    That looks good for Tebow now, he could end up being kept on the 53 man roster in Philly.  The Niners have cut former Colt, Phillip Wheeler.

  2. Which is why I said 18, since 2008, and could careless about deaths in the 1900s....

    Whos ages were 22,27,24,34,26,28,26,25,25,19,32,24,30,34,30,27,25 18 people dead in 4 years as a direct result of playing a sport, minus the guy killed by hooligans....

    Sure soccer is played more worldwide, but these were PRO matches, not run of the mill indoor soccer leagues....They were pros....48 people dying ON the field, or in practice, since Peyton Manning started an NFL Game...

    Comparing the NFL to soccer is still ridiculous. There's far more pro leagues and players in soccer than there ever will be in American football.

    Almost all of them a type of heart failure in the last 10 years. PEDs or are they just running themselves to death?

    PED's are possible alright. I wonder how many of them would have had pre-existing health issues as well which were missed in a medical for example. The heavy exercise in a pro sport such as soccer could have easily made their conditions much worse.

    Also, I think the prevalence of soccer in developing nations with substandard medical practices and facilities plays a role.

    This as well. There was a player in England recently who had a lucky escape in the middle of march, Fabrice Muamba. He collapsed playing in the FA cup and his heart stopped for 78 minutes. Lucky for him a fan attending the game was a cardiologist. I doubt he'd be alive today if the necessary medical help wasn't there for him.

  3. I'd much rather keep Pat than Gary. Pat has been fantastic this year at MLB and has earned his spot as a starter next season. I'd like to see the Colts try and trade Gary in the off season and see what we can get for him. A couple of draft picks would go nicely towards rebuilding the team for the future.
