    I remember seeing a video from a player who was talking about how hard it is to get on a team as just a PS player. Once your cut from the team you lose access to all the weights and training staff. You are then on your own to get yourself into NFL shape and you can't just go to your local Anytime Fitness and expect to compete at that high level. If those guys want to continue their NFL careers they're spending a lot of money out of pocket for personal trainers and access to equipment. And then you're hoping that you get onto a team. But if you end up spending a significant portion of that money that you do get paid on trying to make teams and you get stuck on practice squads that's a rough life regardless. Because then those guys have to make themselves available during the NFL season, so it's hard for them to pursue a career outside of football until they decide to give up on it.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    News on the NFL Network:

    Still this AM (Sat. Dec. 12, 2017)...Good News as there isn't any official Team Update after the surgery.

    It's still No News is Good News.

    Schefter reports that Shazier still has movement but it being limited as long as he has swelling from the injury.

    He writes like the only open question is his playing career.

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2...nt-back-injury

    While he remains hospitalized in Pittsburgh, Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier continues to show gradual improvement from his back injury, people familiar with his condition told ESPN.

    Doctors are controlling and limiting his movement as they wait for the swelling and bruising in his back to subside, sources said.

    It is premature to say whether Shazier will play football again, but the focus right now is not on his playing career but on trying to facilitate his recovery.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    thats good news for him

    the weird thing to me about the injury, was that it was the side of the neck that took the blow, but it was the middle of his back that was injured

    kinda reminded me of this

    Excellent points.

    Don't forget that the best PEDs aren't cheap either.

    Not meaning any disrespect:

    I don't mix up Gambling Vs Pro Pickem Analysis.

    I study the NFL and use competent analysis to make concrete predictions. I use everything to my advantage to do that.

    That doesn't usually have any huge bearing on a Vegas Line and any Pro Sports Matchup.
