scribo Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Chris Brown reports... Not practicing yesterday for Arizona: WR Anquan Boldin DE Bert Berry (Cards's top pass rusher) SS Adrian Wilson (Pro Bowler) TE Leonard Pope (starter) TE Jerame Tuman (backup) For the Bills, Terrence McGee did not practice, either.
Captain Quint Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Actually, in this case, I believe that it would be a flock. A gaggle or sedge refers to seafaring birds like the goose or heron. You may want to revise that title. -Quint

I'm hoping we hear more info by the days end. Berry won't play. I suspect and hope Boldin won't either. Wilson is a maybe. If he doesn't play Edwards can eat up the secondary. I know some say they want to face teams with their best players on the field, but for me, I just want a W. And if Boldin not playing gets one, then I'm all for it.

You may want to revise that title. -Quint I looked around before I posted it, but there is nothing that I see stating it has to be seafaring foul. Here is the best definition I can find: Merriam-Webster Dictionary Of course, there is always this one: Urban Dictionary So while not cliché, I don't think gaggle is incorrect. But I am certainly open to further discussion. Oh, and in reference to "sedge," are you sure you don't mean "skein"?

But I am certainly open to further discussion. I take that back. It's a term used to describe geese (not member's of the finch family) that are not in flight, so in this case, although we're talking about cardinals, we're also talking about injured cardinals who aren't "in flight". Well played, sir! My deepest apologies, from one seacaptain to another. -Quint
VOR Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 For all intents and purposes, Boldin, Wilson, and Berry will be out. None have practiced since the last game. This should be another "should win" game for the Bills.

Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 So they may be missing one of the best wideouts in the game, their best pass-rusher hands down, and easily their best overall defensive player. Wow. Two out of three would be nice, but all three of them being out would be devestating to Arizona IMO.
scribo Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Does this mean their goose is cooked? Indubitably.
HopsGuy Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I appreciate the info. A group of cardinals has many collective nouns, including a "college", "conclave", "deck", "radiance", and "Vatican" of cardinals. Link I'll go with "radiance".

shoveldog Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Ok, my brain hurts... can't we just keep it to stuff that average folk like me understand. "Hey, these dudes ain't playin"
bobblehead Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 i'd say it's a bushel and a peck. Doodle-loodle-loodle doo.

Link I'll go with "radiance". A group of cardinals (on the ground, I assume) is a Vatican. Ha ha ha, now that's funny!
