Vereen has the flu looks like

questionable....get the IV bags out!

Time for Shane to pull a Jordan

as long as it isn't man flu...

As long as it not Ebola, he will be fine

Whenever I see "out (flu)" or "questionable (flu)" I can't help but think of the @)&$(@%#^%%)@$ 2006 AFCCG.

Tough to play when your doing the squatoosie running to the toilet.

Still has two more days to break it and hit the field. If he misses the Bears game, it's not a huge loss. As long as he isn't missing the Denver game.

May not need him...but it will make it a lot easier IMO

As long as he didn't recently come back from Africa helping the sick like all these people are with ebola...he should be fine

But poster Gronkowski123 or whatever blamed this all on Kraft not spending money... why didn't Kraft invent a cure for the flu? d%#*!@t Kraft

(and I have Karl Marx in my avatar! But if you're going to make a critique of capital, at least avoid the most vulgar of vulgar arguments)

Is it flu season in Boston yet? Don't the team get flu shots?

Someone remind me of the thing with the 2006 AFCCG?

If you don't remember that game, it's a good one to forget, believe me ...

I'm not going to bring up the details, but they're all here:

Flu season came a bit early here. I've already had it, as has my youngest daughter. A lot of people around here have been whacked with this thing in the last week or so.

Glad I had my flu shot before flying in, then. Still not thrilled that the Pats might have not had them.

Don't confuse "flu" with actual influzena. Most of the things that people and the media around here call "flu" isn't influenza. Most often it is "stomach flu" which is usually actually norovirus (i.e. cruise ship plague). No shots for that. Given the 2006 reports (dehydration, puking, etc.) that's what the team had then. And I suspect that's what Vereen has now.

If Vereen even has a chance of playing Sunday or is practicing next week, he didn't have the real flu. That'll lay you out good.

i haven't gotten the flu in about 5 years..but every winter..always get a really bad cold with horrible congestion for 2-3 weeks. haven't gotten a flu shot since 07. Not even proven to help so not worth it for me to get it if i rarely get flu

Let me tell you mooks something...that is NOT the flu you got in the past month...it's this freakin' "uh,chest cold going around". I got my flu shot last month. Last week I spent two days hacking, spitting up, head in a vise, glands swollen...so bad all I ate was chicken soup for a day and half. Then it went to my lungs and I wheezed like a squeezebox for a few more days. I was fine at the Jets game. Next day? Gates of hell. Maybe it was exposure to the green slime that did it.

I hope the young man feels better soon. I'll be praying for his speed recovery.
