vontae: but coach, my groin is hindering my ability.

pagano: go see the training staff. we will let you rest for a few weeks and see what happens. we appreciate you fighting through this and getting on the field but we got some depth and we will be ok.

vontae: thanks coach


the end.

but we got the pagano version.

Fucking shift managers at McDonald's understand this management/coaching principal.

This shit is petty.

I don't know what Davis did to warrant this treatment, because maybe it is warranted. But this move seems almost malicious in nature, and it makes me question the ethics of everyone involved. The situation with Luck is also illustrative of this in the same way, at least IMO, because you seem to be hearing different stories from different sources.

The only source that I can really see has a history of misleading others, and any vested interest in lying, is the Colts. With all of this medical shit we are hearing, I'm wondering about former players of all talent levels from Bob Sanders to fucking Anthony Gonzales and wondering whether or not this organization is so incredibly incompetent and shitty that careers have ended early and games have essentially been lost.

Hopefully Irsay fires whatever medical staff the team has been employing since they've been shown to be incompetent fools and replaces them with much higher quality.

I could not agree more. I wonder how hard it is to replace a medical staff. I would guess it would have to be done after the season.

I remember when the team dropped Dr. Shelbourne and the team's care supposedly went down. It was a while ago and I forget who I was talking to. But supposedly the team that replaced that group was thought of as a downgrade.

Ugh, on the flip side Vontae was done this season, and I doubt we will resign him so...

Too bad though, weird way to go. Groin injuries suck and take forever to heal.

According to Will Carroll this medical regime has been in place for a decade and he considers then to be incompetent.

Probably came from Cleveland.

Do you know if they report to Ballard or to Irsay? I'm not familiar with that aspect of team structure. I hope that Ballard has the authority to clean the whole house from top to bottom.
