Ok you win. I'm not even sure what your point is or why you raised this issue in the first place.

Let's move on.

This is comical; I love this web site!

They are suing because the NFL did studies on concussions and the evidence pointed out that a player should not be inserted back into a game after a concussion. Yet the owners and commissioner buried that evidence because it meant not having the star players on the field. The NFL made a decision to put players at risk so they could make billions instead of risking a few dollars by having the back ups play. The NFL made a conscious decision to not care about long term damage to the players so the owners and commissioner could have a slightly larger paycheck.

Let's be honest. Most....(not all) players are suing because there is money to be made. This entire lawsuit is mostly based on money. If I were a former player, I'd probably be on the lawsuit too! A kicker is on the lawsuit! lol...I guess he got a concussion kicking the ball too hard!

Well, I was exaggerating a bit, but these knee injuries are season-enders, where as other injuries don't seem to take you out for the rest of the year.I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere Rothlisberger said something to that effect, would rather get hit in the head than the knees.

Its only "official" if Dr. Andrews says it. We all expected it and the chances of him not being cleared are incredibly small. But a great chance of it happening does not constitute it being official.

Adam Schefter is pretty adamant that RGIII starting week 1 is official.. Says Andrews will clear him tommorrow but it's official now.

Per the season opener, I hope we run it down the Iggles gdamn throats with Morris and Helu all game long. And it opens up passing lanes for RG and those quick strikes to Moss, Garcon, Morgan, Hank and the TE's.

If we commit to the run and control the clock all season, I think this team seriously flies.

yahooo!

im really excited and kinda scared. Confused that this news came before Andrews had a chance to examine and clear him but it all seems a formality at this point ..(unless RG3 is masking his actual progress in an attempt to get in the field week 1)

So... opinions on the will to win last night? I thought it was pretty good, seeing how much he went through in rehab I think there's no doubt he's good to go.

I thought that it was pretty well done. Like others, I think it showed how he is a true man, not just an athlete. It also was cute to see RGIII and Becky interact.

Hope it re-airs. I was at a fantasy draft party at the office and missed it...didn't DVR like a fool.

I got a room full of laughs when I drafted RGIII 9th overall. Morris was already taken or I would have taken him instead.

They won't be laughing later. It's risk vs. HUGE reward. I have faith in Robert this year.

(took Bradford as backup just in case) :D

They say that yet they're suing because of head injuries.

The suing thing is less about getting money and more about affecting change.
