With Anthony Gonzalez out of action for an extended period of time, the Colts have to keep an extra wide receiver on the roster in case there is another injury at the position. Cribbs could provide that same security and contribute significantly on special teams.The team could also save another roster spot by sending their current kick returner, Chad Simpson, to the practice squad and keeping just three running backs on the depth chart. Mike Hart was recently put back on the active roster when Simpson suffered an abdominal injury.Cribbs is currently at odds with the Browns organization Jersey Boys and is actively seeking either a new contract or a trade. And with several injuries and limited roster space, the Colts don't have very much surplus talent to offer. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ The following is being issuedby Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE):December 2008 Highlights:On September 6, 2008, the Director of the Federal Housing FinanceAgency(FHFA) appointed FHFA as Conservator of Freddie Mac.See our website, for more information.Total mortgage portfolio has increased at an annualized rate of 5.0year-to-date and increased 4.1 in December.The aggregate unpaid principal balance Jersey Boys ticket (UPB) of our mortgage-relatedinvestments portfolio (formerly known as the retained portfolio)declined to $804.8 billion at December 31, 2008.The amount of mortgage-related investments portfolio mortgage purchaseand sale agreements entered into during the month of December totaled$25.4 billion, up from the $15.0 billion entered into during the monthof November.Total guaranteed PCs and Structured Securities issued increased 5.1during 2008 and increased at a rate of 0.4 in December.The single-family delinquency rate was 172 basis points in December,upfrom 152 basis points in November and 65 basis points in December2007.Other Investments includes $45.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents,$10.2 billion of securities purchased under agreements to resell andfederal funds sold, and $8.8 billion of non-mortgage investments as ofDecember 31, 2008.The measure of our exposure to changes in portfolio market value(PMVS-L) averaged $260 million in December.Duration Gap averaged 1month.

The sheer, blatant, full-speed-ahead dialogue about race and sports and free markets and entertainment and politics and good and bad behavior.When, in the last 72 hours, has any supposedly journalistic endeavor actually asked Limbaugh whether he believes slavery was a good or bad thing Has any journalist actually asked Limbaugh for his views on slaveryLimbaugh denies some statements attributed to him about slavery. Why, in the sake of Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann, and the budget just for their makeup and limos, can't some one ask Rush to just issue a current, up-to-date statement on slaveryThe team. Oh, man, Rush, a Missouri native, couldn't move the team out of St.
Louis, could he Think of how wonderful it would be for a Missouri native to own an NFL team based in St. Louis.Think of the pageantry!Well, of course, you couldn't have pregame military fly overs Those cost taxpayer dollars and are, basically, stupid Why is the U.S. government paying for fly overs at stadiums Rush would be opposed.Well, of course, you couldn't have marching bands either. Rush would oppose the draft because it restricts the freedom of football players to go to whatever team they want, despite the NFL draft order Rush Limbaugh has always advocated a free market system. The NFL forces college players and NFL teams to submit to a certain draft order.
Rush would blow this up in a minute, right RushNFL anti-trust protection. While Rush, an advocate of less government, wanted to own an NFL team, he would likely have railed against the special tax and trust laws awarded to the NFL, wouldn't he After all, Rush is all for the free market, isn't heRush would have been a great owner. The first thing he would have done is rail against all the special U.S. Sure, Rush spends more money on lunch than most of Jersey Boys tickets his listeners spend on one week's groceries but he's with you in spirit, if not money.But you could be rest assured with Rush as an NFL owner, he would never want government tickets for Les Miserables money for infrastructure costs for a new stadium, never want special anti-trust laws for the NFL, never want college players who were given taxpayer funded scholarships, never want anything that smacked of anything other than Rush-ti rules.Rush would build his own stadium and, of course, all the highways and transportation Les Miserables tickets leading to the new stadium because he wouldn't want government involved. He wouldn't sign any college players who actually had scholarships at any colleges because that's government money.
