Wow. Rough offseason.

[blueballs]

and the Dolphin and Saban lovefest will be
in full swing if they beat the SB champs

[VonneMarie]

Good grief. Tough break.

[Skip Towne]

I'll bet his grandma is distraught. I'd better call her.

Karma has this guy's butt in its gunsights this year.

[Mr. Laz]

please put a more descriptive title so we don't end up with 10 reposts.

thank you

I have the Dolphins D/ST on my fantasy team. I don't like to see people go down, but I don't mind catching a break either.

John Clayton says not only is he out for the opener, he's questionable for "the next several games" after that. We play the Steelers week six... it'll probably be that one he comes back for. :banghead:

thank youEvery title on the front page could say "Big Ben has surgery" and some dipshit would still post it.

[Halfcan]

It is probably a sex change.

[Spott]

Batch was 2-0 as a starter for them last year.

If that is true, then that won't bother me one bit. One does have to wonder how rusty he will be, which could play to the Chiefs advantage.

[Skip Towne]

Guess who has the easiest schedule in the NFL this year? How the hell did that happen?

[Brock]

Uh....WTF is the big deal about having an appendectomy?

[BigRock]

If that is true, then that won't bother me one bit. One does have to wonder how rusty he will be, which could play to the Chiefs advantage.
He very well could be rusty, but it'll also be a road game at Pittsburgh with the crowd completely rabid for the return of their Super Bowl winning hero. The stadium will be pumped, their team will be pumped. It'll be a tough game anyway, no need to add to it.

He'll probably be back before then, but after Pennington last year and now Palmer, it wouldn't surprise me if KC is Ben's first game back. We seem to keep getting those games for some reason.

Nice scoop, Kathy. I just wanted to recognize that you posted a thread that wasn't 2 days old. Good job.

[Chieftain58]

Karma is getting him over "Not wearing a helmet."

[KChiefsQT]

poor lad.
