semi OT, Zach Thomas and Joey Porter

[spacecrime]

Okay, so Zach Thomas may miss the Jets game because he is being tested for a possible concussion from last week's game:

That makes sense. He's a MLB. But what do you make of Joey Porter's comments on the subject:

Teammate Joey Porter said Thomas displayed no symptoms during the game, other than repeatedly wanting a new mouthpiece.

"When you have a concussion or something, a new mouthpiece always fits tighter and you get a better grip on it," Porter said. "He had a mouthpiece, but he just wanted another one. A brand new one is harder. The old one, you tend to chew on it, and you wear it out a little bit."

Sounds like he was just ranting about mouthpieces. The man better be saving his money because after football he couldnt get a job at a McDonalds.

LOL. What it sounds like he's saying is that you'd think Zach would have wanted to use his old mouthpiece since it's softer than a new one and wouldn't likely cause the same type of pressure on your lobe....but that's only my guess

Zach and Jason, come on up to the Patriots.......Porter is an azztunnel.

There was an article posted here last summah about how a dentist who supplies the Patriots has invented a mouthpiece that greatly reduces the incidence of concussions. Playing soon after a concussion has LONG TERM health impact on a player. Sit out the Jets game, Zach.
