I think the term, “china doll” is overtly provocative. Not trying to say how you should post or anything, but at best it’s an inarticulate way of speaking to Bradford’s injury concerns and at worst, it’s trying to start a fight.

I think as fans it’s all too easy to forget and see them solely as just pixels on the screen to us and glowing phosphors before that…unless we caught a game live, but even still, we weren’t on the field.

Most of have never and will never know what even ONE hit from an NFL defensive lineman feels like let alone the repetitive pounding one takes as an NFL QB.

Between the intricacies of joint mechanics, the fact that the joint in question was just repaired and may not have been fully stabilized and he took a knee to knee hit AND had a 300+ Defensive Tackle trying to drag him down putting his full weight solely on that knee… well, frankly we’re lucky the knee held up as well as it did.

Even if the future becomes Robot football, some robots will be more reliable than others. And whether it’s Chaos Theory, bad karma, a jinx, the baby Jesus or something else at work, I think it’s pretty safe to say that it’s NOT that Sam Bradford is brittle and breaks easily.

OK….how about injury prone?

I found that Raven photo about a year ago, in a little
off-the-wall feminist-poetry magazine. I liked it so i
copied it and framed it. Ravens are ornery, you know.
I was reading yesterday, that they have been known to
eat the eyeballs out of dying cows, and baby seals.
Eyeballs are a delicacy, apparently.

Dont you think its time for a new board?

Silly me.

I thought it was an oriole (and no…..not Brooks Robinson).
