Thaddeus out 2-3 weeks

By Micah Warren | 41 Comments

Sixers small forward – who actually plays other positions because Andre Iguodala can’t hit a jump shot and just play the two – Thaddeus Young will be out 2-3 weeks with an injured ankle sustained in Tuesday night’s victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
The bone isn’t broken, but MRI results show a sprain and a bone [...]

Lackey has cortisone shot in elbow

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Los Angeles Angels ace John Lackey took a cortisone shot to his ailing elbow and looks certain to miss the opener. It’s uncertain when he will pitch again, but he will certainly start the season on the Mark Prior List. That much is certain.
Lackey first felt soreness in his right forearm near the [...]

Phillies screwed

By Micah Warren | 1 Comment

Cole Hamels has a sore elbow, which is awesome news for Phillies fans. They probably won’t need a staff ace anyway. I mean, this is a team game, right? So yeah…he has a sore elbow and it’s not on his right arm.
“We do not think it is serious, at least [...]

Pelfrey to return Saturday

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

With injuries to Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey, the Mets should be slightly worried about the early-season health of their rotation. Pelfrey strained his calf in a bullpen session on Friday, which is never good. But according to the NY Post, Pelfrey will make a start this Saturday against the Washington Nationals. [...]

Santana to miss opener?

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Mets ace Johan Santana is in danger of missing the start of the MLB season on April 6th due to an irritated triceps tendon.
“We have 162 games,” Santana said on Saturday. “What we have to accomplish takes 162 games. Everything starts April 6, if it’s going to be me or somebody else. It’s tough to [...]

Micah’s take on Brand

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Micah’s take on the Elton Brand situation:
It might be good news for the Sixers, if that makes any sense. The Sixers are a young, fast team that likes to play defense (except for Lou Williams) and run the floor. They run all day everyday, and twice on Sundays. Their game is fastbreak [...]

By Perry | Leave a Comment

In the third quarter of Milwaukee’s game against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, Michael Redd landed awkwardly on his teammate Luke Ridnour’s foot.  The MRI today revealed that Redd has MCL and ACL tears in his left knee.

Another Giants WR shot

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Taye Biddle, a reserve Giants WR, visited his family in Decatur, AL recently and got more than a big hug and a hot meal while he was there. He also got shot in the hand.
Police say that there is no evidence that he did anything to provoke the shooting, which occurred outside a residence. [...]

DiPietro done for the year

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

The New York Islander have decided to shut goalie Rick DiPietro down for the season.
Elliott Hershman, the Islanders team orthopedist (We know you know who he is, but we had to say it anyway), said the decision was based on continued swelling in his surgically repaired left knee.
When asked if the injury could be career [...]

Cromartie played with broken hip

By Micah Warren | 1 Comment

Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie revealed after Sunday’s loss that he played the entire season with a fractured hip.
“Hell yeah,” Cromartie said when asked if he was looking forward to the offseason. “It came (too) soon, but I’m definitely looking forward to it – mostly to get my body back in shape, get back healthy and [...]

Big Ben suffered more than a concussion

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Ben Roethlisberger actually sustained a spinal cord concussion in Week 17 against the Browns, which is much more serious than a concussion.
So yeah, that would explain the removal of his facemask and having to put him on a spinal board.

Boldin is out

Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin has been deactivated for Saturday night’s game with a bum hamstring. Steve Breaston will get the start.

Bush has microfracture surgery

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Saints RB Reggie Bush had microfracture surgery on his left knee after he was placed on injured reserve in December. That’s a pretty big deal, especially considering what we were led to believe initially. That’s now three surgeries on his left knee in two years. For a guy that relies on speed [...]

L.T. out for playoffs?

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

It doesn’t look like Ladainian Tomlinson will be able to play against Pittsburgh this weekend and he may be out for the entire playoffs with a bad groin injury.
“He might be able to play in another week if we were able to go on,” coach Norv Turner said. “Or maybe he could play in another [...]

Barber still struggling

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

According to the Dallas Morning news, Cowboy RB Marion Barber still has a sore toe and isn’t a sure bet to play against the Eagles on Sunday.

Look for Tashard [...]

R.I.P. OTR

Sources close to OTR have told OTR that OTR will be no more. It’s just not the same anymore and it wouldn’t fair to our loyal readers to continue to just go through the motions. We did have a great run though. We broke the Asante Samuel signing. We were the [...]

Haynesworth out until playoffs

By Micah Warren | 1 Comment

Eh oh. If the goal of an NFL team is to be playing well at the end of the season then I’m not sure the Titans got that memo. Not only did they lose to the Houston Texans on Sunday, they have now found out that they will be without Albert Haynesworth and [...]

Haynesworth has bad MCL sprain

A source tells PFT that Albert Haynesworth has a bad sprain of the MCL. We won’t know more until an MRI tomorrow.

Derek Anderson paralyzed for life

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

We’re just now getting late-breaking word that our headline is off a bit. It seems that an injured knee will sideline him for the rest of the season. The Browns lost Brady Quinn a week or so ago and now they have lost Anderson. Have fun with Ken Dorsey!
That loud thump is [...]

Kyle Kosier dead

By Micah Warren | 1 Comment

Dammit! We just made this mistake with Brady Quinn and then we did it again. Cowboys G Kyle Kosier (pronounced like Bernie Kosar) has been placed on injured reserve. Being placed on injured reserve ends your season. Therefore, Kosier is done for the season.
But thankfully, he’s not dead. We tend [...]

Dr. James Andrews to look at Quinn’s finger

Brady Quinn was lifted from the Browns loss Sunday against the Texans, partially because of a banged up index finger. At the time, he didn’t think it was affecting him too much, but apparently it was.
Brady Quinn will be heading to Alabama shortly to see Dr. James “you are screwed if you have to [...]

Harrison’s career could be over

According to Adam Schefter of NFLN, Rodney Harrison’s injury last night was a season-ending torn quad muscle.
Harrison will be 36 this year and his contract is up at the end of the season. Even for the last few years he’s hardly been the player he used to be. Is it tough [...]

Bengals can’t catch a break

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Unless that break is to the bone of an important player. Rookie LB Keith Rivers was one of the lone bright spots on a dreadful team. He was one of the few people in Cincinnati that’s part of the solution, not the problem.
Well, he has a broken jaw and could miss the rest [...]

More problems for Dallas

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

Who could have seen this coming? The Dallas Cowboys were widely considered to be the most talented team in football at the start of the season (certainly after Brady went down). Not only did they get shellacked 34-14 in St. Louis Sunday, they lost yet another player.
SS Roy Williams broke his forearm again [...]
