Justin "Graham Cracker Back" Harrell

[Patler]

Now Harrell will be out til Thursday because of heat exhaustion, according to the JSO.

Sounds like a cover up. I'm betting it's his back. And nobody wants to say that - yet.

Didn't the bike ride with a kid on his back come after the episode that took him out of practice? I can't see him doing that if his back is the real issue.

Besides, all that means is he didn't practice Tuesday night. They are off today, aren't they? He's missing nothing more than we already knew about.

Man I was about to die on my 3 mile run yesterday so I can imagine how these guys are feeling. Can't push too hard after the Stringer thing.

Yup, no practice on Wednesday. JSO dragging up more shit that ain't there.

[RashanGary]

Out until Thursday with heat exhaustion, hahahahaha. . . .

Did I miss the memo in our society that stated it's alright to manipulate people? Bert, JS, that creepy congressman who through a fit on the floor, but could have passed the bill anyway. . . .

When did this shit become alright? When did people get so stupid that we let this happen under our noses?

Come on. These are professional athletes who get paid to do nothing other than stay in top physical shape. I run 6 miles every day in the summer heat and humidity in southern Indiana and I'm over 40. Hard to sympathize with a guy who's been injured for the last three years and still can't come to camp in shape. As long as they stay hydrated, well conditioned athletes should not fall to pieces in 95 degree weather.

I saw a bunch of 7 and 8 year old kids go through a 2.5 hour practice in 92 degree heat yesterday.

For what that's worth. . . .

[Tony Oday]

Do the little kids or you hoosier weigh 320lbs? STRINGER DIED it is humid as H out there.

What kind of practice were seven year olds spending 2.5 hours going through in any weather?

The vast majority of oversized NFL players can make it through a summer camp practice in one piece, even the 320 pound ones. The fact that Harrell couldn't suggests that he was out of shape, as Stringer likely was. I don't know about you, but if I were a 1st round draft pick in my mid-20s who had spent the last three years on IR, I would be so eager to stay on the field that I would never let myself get out of shape, offseason or not.

Or he is pushing himself to the max trying to earn a spot on the roster.

Is someone more susceptible to heat stroke because they are in poor physical condition? I honestly don't know the answer, but the few people I've seen suffer from heat stroke were in excellent shape.

Anything to backup your claim?

Just that being in good condition means that your heart and circulatory system works more efficiently, which usually includes less overheating. I am sure it is possible for a well-conditioned athlete to do too much and suffer from dangerously elevated core body temp, but someone whose heart isn't able to pump blood effectively (either because of poor conditioning or being very overweight) is much more likely to be a victim.

Football has a big problem with heat stroke because the helmets and pads disrupt natural cooling so much. No comparison between the risk a football player faces and someone else in just shorts and a t-shirt.

All I can say is that I hope it's about conditioning and not his back. I would like Harrell to be healthy.
