Particularly when a team has a very strong running game, with Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. @ Evan - yes, you are correct about the rule with respect to players on the DL. The downside, though, is that you could have added a prospect to the 40 man to protect him from the rule 5 draft.

I can understand that an athlete can't let go, but sheez, make your decision sooner. The Phillies made a shrewd move recently. They promoted a guy to their 40 man roster just before the deadline for players to be eligible for the postseason. The wrinkle is that this guy is on the 60 day DL, with no hope of returning this year. There is a rule, though, that allows a team, just prior to the postseason, to replace a player on the DL with any player who is in the organization at the deadline at the end of August. So, the Phils gave themselves some flexibility to add any player in the organization to the postseason roster, so long as that guy was in the organization as of a few days ago. That's how they got J.A. Happ on the postseason roster last year. .-= Evan Kline´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/40tech/~3/z4_6bEzepJg/" rel="nofollow">How to Secure Evernote on a Shared Computer</a> =-.

I could do that!' As NFL fans know, RB Adrian Peterson is the offensive star of the team. Brett Favre, you either like him or can't stand him. Even with all his antics, I like the guy. His performance in the 2003 Monday Night Football blowout against the Oakland Raiders is still my favorite MNF game. I will always root for Favre. Looks like the Vikings will take the NFC North again this year and make the playoffs. One of the more exciting teams to watch. You don't know what you're missing!
