StrangeSox Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 27, 2013 -> 06:19 PM) This would concern me if I was going to keep him on the roster. I know most people don't think marijuana is a big deal but it has a major impact on athletes especially football players. The TCH in it drastically slows down the inflammation and healing process. This is why people can get a medical prescription for it for chronic inflammatory diseases. In football with the beating they take smoking it will slow down their recovery and extend injury times. Many NFL players would use it because it made their soreness the next day less but in reality it extended the problem. It's a short term feel good for long term bad effects. We use to try to educate the players on it and some got it and others didn't. Sometimes there is a reason seemingly minor injuries take extra time to heal. Interesting info, thanks.

StrangeSox Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 28, 2013 -> 06:50 AM) When I used to drive down to school in Champaign, I would always try to keep it in the 70-72 range, never got stopped. Slow down when you see the signs for Rantoul, especially if it's a traffic-heavy weekend (start/end of breaks, Mom's or Dad's weekends, etc.).

Buehrle>Wood Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Can't wait to be extra paranoid on my trip to champaign tomorrow. I'm going to be checking my rearview mirror for an f16 gunning me down for going 74. Also, I'm too old for unofficial.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 28, 2013 -> 08:46 AM) Well apparently you know the worst kind, but at least when it comes to highway cops most I've talked to or read about say 20mph is the cushion they give which is why I always stuck with only going 75 down 57 and never had a problem. Well if you're ever in NY try driving 10-15 over and see how much fun you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not arguing that Flacco is an amazing superstar worth that kind of money, but his playoff run was pretty awesome. He threw for 3 TDs and 331 yards with a 116.2 PR in that game, even without that throw, he still had a pretty good game. Plus, he didnt have one turnover in the entire playoffs.

Very true, but without that play, his playoff run only lasts two games and a different QB wins the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cutler had the same month and the same result happened for the Bears, and he was given the same contract, most Bears fans would call it a fair deal.

Stevie J was out doing some recruiting on Bowe, but I'm OK with the Bills not signing him. He is like the most enigmatic WR in the entire NFL. He is a top 5-10 talent sometimes and there are other times you wouldn't even know he was out there. Maybe Reid can get some more consistency out of him. Obviously having Matt Cassel throwing to him didn't help matters. If they franchise Albert, they almost have to be looking pass rusher #1, don't they? They can trade down too, but they'd have to be willing to accept something really, really small to trade down (which wouldn't be a bad idea anyways).
