I have a colleague who had a skydiving accident last July. He wound up with his tibia poking through his jump suit. He has had 19 surgeries so far due to infections. The infection was finally defeated but 4" of tibia were whittled away. I would have assumed this to presage amputation but it's a different world now. He wears carbon fiber scaffold that is screwed to bone above and below the break. He walks with crutches. At his last xray about 1.5 inches had regrown. He is anticipating being back to normal by next July. He will never play football but he said he will jump again.

Jimmy Graham stumbles and falls after every catch

I've watched that 46 times hoping she makes it just once.

PS. The gal in blue looks like Cam Newton going after that fumble in the Super Bowl.

I didn't notice at first, but I'm pretty sure she vomits.  

Makes the Cam Newton reference even stronger

Also brings McNabb into the conversation.

I think that's a necklace, not a puke stream. Which of course dignifies the vignette.

Why is it this seems more common the last several years.  He isn't the first player we've heard of having infection issues post surgery.  Maybe it's just more common in general than I thought?  Didn't Finley have infection issues after is knee surgery?

My wife works in a hospital. It's what's going on. I blame Al Gore AND global warming.

Carson's having a hard time staying healthy in the NFL. Now a fractured back. Foles will be a FA in Spring. The Eagles will be in cap hell as the highest team over the cap heading into 2019. 

The Redskins were a pretty good team with Alex Smith out there, but I never thought they were a threat to win the NFC or the Super Bowl even when healthy.  Without Alex Smith and Colt McCoy, they might not win another game this year.  At this point, they're not too much different than the Pack was last year when Hundley was the QB.

Might be the curse of being a QB named Carson?

I hope they dont win again this year, it'll make the 4th rounder we get from them for HaHa that much better.

Alex Smith's broken leg might be what gets the vikings into the playoffs instead of sitting home.
