Tom Brady goes down.  Peyton Manning comes back slow from injury.  LT gets hurt early on and says it isn’t bad but he isn’t practicing this week.  BoB Sanders is out now for 4-6 weeks with an ankle sprain.  Shawne Merriman is done for the year and I could keep on going.  I decided to keep going…Devin Hester got hurt dodging someone.  Darren McFadden, who looks really good by the way, is questionable this week and his running mate for the Raiders is out also.  Football is prone to injuries but when the league loses it’s mvp for the season and defensive player of the year for 4-6 weeks that is a bad start.

I have to admit that I am a little suspicious of how they listed BOB Sanders.  4-6 Weeks for a high ankle sprain?  I’ve sprained my ankles numerous times horribly and I never missed 4 weeks as a result.  This is either the Colts spinning it or he is hurt worse than we really know.  I’m guessing the latter.  Sanders plays ferocious defense and is a big hitter.  Forte, for the Bears, got drilled by Sanders opening week and I think he’ll never forget that hit.  Sanders is needed by the league and by the Colts especially.

I’m just glad that football is back even though my fantasy team is horrible right now.  I actually drafted Vernon Davis.  Sorry to get sidetracked but I drafted Vernon Davis and I expect to win.  Kind of like the Bears thinking they can go far with Kyle Orton or Super Rex Grossman.

Here’s to hoping nobody gets hurt this week…
