Default The technical term for Caldwell's condition is...

Exopthalmos.

Definition :
"Exophthalmos is a bulging of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit. Exophthalmos can be either bilateral (as is often seen in Grave's Disease) or unilateral (as is often seen in an orbital tumor). Measurement of the degree of exophthalmos is performed using an exophthalmometer."

http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Exophthalmos

Actually I'm not sure that his condition is THAT serious, but I heard the word used on the international spelling bee, and I thought of Caldwell right away. LOL.

Yea, I can't picture Caldwell without those eyes. So is it a bad disease or something, that might need treatment? I haven't heard anything about this, so I am just curious if there is something bad about it.

There might be. Evil "Ben" on LOST has the same condition.

It must be genetic. His younger brother has those same eyes.

Sometimes he looks totally normal though.

It seems it only happens when he is concentrating or is nervous or something.

I'm worried that one day, Reche's going to catch a ball and someone is going to lay a hit on him so hard that his eyes are going to pop out of his head.

I thought it was :

"diarrhea
di·ar·rhe·a
–noun Pathology. an intestinal disorder characterized by abnormal frequency and fluidity of fecal evacuations."

I'm sorry, I know he had a good season and a huge catch in the SD game. But I can't get over two insanely bad drops in the biggest game of the year. A few of you will yell at me but he ***** his pants.

Cincinnati game, and he was fine. He got hit really hard. I was worried, but then he was fine.

In the game before that against San Diego, the previous "biggest game of the year", he was hugely important in a very positive sense. It's sad that the only "biggest game of the year" that you're remembering is the Colts game, particularly since he was solid catching the ball all season long and by no means the biggest reason for the loss to Indianapolis.

I know but it is what it is and it was what it was.

I think Belichick told us exactly how he felt about the WR we had last year with what he's done this offseason.
