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.

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.

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?

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
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

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.”

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

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

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