Atlanta snapped him up, that was a good pick up for them. Their defense got shredded by Green Bay in the playoffs last year.

What the hell is Minnesota thinking?

In the other hand, Atlanta's receiving corps might be the best in the league, along with the chiefs and new england.

I think Green Bay's receiving corps is right up there too.

I think Minny has had a rough offseason. Losing Rice and Edwards hurt and they didn't do much else other than sign McNabb and they better hope that works out.

Have to strongly disagree on the Falcons receiving core. Colts, Packers, Saints and perhaps even the Cowboys and, dare I say, Jets, have a better receiving core. Could've added Ravens to the mix with Boldin, Mason, TJ and Heap, but Mason and Heap were cut. From a purely statistical stand point for 2010 for yards per game, Falcons were in the middle. By that standard, though, the Jets and Ravens shouldn't be considered. Julio Jones has a lot of potential. Personally, I wouldn't mind a Michael Crabtree type of performance, being a Saints fan and all ;)

Arizona has Heap now, and I don't think the Ravens are bringing back Mason.

You can't count out the Texans receiving corps with Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels. Jacoby Jones is decent too, never been a fan of Kevin Walter though.

I like how quietly the Rams have been adding since the draft. Mike Sims-Walker it's a good receiver that should thrive with the Rams. At first I thought it would be the Pats the team trying to sign him.

BTW Matrix: Im not reading anything about Braylon Edwards signing up with the Falcons. Quite the contrary, it seems he will join the cards (That would be phenomenal).

Randy Moss is retiring. Shame really, ending his career on such a bad note.

It's truly a shame because he's really talented. After the incident in Minnesota, the only team to try and pick him up were the Titans. The Titans told him they wouldn't be resigning him.

By now, someone else would've picked him don't you think? Maybe he didn't want to remain a free agent, so he decided to retire? That's what I'm thinking...

From Jason LaConfora:

Randy Moss was gonna be selective about teams/QBs that made sense. Looks like right options did not develop. Wish him the best in retirement

Oh I was talking Ray Edwards, my bad :p

Can't say I'm surprised about Moss retiring. He probably had a few teams he wanted to play for and they didn't give him the deal he wanted, but he'll be in the HOF for sure.

Don't worry the Dolphins might still get Orton NFL Network is saying. They still might circle back and get him around the first week of pre-season.

I do understand your concern though, Matt Moore? Ouch.

I might pick up Daniel Thomas in fantasy as my 3rd back now though :p

Your optimism alone will help me get through this season. Lol!

Thanks for the cheer up.

Np, good to hear! :)

You can't go into a season with no hope! (Unless you're the Bengals :unsure:)

I think there are players on the Dolphins that have a lot to prove this year like Bush, Marshall, Orton (if he ends up there), and Daniel Thomas will no doubt want to impress. The problem is your team is playing in a very tough division which never makes things easy. Sparano has a lot to prove as well because he knows he could be out the door soon if things don't improve there.

I like the Dolphins and I'm hoping they have a good year. It will be very tough to make the playoffs, but hopefully they can build a strong team to compete with the Jets (eww) and Pats.

Going to the Falcons v Packers game on October 9th, my 22nd birthday (love my falcons) AND the Cowboys v Giants on new years day!

Oh I'd love to goto another Cowboys game. I went one my anniversary (believe it or not) and had a good time. Only game I've ever been to.

Nice man, good for you!

I've got to get to at least one Seahawks game this year! Not that I really like them, but they are the closest NFL team to me :p

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
