    Bummer!

    from buffalo rumblings

     

    Down goes Gaskins

     

    Undrafted rookie free agent running back Kendall Gaskins, who made a strong impression with solid running during Monday night's scrimmage, left practice early with what appeared to be a leg injury. Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com reported that Gaskins tried to go while clearly less than 100 percent with a wrap on his left leg, but that trainers pulled him out of individual drills early in the session. His health will be something to monitor closely for the next few days as he competes with Tashard Choice for the No. 3 running back job.

    I hope there is a special place in hell for these people....

    This one happened to me yesterday ....

     

    Heading into the men's room, as soon as I step into the men's room a guy on his way out says, "Hey, Gugny!!"

     

    So now ... the guy in the 3rd stall knows it's me who will eventually be sitting in the 1st stall.

     

    No anonymity.

     

    This is a problem.

     

    I put on an audible show that I can best describe as really bad New Orleans jazz and this dude - - whom I have no idea who he even is - - knows it's me.

     

    Don't say hi to a guy as he enters the men's room. If there was ever a time for "the head nod," that is it.

    Holy ****. :blink:

    A couple years ago, I went to the doctor with a splitting headache (had the headache for a few days and it was literally bringing me to tears) ... I've never been one to get headaches and it seemed odd. I was guessing I had a sinus infection.

     

    The LPN took my temperature, then my BP. She said, "hmmm." Then asked to take it using my other arm.

     

    She said, "I need to get another nurse, I think I'm doing something wrong."

     

    Another LPN came in, took my BP, then said, "I need to get the doctor."

     

    Doctor came in, took my BP and told me it was 225 over 130. She then told me I could have either a stroke or a heart attack at any moment, then proceeded to do a quick neurological-type test (follow the pen with your eyes, etc.) to see if anything may have already happened.

     

    Sent to the hospital where I was given a pill to "crash" my BP, given an CT Scan and an ECG.

     

    By the grace of God, the headache was the only side affect.

     

    I continue to be on BP medications, but through weight loss and quitting smoking, I'm hoping to come off of them.

     

    Either way ... I'm thankful that nothing more serious happened to Donald Jones. Heaven forbid he was not being monitored and continued to work out at that pace.

     

    I always liked this guy as a Bill and he's always seemed like a good person. I wish him the best and I think it's really cool that he's going to the home opener to see his former teammates.

     

    Here's to a long, happy, prosperous life.

    Hackett on CJ Spiller's Role in the Offense

    Wow, you're having an incredibly hard time following this conversation. What I'm saying is that a good RB who gains lots of yards NEVER hurts an offense. And as long as his QB and defense isn't awful, you can ride that RB to the playoffs. Just like Minnesota did last season. If you have a RB who gains lots of yardage plus a good QB plus a good defense, you're going to win the Super Bowl. There is a difference between having all those and just not having a QB and Defense that are crappy.

     

    Problem is Chris Johnson is Tennessee's only threat and their QB and Defense is crappy.

     

    I'm not sure what you're not understanding.

     

    I'm also not sure what your point is in general.

    I assure you I'm having no difficulties following anything you're writing.

    I find it very annoying when people sign off their emails with "Best". "Best" what?

    I sometimes use "Best." I've always viewed it as short for All the Best, or Best Wishes. I use "Regards," more than "Best," and I normally only sign off with any kind of letter ending if it's an external email.

    I think it's reasonable to argue that a good running game is essential to being successful in the league, as the most successful teams are usually well rounded.

    I agree. But I think it's unreasonable to argue that a team with a high-yardage-yielding RB will win. It's a no brainer to say that a team with a good QB, defense and running game will win a lot of games.

     

    I also think it's worth noting that the O-line is the reason for rushing success more often, than not.

     

    Not taking anything away from CJ or FJ, but that line deserves a lot of credit.

    Well, actually, they do. More yards = more first downs = more points. As long as you have a decent QB and decent defense that is a recipe for winning.

     

    Of the top 11 rushing teams last season, 8 of the 11 made then playoffs last season. One of them won the Superbowl. Another one was the opposing team in the SB. That says something.

    So the fact that you listed those gaudy yards from Chris Johnson ... and I listed the number of wins for each of those years ... and the number of wins was very low ... that tells you that teams with lots of rushing yards win a lot of games?

     

    Or are you saying that teams with good QBs, good defenses AND running backs that rush for a lot of yards win a lot of games? Because that's not what you originally claimed.

    yiu won't hear it from me bud. Love him here. Just hope people realize he's not Fred Jackson of 2010-11 anymore.

    I was among the "don't give Fred more money" crowd before he got his raise. I still think it was a bad idea ... however ... I'm not upset that he's on the team. If someone could bottle guts/determination/dedication, Fred Jackson would be the main ingredient.

     

    I hope he can stay healthy and I hope Hackett has a way to use both FJ and CJ effectively without burning either out.

     

    Tennessee is not losing because Chris Johnson is putting up close to 1,500 yards a season. They're losing because they don't have a QB and their defense has been suspect at times.

     

    Teams dont lose because star players get lots of yards.

     

     

    Nor do teams win because star players get lots of yards.

    I know exactly what you're talking about. I was just looking at this girl's page the other day and EVERY SINGLE PICTURE she had her hand on her hip and was posing. I was thoroughly annoyed.

    The fish lips on every single self-portrait pic are what get on my nerves.

    What? Is that not how a message board works. Someone says something, someone else responds and so forth? I disagree with his opinion. It's called discourse.

    Yes. Yes, I'm aware of how a message board works, as well as being aware that it's called discourse. Certainly, however, you can acknowledge the difference between a civil conversation and a conversation in which one participant uses condescending phrases and general douchebaggery. Of course, I'm not accusing anyone of any of this. I'm simply pointing out the difference.
