Chicago Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher acknowledges in the latest edition of Real Sports on HBO that he uses the painkiller Toradol.

“You drop your pants, you get the alcohol, they give you a shot, put the band-aid on, you go out and play,” Urlacher told interviewer Andrea Kremer. “Not that big of a deal.”

Urlacher compared it to getting a flu shot, but Kremer’s report pointed out there can be serious consequences from taking the drug, including kidney failure and gastrointestinal bleeding. Urlacher said he had been unaware of the consequences, but once he was told about them he said he would still take the drug, which masks pain from head to toe.

“First of all, we love football,” Urlacher said. “We want to be on the field as much as we can be. If we can be out there, it may be stupid, it may be dumb, call me dumb and stupid then because I want to be on the football field.”

Urlacher also said he would not admit to team medical personnel if he thought he suffered a concussion.

“If I have a concussion these days, I’m going to say, something happened to my toe or knee just to get my bearings for a few plays,” he said. “I’m not going to sit in there and say I got a concussion, I can’t go in there the rest of the game.”

Toradol is legal and non-addictive and administered by team doctors in the NFL. Former NFL center Jeremy Newberry said he would sometimes see 20 or 30 players lined up before a game to get a shot of the drug.

Newberry said Toradol “makes you feel like Superman for three hours,” but the 35-year-old now is suffering from stage three kidney failure that doctors attribute to Toradol.

I think I read a while back it's the VP of PR or communications or some shit like that, which makes it so much better.

Billy Cundiff Rushed His Kick Because Of An Error On The Gillette Stadium Scoreboard

...

Cundiff told me he initially thought he was at fault, that he had looked at the scoreboard too early, before the down number had been changed. In fact, the Gillette Stadium scoreboard was off by a down. On Monday, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs told ESPN that Ravens players thought the team had made a first down after receiver Anquan Boldin fumbled out of bounds on first-and-10 from the Patriots' 23-yard line. Instead, the ball was marked where Boldin had lost it, a yard short of a first down. On second and third downs—which the scoreboard said were first and second—Ravens threw unsuccessfully into the end zone. Ravens P.R. director Kevin Byrne told me—and Cundiff later learned—that team officials watched the All-22 video of the game on Monday and confirmed the scoreboard malfunction.

The refs make the first down calls, not the scoreboard operator.

If anything, Cundiff should have turned to Harbaugh and said he wasn't ready if he felt rushed ... they had a time out left.

And just to be clear, because deadspin likes to bury things to make stories more edgy or controversial ...

Cundiff blames no one but himself for the miss.

Yeah, not sure why the hell they would not have called a timeout there, it was an obvious 'rush' situation and they had the timeout to burn.

I feel badly for him as he is going to lose his job. But this was a colossal error by Lee Evans (you can take the man out of Buffalo but you cant take the Buffalo out of the man) and then Cundiff.

Manning's response to Rob Lowe tweeting his retirement announcement:

“I never thought `Sodapop Curtis’ would announce my retirement,’’ Manning said, laughing, referring to Lowe’s character in the 1983 movie “The Outsiders.’’ “I always thought I would be the one to announce it. I’m a huge fan of the movie, but that caught me way off guard. I can’t explain it. I know he (Lowe) is a friend of Jim’s (Irsay), and Jim sounded surprised.’’

His future is in Jim Irsay's hands. The new GM will not be a factor according to Manning.

There is no such thing as a "PED" in football. Those things only exist in baseball.
Everyone in football is clean........
