IIRC, Norton's was a torn biceps, not a torn pec.

Oh, it just didn't seem to fit with the discussion about Crick. I just thought there might have been another thread discussing Jenkins and you forgot which thread you were in. My bad.

I'll have one done by the afternoon, probably the Cowboys one.

I'm struggling on the NFL mock, I'm begging to believe I'm over thinking it.

I don't blame you with the 20+ prospects going in the first ten picks.

It's funny because it's a joke and that's the way it seems but at the same time I'm pulling my hair out cause that's what I'm trying to do!

Really what it is, picks 3, 7 and 10. Minnesota can set this whole thing off one direction or the other. Then it has the chance to right itself at 7 or just blow the rest of the round to hell.

I ran into that in mine as well, Sdogo. I had scenarios where the Vikings went with Claiborne and it righted itself, and others where it twisted the whole thing. The worst one for figuring it out, though, was when I put in a trade between Tampa Bay and Minnesota. Tampa jumped from 5 to 3 and took Richardson ahead of Cleveland, leaving the Browns with the choice of Claiborne or Blackmon. They went with Blackmon, but it then led to another trade back for Minnesota because another team jumped up to 5 to get Claiborne. After about pick #11 and three trades...or was it four...I just threw the damned thing away and said, "If that happens, I'll just be wrong."

Oh yeah, I don't even do trades. It's too much. If I feel real strongly about a trade I'll peg that prospect at the teams current slot. I get hell for a player dropping or a team reaching but I can't even start to break trades down. Besides, too often I would get the player/team right but have them trading with the wrong team and cost myself points.

Oddly enough I heard the same thing, but it isnt because of his pectoral. It was described to me as a "serious" health issue.

Now being told, not by the same person it's been said he may have a degenerative muscle condition.

Oh snap!

Terrible for him if true.

yeah, good kid, big heart, amazing motor. He really seemed to wear down before the injury then just never got back on track. Took much longer to heal then thought. This very well could explain all that.

To be this close to what has probably been his lifelong dream (NFL) and have something like that crop up has to be a horrible feeling... not to mention what it could mean for the rest of his life.

Just awful. I hope it isn't true.

I give a ****. Take him in a later round and give him a paycheck and a chance to bust some heads. He is a football player. He can set himself up for life in a couple of seasons. Give him a shot.

Problem is, IF the reports are true that it's a degenerative muscle condition it will be a uphill battle for him to say healthy for 16 games not to mention his endurance.

This stinks.

aaaahhh.. thanks for the correction.. now it made sense why he was able to play and Crick was shut down.
