I thought about making this case on Sunday, but that seemed a little rash. Thought about it again on Monday, but held back. But enough already, I’m coming out with both barrels blazing now. This is bullshit. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Let me take a deep breath and start from the beginning. In Sunday’s Bengals game,… Read More »
Is it my imagination, or are over-hyped Tony Romo injuries now part of the annual changes that tells us winter is coming? I think this is mostly in my head, but it sure sounds right. Here we are in another one of those weeks where everyone will hang on everyone else’s words in order to rephrase into their… Read More »
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new champion! Let me introduce you to, “The King of Convalescence,” the, “Duke of Doubtful,” the, “Sultan of Sitting,” the, “Dictator of Deactivation,” … St Louis Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson! This probably falls into the category of, “more interesting to me than to the reader,” but I’m posting it anyway because it’s… Read More »
In the words of Ron Burgandy, “boy, that escalated quickly.” (Crap, I can’t take credit for that… Rotoworld used it lo lead their summary of Jones’ injury, and they nailed it.) Back on October 21st, word came out that Pats DE Chandler Jones would miss, “about a month,” with a hip injury. No details were given, leaving me… Read More »
Nope, I’m still not ready to back down from my original pessimism over Robert Griffin and his dislocated ankle. Yes, it looks like there’s a chance that I’ll be wrong and that Griffin will come back and play at some point this season. But my reasoning at the time was solid… it just turns out that Griffin had… Read More »
Yeah okay, that title is a stretch. But the story is good, so I’ll make it up to you in the end. Mike Florio over at ProFootballTalk wrote a good piece about Percy Harvin today. As usual, I’d love it if you read the whole thing yourself, but whatevs, I’ll recap here. Florio does a nice job of… Read More »
As a rabid Pats fan, I must admit, I love me some Chandler Jones. He’s one of those high-motor defensive ends that just manages to be everywhere he needs to be. Okay, maybe that’s pretty biased. But he does have a great smile, and that counts for a lot. Given all that, it kills me to hear that… Read More »
You remember all the way back to last week, when Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that the media basically created the lingering effects of concussions? I loved that story, and I loved to see ProFootballTalk’s Darin Gantt take Lewis down. Good stuff. Well of course, since Marvin Lewis is either irresponsible, stupid, or insane, he’s right back… Read More »
This always bugs the crap out of me. Take a look at this Tweet from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport: Not all injury news is bad for #Bills: worst-case for RB Fred Jackson (groin) is to miss 4 weeks, I’m told. He has his eyes on 11/6 vs KC — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 20, 2014 Forget that odd part… Read More »
Anyone who follows my writing knows that clavicle fractures have a special place in my heart. After all, that’s the injury that really started this blog. You could say that me and clavicle fractures go waaay back. Because of that, I’ll admit that I was a little excited to see Buffalo RB C.J. Spiller suffer a clavicle injury… Read More »
