5 Wide Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Corey Simon will miss the rest of the season. He will be out while recovering from a "non-football illness". He has also visited the mayo clinic recently. That is awful news for the guy and you can just hope for the best for him for a full recovery. It kinda sounds like what Mario Lemieux went through.

Alaska Darin Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Dude was absolutely unstoppable on 2K4. I had like 100 sacks with him.

Das Link 797113[/snapback] Mayo Clinic for a knee injury??? Plus Colts implied its not knee injury at all so sounds like its something else. We wont know unless Corey releases something himself
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 It's polyarthritis, associated with his knee: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2615447

Have already heard grumblings that the money could have been spent on Edge or even Tripplet.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Yep, and the Colts apparently aren't paying him. Have already heard grumblings that the money could have been spent on Edge or even Tripplet. That's pretty nice 20/20 hindsight there. The fact is that Simon was likely hiding the problem from the Colts and has been suffering from this for years now. And since he's collected $13M in bonus from them plus $545K last year in base salary, I'd say that they SHOULDN'T have to pay him.
moorman8 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Read this definition (pay attention to last line) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyarthritis
Simon Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I heard a report on NFL network that the Colts think Simon should be playing ball right now but he says he's not ready yet. Apparently he was supposed to be ready 4 weeks after a procedure and it's now been 10 weeks. They were implying that during that time he was sitting around on his fat ass doing nothing while his weight balooned up to as high as 370lbs. Speculation is that the Colts believe he brought this on himself by being a disinterested slob and that is the reason that they don't want to pay him. I don't know what the truth is but Simon has had a reputation for not exactly being a dedicated player. And I have a real hard time imagining a stand-up guy like Tony Dungy being a party to the organization trying to get out of a guy's contract unless they have a legitimate reason to. If Cory is legitimately ill due to some condition beyond his control, then he has my sympathies. But I'm not convinced that's the case and apparently the Colts aren't either.

JAMIEBUF12 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 i guess all the fans that wanted "us" to sign him last year were wrong.
BoondckCL Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 i guess all the fans that wanted "us" to sign him last year were wrong. 797426[/snapback] The Colts defense becoming dominant last year didn't happen by chance.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 i guess all the fans that wanted "us" to sign him last year were wrong. Well you can't predict stuff like this. I mean a lot of us were hot after LeCharles Bentley, but he tored his patella tendon. Would that have happened in Buffalo? Who knows, but sometimes you get lucky with the moves you DON'T make.
