What's with Stork?

[RayClay]

No practice Friday, non injury. Inactive today. I have no problem with using Andrews and other linemen against Titans, but what is going on?

He supposedly has a non injury sprained ankle too. Weird.

Busy delivering babies today?

concussed while opening a box of cereal

Definitely an odd situation that I don't know if we will get much clarity on.

 

[patfanken]

This isn't good. Supposedly he's healthy, yet he's not even at the stadium. Until his situation is clarified count me as being worried about this....big time.

MRSA?

 

[Froob]

Stork is unable to deliver today it would seem.

Bryan Stork headed in the wrong direction. Usually an indication that he won't be active today. Or he left something in his car.

Giardi tweeted that Stork was at the stadium, but headed out prior to the game. CBS crew said "a personal situation," but apparently not a situation that prevents him from being at the stadium. Odd.

He hasn't had a chance to pick up new cleats since last week.

Calm down. As usual paranoia runs deep. Could be a bunch of very reasonable scenarios. Of course, that wouldn't play well here with everyone.

MRSA?

Worse. Like Brady and Gronk on Friday, he died.

Surprising none of these writers have come up with one, that's all.

Well, if we have to speculate, Belichick thought it was trash that Stork wasn't prepared for the cleat problem. You can't leave your QB out to dry like that.

I found it hard to believe that he didnt have back up cleats available. I play club rugby in the middle of VA on a team that hasn't had a winning record in a decade, and we all have spare cleats every game.

Not how I read it. Said he likes to wear them til they burst, likes them broken in. His others weren't broken in and the game was almost over. However, he showed up with n ankle on the injury report, if my memory serves, so it sounds like he was just BSing the reporter.

Mike Reiss asked what the situation was. Guess BB's response:

A) because we had 46 other players who are active.
B) Coach's decision.
C) he had a slight fever, we talked it over, thought it was a good idea to go see his primary care physician to check it out.

Hint: not C....

Thanks. wish him well and a good idea to get andrews some snaps. I wish more offensive role players go involved. Hated to see Brady need to force it into Gronk and Amendola have to field punts and get hurt again.

I think we're going to need offensive weapons like Keshawn and Hankerson.

So, no MRSA, no AIDS, no Singapore Flu, didn't break training rules, no DUI...
Maybe just a very human situation we all experience at times.

Which caused many to overreact, some are posting like they are in the gameday thread.
