Yas on Smoke Screen: "Marty Hurney...doesn’t have time for games"

[bleys]

Or, did he set up a smoke screen by making us all think that he paid Yas to write a report on not setting up smoke screens, when in fact, Hurney never actually talked to Yas.

We've all be Inception'd.

I told myself I wouldn't go to sleep...

[cdandi1]

Hurney paid Yas to write that..

So basically he smokescreened the smokescreen..holy sh%t.

Hurney's gonna bring Jake back for 36 million a year

That would be illegal. Cruel and unusual punishment for all Panthers fans.

It's obvious mind games and psychology are essential parts to business management and personnel decisions.

He may not have time for games, but blowing smoke up everyone's ass is definitely his style. That's how he's worked every draft. It would be foolish to assume this one is any different.

In this day and age you don't have to work very hard.

A few years back three or four of ESPN's experts were firmly convinced we were trading up for Matt Ryan based essentially on Hurney saying something nice about him one time (and their own perceptions of what we needed). Said experts blew a gasket on air when it didn't happen.

Smokescreens spontaneously generate (kind of like coat hangers).

So basically he smokescreened the smokescreen..holy sh%t.

[CarolinaKat]

I just want to say I agree with the title

[CRA]

any time there is a story written directly about there not being a smokescreen.....that pretty much means there is a smokescreen. DUH!

[OchoNueve]

I think the proper phrase is "Secondhand Smoke-screen"

[MadHatter]

Same thing I was thinking for them to MEET Newton three times. To waste their time and his if he wasn't a true candidate for the #1 pick.

Or, they have many questions about Newton and are trying to do as much due diligence as possible to get comfortable with them.
