith be a good option?

AlbertBreer Albert Breer

Caveat to earlier tweet ... 16 of 32 teams went away to camp in 2010. But that's counting the Packers, who really just go down the street.

AlbertBreer Albert Breer

Jets 2nd team to move home b/c of lockout, following Ravens. Last year: 16/16 split on teams who went away vs. those staying home for camp.

AlbertBreer Albert Breer

Reality for Jets -- They have a TON of free agent business to do when doors open. Doing that remotely 200 miles from home wouldn't be ideal.

Next weekend is Fourth of July weekend, right? OK. Because for some reason, it's 55 degrees today in Boston.

Told that talks between NFL Owners and Players continue by phone. Working groups on rookie pay, accounting issues, etc.

And so we, and Terrelle Pryor, wait. RT @gregaiello: No date yet for supplemental draft.

RT @LarenZu: if lockout ends & training camp begins, will you do bus tour like last yr? ... Lockout casualty this yr; expected back next yr.

Maybe MARY JANE will load up and pass the PEACE PIPE around the conference room and they’ll all get happy in a big hurry, which might just help speed up the process. - HansDat

No clue.

Why do I need to download software to see Drew’s pics of deep fried butter?

Good question.

Why do I even want to see deep fried butter?

Because it sounds wrong but oh so good.

Is this some sort of plug?

Seems like it to me.
