These were the
I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.

"Easy ones"
Don’t know why that broke like that.

Released from the IR...
That’s when you know there is no room for you.

I didn't know that was possible
That seems kinda wrong

Me neither...
And I totally agree. I didn’t think Frazier had even an outside shot of making this team, but to cut a guy while hurt seems off to me. Just another reason I’m glad I don’t have to make that decision.

They cut Tuff Harris that way, IIRC...

they
have to have some type of injury settlement
Steelers football is supposed to be 60 mins, recently it's been 45. The additional 15 are currently under construction.

It probably came with a check. They give “injury settlements” for that type of thing, I think. I mean, it wasn’t like hitting the lottery, but when they drop you from IR I think they give you more than a bus ticket home.

Yep
They have to come to an arrangement with the player so he was released with salary. It was probably at his request because if his injury is not season-ending, then he has a chance to sign with another team when he’s healthy. Maybe even us, you never know…
Dick, what would Woody (Hayes) say to you now: "He'd say, 'LeBeau, get your hair cut.'"
I did not think you could get cut if you were hurt.
That’s what Antonio Bryant is accusing the Bengals of doing to him.

I'm so pissed off
I can’t believe they cut Brandon Renkart. Mark my words, the Steelers are going to rue the day. There is no way he doesn’t get picked up by another team. No effing way!
What is so good about him?
Seriously, I never heard of the guy until today. Or, are you just being sarcastic?

Have you met Worldtrip?
I believe he’s referring to the normal reaction to fans when we cut people.

I assumed it was meant for comic effect
How do I break it to the cat that since he has been declawed, the rabbit he sees in our backyard would kick his sorry butt?

When he's serious
he uses multiple explanation points.
To try and then fail, is not unacceptable. But failing to try, is accepting failure.
so, from your point of view, were the people that reacted that way when vrabel was cut just stupid fanatic homers?
You two are funny...
Is it that you guys are too similar to be on the same internet? I don’t get it. Can’t we all just get along? (TWRKS)

i think it just appears we’re too similar… and if we are as similar as it appears, then he enjoys butting heads as much as i do
Tears of pride.

Of course not.
1st, I heard of Vrabel well before he was cut, 2nd, I thought he was very good, 3rd, I was one of those people who overreacted to Vrabel being cut, and 4th, I was only asking because I assumed Trip had some solid inside information on the kid that the rest of didn’t. Trip might not say things in the nicest possible manner, but the comments are usually rather insightful and well informed. Finally, the written word lacks inflection and I’m, apparently, not that quick on the uptake, so I thought I’d ask if he was being serious or sarcastic.
I'm your huckleberry
I was being sarcastic, but not because I was making fun of anybody. I just thought it would be funny to take what I perceived to be the most obscure player and overreact.
Well, ok, perhaps I was making a little bit of fun of last years Redman reaction. But just a little.
i thought you were making fun of the off season reactions in general, which means your point is that these players are irrelevant anyway and an overreaction in that manner is uncalled for… which in the situation of vrabel, would such a reaction be called for? or is it impossible to really predict he would go on to be as good as he was.
i guess the question is (in reference to vrabel), is a fanatic’s screams any more valid because the player goes on to do something? or is it just a lottery pick that a fan happened to scream about
ironically enough this is the second time in this one nest of comments that you have missed written words that were intended with inflection
