Colts Subvert Injury Reporting Rules on Luck

[NE_Zealot]

Jay Glazer with a report that Luck has been playing with multiple rib fractures in addition to his shoulder injury.

This reeks of Gump Manning's surprise quad injury nobody knew about after his early playoff exit last season. When the golden boys are sucking the media is quick to invent excuses for their poor play. Hilarious! But when the o-line couldn't protect Tom early last season it was because Brady was "in decline".

You know the NFL and "protecting the shield."

Sorry but not every story in the media is a shot at the Patriots.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Didn't brady play with injured ribs and made no excuses?

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

Patriots never announced Brady's injuries in his career and he had some really bad ones

 

[pwes]

Sorry but not every story in the media is a shot at the Patriots.

Seriously. Did this really need its own thread? This could have gone in the other week 8 games thread.

Sorry but not every story in the media is a shot at the Patriots.

I didn't take that as a shot at the Pats. I took it for what it was, an excuse for why SuckIsLuck.

Btw, I didn't hear any excuses when Luck was putting up very similar numbers in the past.

Luck only lost last year because the Pats cheated! And this year was because he hurt his shoulder! Oh and also he's had cracked ribs for like, a while! Leave Britney alone!

Never made any assertions that every story is a shot at the Pats.

I guess I took it as a shot because of the thread title "Media at it again."

 

[Ivan]

As I said to 1960 the title made it sound like it. Usually that title is accompanied by anti Patriots drivel.

If we lived in a society that fixated on language accuracy, we would have changed the word "journalists" to "agendists"

Don't see a thread on this yet:

Glazer on Fox had a report saying Andrew Luck has been playing with three fractured ribs since after Week 3.

Interesting bit: National writers I follow on twitter mention it as kind of a tribute to Luck's toughness. BLah lah blah. Boston writers point out that no such injury as appeared on injury reports, and aren't they supposed to? No national writers have pursued this angle.

Of course Colts have not confirmed the report ... but they haven't proven it to be false.

Didn't brady played with injured ribs and maded no excuses?

There is an ESL teacher somewhere who needs to be fired.

Hey Kravitz, someone hacked your Twitter:

Bob Kravitz ‏@bkravitz 17m17 minutes ago
Still hearing it's shoulder but if @JayGlazer report is right, Colts have to answer why luck is playing and why it's not on injury report.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Is Doyel going to write a column regarding the Colt's cheating?

 

[Deus Irae]

Next week, the Colts are going with "Luck, probable - Ouchie"

 

[rexxar]

What's the benefit of not reporting an injury to your starting QB?
