Question about "Doubtful" and "Probable"

[Keegs]

I was wondering something.

When is the last time a player listed as "probable" did not play???

When was the last time someone listed as "doubtful" did play???

If you can't think of any, what the hell is the point of the 2?

Why not just add a Most-likely-Playing and Uncertain categories to go with all the other bull**** ones?

well wasnt Seymour listed probable for a away game a few years ago but didnt play?

If I remember correctly:

Probable 75% chance of playing
Questionable 50% chance of playing
Doubtful 75% chance of not playing

see i could have sworn i read something similar about it, and how BB might have gotten into trouble or some crap....

but you know what i mean, besides BB jerkin everyone around i never see a doubtful guy play and a probable guy sit.

what is the point

Sunday.

Doug Gabriel.


The injury report consists of four categories that describe the condition of the player:

OUT: Definitely will not play.

DOUBTFUL: At least 75 percent chance will not play.

QUESTIONABLE: A 50-50 chance will not play.

PROBABLE: Virtual certainty that player will be available for normal duty.

I understand the 4 categories, i just thought there were 2 unneccesary ones.

I could have sworn Gabriel was Questionable.
