Do'n work is right... I like this TT guy, I also like that people want to stay and others are willing to 'give' a lil bit to make this thing work.

All about leverage right now. The "average" vets don't seem to have much.

That's great news. "Due $4MM in 2014"? That's confusing, he was due $4MM before the paycut. Any idea what he's due now?

Pay cut or be cut. Good job TT, and thanks JJ.

UTgehlken: Chargers restructure Jarret Johnson's contract, per source. Due to earn $4 million salary. Now $1M w/ $2M signing bonus. Saves $1M in cap.

So looks like a straight 1 mill pay cut. Some addition money saved with part of his contract being moved to a bonus.

Thank you, Jarret Johnson.

However, can we please stop calling him JJ? Somebody else already took that nickname, and he's a pretty big part of Chargers history.

That was 30 years ago. I think it's ok if we call someone else JJ.

Okay.

So Keenan Allen is now Bambi, and Woodhead's new name is Big Hands Johnson.

Wait, there's more.

President Obama is Old Hickory.

My thesis that I'll be presenting this weekend is called the "I Have a Dream" speech.

Anybody going to my masquerade rager on the docks this weekend? It's called the Boston Tea Party.

Oh, and El Cajon will now be referred to as the City Upon a Hill.

Sorry that makes no sense. JJ is simply initials.

Who is Keenan Williams?

Time for some action with Freeney's contract.
