Every time a see something like that I pray for a Stinger not a Stingley.

Really concerned about Collins. For human reasons obviously. But also, Collins has been a Perennial Pro Bowler. When we had the thread about possible future Hall of Fame players, I listed Collins as a probably if he continued his pace and we kept winning SBs. Think about it, a multiple SB winning team and you're the perennial Pro Bowl FS. Looks really good on your resume.

So hopefully it's nothing and he'll return this season.

I agree with Porforis. There is way too much bickering going on anymore. Let's all just relax, act like adults which I assume we all are, enjoy our team whether they win or lose, and show respect and appropriate concern for a fallen player.

Charley Casserly of CBS reports that Collins has movement in all extremities and a CT scan was negative.

To AABP, thank you for the update, that is good news about it coming back negative.

I have found it interesting how much the media drives things. I doubt any of my friends who are not Cheeseheads even know who Nick Collins is, but they'd be able to pick Clay Matthews out of a lineup if he had a mask on. Collins deserves more attention than he receives, but I love that he does not look for it. He plays hard, gets results, and is professional about it.

I am actually all about concern for our players. I hope Collins is alright, of course -- everyone does. But if there's concern for Collins, why allow repeated snarky jabs at Mike Neal? You can see it in a number of threads, and it's all coming from one person. I made it clear a few weeks ago that I'm jumping on the disrespectful/alien-logic comments. Sorry if it causes every thread to devolve into name calling. There are, however, a number of posts that go unanswered. I still can't understand why there's any vitriol against Neal. He's a 2nd year player who has fought like a mofo to get on the field.

Now, I have nothing to add in the Collins discussion other than "Yeah, I really hope he is alright," so if everything else I have to say is irrelevant I will bow out. No hard feelings.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Most position players have similar builds. CBs look like CBs, safeties look like safties, O linemen and D linemen can be a bit more interchangable but still, players you don't know tend to blend together unless there's hair sticking out the back of their helmet or they're a Raji or Finley.

All kidding aside, it looks like all signs are positive at this point. Great news.

I believe that Jeremey Thompson had spinal stenosis. This the same condition that ended Terrence Murphy's career. These guy likely had this condition for awhile but it was only diagnosed after getting imaging work up for a neck injury. I doubt this is the case with Collins.

I wish him nothing but the best, but if I had to guess, I would think that he'll be okay to play later this year after hearing the CT was negative.

According to this source , Nick Collins has normal feeling and complete movement in his extremities and will be staying overnight in the hospital as that's protocol. Apparently players knew right away he had movement in his extremities but it was precautionary.

I noticed Nick trying to move his head and one of the coaches/assistants firmly held his head in place so he couldn't move.

All indications are Nick will be okay. That means more to me than the win.

In '08, led the NFL in INT yards and INT TDs with 295 yards and 3 TDs.

Had 21 INTs and 1 sack in his first 6 seasons and forced 5 fumbles and recovered 4 fumbles so far in his career.

Has 4 TDs from INT returns and 1 TD from a fumble recovery.

Pretty impressive start to his career. Combine that with a SB ring and a Pick 6 in the SB and you have the beginning of a possible HoF career. Let's hope he returns this season 100%.

beast (23h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
