The issue isn't Light -- he'll be fine by gametime. The issue is that this might be presaging the bug doing a slow burn through lots of the team. It's the players who might come down with it Thurs, Fri, Sat, or Sun I'm concerned about.

As long as Light has not been showering shall we say "up close and personal" with lithe, muscular sleek young team mates like Sea Bass and Solder than the infection may have run its course

too late--Vollmer already sick.

Where did you hear this? This is exactly what I was worried about.

Yawn. If you're going to quote the first google link you come across, you should at least include the parts that detract from your argument.

I work in healthcare. It is required virtually everywhere as a staff member or student in the field to have one yearly. To quote your own source and based upon my own experience, I imagine the chances of life threatening conditions are the same as someone winning the lottery twice or the Jets establishing a dynasty starting next season since "life threatening" side effects are listed with numerous other commonly administered vaccines.

As some of you know I am in the Air Force, and we are required to get a flu shot every fall. One year there was a mild flu outbreak in NJ where we were stationed and it was before the base had the flu shots/nasal mists for distribution. Both my sons were sick, my wife had it, and I had it. That was the only time since high school I had the flu (15 years).

Circumstantial? Possibly. But if I was running a team AND I went through this before, I'd have them all getting flu shots. One poster suggested every bye week, that sounds like a solid plan. Not a doctor, didn't stay at a Holiday Inn; just giving a semi informed opinion based on my long history of seeing them work pretty damn well.

I hope this is the end of it...as this doesn't make me happy.

Given the way I haven't had a class with 100% attendance since the new year, yeah, there is a lot going around and it is getting around quickly. However, most of my kids who are sick are back within a day or two and are back to "normal"...if there is such a thing for them.

First thing the Pats players should say to the Giants when they walk by during warm ups: "Not only are we going to win this thing today and send you back to New Jersey as losers, but we've all got a stomache bug so you'll go back cr*pping in your pants and then will infect your families."
