OFFICIAL NFL Injuries: 2025 season

[Memento]

I was always in the Kobe camp because of the way he approached the game. I remember Magic really singing his praises in an interview where he tactfully was throwing Shaq under the bus at the same time. Shaq was a funny guy that many people liked but I kinda despised him for how he took everything for granted. That team could have won more titles if Shaq would have put in the work. He fired his free throw coach after he started to see results, he was constantly out of playing shape to start the season, and he simply relied on his size and the fact they had Kobe. Love him or hate him, Kobe was always about winning and respect for the game.

I think the main thing with Shaq was that he was the rare guy where everything comes naturally and easy to him (he’s the rare guy where he could be an elite athlete and rapper; yes, Shaq is an incredibly talented rapper), so he’s never had to grind before.

Not trying to excuse him. Just saying he got the genetic lottery, and it’s easier to not try in basketball if you’re naturally talented than other sports.

Shaq also got the crap beat out of him night in and night out, and because of his size it was overlooked by the fans and the refs.

I think it was Knute Rockne who once said, "Dont ever trust a Quarterback who wears eye-liner"
Or maybe it was the Onion...
Either way screw the Saints, they want to tank for Manning anyway

 

[Memphis Ram]

From what I've read the Saints already knew about Carr's shoulder situation.

There needs to be a rhyme for that. I can't think of anything.

Best one I remember is Suck for Luck.

Well, they can fire the coaching staff mid-season and call it the “Canning for Manning”
Or how about
“The losing March for Arch”
