Absolutely agree 100%. Any player that would put up with loosing, especially when it's on purpose through the construction of the roster, is not someone I want on the team. ROR said what needed to be said and it's a shame he's being slagged for it...

I hope not. If it is, it's definitely not good for his future: "...The principal findings of this study demonstrated that players with a previous Jones fracture performed worse within the first 2 years in the NFL than controls, with a significant difference demonstrated for defensive linemen and running backs. On CT scans, the plantar (18/32; 56.3%) and lateral (15/32; 46.9%) cortices were frequently not healed. A lower CT score, as determined by the described method, was associated with fewer games started (2.7 vs 17.4 for score <1 vs 1-3, respectively)" "...Refractures and nonunion after a Jones fracture remain major concerns for NFL players.9 Wright et al23reported on 3 football players who suffered fifth metatarsal refractures on the first day back to full activity, despite the appearance of complete healing radiographically and clinically. " "...Based on CT, 50% of all players with a previous Jones fracture demonstrated incomplete healing. Moreover, position-specific performance scores over the first 2 years of a player’s career were lower across all positions for those with fractures compared with controls. " https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6113739/ EDIT: After further reading, it seems that in cases where players refractured the fifth metatarsal after initial surgery, insertion of larger screws fixed the problem and they were able to return in 6-10 weeks. I hope this is the case with Kroft...

Damn! Lost to New England again. "...Brothers-in-law Tyler Cooke and Bobby Leopold have already teamed up to win two Rhode Island Golf Association Four-Ball Championships. Now, the Ocean State residents are one step closer to capturing a national title in the same format....“This course is an interesting test of golf,” said Leopold, the 2017 New England Amateur champion.

Aaron Schatz Football Outsiders-- Still Doubts Josh
Lurker replied to JESSEFEFFER's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As there's a 99.99998% chance he's a Pats fan, I'd say anti-Bills bias. Same as the 90%+ of TSW posters that can't praise Brady as it would be against their world view... -

OTA Phase 3 updates 5/28 - media will be present
Lurker replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
LOL. All I implied a few responses ago is that a catch like that would not take place in a normal game (as the receiver would get 'dislodged' from the ball by DBs). You agreed. Let's leave it at that... -
