This is typical boston sports journalism. Everyone knows Maroney had a minor injury during last weeks game. It has been reported all week. All week, people have been saying they did not think Maroney, Watson, Watson would play. All Tomase did was stir the pot (like these clowns in this town do that write for the papers - although some are very good and I got nothing against Tomase) saying Maroney was injured. No kidding. So all of a sudden, something that was known last Sunday, is all of sudden news? We should pannick because in the last preseason game, the future RB of this team did not play, even though everyone all week said (or thought) he wasnt gonna play anyways? Also, Pats never talk about how hurt someone is. Why would BB play someone with minor injury in last preseason game? Maroney will be fine and be playing next week. Also, if he had something seriously wrong with him, people would know about it by now.
At worst, even if he has some sprain or some tweak, and seeing that people have seen him during the game on the sidelines, during the week etc...and nothing is noticeably wrong, at worst his misses a game or two. Woohoo. He will be fine. I find it hard to believe we know all the people on the team that are hurt - Bruschi, Jackson etc....and right after these injuries happened the writers know about it. But this one they dont? It is just a paper trying to get people to read, and knuckleheads like me to post. Well done Tomase.
