High ankle sprain

It can't be a serious one if he is walking around

collinworth said earlier that Glenn's Knee

is swelling up after he practices, it doesn't sound good for glenn if thats the case.

Drew Rosenhaus

says that T.O. is fine. Cowboys say X-rays negative. could be a high sprain. Maybe MRI tomorrow.

If you don't make it, Carolina gets field position and momentum.

Just...punt it.

That I am SO glad I found this site, and it is fun talking to you guys during the game, and I am so glad this site is not like a lot of others I've seen. I think you guys know what I mean by that.

Grizz-- have you thought of setting up a chat room?

by MrMojok on Dec 22, 2007 9:13 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Punt Didn't Work Out Quite Like We Planned

But it's better than winging at at midfield.

Now Carolina has to drive the length of the field.

we need to stop moore now

and put some pressure on them and maybe have someone cover S Smith

I don't know,

It looked like he was making a play at the ball, had his head turned back. The cornerback has got to be given a chance. It's difficult enough to play that position with the current rules.

We've Now Won

Ten straight road games, dating back to November of last year.  I don't know if that's a franchise record, but it's impressive nonetheless.

by kindablue on Dec 22, 2007 10:31 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

It Ties the Franchise Record

Record is ten consecutive wins, first set in 1968-69.

Next longest stretch is seven wins, 1993-94.

I know we've got angst about Owen's injury and the fact  we didn't blow out the Panthers, but this late in the season, a win is win.  I'll take it.

Everyone Email the NFL

And tell them  Bryant Gumbel is the worst commentator in history.

by jmangell0830 on Dec 22, 2007 10:42 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

And what about his constant subjectivity...

... on the bad penalty calls.

Although I felt that there were some bad calls that went our way and against Carolina, I think the Color Commentator/Game Analyst (in this case, Cris Collinsworth) should be making those comments -- not the play-by-play guy.

That's the one thing that bothers me about today's TV coverage.  You're seeing more TV play-by-play guys provide unsolicited subjectivity on things... guys like Joe Buck, Bryant Gumbel, and now even Al Michaels.

I loved the days of Curt Gowdy, Dick Enberg, Lindsey Nelson, and Don Criqui who would just describe the play-by-play with varying voice inflection... then get out of the way and leave the subjectivity and analysis to the ex-player/ex-coach in the booth with them.

Really don't understand why NFL Network doesn't pull the plug on Bryant Gumbel.  He flat-out sucks.

Don't Forget

The two greatest play-by-play announcers in league history, Pat Summerall and Ray Scott.  Both very understated in their announcing style, which raised the game to the level of nobility.

Sadly, everyone wants to editorialize now, at the top of their lungs.

by kindablue on Dec 23, 2007 6:26 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I hate the fact that he can't tell how many yards

are gained on a play.  The player will clearly gain a 1st down, but it seems like Gumbel doesn't want to commit by saying that it's a first.
