The Wiz Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Dude can you stop? They have other jobs like ???? and ??????; they can't focus all their efforts on covering sports. Food draft and telling people they're dumb over the phone is the primary responsibility in their job description.At least they didn't take credit for the info like ESPN is famous for.They don't do that. They link their sources to the same broken url Everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Look, if OUR team doctors gave the FIRST opinion, a second opinion should be mandatory... Nothing against our team's medical staff, of course... Okay, maybe a little against our team's medical staff...

They're the joke Pretty much the only time I find them entertaining is when they aren't doing their job and talking about anything but sports.

GG Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) LMAO at WGR550 today. WGR is REPORTING that "Ian Rapoport of CBS sports is REPORTING that Ragland's first MRI was inconclusive blah blah blah...". They are the only local sports talk station in Buffalo and also happen to be the Bills "flagship" station, and they have to rely on something some national schmuck has to say about a Bills player injury. Good job by Paul Hamilton, Sal, and the rest of the clowns at WGR to do a little digging of their own to get some information on the injury. How many times does the same thing needs to be explained? Local media have very good sources with the team and maybe the players. In these kinds of instances, the team or the players will be mum. The national media have much better and broader relationships with agents, the league office or other people on the periphery. That's why they're always more looped in cases like this, because they have many more sources than the local media. Not that hard of a concept to remember.

Good job by Paul Hamilton, Sal, and the rest of the clowns at WGR to do a little digging of their own to get some information on the injury. I was thinking the same thing. Buffalos local guys are piggy backing off the national guys on every story and if its an original thought its usually derisive.

Florio's right, anytime a player gets a second opinion it's because he didn't like the first one. This is not a good sign. The team hasn't been forthcoming at all on Watkins' foot injury. The going notion here is simply because the team hasn't stated openly that it's a Jones Fracture that it isn't. All signs, all signs, point to the notion that it is. It'll come out at some point, probably after a lengthy enough period of futility and fans getting PO'd as to why softie isn't on the field at 100%, ... again.

Fadingpain Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 An "inconclusive" MRI has to be at least somewhat of a good thing. I mean, if his knee was destroyed they'd probably see that conclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 is anyone suprised by this particular take by this particular poster lol You are right - hardly a paragon of positive thought. As for Florio, as the saying goes, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, so I guess it's possible his opinion is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) JW tweeted that he heard we will know something as soon as tomorrow, not necessarily Monday. Florio said same. Here we go... @mikerodak Rex Ryan: We don't have any specifics on Reggie Ragland. We have to let swelling down before we know exactly what it is. @joebuscaglia Rex Ryan reiterated that they are "definitely concerned" with Reggie Ragland's knee #Bills @mikerodak Rex Ryan says the Bills will bring in linebackers to work out in wake of Reggie Ragland injury. Rex Ryan says he is "not real sure" that there is no ligament damage to Reggie Ragland. Rex said he was "so hopeful" there wasn't damage. @prescottrossi Rex: "We hope like heck that Reggie will be available. He's a heck of a football player. Hes one of those 150 tackle guys.

Billschinatown Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 David J. Chao, MD@ProFootballDocDavid J. Chao, MD Retweeted Ian Rapoport Contrary to public opinion, MRI is often inconclusive. Why I say no substitute for exam in hands of good orthopod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Bringing guys in to look at is the biggest tell out of that. Even if this is not a devastining injury, it is logical to assume they will be without him for at least a couple of weeks. With Reddick going down for the long term, they need a camp body at least.
