didn't dawkings have one a couple years back. he was out for about 6 weeks if i remember.
QuoteAccording to those close to McNabb, the MRI was not conclusive enough to determine whether or not McNabb had an abdominal strain or a sports hernia. Often an MRI doesn't show a sports hernia in the early stages. In fact, in many cases a proper diagnosis cannot be made for quite a while.
Noting to be concerned about...yet. But something they definitaly need to monitor.
He's playing like it now.
Can't step into throws - Dierdork keeps saying it, but its true.
Andy MUST RUN THE BALL.

Yup
Raiders are dropping their entire Defense into coverage challenging AR to run the farging ball. Don't get me wrong, McNabb doesn't look like his normal self, but the rest of the team/coaches needs to give him a hand...especially if he's nursing an injury.
Some of those dropped passes have been more the receivers fault.

There have been way more overthrows, underthrows, and light throws than McNabb usually tosses. Drops will always happen and are never excusable, but I don't think I'm seeing them more than normal.
Reid was asked about it in the postgame conference and he said that it's officially an "abdominal strain"...
This really sucks ass.
this is why we have Neckbeard.
Duce played a season with a hernia too.
And Reid said it was an ab strain.
Hail Neckbeard!
So is Mcnabb getting another MRI done or something?

No he's scheduled for an abdominal implant to replace his damaged model.
Akers should be put down like a lame horse. First he whines about his contract and then he starts the season 2 for 48 or whatever. Get his ass out of here.
You know I hate the public contract crying...
But that was david Akers kicking the GW FG yesterday, ya know.
McNabb needs to not practice until Thursday. At ALL. Let his ab strain rest and heal and do whatever therapy Burkholder has in store for him.
But that won't help a hernia, if that's the problem.

I tend to believe Reid over Jay Glazer. Sorry.
Well, Reid didn't exactly deny it, PG. He stepped around the question. And McNabb didn't deny it either.
Reid said he viewed it as a abdominal strain now, yes. But he also said that they're hard to diagnose.
I'm not ruling it out especially after listening to Donovan.
Either way, he needs to rest up. We need him (obviously)
If he does start in KC he better not throw the ball more than 20 times. And if he does, he better have a ton of dink and dunk in there.
It's time to give Westbrook 25 carries and Gordon another 10-15. Shoot...how about activating Moats and giving him a few runs too.
But, doesn't Reid have a bit of a history of soft-pedaling injuries?
Just to speculate if it does turn out to be a hernia, if they determine that Donovan should have surgery, and if the recovery time is approximately 4-6 weeks (i.e., Dirk Johnson's sports hernia), maybe they should consider doing it now. They need a healthy Donovan for the stretch-run and playoffs more than they need him in October, IMO.
Hopefully, it is just a strain and he can play through it. I'd just hate to see it affect him all season long, or get worse in November/December, when it'll be too late to address for 2005.

LOL...and I thought his voice was just hoarse adn hurting from yelling "PASS" 52 times yesterday.
What exactly is a sports hernia?
Will #5 be able to play through it long-term?
Is there any reason on Earth that David farging Akers will not be rested for the next few weeks until he's healthy?
I don't know if McNabb can play through it long term, but Duce played most of 1998 with one.
RE: Sports Hernia (also known as an Inguinal Hernia), from WebMD.com:

QuoteInguinal Hernia
Sports hernia
A sports hernia is an injury of the inguinal area caused by repetitive twisting and turning at high speed. This type of hernia occurs mainly in people who play ice hockey, soccer, and tennis.
Although the condition is known as a hernia, in many cases an obvious hernia is not seen. The main symptom is groin pain that may reach into the genital area. The pain can linger for weeks or months. Sports medicine experts think that the condition results from overuse of groin muscles, which causes stress on the inguinal wall.
A sports hernia can be difficult to diagnose. Often an athlete has had lingering groin pain for months. A health professional may note inguinal tenderness but find no bulge of tissue. To help diagnose a sports hernia, the athlete may be asked to perform maneuvers, such as sit-ups, to see whether they cause pain.
Resting the groin muscles for several weeks sometimes can resolve the problem, but in many cases surgery is needed to reinforce the inguinal wall. Competitive athletes may prefer to have surgery right away to resolve the problem.
The Inquinal area refers to the Inquinal canal, through which a male's testicles descend from their abdomen to their scrotum during prenatal development. For most adults, this canal closes by age two, but can stay open into adulthood.
Sounds delightful.

Glazers article is only speculation
Remember how we were joking about that pic of Donny Mac on SI looked like he pissed his pants?
Well, I got SI the other day and Donny has a bag of ice shoved down his pants.
You can see plastic sticking out of his pants in the photo since it is blown up on the cover and I'm like...what the heck is that plastic sticking out of his pants? And that would make sense being it looked like he pissed himself + the area needed to be iced down.
I betcha that was a little uncomfortable.
Does not sound good. Why this season of all seasons. WHY!?? :'(
A friend of mine who played semi pro hockey had a surgery on both sides and he missed 3 weeks.Not a 100% but he was back playing.This is speculation but that's what I'm here for ;)
Reid made it sound like the chest injury was the most serious thing right now.
That description hurt just reading about it. Thanks a lot, Jeff. >:D

funny thing, i watched the E-AG-L-E-S movie on saturday, and was watching the deleted scenes and stuff, and one of the clips was Reid driving with someone interviewing him, and he was asked about his press conferences, and he said "well some of them (the media) want more info and personality, but i cant budge, and i will only give them the info
i want them to have."
that is pretty much a direct quote. take it for what it's worth, aka...his press conferences are worth nothing.
another deleted scene in the movie was westbrook being asked who he was a fan of growing up, and he said "Growing up, i was a taterskin fan in maryland because they were winning superbowls, then when dallas started winning in the early 90's i started to root for them."
farging frontrunner.

oh come on...no I have nothing but sarcasm to contribute?
