Fixt. And agreed. Ever look at their stands during a HOME game? :lmao:

Yeah, but the stands are packed for all their away games.  The home team fans know that it's a guaranteed win.

Looks like Vikings staff saved Bridgewater's whole leg

http://www.dailynorseman.com/2016/8/31/12728436/teddy-bridgewater-s-injury-could-have-been-much-worse

By now, we’ve all heard about the diagnosis on the left knee of Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, that he suffered a ruptured ACL and “significant structural damage.”

Frighteningly enough, it could have been much worse.

According to sports injury expert Will Carroll, Bridgewater suffered what is known as a tibiofemoral dislocation. Or, for our English-speaking audience. . .



Tibiofemoral dislocation ... basically, Bridgewater's femur (upper leg) went off the tibia (shin, lower leg.) Yeah.

It still blows my mind that something so severe could have come as a result of a non-contact injury, but the human body is a weird thing. I think that’s something we can all agree on at this point.

So, how much worse could it have been?


Source confirms tibiofemoral dislocation, ruptured ACL for Bridgewater. "Trainers may have saved his leg and career by quick action."

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. . .Teddy Bridgewater could have lost his leg if the trainers at Winter Park hadn’t acted as quickly as he did.

Lost. . .his. . .leg. Process that for a moment. I’ll wait.

According to this manual from the folks at Merck, this sort of injury is often accompanied by arterial and/or nerve damage. It’s a damn good thing that the staff at Winter Park acted as quickly as they did, or else things could have been even more awful.

The fact that we’ve gone from a scenario where Teddy Bridgewater could have lost a leg to speculating about when he’s going to return to the football field is pretty amazing. It is to me, anyway. Thank goodness for the Vikings’ training staff, led by Certified Athletic Trainer Eric Sugarman™. They should be commended for their work yesterday, and let’s be honest. . .while I know that getting Teddy Bridgewater back onto the football field isn’t the primary concern, if anyone can get it done, it’s a training staff led by a guy whose rehabilitative methods for leg injuries have been written up in medical journals.

For now, let’s be thankful that things at Winter Park yesterday weren’t much, much worse.

Obviously a smart man.

Has anyone else seen the NFL commercial with the song "I'm so Excited" and it shows all the players singing, having fun, and then it cuts to Bellicheck, and he is just making the standard stone face, then cuts back to the music?  It was pretty good!

 

[knight1fox3]

No but that does sound funny. Did a quick search and found something similar...but no Belichick.

Yes, but I didn't have enough memory.

Well, here's my 2016 Fantasy team.  I'm ranked third in my league, mostly because I passed up on a few higher ranked players that I thought were way overrated, or they went from the sole player last year to someone splitting reps with a high draft pick.  The top two drafters and myself were mother f'ing each other for stealing each others next pick the entire time.  It could be worse.  Only reason I picked up crab legs as my QB is because he was the only guy with a ton of passing yards that plays on Hambursberger's bye week.

• Ezekiel Elliot
  
• Jordy Nelson
  
• Sammy Watkins
  
• Mike Evans
  
• Jeremy Hill
  
• Ben Roethlisberger
  
• Antonio Gates
  
• Jameis Winston
  
• DeAngelo Williams
  
• Torrey Smith
  
• Jason Witten
  
• Steve Smith
  
• Adam Vinatieri
  
• Jets Defense

Few minor adjustments.

"Saints QB Drew Brees agrees to contract extension and will get $44.25M guaranteed over the next two years."

I'm fairly certain that is more than what R.Goodell makes. :blink:
