Like it wouldn't have been wasted time if there was a song and dance at the end?

Crap, now I can't drink Blue Moon anymore. Thanks!

Damn I really want to see this kid in action. How long until preseason???

You know it's funny, I had this impression recently while watching the brief highlights of JP from preseason and the regular season...that he really does look like he could be Flutie with a real arm. I'm sure it's just seeing the #7 that made me think of that, but it sure would be fun if true.

Presumably (if that is the cause) they will do tests to look for more. They're not always the best at detecting every little possible aneurysm, but they'll probably be able to identify any big, deadly honkers. Not sure how that will affect his decision to continue playing, however.

Whoops, I mean, most people except for Darin.

Really? I can't recall more than a handful of times I've ever participated in such discussions on PPP. I'm not really sure what constitutes "obsessive" to you, although if it's what it seems to be, then I suppose most people here are "obsessive" and "overwhelmed" about a great many things in this world.

There are different kinds of stroke, as well as many different factors that can cause a stroke. Without knowing any details, it's impossible to say what effect this will have on his career. My impression from the little I have heard is that he may have had a small aneurysm that popped and bled, causing a small stroke.

I'm not sure how you see that as an attempt to bring meanness into this thread, it was a simple question. The only thing I've been "overwhelmed" with on this board is the lack of the kindness, understanding, respect, and acceptance you are now espousing toward gay people, particularly those who are looking to get married. No attack here, just trying to see if you really practice what you preach.

What would lead you to conclude that?

I'll be happy with Wiggins but only if we can call him "Chief".

Does that apply even if they are gay and want to get married?

You just need the right kind of doctor.

I thought we released Travis and he signed on as a backup QB with some other team?

You're referring to a different play. The one where he tried to throw to Reed in the end zone, thinking he would draw a PI call. It was a terrible play in all aspects, not the least of which was his desire to draw a penalty.

I wish I made that much.

Bledsoe absolutely had no touch on the short passes, I've always felt that way. But those stats are, as pointed out, fairly meaningless. Our failure to execute a real screen pass stemmed from two things: Bledsoe's inability to throw the short touch pass, and the entire offense's inability to set one up. I'm not sure where the breakdown always was, but it sure seemed like every time we tried to execute a screen pass, the defense was all over it. The debacle in Baltimore is a good example. Bledsoe's throw sucked, but it was compounded by the fact that the entire Baltimore defense knew it was coming and was in position to make that play.

So would this come before or after the daily "Democrats are retarded" post?

I'm trying...I'm just having a tough time hitting the "play" button on the VCR...

Personally, I think it was all about his inability to throw a screen pass in the vicinity of the receiver.

Mike Pucillo. Oh wait, you mean a fan favorite in a good way?

Do player stats decline as they get older, too?

Crap, you're right. I was misreading your post. We were just timing things differently...

Somewhere out there FFS is laughing at you.

Since when do plastic cups wear clothing? And I thought your home IS the bar?
