Packers tight end Jermichael Finley will undergo spinal cord fusion surgery, according to his agent

that's what peyton had right? so he'll be out a long while if he comes back at all. horrible.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 21:25 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, he'll be out indefinitely. And I think his kids and family will probably sway him from returning (they'd already said as much with his previous injury).
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 22:26 (ten years ago) link
part of me is hoping he doesn't try to come back, as much as it sucks given how well he was playing before he got hurt!

I'm curious to see what KC will do this weekend against Denver. I'd probably be thinking more KC if it was in Arrowhead, as that place gets real noisy but the game is in Denver. KC's got some talent on defense, especially at linebacker. That said, they haven't played any of the high powered passing games except Dallas, who it seems they were able to keep the big play from happening. They got the Chargers and then the Broncos again at home the two next weeks, so this is a big three weeks for KC.

Todd Christensen had a great set of hands. The guy had a couple of 90+ catch seasons when that was a really crazy thing to do. I remember watching him on the Tom Flores era Raiders teams.

This was really good. lots to relate to there. when I first saw those text messages and voicemails from Incognito I thought that it really wasn't much different to things people have said to me (if you replace the n-word with "dirty Jew"). Some people just seemed to get off on being nasty on the field (but are generally nice otherwise) while others are a little more sinister, the type with the same kind of upbringing as this guy, who are told from birth to go sock someone in the mouth. I'm guessing there are guys like Incognito at all levels of football, and maybe a bunch more in the military too. Football just seems to harbor that sort of thing. You really can't even make it through a full practice without getting pissed at somebody.

lolz how did Spergon Wynn get on there
― brownie, Friday, 15 November 2013 00:23 (ten years ago) link
hmm
Minnesota Vikings
Following the 2000 season, September 3, 2001, Wynn was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, along with RB Travis Prentice, in exchange for draft picks in the 2002 and 2003 NFL drafts. Wynn was a third string backup to Daunte Culpepper and Todd Bouman in the 2001 and 2002 seasons and played in the last three games of the 2001 season, starting two of them. This was due to season-ending injuries to both Culpepper and Bouman.
― brownie, Friday, 15 November 2013 00:25 (ten years ago) link
I remember being mad at Spergon Wynn for not beating the Ravens in the season finale in 2001, because if he had, my Dolphins would have played the Seahawks in the wild card match instead of the Ravens, which would have been a better matchup for us.

Todd Bouman was Culpepper's backup. I remember he got a few starts. god QBs were so bad in that day and age that when Alex Van Pelt did pretty good in relief of Rob Johnson one year they were about to make him an extension offer and make him the starter until Bledsoe became available.

Can't really give up on Richardson though, as Donald Brown didn't look this good for the most part until now. The Colt offense when it's clicking works, but they kind of have fits and starts.
Luck at times seems to do that Favre thing where he throws the ball so hard it sails on him and cuts down a bit of his accuracy.

illegal contact and holding both have to be before the pass. and PI the ball has to be catchable, and in the circumstances you can't say for sure either decision would be wrong. but yeah changing the decision is the worst option.

funny thing about getting the three seed from the pats perspective is that they'd be likely to face either the dolphins (rightfully no pats fan would think twice about the pats crushing miami) or the jets (every pats fan would be shitting his pants)
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 19 November 2013 05:33 (ten years ago) link
there's a good chance neither miami or the jets makes it in. next week jets @ bmore is basically huge. ravens have 3 winnable games at home coming up that would get them to 7-6. and miami and the jets have to play each other twice yet.
but yeah, adding bmore to the mix does not help new england's cause. that is 3 potential matchups out of 4 (inc. kansas city) for their first playoff game where basically they need the opposition offense to lose the game. all for the eventual reward of being one score ahead at the start of the 4th quarter vs the broncos and then losing by 21 points.
