Unfortunately WEO, I think you're right. I am hoping that they don't find evidence of CTE in Seau's brain, but that is essentially hoping that they don't find signs of aging, to an extent. The fact that he shot himself in the chest instead of the head is, IMO, a bad sign of things to come. One last grasp at the spotlight for faded, depressed athletes who may be suffering from delayed effects of repeated head trauma, or may be suffering from much more common entities of depression or dementia. J2020, while I, and a number of posters in this thread, agree with you about the media and the scientific community shouting brain damage too soon from the standpoint of not knowing how to interpret the anatomical findings that are coming to light with CTE in relation to the clinical situation, you use as your source an article that does the exact same thing only from the opposing viewpoint. The author of the article clearly didn't know what he was writing about, or he wouldn't have drawn the conclusions that he did using evidence he does to support it.

The report released appears to include only a gross analysis, not the detailed microscopic analysis that will be done at the NIH to evaluate for chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

To your last point, Bledsoe had several 400+ yard games and a number of 300+ yard games, albeit not with Jauron. JP also put up several 300+ yard games, including 2 in 2006 under Jauron. Just sayin.

You over-officious jerk. Marv (coaching in KC against the Bills)

You're thinking of Thurston, Delano played Opie Cunningham on Happy Days in Mayberry, and now directs movies like Apollo 13.

Aww, don't look so surprised. If you had my kind of money you could hire "reach around Bob" too!

How dare they cover an event so insignificant as the Olympics with one of the least liked columnists in the city and leave a bunch of practice sessions to be reported on by columnists that are actually more objective and readable. THOSE BASTARDS!!

Are my eyes failing, or on the SI link is Tebow holding that ball 180 degrees from where it needs to be?

Couldn't resist.

Not defending OP, but I think, as Rockinon was pointing out, that he was trying to speak (uninspiringly IMO) from the POV of the media in the first part of the post. He qualifies his own POV at the end as believing this "motley crew" can perform at a playoff level. Media gave FJax much love before the injury last year among other reported misconceptions.

QB for the Bills? No kidding. I would have guessed the lead in Teen Wolf Too.

They took a Fiedler QB'd team to several 11-5 seasons IIRC. What's that saying about making chicken salad...

You forgot to mention the one of him standing on the sideline with his arm in a sling.

Right there with you. I do ok now that I'm pushing 40, but I was "borderline retarded," as one poster put it, until my late 20s. Difference being there wasn't a camera in my face when I said and did all my dumb ****. FWIW, lol'd at him saying he'd eff Tebow to take his virginity...

I thought it was about a man whose self described handicap was that he was a Jewish African-American singer with a glass eye. http://www.forcesofgeek.com/2010/04/sammy-davis-jr-his-apocalyptic-life.html

I tend to agree. Time is money, and the more time he spends here the less money is left elsewhere in all likelihood. If they weren't interested, they would take the numbers and run elsewhere. Couldn't let 108+ pages go by without adding my 2 cents.

If you look at the article again, he actually breaks up the quote and puts the last part first to make it seem like Nix is contradicting himself, which is even more misleading than leaving out that part of the quote altogether.

His dance showed he's immature, but it didn't cost us the game... His stone hands in the clutch, however, did.

How, then, would you "count" a touchdown that a receiver batted in the air to prevent an interception? Just curious.

That's John McClane. Rolando is the flakey aging actress who believes she was reincarnated. She helped Clint Eastwood shoot a train once.

"Crabhouse" http://www.schwartzbros.com/chandlers.cfm I hear the cha-ching of an endorsement deal!

We're hardly alone in giving up 450+ yards to NE*, Oakland, or Philly this year. Expecting a desperate Iggles team that's loaded with talent not to put up some numbers on this defense is unrealistic. IMO, the concerning game was last week when we couldn't stop the Bengals in the second half. Andy Dalton is not supposed to do that, at least not at this point in time. He had all day to sit back and throw the ball. Hit him last week like they blasted Vick at times today and we're 5-0. Looking through the rest of the schedule, I'd expect that most of the season is going to be a track meet, with only the Skins, Phins, Denver, and possibly Tennessee and the Jets not putting up points with regularity. At least we can hang with the big boys on offense now. Beats watching a team check-down to the tune of 13 points per game while giving up 450+ on defense... doesn't it?

That can be said of just about any player at this point in time, unfortunately. Taking what I was saying a step further, I could see Peyton Manning, the rookie, coming to Blo and establishing a career despite the bad team... he did it in Indy. I don't think Mallett is that player, so it'd be bad both for the team and the player, cuz it'd be 3 more years of "development" before we could move on to the next "next franchise QB."

As much as I hate the idea that *NE may have drafted the likely successor to Brady, I think this is probably accurate. The thing that often gets overlooked is that athletes, like everyone else on this planet, mature at different rates. Mallett can have all of the talent in the world, but put him on a team that is expecting him to be the starting QB now, and he's likely to crack under the pressure. *NE and other teams with established QBs that can take the time to groom a guy like this are the most likely to actually help him realize his potential, whereas the Bills as presently constituted (bad team with an offense decidely not befitting his strengths) would have probably prematurely annihilated his confidence and career before he ever got the chance to establish himself.

71 yards, a sack and a pick against backups is hardly worth the optimism you're sporting. And your manner of self righteous, unsupported, chest thumping is most offputting, as is your overuse of .
