  1. My reaction was, "There goes three more draft positions".

     

    I'm reminded of an anecdote, one of my favorite NFL players was Brian Urlacher.  The Bears were 7-8 that year going into the last game against the Vikings, with nothing on the line.  A win provided nothing except Lovey Smith an 8-8 record.  Late in the game with outcome in the balance Urlacher was still in.  He was injured defending a pass in the end zone and missed training camp the next year and that essentially was the end of his career at about 34 years old.  Had the Bears finished 7-9 the Bears would have moved  up about 8 draft positions and Urlacher would have contributed more the next season.

     

    I just don't get it.

    I thoroughly enjoyed that win.  I watch the game for that kind of excitement.  Draft picks are cool though.

  2. I love the way the Ravens still go out there and play inspired football.  It would've been easy for them to give up a long time ago.  I think that credits the kind of players and coaches we have.  I don't see a lot of talent out there, but they do have heart!  However, I find it extremely frustrating to lose so many close games. As incompetent as the team seems sometimes, they can hang in there with any other team until the last 2 minutes.  Not clutch at all.

  3. Can I just say that a lot of people have torn their ACL and still function?  Flacco is definitely a tough dude, but a lot of people can cope without having an ACL.  Also, if it's a full tear, then they aren't excruciatingly painful.  He probably felt a pop, had a little pain, and maybe a little instability. 

     

    My friend tore his ACL in highschool and still plays basketball with us every weekend. He's 33 now. 

     

    Now if you're a pro athlete then they will always repair it because you will be less stable and therefore at a higher risk of injury.
