Around the NFL - 2013

[Sgt PSN]

Dude's gotta be done, right?  I mean, he might stick around for a couple more years because another team or 2 will be delusional enough to think that he'll ever get back to 2010 form, but as far as him being a dominant TE, it's gotta be pretty much over for him.   

[QB Eagles]

Disagree. The last three years he has double digit TDs. I don't see the back surgery as that big of a deal. Unless he fargs up that forearm again early this season, I believe he'll be gronkin it yet again. He probably will get injured again because he seems prone, but he's a force when he's out there and I think he will be for a few more years before entering an Antonio Gates-like decline.

[Sgt PSN]

I guess what I should have clarified is that if/when healthy he might still be a legit threat to go 10/100/2 in a game, but he only seems to be getting less durable with each passing year.  And his injuries are lengthy to come back from.  It's not like he just keeps getting ankle sprains or something.  Seems like once he goes down, he's down for a while.  His forearm is already an issue.  And now he's having back surgery.  Can't imagine that he's going to be all-around stronger after that.

Summary:

He's done but he'll still be a threat to go 10/100/2 every game.

Got it.

Shut up, you're an idiot.

[Munson]

Yeah Gronk is still a monster. I say he'll be out there for 14 games this year, and still go for 900+ and 12+

[ice grillin you]

he will be done whenever brady is done...hes good but hes just another TE without 12...brady makes men out of mice

If there is any doubt left in your mind that Donovan McNabb is a class A farging douchebag, read Mike Wise's recent column wherein he basically turns the entire piece over to 5 so he can talk down to RGIII.  It's a staggering example of...of... I want to farging punch the guy.

[Diomedes]

here's the piece I'm talking about

Beware, it will make you indignant and furious and possibly choke to death with rage.  And not least because this idiot Wise didn't write a goddamn thing here.  He just got an idiot to blather and relayed the shteinflow to the world.

[Zanshin]

I'm sure McNabb is exactly the guy Shanahan wants RG3 taking tips from. I mean, McNabb was such a raging success in DC, it's a no-brainer.

Trent Richardson out until August with a lower leg strain that could develop into a stress fracture

The source cited Kevin Ware, the basketball player from Louisville whose leg snapped on a seemingly routine play, as the worst case scenario that this injury could develop into.

[shorebird]

McNabb can school RGIII on how to show up to camp fat and out of shape. Then he can show him how to look like a raging dork off the field.

Matt Birk skipped out on the Super Bowl champ's customary visit to the White House as a protest against Obama/Planned Parenthood. 

[Rome]

Protesting Planned Parenthood is farging hardcore!
