Nah. She's good enough. If they just have to make yet another change, just don't renew and when her contract expires, go find a fiscally responsible replacement.

I don't know she should be fired or not. She's not bad. She recruits well, in the post season regularly etc. She's just not 8 national titles good.

But if we do, as a fan why should we care about being fiscally responsible?

If you want lady Vols basketball back to that type of standard, year in, year out, then fiscally responsible can't be the priority in replacing Kelly.

Just my .02..

For us old-timers, Bobby Majors was a pretty good punt returner.

He did something I am surprised more players do not incorporate today. He would get under the ball, then move 2-3 steps either right or left and wait for the ball to come down, then catch it and take off. This would allow him to out-maneuver the first line of defense and he would be on his way.

Pretty cool to watch.

Some guy named Willie Gault was a pretty good punt and kick off returner at Tennessee

Rumors are Cowboys aren't going to use the Franchise tag this off season.

Also individuals saying Pollard ends up in Washington with Dan Quinn.

Franchise tag needs to be reworked in the next collective bargaining. Only serves to wreck relationships currently. I’ve always advocated (tho unrealistically) that the franchise tag should be an honor where the franchise is only able to utilize it on an exclusive choice and fully guaranteed for the length of that specific contract…without it counting against the salary cap. But you couldn’t slap it on another player the next season. That would stop the silly season where you use it to reign in your All-Pro DE one season and sign him, then place it on your placekicker the next. The majority of teams would utilize it on their franchise QB after their rookie contract runs out, but it would be a SOUGHT designation. It would involve growing pains and hits and misses and risk…but it would validate the true spirit of the tag. That’s your FRANCHISE player! You could sign Dak to his $60 mil per fully guaranteed. If you sign him for five and he blows his knee out five seconds into mini-camp then you have five years to await your next franchise player. Would allow teams to build around a vital player without wrecking their cap, but you’d need to choose wisely. Never expect it to happen but damn good solution imo.

They’ll overpay for a good player but he’s highly replaceable.

What if it starts raining while he's at work? Or what if he goes by the forecast and the forecast is wrong? Does he/she have a deathly fear of precipitation? Did they ever spend time in a Turkish prison?

No, just if it's raining or snowing when they would normally be start the work day.

I also can't stand how people have their dogs locked up in the house or in a cage all the time. No big dogs unless they can run around freely on my land.

I have a very big dog and I have the best exerciser thing ever. It is a really long tennis ball launcher. He generally roams causally around the farm until he sees I have the ball thrower and he loses it. He will chase that damn ball forever, he is a running fool. I have to stop (he wouldn't) to prevent him from having a heart attack.

Did Cordarelle Patterson return kicks? . .

Tough. CP was "better" but Evan Berry has a better body of work.

Thank you, Mrs. Marsha! Go Tennessee!!!

LOL at the radio guy being at staff meetings and participating in arguments with coaches. These rumors are ridiculous.

They’re glorious! Whose side are you on?

Attacking other dogs that do not put those dogs in any harm like “yorkie” then yea bro can’t blame owners…I could understand if you said “dogs are unpredictable” towards other dogs that they’ve never been around thats fair…but I was the owner of all 3 and they were separated for a reason and that reason was exposed…nothing I could have done differently other than make sure the door was shut and locked..those German shepherd’s weren’t the dogs I knew after that…

The shepherds were the same dogs they had always been...your perception of them and what they were capable of is what changed.

Dogs don't understand abstract things like "don't pick on little dogs" is all I am saying.

I agree with what you did though, dangerous dogs do need to be either put down or heavily controlled.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

sounds pretty judgmental, for most part.

Agree on the affirming violent behaviour that was dumb. I believe law states a dog can we put down for that.

Sounds like you are the one being judgemental...what he said is just common sense good judgement.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Can’t (legally) request their euthanasia. Fret not. The baby will live to devour toddlers.

That was not what I was saying....if they can't control the dog, then it needs to be removed from being a danger to others.

Other than adoption fees from a stray shelter (usually is for the medical stuff), I will never pay for an animal. There’s too many animals that need adoption to go buy one.
Huge fan of adoption.
3 cats and 3 dogs currently (found or adopted)

Unfortunately, my dogs found 2 dead little skunks in our backyard and I am getting the skunk oil off as we speak.

Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and Dawn dishwashing detergent will completely remove the skunk oil FYI.

That does work pretty good, but if your pet gets a direct blast nothing and I mean nothing will completely remove that smell. It takes a lot of time. We nearly washed the hair off our poor dog when he took a point blank blast from a skunk. It was so strong I was nearly tossing cookies just trying to wash him.

I owned a Pit for a short time when i was younger but that is a breed that i can’t believe anyone is willing to own… I knew an elderly woman that had raised two pits…. She started her mower… it scared them and they pulled her off the mower and ate the woman’s face. I, also, knew a dog trainer that was working with other dogs when his Pit got out and charged trying to protect his owner from the other dog but instead bit through his owners arm. It was completely severed…. Count me out when it comes to that breed of Dog.

Never thought I would own a pit or pit mix until we got our most recent dog. He is a sweetheart and I don't think he would hurt a fly on purpose. That being said, he is very powerful and if instinct kicked in could really hurt someone. This is true for all breeds though. Big and small. We know a family that had a very small breed dog that didn't like the way one of the kids was interacting with it one time and it bit her multiple times in the face requiring several surgeries. Dogs have deep rooted instinctual behaviors that we don't tend to respect as much as we should. All dogs were once wild a fully have the capability to be wild within them. We never know what will bring the wild out, so it is important to treat dogs with the respect they deserve.
