Never understood why they don't take those things out after healing. Also don't understand staples for closing wounds.

Getting older and grumpier by the day.

I get most of my wounds closed at Staples!



Where the staples are "Almost Sterile™"

Had a relative tell me they used them because the staple could reach deeper to secure tissue. But the staples looked like standard 3/8" staples for my staple gun I get at ACE from John Madden. Those things pop out all the time and they are just holding up insulation on a wood beam.

CWood tied a pretty significant record last night, most defensive TDs. Congrats!

He shares the record with Rod Woodson and Sharper. I had no idea Sharper had gotten a share of that.

I was hoping he would get that. He deserves that pelt on his wall and a HOF berth.

i had one of my staples get loose under the cast and ripped my leg to shit, but other then that they worked pretty damn good

they're quicker to put in and they are suppose to help the wound heal much faster

Yes, that is what I have been told as well. They just look terrible and give off a MacGuyver vibe, like the hospital had run out of surgical thread and used the only thing the surgeon could reach on his desk.

My multiple experiences with sutures have all been the threaded kind. As a kid I LOVED getting them taken out because it was fascinating to watch and it also meant you could finally scratch the itch after four weeks.

if you thought getting the stiches removed was cool then you really need to get some staples put in. they use this fancy ass tool that just pops them right out.

it helps that the nurse that popped mine out was not too bad to look at either

I agree. I was ready to have him leave 'cause he didn't have a place in our system, but I knew he could be an upgrade to other teams, other schemes. And he does deserve that honor. Good for Charles.

If only there was a way to take some away from Sharper. :angry:

Take away one pick six from Sharper for every ten times he was burned for six by making a bad decision. See if he has any left.
