BA looks to be ready to go

Obviously, T's going to have issues about anyone named "BA."

At the risk of dating myself,

BS

Yes ... my original thought when I saw "BA" was the young fella on the right:

Really? If I knew, I wouldn't have asked the question. And, if it's so obvious, can you provide the names of the newspapers and TV stations which refer to Ayanbadejo as "BA".....

It would be awesomely ironic if you edited this to correct the spelling of "the"

I find it to be a bit of an annoyance to have to struggle to figure out who people are writing about. It's a casual practice I see here all the time, just throwing out a set of initials instead of an entire name. I was able to figure out this one out after a couple of replies, but sometimes I have to decipher the meaning by reading 10 or 15 into the thread. I've seen people do it here for players on other teams that don't even play in our division, and just presume that everyone would know who RZ or UI or XX is. I don't get it.

Nice. The thread is more about whether or not we're abbreviating his name than whether he's worth a spot on the team.

My problem is that if he isn't ready to handle a full workload, he needs to be on IR and try to crank it up again next year. If he's only going to want to take limited snaps, then is he really worth a spot on the team after PUP?

I didn't know who BA was either.
