Hall of Famer Upshaw loses battle with pancreatic cancer
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3545830 He was diagnosed with that cancer only last Sunday. This cancer is scary. Once you are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, you only have months or days to live... |

Yea, doesn't seem like he's goin anywhere anytime soon.
The PSU/OS lead was so commanding they switched to the Oklahoma Cincinnati game in my market now it's on the wake forest/ole miss game, Do they always do this? Last edited by solomon; 2008-09-06 at 17:48. |

This is the third or fourth time I've seen someone make a comment like this in a variety of online forums concerning Brady's injury. Perhaps the smiley is supposed to make it all okay?
Maybe I'm just an old fogy, but I don't wish for serious injuries to befall any of these guys. Yes, I live in Patriots country, but I'm not hoping that something bad happens to Brett Favre. Professional football is these guys' livelihoods. Maybe you object to the amounts of money they get paid, but remember that salaries are highly inequitable, and most players have a career that spans fewer than four seasons. Then they return to the real world, sell insurance, and try to recover from the aftereffects of injuries like concussions. Professional football is a brutal and often cruel game. I wish all the players a safe and healthy season.

Frankly, I'm hoping it's Romo that gets his next at the hands of the Eagles. I'm already tired of the Cowboys being the team to beat even though they haven't won a single playoff game since Troy Aikman. Yes, I'm bitter. As a Philly fan. Because Brady's like Michael Jordan. His job is to entertain, and IMO he always has. And I wanted to see our new Eagles give a full-powered Pats a run for their money. But now it's meaningless unless Belichick's system can run at 100% when having to replace the main piece with an inferior product. And I think the Pats should have had another shot at the Super Bowl. There is no justice in this world. Why do bad things happen to the people that deserve them least? Edit: At the end of the Super Bowl, I said that the Patriots got screwed as bad as Kira Yamato in GSD 34. I didn't think I was this correct. Hopefully Brady comes back better than ever in 2k9.

It was a great week to be an Eagles fan. Yes the Rams are a terrible team, but seeing the Eagles trounce them was pure enjoyment. Mcnabb is healthy again and can't wait for next week so we can knock the dailights out of those Cowboys. I also believe Mcnabb had the highest QB rating of the week until Cutler stole the spot.
As for Brady I'm kind of upset since I love watching the guy play. He is a true enjoyment to watch.
