That wasn't my intention.

I guess overall, I'm just still not really comfortable with the amount of injuries in football. I'm a [word redacted for fear of banning], I guess.

I get you.

I played football growing up, I received a lot of injuries (broken fingers, torn rotator cuff, hundreds of deep bruises, residual knee damage) and I wouldn't trade the experience ever.

With that said, I don't know if I would let my children play the sport over other options. It sounds so hypocritical in my head but I can't shake it.

One year ago, on the opening Monday night matchup between the Miami Dolphins and New England, Patriots Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins tore his right anterior cruciate ligament, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Not only did Mankins finish the Monday night game, he finished the season, becoming one of the rare, if not the only, players to have played an entire 16-game season with a torn ACL.

Mankins' problems only multiplied in the playoffs. In the Patriots' postseason win over the Denver Broncos, Mankins tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee, leading him to play the Super Bowl against the New York Giants with torn ligaments in each knee.

But when Mankins goes up against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, it will be six months since he underwent surgery on his torn ACL and one year since he suffered the injury.

After reading this article I take back anything I ever said about Logan Mankins last season. If this is true the man is just unreal. It would explain why he was off last season.

My kids will play the holy trinity of baseball hockey and football(soccer or track for my daughter) or they are getting shipped to boarding school.

Week one warrior.

On the other hand, you don't need contact sports for injuries. I never played one, and I still managed to get two concussions, three broken arms and a broken clavicle. Shit happens, I guess.

At least now I have something to blame my memory and focus problems on :jnc

Wow. I'll have to add him to the "Patriots I actually like" list.

I don't have anything against those sports so sure.

I'd pressure track and basketball though.

I guess I'm saying I'd prefer other sports but if my hypothetical kid wanted to play football I wouldnt stop them.

Why does everyone emulate FMT style posts. We should strive for something higher.

You cant get higher than FMT on game days.

 

[goldlion054]

Any Rams fans* here man enough to show their faces before the game???

* Squicken doesn't count for various reasons.

 

[Slo]

Honored.

Sapp picking the Falcons to lose 41-0.

Mmmmmmmm

wtf

 

[Fox318]

 

[Levyne]

Sapp is overestimating the Falcons a bit.

Better bench those feelings because shit is about to get emotional.

FMT's shit talking is so thorough and concise. It's like poetry really. Often imitated, never duplicated.

 

[goldlion054]

wtf

But if he is right, then who is bananas? Sapp may have just guaranteed himself more time on NFL Network with this!

 

[Seda]

Less than 2 hours!

 

[RBH]

They'll score at least 2.

 

[neoemonk]

Oh man, the Lions start playing today.

Hopefully they can distract me from the mediocrity of the Tigers.

 

[Slo]

Last time I stick up for you guys.

 

[Fox318]

One thing I will say about the Bills is that they had an awesome fan.

 

[woodchuck]

The NFL TV maps website is getting hammered. Can't access it. Can anyone help me out?

 

[eznark]

That one Browns fan wasnt alive for this do it never actually happened sadly.

 

[DY_nasty]

Do we have any WRs other than Steve Smith?

I only remember believing in Dwayne Jarrett. :|

Russert pushed my wife down the stairs at a BC football game (Matt Ryan vs FSU!) Fuck that fucking asshole. Glad he is dead and that his son is a hack.
