^^ He had to see the writing on the wall on that one. He'll latch on somewhere probably. His starting days are over but he can probably stretch his career out as a second or third stringer for a few more years.

Not surprised to see NE sign Tebow, I expected this move since the guy that drafted him is the OC and QB coach there. Josh just asked Bill if he could have his project back.

Dumb move on Johnson's part. Can't disrespect a courtroom.

Baltimore Ravens will look to trade Vonta Leach or release him, source says - ESPN

This is one of those guys who just wins. Move Rice 10 spots down on your draft board.

I really like this because we are going to see immediately just how smart that Flacco contract was...the affect on the team already has been tremendous. If the team wins and Flacco is good, he will deserve a ton of praise, but if he is even average to above average, team average he will deserve everything that is coming his way.

Ehh..I mean I wouldn't go that far. You really think so? So if you had the option of keeping Matt Ryan, Doug Martin and Ray Rice, you'd keep...?

I wouldnt keep either. Ryan and Rice rank around the same in terms of their position...probably upper 2nd tier rankings for both.

flacco cap hit this season is the same as last yr (7 mil?) so the current purge is not all bc of flacco's new contract . . in 2 yrs his cap hit is over 20 mil (i think).

the ravens have ngata and suggs contracts to figure out in a year or so . . i could see them letting both walk.

So Joe will he serve 30 days then? Also, could she have suspended time...say 25 days, 29 days?

My guess is the 30 days are set - but I am not sure. It's different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but I think any appeal to shorten would be through the judge. However, really not my area.

As to what she could or could not do - Generally, judges can do pretty much whatever they want. If their actions are too outrageous, they may be sanctioned later. So, yeah, she could have probably suspended it - or lengthened it - if the mood struck her. Instead, she essentially went with the safest course by going with what had already been decided and simply rejecting the plea deal. In essence, she just reaffirmed a prior ruling and did not insert her own contempt finding.

Very simple rule - Don't f*** around in front of a Judge. Judge's come in all temperments and levels of intelligence. Regardless of whether they are smart, stupid, a**holes or nice, they can all lock you away or fine you - and will - if you do something they deem contemptous. Even if they are way out of line, your our only recourse is to file motions and hope you have a good lawyer who will get things reviewed quickly. Even then, no guarrantee you get released. If they tell a bailiff to lock you up, you will spend time in jail.
