Nick Collins preparing for comeback

[KYPack]

Collins' agent said there's been no change in his status from his doctors. Me thinks that Nick, Tramon, and JJ had a few too many rum punches and a few tweets got sent out.

Boss has broke the code. I've been around when there are current players and a retired player drinkin'. At some point, the conversation turns to their old buddy still playing with 'em and guess what, the old boy agrees.

Go ahead, Nick. You've earned a few fantasies. But I really doubt anything is gonna happen.

Nick says he's serious - just posted on ESPN site:

well, like i said earlier, leroy mentioned about a month ago that nick was working on a comeback, so i doubt its just a random drunken rant

and if nicks DR didn't clear im, then he needs to go get another opinior, because finley's doc says he can absolutely play again, and they both had the exact same operation

'ole st. Nicky may have had stenosis; they also put some metal and a graft in there to shore up the damage. Finley seemed to have a much less extensive repair, but I wasn't in the OR, so I guess we wait and see what the various teams' docs have to say.

I tend to remember that I have 2 years of college eligibility left every time I get drunk.

It seems the buzz hasn't worn off yet.

The more I hear or read about Nick Collins wanting to come back, the more irritated I get, cause I know it's not going to happen. Damn, losing him really, really sucked.

Probably the biggest issue in the defense's fall these past few years.

That and all the other injuries, plus TT using a draft-and-develop system that allows absolutely no room for either the injuries OR for drafting guys for key positions that don't pan out...

yeah but Fritz, you pay a FA to come in and he fails, it's a double the killer of a failed (non-first round) draft pick, because you're out the money too.

That's true. It's mostly due the the structure of the game today and the flat sal cap, but for those reasons, GM's have little room to fail - unless you're the Lions' GM.
