They have too much dead money . They pay more to not have some guys than they spend on their defense . The Byrd contract is a lot of money and you have to pay Brees , so their hands are kinda tied . Injuries really hurt them , but even so , some defensive guys on rookie contracts need to be hits and steals for them to succeed . <| sep |> I kept laughing at the way Jeremy was running after the helo dropped him off . <| sep |> Fuel taxes pay for the roads . Congestion charges pay for the inconvenience . Assume you ' re in rushhour , and there ' s 10 km of traffic behind you collectively moving at 30 kmhr on average . Cars are spaced 25 m apart front bumper to front bumper . There are 400 cars behind you in that lineup , and your 25 m of road takes 8 . 33 seconds to cover . Simply by occupying your space in line , you ' ve delayed everyone else by those 8 . 33 seconds , or just shy of an hour in aggregate . How much is an hour of time worth ?
