Reality of Injuries

I was rather surprised to see WR Torrey Holt placed on Injured Reserve with a season ending knee injury. At least he gets paid in full for the season. The 11 year veteran may have reached the end of the line, but you never know. He could be back next year for another round. It provides an opportunity for WR Buddy Farnham to be added to the roster.

The loss of Ty Warren is tough, but he has not been the same player the last few years because of a torn labrium in his hip. Nobody knows if he will ever be the same player. That's how it is in the NFL. Carers end way too soon.

It makes me laugh to think about people who talk about Tom Brady five years down the line. Do they know he will be playing?

The devestating implications of football injuries bothers me as a fan. It's a very violent game that produces a lot of human train wrecks. People suffer life long effects from the game. The NFL needs to do a better job in helping its former players.
