Shawn Andrews chemical imbalance thread

[PhillyGirl]

But you didn't cop to it.

Be a man.

I'd be depressed if I was 350 pounds and facing the realization than I'd be spending a month in the burning sun hitting other fat guys.

Andrews needs to suck it up and quit being a Hoyda. 

[hunt]

well, at least he's not a gay.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, really I only post on BSG anymore because FastFreddie left the EMB.  That's why I came here.  I love you FF!

Also I love me so no I am not depressed in any way.

Time to ban FF.

I have the worst fan club ever.

[The BIGSTUD]

If it is minor "break up with your girlfriend" depression, then he needs to suck it up. But, as it sounds, he may have some type of chronic depression due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. That he has no control over, which is why he said he is going on medication.

As of right now it is only speculation. Not use bashing him until anyone finds out what he is dealing with exactly. He could be bi-polar and that is very serious.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

This is a lot of fuel for those DT's to talk trash to him at the line of scrimmage.

[Rome]

Shawn just needs someone to listen to him and make him feel special.

[MadMarchHare]

Look if it's major, you know, life-threatening depression, why are the Eagles fining his ass?  Just say he's on medical leave and have done with it.

This all smells like bullshtein to me.  He's a big fat guy who can show up in September and play without camp.  He's willing to pay for the right.  Let him.

Probably the only reason why Reid doesn't have compassion for him (which is out of character for Reid not to stick up for his players) is because HE smells bullshtein as well

If Andrews thinks he's depressed now...wait till his teammates alienate his ass when he comes back.

Have fun Shawn.

Of course it's bullshtein, I used to get depressed before going on a 6 month deployment. It wasn't a mental illness it's human nature.

Found this on the EMB:

I am a die hard Eagles fan and have been so for more years than most of you have been alive.
You people who knock this fine young man don't know about life. Many people suffer from
various forms and degrees of depression, but Real Deep Depression can be worse than the
the most intense pain that one can feel. It also is far more difficult to treat , because taking
a pill does not relieve the cause of the depression, like taking a pain pill can relieve the pain.
Shawn is a sensitive human being. You can tell that by just listening to him when he speaks.
He needs all of us to support him at this time. He has given all of us great pleasure in the way
he has performed for our Eagles. I don't comment on the board that often, but as I have
commented in the past. I have watched the Eagles for over 50 years and was a season
ticket holder for 25 of those years. Shawn Andrews, my friends, is the best interior lineman
I have ever seen, and that goes back from Fuzzy Thurston to Steve Hutchinson. He needs us to
support him now. Lets give him some love and enjoy watching this mans play while he is with us.

Can i buy you in a store so you're mine forever?

do not use that on anything but the lowest grade chick ever

[General_Failure]

Don't use it on a black chick though, unless you like getting beaten.

[rjs246]

I'm excited that the team's starting right guard and one of the few dominant forces on the team is a sensitive little guy. Can't athletes ever just be normal? They're either showboating, wannabe movie star prima donnas, stripper slapping thug life punks, suicidal sensitive dandy-men or some hideous combination of all of those.

More Warrick Dunns.
Less Chad Johnsons.

[QB Eagles]

Don't use it on a black chick though, unless you like getting beaten.

I dunno, I've seen some black chicks who might actually quote you a price if you ask that.

[PhillyGirl]

I'm just wondering if people actually think having clinical depression means you're a Hoyda?
