Thinking about the Super Bowl run, where he played the entire postseason with a fucked up arm, just dragging it around, tackling dudes anyway because he was such a bad-ass.

• In 1998, LB Doug Miller was struck by lightning while camping in Colorado. CPR was being performed on Miller when he was struck again by a second bolt.

Football just keeps moving into a darker place. A few years from now, it will probably be Rollerball.

suggs out, acl. sucks for football, great for every other team in the nfl.

Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 3 May 2012 14:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

lol

It is unclear if Suggs tore his Achilles playing basketball or doing a conditioning test -- sources have told Schefter both. Sources close to Suggs' camp deny he did it playing basketball.

i don't know if you are gonna come back off an acl tear at 30 with the same kind of explosion.

you guys the Raiders have Leinart zzzzzzzzzz

which is hopefully as uneventful as it sounds. Dear Carson Palmer I'm not going to jinx you by saying it out loud but YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE

Did you guys see Marcellus Wiley talking about junior on ESPN? wow that was emotional, I teared up a bit myself

The news of Seau's death is really depressing. He was such a great player and it is such a sad way to go. Would not be at all surprising if head trauma played a role. Question is, is the NFL going to take notice?

Any news on why the Broncos GM got canned? looks like he had a relatively decent free agent signing this offseason

peter king said that it was a forced marriage after elway took over and he just wanted his "own guys" working w him

frogbs in the trap (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 17:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

but yeah they had a nice free agency

frogbs in the trap (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 17:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

i heard that dude was quite excellent at process documentation and analytics, and that elway saw/coveted his binders on how to run the joint when he came in. was worth keeping for his institutional knowledge, then disposing once elway knew what the moving parts are. /localsportstalkradio

Clausen better get a good haircut, cuz he's never going to get a chance to put his helmet on. At least on Sundays.

arodg is p funny for a qb:

On Jeff Saturday having the perfect “butt height” for a center:

“There’s two main components that a center needs to have, and it’s not quickness or agility or snapping or anything. It’s two things: One, he has to have a good height, and I’m talking about where his butt rests. It can’t be too low because I don’t wanna get deep in that stance and it can’t be too high so I feel like I’m standing up. It’s gotta be just right. He’s got that.”

On how he measures butt height:

“It’s a feel. My center in college was about my height and he’s real low in his stance. So it made me have to kinda duck down a little bit. It’s hard to get out of center. Scott Wells — my previous center — (and) Jeff Saturday: great height. Great butt height.”

The second component a center needs to have:

“And the second is most important, and that’s sweating. How much do they sweat? The worst thing that you can have is third, fourth quarter on a October day where it’s 65, 70 degrees and he’s sweating through his pants. Because that is not a situation you wanna be in.”

On how to prevent that:

“You gotta change pants at halftime.”

Has that ever happened?

“Oh yeah. Our backup center — great guy — Evan Dietrich-Smith, he has major sweat issues. And when you get that ball snapped up and there’s a lot of sweat that just splashes all over you and on your hands and the ball — it’s not a good situation. So he actually has changed at halftime before. So those are the two things you look for: butt height and sweating. Jeff’s doing really well in both categories. … Low sweat ratio and solid butt height.”

On if the $5,000 bounty the Saints allegedly put on his head was low:

“It might seem a little bit low.”

i really miss football u guys

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 May 2012 15:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

well it looks like my vikings are staying in Minnesota thanks to some corporate welfare!

sorry LA?

(obv stadium politics and funding is pretty vile from an IRL perspective but i also must admit the fan in me is happy and relieved)

Bandersnatch Cumberbund (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 10 May 2012 23:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

when i lived in mpls (which has admittedly been a while) there was an extra .75% sales tax in hennepin county to pay for the metrodome.

and yeah i don't want anyone's team to leave (well, not minnesota's -- i don't care what the jags do). but when there's no money for health care or whatever, the idea of a public-supported venue for billionaires to make money from eight times a year is some kind of bullshit. man, the nfl

mookieproof, Thursday, 10 May 2012 23:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah they make jobs arguments and the infamous Minneapolis "Cold Omaha" argument but there's really no rational defense of it..other than you really are such a football rube that it makes you kinda happy even if you hate it...which is where i fit in.

also, i suppose, the idea that these funds weren't going to go to anything worthwhile anyway

the NFL gets what it wants

Bandersnatch Cumberbund (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 10 May 2012 23:56 (1 year ago) Permalink

i'm sure the league is relieved...god what a fucking nightmare from an NFC Division perspective the vikings leaving would have been.
