That like many of his other injuries he decided to draw maximum attention to himself and overexaggerated everything. If a chin is busted open to the point that you need 8 or 10 stitches, there will be blood. He's been lauding his toughness and willingness to play through pain and come back from injury non stop this season.
-
I'm pretty sure you could see it in his chin strap. Other than that he had his hand covering it most of the time and the trainers immediately had it covered with gauze. When you bust open a chin, blood gets everywhere in a hurry. I've done it a few times and never did it require 8 or 10 stitches (I've seen reports of both), just 2 or 3. A hand isn't going to stop it, a detached chin strap isn't going to contain it, and the gauze would be bright red in a hurry.

Bears Game 8: Sunday Nov 7 at Buffalo (Toronto) on Fox
jersey cubs fan replied to Banedon's topic in Other Sports
Well I mean it is one of our own players that's heaping the praise. In fact I haven't really seen anyone outside of the Bears organization that's said that we have great receivers. I don't care about Pisa saying it, or anybody on the team. The players can say what they want and being supportive is probably good. I would be annoyed at Lovie and Jerry saying it. I think the WR corps is one stud away from being great though. Knox and Hester are both nice options but cannot be your featured receiver. -
I was watching it because I had Chiefs in Survivor and kept turning it off since it was so crappy.

Okay, I'm feeling a little better about the Bears now. Simmons is back to saying they are the one of the 4 worst teams in the league after completely moving away from his original 3 worst teams earlier in the season. He guessed Buffalo by 3 in this game. -
Oh yeah, and has anybody actually spotted any blood from that Favre hit? You don't take 12 stitches to the chin without a ton of blood spewing, and I didn't see any. Neither has anybody else I asked.

Odd, I found that the only appealing thing about being stuck watching KC/BUF. I also don't think his enthusiasm is forced; I think he's just always got a chubby when watching sports. He was screaming at random nothing plays, and he would just go from normal voice to scream to normal voice. It seemed really forced at times. It's jarring when it runs counter to what is actually happening. I know I'm in the minority but I just don't get the over the top love for his over the top emotion. He's better than most announcers out there, but he's still making the same stupid mistakes and missing obvious stuff, just not as bad as some of the hacks. I don't have a problem with him overall, I just don't get the love.
-
I forgot about this earlier but watching the KC/BUF game, aside from being ugly, reinforced the notion that Gus Johnson's forced enthusiasm is not nearly as endearing as most people insist it is. Randomly screaming at non-exciting plays gets old, and takes away from when his genuine enthusiasm.
-
They didn't even offer arbitration to the guy when he was younger and looking more stable. I really doubt they go three years on Wood, unless they are team options with incentives or something.
-
And at that point you don't hesitate to walk away. Also, yes nuts, you can and should dream.

Remlinger auctioning off Sosa's corked bat...

Go Sammy Go! -
True or not, can we not use this term when describing Kerry? He turns 34 years old this upcoming season and has no chance of starting again, so yeah, he's an aging reliever.
-
He had a 1.2 WHIP. Eh, I hadn't checked his numbers since the trade so all I remembered was his Cleveland WHIP this year. Still not worth it unless he's very cheap. I think he's worth it if it prevents them from signing somebody else to a 3 year deal, not to mention if it sends Cashner back to the rotation. They are going to sign somebody for the bullpen. Why not a guy who can conceivably pay for himself with the nostalgia sales?

He was cut by the team in August. I doubt he gets a ring... unless Brian Wilson punches him in the face with his. If Bengie Molina gets a ring (which it was reported earlier that he does) then so does Wellemeyer. I think anybody that was on the team at any time during the season gets a ring. A share of the prize money, that could be another story. My guess is they both get a partial share. I'm not sure if it's anybody who spent any time, but anybody who made 11 starts is getting his.

But didn't the whole thing start because New England wouldn't sign him to an extension? -
The thing I noticed about the lazy could have been TD replays is that one angle make it look absolutely horrible, and blatantly didn't try to catch an easy TD, but then the other angle makes it look like he was stumbling and lost track of the ball until he realized too late he was past it.

I was there last night. Am I going to die?

Read Drew Magery on kissingsuzykolber or deadspin

Not sure what you wrote makes what I wrote false. Favre didn't do anything to GB that he hasn't done to every other fan base. He kind of screwed over the Jets in that he retired to get out from under their control then came back to Minnesota. But they were happy to see him go much the way GB fans should be happy that he hasn't been their QB for 3 years.

Being able to go back to New England is going to be difficult. If I was Minnesota I'd file tampering charges if that occurred. -
It's understandable. But in the way that everybody hates Favre. He really didn't do anything to GB. To compare it to other people that we would all turn on if it happened is odd. They wanted him to retire so they could start on the Rodgers era before his rookie contract ended without knowing if they should reinvest in him. It's a specific situation because QB is a position that only one guy can play and the QB can't play another position. It's not like a starting pitcher being pushed aside for another starting pitcher, or a corner outfielder making room for another bat out there. Even a position like catcher allows for two different people to play with regularity. You can conceivably keep your old guys while you introduce your new guys. Favre was their starting QB and they didn't want to lose Rodgers. The did what they could to move past Favre and start anew. Favre wanted to keep playing. So he did. He's annoying as hell but he didn't really do anything to GB.
-
100% out of spite and nothing else or a fame whore who wanted attention? Can't be both.
-
Yeah, I'm not sure how that would work. I still think they should chop off the upper deck and start over with that somehow.
-
It happens. If it would have been Sandberg or Sosa or someone who did the same thing that Favre did only to end up in St. Louis just to stick it to us, Cubs fans would have felt the same way. What did Favre do? GB wanted him to retire, right?
