Word is the entire team has been sick to some degree all week.

 

[Dingleberry]

But, but, but, we want the opponents at full strength.

Puhleeze. I hope they all Donovan from both ends all over the field.

Hopefully the doctor was a pats fan and slipped some performance diminishing substances into the IV.

I am immunized against gates now, given that there will be gates even without anything actually happening. I am in the camp of getting any advantage possible.

By the way isn’t a bunch of medication considered to be PED? Are the Eagles CHEATING???

There’s two strains of flu going on right now, the most common strain is lasting 7-10 days. The flu hits everyone differently but it has been worse this year. The lungs will typically fill with some amount of fluid causing crackly lungs and a wet cough, the alveolar sacks will also tend to be fluid filled leading to increased temperatures and decreased gas exchange. An IV is only going to help with dehydration, it won’t make the lungs better, only lots of coughing, deep breathing and an incentive spirometer will help with that. Tylenol can help with temperatures and general aches but endurance and stamina during the game tomorrow should still be a huge issue for anyone who still has the flu. Increased activity will only exacerbate symptoms.

Easy big fellah. People are dying from this strain.

Regardless of strain the flu on average kills 35,000 Americans each year and 400-700,000 people worldwide. I have nothing against Agholor but pooping his pants on the field would be mildly entertaining. Maybe our Janet Jackson moment?

If they still have flu on Sunday, it’s going to really suck for them after halftime.

How hot does it get in the stadium after all the fireworks?

I agree. As long as he lives that would be funny.

My first take was...received four what? Guess I'm swept up in the Super Bowl.

I don't care as long as we get VI tomorrow!
