Three more players done for the season:

• Hines Ward's block on Keith Rivers broke Rivers' jaw, knocking him out for the season.
• Brodie Croyle apparently suffered ligament damage for the season, and appears to be done for the season, just after returning from the separated shoulder he suffered in the Pats game.
• Jerry Jones says that Roy Williams broke his right forearm and is done for the season. Luckily for the Cowboys, this is safety Roy Williams, so that's likely to improve their defense.

Makes you wonder what--if anything--can be done to make the game safer.

Oh--as an extra bit of WTF?--apparently Cleveland still has a staph problem.

Roy Williams is a cheap shot douchebag. I have no sympathy for him.

This was exactly the mindset of a non-Pats fan in week 1. Tom Brady is a run-up-the-score douchebag. I have no sympathy for him.

Except, even setting aside my homer glasses, there's an obvious distinction: Williams has repeatedly injured players as a direct result of deliberate actions on his part that would not be necessary if he, you know, knew how to f'ing tackle properly.

Someone forward this to Goodell, who for some reason, despite the pleas against his plan by the players, wants to expand the season.

That's too bad though about those guys, especially the young guys who could get a lot of benefit with consistent playing time in a rebuilding year.

Pats726

That is really a lot..more than I thought,,and definitely MORE than the usual amount of players injured...did King make any real comparison with past years as to the amount? Did he venture at all to guess why that is happening?? I agree it is a LARGE concern..not good at all.

D-Money

Roy Williams was never good to begin with.One of the most overrated players in the league.
