7th rounder for Ike

[Deputy Nutz]

If he doesn't have medical insurance, I bet Alvarez will find a way to help him out. I hope so, anyway.

BTW, in preseason Alvarez was touting I. as the best cornerback in the country. Now, I know that's what athletic directors do, but Alvarez wouldn't say that if I. wasn't really talented.

I think if Alvarez helped him out there would probably be some problems with the NCAAs.

I will state this again, if he had an agent which he does, and very good one at that, I am sure he has protection for this situation.

you might be right about I. having insurance.

the NCAA is not a Satanic organization, I bet they would allow a team to provide medical care for a transition student on appeal, they make exceptions to their rules.

I was doing the math in a perfect world, and with a estimation that Rosenhaus took steps in his clients case to protect him if something like this happened. If he has the medical insurance now, and he goes in to the draft and gets signed in the 7th round for a 4 year 1.5 million dollar deal. He is on a team great medical staff, but if he came back in the draft the next year with a healthy knee and moved himself into the fourth round he is now looking at a significantly better deal, one that would pay him more than the 100,000 dollars the injury cost. Anyway, he is still going to have to pay medical expense prior to the draft.

I'm sure the math is correct.

However, most people don't have $100k in their pocket just burning a hole to be spent on knee rehab.

That's a lot of coin to plunk down with no guarantee an NFL team will ever pay you income to recoup it. Of course, if he had insurance on himself, that could cover the cost of rehab.

Ok who is going to pay for the knee surgery next week? Who is going to pay for the rehab up until the draft or when he signs his contract? Those are medical expenses he probably can't recoup anyways from the NFL franchise. At best his signing bonus could cover medical expenses.

Anyways, I am sure he has medical insurance and personal care insurance. If he doesn't he should fire Rosenhaus, and then kill himself.

The bottom line, does this kid have the head on his shoulders to come back from this? I say no, if he did he wouldn't have left college in the first place after the season he had. The Badgers made adjustments to their coaching staff this off season and hopefully it would have benefited a player like Ike, but he didn't wait to find out. Ike has first round ability, and he should have come back to make it in the first round, because regardless that is money he will never see again.

Bummer. My heart goes out to the kid for blowing out his knee.

Is it just the ACL? I'd burn a R7 for him. If it's a Culpepper special, I'd stay away.

[Guiness]

Yes because I am sure that has NEVER EVER happened before!!!!!!!

I honestly can't name too many players who have sustained injury from when they declared up to before the draft. The most recent one sticking out in my mind is Lendale White. He is doing just fine down in Tenn. though.

And if you knew anything about your team you'd know I was referencing defensive player of the year candidate Charles Woodson. He has been injury prone throughout his career including knee problems and broken legs.

That was a Merlin-esque statement to make.

Fight crazy with crazy I say. Of course he kept replying to my crazy like it wasn't crazy, which leads me to believe he actually is crazy. That and he thinks he's 5'11".

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably

Wow - I just can't see sending the Creepy Rat a photo of myself ending well. I mean, look at his avatar...he's obviously very talented with Microsoft Paint!

You gotta be fucking shitting me. I guess I am 6-3"

Someone repost the picture at the rat game that was up for the banner. That would demonstrate truth.

5-11" Thanks for the laugh

You guys are crazy. 5'11" is pretty much the standard male height.

Skin was short at maybe 5'8". Mad had about 2 inches on me at 6'1". Tarlam was about 6'5" if I remember correctly.

Christ, you guys are off your rockers about the weirdest stuff. You guys need to get some hobbies or something. I love how you two, who have interacted with me for about 3 hours total, (even less with skin) while you were both intoxicated to the point where you both puked no less, are suddenly experts on my height.

God Partial how do you not get this stuff? They're only still on it because it bothers you.
