Around The NFL - 2008

[Eagaholic]

I am really excited for the increased chance of TO getting suspended b/c of a supplement and then losing his shtein publically.
With 20(?) tests per season, the odds of this are greatly magnified.

TO's a lot of things but I don't think he takes teh drugs.  And I'm sure that Rosenpuke is going to strictly monitor the suppliments he's taking to ensure there's no accidental pops. 

It wouldn't suprise me if it somehow came out he took HGH or something else the NFL doesn't test for. It also wouldn't suprise me one bit if he's on Prozac or some such thing, and continued psyche care was a prerequisite to being re-signed. Actually, I think the manufacturer lists 'leading the league in dropped passes' as a possible side effect of Prozac.

in what might win the best news of the year category bryant gumbel is out as nfl network play by play guy and will be replaced by bob papa

[Diomedes]

That Bryant Gumble was out has been known for a long time, hasn't it?  The news is that Papa will replace him?

Also...millions of us don't have NFL Network, so this means exactly squat.

Yes

  The news is that Papa will replace him?

Yes

Also...millions of us don't have NFL Network, so this means exactly squat.

The NFL and ESPN are supposedly trying to do some sort of merger so that the NFLN will be available to more viewers.  Not that it matters, between your errands, farged up neckspine and baby making, you probably won't have the time to watch anyway.

April 12 NY Times

LOS ANGELES -- Bryant Gumbel has given up his role as an NFL Network play-by-play announcer after two seasons.

The NFL Network said Friday it was looking for a new play-by-play announcer to work with Cris Collinsworth on the network's Thursday and Saturday night games.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to call NFL Network games the past two years, which was a new experience for me," Gumbel said in a statement. "But we've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions."

Gumbel was brutal in the booth. Glad they finally shteincanned him.

Rams RB Steven Jackson recently talked about a new health care procedure:

"I had a colonic," Jackson said, referring to the trendy colon-cleansing therapy that is akin to an extended enema on steroids. "My girlfriend had the bright idea: 'Let's go get your system cleaned out.' It lasted about 45 minutes, and by the end, I (expletive) wanted to cry. Let's just say I got stabbed in the (rear) six times."

There's more if you're interested:

"I went in there and put on a hospital gown and lay there face up on a table with a hole underneath, and I was totally nervous.

"My hands were covered in sweat, and the (colon therapist) lady comes in and starts talking my ear off. There's this thin hose-type-thing that you put up there that shoots water into you and sucks everything out, but I had trouble getting it in, and then it kept coming out. The lady had to come back six different times and put it back in there. It was brutal."

Interjected Jackson's girlfriend: "Trust me, she didn't mind. I was having mine done in the next room, and she kept coming in to tell me how fine he was. I was like, 'Could you please stop hitting on my boyfriend while you're cleaning out my colon?' When we got done and he walked out to the waiting room, I said, 'Steven, are you OK?' He said, 'I don't want to talk about it.' I swear to God, he looked like a kid who'd been in there with R Kelly."

Steven Jackson's girl is actually witty.

[rjs246]

Yeah, R. Kelly jokes are so fresh!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They aren't as fresh as the urine in your Cheerio(s).
