I have never wished injury on any professional player. But this season, it was like Christmas in September. First Hill goes down for several games in week one right aft he signed his big deal, then the overrated Ben Rothlessberg blows out his elbow (as God planned
- Ben's words not mine)
Actually he's been a good QB for a lot of years, better than Eli. But my hate goes more to the person, who I have met and can attest that he is a first class Jackass, aside from being a sexual predictor.
The Steelers are STILL on the hook for over $55MM in injury guarantees so I wonder what his motivation will be for him to come back. BTW- While I was at the pharmacy waiting for a prescription to be filled, I read a great Brady article in Men's Health. In it the writer meets Brady in the Bahamas this spring and details the workout Brady goes thru to prepare for the upcoming season and the TB12 methodology he uses.
He chronicled how he came upon Guerrero (thru Mcginest) and the arm and elbow problems he was having from lifting and throwing. I never thought of Rothlessberger as being a "pliability" kind of guy, but he was the first one I thought of when I read the article.. Can you picture him showing up at Patriot Place and pulling up to TB12 looking for Alex.
I really thought Ben had one step out the door before he signed this new deal. Now he has all those injury guarantees kicking in that he NEVER has to come back. Just make an attempt, rub his arm, shake his head, and collect his Millions. Just what that fan base deserves. (You think we are entitled. Those fans have THOUGHT they've been entitled since the early 70's.)
