Sizing up

There once was a Seinfeld episode where a midget actor "sized up" by wearing lifts in his shoes. I just heard Mel Kuyper go on and on about concerns over Robert Griffith III only being 6'0". My question is threefold...

1. How hard would it be to make a cleat that gives a player an extra inch or inch and a half of height?

2. Would it greatly affect said player's ability to run and maneuver?

3. Would this be legal by NFL rules?

why don't we make the glove finger tips longer with some type of flesh covered rigid polycarbonate, so their hands appear bigger, and they can cover 450% more area than the un-super-glove equipped receiver? surely roger would approve
James Harrison got... nevermind...

      Canes vs Blues 5pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Based on the NHL cap today ($88M), the Canes have $22.9M in projected space going into the 25-26 season. Seems to be a consensus the cap will increase to $92.5M next season, but let's not assume. The core of this team is locked up for a couple more years, with the only UFAs at the end of this season: Roslovic, Fast, Robinson, Jost, with Orlov and Burns on D. Remember Seth Jarvis's contract? Remember the press it got because the Canes found a loophole that allowed them to get his contract under the cap by using "deferred salary?" Yeah, don't expect that won't be addressed by the league and that loophole closed. That being said, if the Canes decide to sign Necas long term, they should do it next season and they'll probably need to pay him Aho level money- close to $10M a year. Let's assume the team gets through the season without any career or long term injury concerns. And, let's be honest in the conversation. Does Jesper Fast have a place on this team right now or have we found the right combination on the ice that he may not be needed?  Does Brent Burns retire, or will he decide to stay another year? If so, there's a 1-year thank you for your service $6M deal.  If Roslovic shows out this year, that's gonna be a pretty big contract compared to the 1-year, $2.8M he's getting now. He may command around $4.5 - 5M to stay. So, those 2 guys are gonna cost you $11M. Get Necas a new deal at $10M, you're up to $14.5M of the $22.9M in space. So you've got about $8.4M to work in Orlov and Robinson, which is do-able. Plenty of room to work deals and keep every one of the UFAs if the Canes so desire.

      BYE Week poll: Do you think Morgan and Canales are headed in the right direction?

      Dan is doing a fine job, however, I'm not sold on Canales. I think he needs to give up play-calling duties, but I also realize that this wasn't an easy fix.
