Spikes injured?

[blackglass3]

It was SanAngeloState who said that.

SanAngeloState over reacted and said something kneejerk? I am SHOCKED!!

Glad Spikes is OK. He's going to be a very good, maybe even great Patriot, for years.

ANYTHING w/ KNEE'S being injured SUCKS




Phucking idiot... why play basketball? jesus

you are safer getting SMASHED at a bar than playing B-Ball. High Ankle sprains, Acl/mcl tears... perhaps a meniscus



goodjob Spikes I use to like you, but you are dumber than I expected :bricks:

His agent says he's not hurt. I'll consider it a non-issue until proven otherwise.
Twitter / ProFootballTalk: Agent says Brandon Spikes ...

May well be a non issue but that link doesn't lead to anything...

Spikes certainly hasn't tweeted anything about being injured, only that he's mourning the death of a friend. And he is tweeting.

You and SanAngelo should have your very own sub forum...

Mmm, I thought Spikes has been saying his friend died; that's what I get from the Spikes Twitter account.

I have to agree. How many NFL players don't play a game of basketball at some point in the offseason? In fact, my guess is that the reason you hear about bball injuries so much is simply because it's the most popular offseason athletic activity. If everybody in the league were, say, going ice climbing or cave diving or racing motocross, the consequences would be far, far worse.

Or to put it another way...you know how everybody raves about all the soccer Welker puts in to improve his footwork? If tomorrow he tears his achilles playing soccer, does that mean he's been an idiot all along?

Anyway, best wishes for good health to Spikes.

It might be due to the fact that Spikes has done some other very stupid things and it's starting to look like a trend.

Heh!

I only hope that the fish are biting like this

Yeah, I figured there was sarcasm there but I'd hardly say I bit. Fact is Spikes is Tweeting about the death of a friend today.

He also does some stuff about "please don't oh please don't be broke" and he answered "SMH" (short for "shaking my head", which means dissapointment) responding a tweet asking if he's injured.

I'd trust Rosenhaus more, although it's hard to trust an agent!

Even if the story is true, I'd hardly classify playing basketball in the offseason as a "very stupid thing".

 

[NEPats1]

Honestly I would have felt better if his agent didn't say anything, I don't trust anything Drew Rosenhaus says!

Yup; not enough info to say one way or another for sure. [Edit: Maybe Spikes was "Shaking my head" 'no'. ]

In terms of intensity, how hard was he going at it? I’ve played light-moderate racketball and been able to get a solid workout out of it without having to go full-bore, which would commonly result in an injury or sprain when I did.

After 6 years of posting here, I still get amazed over the type of posts that I see from "patriots fans". And when one goes away, someone else registers to take their place.

Maybe the new CBA will provide a palstic bubble for every player. Then they won't pull a hammie on the golf coarse during the off season.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Playing pickup hoops is aerobic and something most of us have done. At least he avoided risky activity like that really scary water slide Tom Brady went down.

It's looking like Spikes pulled a flock of sheep over the eyes of the ADHD Chicken Little Pats fans who go knee jerk galactica over any unconfirmed "report" on the net...

Fans of every team do this. If the player is popular, excuses are made. If the player is one of the whipping boys, it becomes a feeding frenzy bagging on the guy.

Basketball!? Who does Spikes think he is engaging in a healthy cardiovascular activity in the offseason? He should be doing nothing and getting fat. They should be all getting fat. Then we can call them lazy instead of stupid.

Oh, no question, he's been plenty dumb in the past. I just can't see shooting some hoops with his buddies as part of that trend. From the tenor of this thread, you'd think he'd gotten hurt juggling flaming chainsaws on a tightrope.
