Hate injuires but if you told me one had to happen and I got to pick who, he would be very high on the list.This. I hate injuries in football, but, I won't lose any sleep over this one. In fact, I might sleep a little better the night before the game.

I hate injuries, wish it didn't happen. I never like to hear excuses for losing "if only so-and-so was playing"
I want the Patriots to play the best, so they can be the best.
Screw that. Nobody felt sorry for us in 2008; in fact, many fans & players felt quite giddy.
He lied because that's who he is and teams usually have clauses in player contracts that prohibit players from engaging in certain activities that generally include basketball without prior team consent (which they usually give for things like charity appearances but not playing in semi pro pick up league tournaments as he supposedly was where things can get chippy). Bisciotti even built a court for them to play on amongst themselves. The Ravens don't have to pay him for any off season off premesis injury, but he is either pathological or he was playing the PR sympathy card (I was working on conditioning drills at home to be ready for OTA's) for the fans benefit just in case or it's a little bit of both in play. Oddly though, while the Ravens could use the cap space they reportedly will pay him anyway rather than alienate him or his teamates. Because they desperately need him to make it back and they want to sign him to an extension. And because when he doesn't play something he reports overweight and out of shape and underperforms...as he did in 2009.
The Eagles are basically deducting replacement cost from Peters salary. It's a teams decision how to treat money when players are NFI.
Agreed, the coverup clearly suggests he thinks he was in violation of his contract. That said, I think basketball is a pretty reasonable offseason activity. Unlike, say, riding a motorcycle without a helmet, basketball offers enough benefits in keeping up fitness, reaction time, etc. to offset the injury risk.
