I read that yesterday. That is crazy high. Most of us mortal humans would be comatose or possibly dead at .30-.35In other (ex) 49er news, Aldon Smith reported to the San Francisco Sheriff’s department to get fittted for an ankle monitor last week...and blew a .40 on the BAC. That is an insane number. I couldn’t report to the toilet, much less the sheriff’s department.
Apparently the Seahawks cancelled Kaep's visit when he wouldn't confirm he would stop kneeling for the anthem

Former (and I suppose sort of current) NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez will be suspended for the first four games of the 2018-19 NFL season after testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance.
Sal Palantonio breathes a sigh of relief.
Jimmy Graham's new 3/$30M contract made him #1, but Olsen (2/$17.1M) can make a few more bucks by reaching all incentives (bringing him up to 2/$20.1M).Panthers signed Greg Olsen to a 2-year extension worth up to $20.1 million. That would make him the highest paid TE in the NFL. Wonder what Gronk thinks of this.
So...7 picks in first 3 rounds next year, right?http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/09/patriots-rams-in-good-shape-for-2019-compensatory-picks/
Two third round picks likely coming Pats’ and Rams’ way.
The more fodder for draft days’ angst ridden game threading, the better.
6. We traded the 2019 3rd to Cleveland for Shelton and a 2018 5th.So, when is Dez going to sign?
So...7 picks in first 3 rounds next year, right?
1st round: Patriots
2nd round: Patriots, Bears
3rd round: Patriots, Lions, Compensatory #1, Compensatory #2
Plenty of draft capital to go get a solid player during training camp should the opportunity arise.
Ah, good catch. 6 is still quite good.6. We traded the 2019 3rd to Cleveland for Shelton and a 2018 5th.
I know it's kind of "black box", but I thought thew formula was heavily weighted to contract and playing time? I know there's post season awards they take into account, but given what they paid him, I have a hard time seeing Vrabel benching him.Any free agents signed from here on out do not impact the comp pick formula so if the Pats sign a safety or Dez Bryant or something it should not take away from the comp pick haul. That said, the performance of the players we lost in next year does impact the formula. So if Butler really under-performs next year, we might not get two 3rd round comp picks as projected. Also, only 32 comp picks are issued in total. So we may not be given the later round comp picks that are projected to come to us.
It's not really clear if the performance criteria is meant to protect teams who sign an expensive free agents where the free agent is a bust or if it is meant to reward teams who lost a free agent to a cheap contract where the player goes on to become a star.I know it's kind of "black box", but I thought thew formula was heavily weighted to contract and playing time?

Still shaking my head over his leaving Wisconsin. Our gain, I guess.Former Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema has continued to work for the Patriots after the draft. Look for him to be involved with coaching duties as the team begins its rookie minicamp tomorrow.
Doubtful, since Bielema has never coached on that side of the ball, he's always been a D-line, DC. It might be an indication of plan of succession on the defensive side of the ball or at least adding another coach while some duties are shifted to accommodate the lack of DC. Everyone assumes that Flores eventually moves to DC, which could lead to Brandon Daly moving to LB coach. Regardless, Flores is going to be adding some responsibility and they will probably need to shuffle duties, so adding a coach with high level experience on the defensive side of the ball makes sense, even if just for a year.Dante replacement?
From that article:Someone needs to take Lane Johnson aside, remind him that he won.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23513629/lane-johnson-philadelphia-eagles-fed-new-england-patriots-arrogance
Ordway and his three Neanderthals, Sheppard, DeOssie and Smerlas, maybe, but that’s it. But Johnson wouldn’t know about them, and they are so remote in time in any case.- - -
Ok, so first off....where has ANYONE EVER said that everyone else is supposed to do things the way the Patriots do them? Nobody. Ever. Certainly not the Patriots. You can't find a quote ever of a a Patriot player or coach saying that other teams should do things the way the Pats do. That's just idiocy.
49ers Linebacker Reuben Foster (he of the draft slide based on "character concerns") was indicted today on felony domestic assault, felony forcible attempt to prevent reporting of a crime, felony possession of an assault weapon and misdemeanor possession of a large capacity magazine.
49ers have said that they're going to "monitor" the situation and that he's expected to attend camp.
One or more persons in that (former) couple is a pathetic excuse of their gender.
Ouch. One of the most underutilized players the last couple of years.Huge loss for the Chargers. Hunter Henry tore his ACL today.
I dunno how likely it was that he would be picked up after being released from the Bills. I doubt this will help him out all that much going forward.We spoke with the alleged victim who tells us Incognito first threw a tennis ball at him for no reason — before grabbing a dumbbell and heaving that as well.
The alleged victim says Incognito was rambling about the government and screaming at the man to “get off my f*cking playground.”
Law enforcement confirms cops were called to the gym and met with Incognito.
I disagree. I think time spent in a psych ward could be very beneficial to Incognito.I doubt this will help him out all that much going forward.
Fair point. I should've been a tad bit more specific.I disagree. I think time spent in a psych ward could be very beneficial to Incognito.
He officially "retired" but almost immediately made rumblings about coming back under a re-negotiated contract. The Bills ultimately decided to release him from the reserve / retired list, so he is a FA.I thought I remember hearing that he retired a few months ago. Did I make that up?
