Harrell thinks he tore his ACL, as per Demovski

Dammit...on a field goal.

Okay, why for ANY reason is your most fragile fucking player on the field for a field goal?

Good thing nobody claimed Jarius Wynn. If it's an ACL, this is probably the end of the line for Justin. Too bad, seemed like an affable enough guy... just had shit luck.

Crazy bad luck. Who'd he kill in a past life?

Harrell played ok, too...

New Sports Talk radio station station started up in the Twin Cities, they were hiring away all sorts of talent from everybody in the Midwestern Sports media who weren't considered key assets by their former employers.

But, really, it's not as though "reporting on a team" makes you a fan of that team. I doubt Bedard is a fan of the Packers. Probably most sports reporters aren't fans of any particular team.

Pelissero actually started out here in the Twin Cities for KFAN. He moved to the GBPG and has now moved back to the Twin cities.

What is the new station up here?

[RashanGary]

Punting - CHECK
Kickoffs - CHECK
Field goal unit - CHECK
Kick Return unit - Check
Punt return - Not much opportunity but Williams is solid so CHECK

Penalties - CHECK


At least last years issues appear to be cleared up.

1500 AM in the Twin Cities switched formats from Conservative Talk to Sports Talk, they've had the Twins games for the past couple years and they just partnered with ESPN a few months ago.

Other teams make fun of you if you don't trot out 11 guys on field goal attempts.

Harrel is the only other player we could have used on the field goal team?

Who'd we use after he got hurt? No one?

Well, generally field goal attempts are staffed with pretty much all the big men who aren't starters. Since Harrell was a backup, he qualified. If one of the backup big guys goes out, you need to put one of the non-backup big guys in. It would have been a hell of a lot worse if the Packers had lost Ryan Pickett on a FG than if they lost Justin Harrell.

Just saw the Calvin Johnson play.

Two feet down and both hands on the ball...is the play not over at that point???

Apparently not!

It would be called a fumble in the field of play. So he had to have possesion to make it a fumble which would end the play in the end zone and should be a TD.

Damn is this confusing!

um, but the ground can't cause a fumble. The ball popped out when he brought it down to the ground.

NOW IF THE SKINS CAN KILL THE BOYS ALL WILL BE RIGHT FOR A WEEK!!

Think of how the mood will be in Philly on Monday if McNabb lights up the Dallas secondary.

Any news from GB on Grant. M3 mentioned Harrell has a 'serious injury' - i.e., ACL.

Jenkins did break his hand - so he'll play w/ a cast/club the whole year.
