• I was just as impressed by Matt Cassel. I, too, had an emergency appendectomy and couldn't imagine playing football 11 days later. Mine was in the offseason, so I wasn't faced with Cassel's decision to play through it. But I do know it was a very, very painful surgery. The hardest thing to do as I recovered was to stretch or turn to the side, and that's what Cassel did on each of his 29 passing attempts Sunday. That had to be excruciating. I applaud you, Matt Cassel.

Anybody making 63,000,000 should have played the week before.

Cassel is a tough SOB.

He is the anti-Croyle when it comes to durability and winning.

Shit, he should have just had them perform the damn surgery on the plane out to San Diego...what a pussy...

No knock on Cassel, he's starting to grow on me, but Bettis is hands down the worst writer in sports.

I'm not going to be a believer until he can lead a last-minute touchdown drive in the playoffs while removing his own appendix without anesthetic.

Dammit, Rainman, way to move the goal posts. Are you saying Matt Cassel has two appendices?

I won't be impressed until he grows a second appendix just so he can remove it while winning a game on the road in the playoffs after being down by 2 scores in the 4th quarter when the running game isn't working and the dome has collapsed.

Then you'll NEVER be a believer. He has no appendix to remove.

Cut Rain Man a break! He simply forgot to mention that Cassel would first re-insert his appendix during the Chiefs opening drive of that same game.
