As for the injury, take a look a the replay. The Giants linebacker rolled himself across Demps’ entire leg on the tackle. Wouldn’t be surprised if he has some damage in both his knee and ankle. Not good for a speedster. The only thing fishy here is some questionable hatred towards the Pats organization, Mr Gantt.

technically, I bet it happened in just a matter of seconds as he was “fine” until a few seconds later when the sentence that said he was now on IR was completed by whoever said it….lol…nothing against the story/writer…

Get over it. The cba lets it happen.

I did not see a story on the Ravens “storing” Streeter on IR, but they are. And I love my ratbirds, but that’s just the way the rules are set up.

For less than 2 weeks work as he had just joined the team…I’m sure he is not complaining. The Patriots only became interested in Demps when they heard the NY Jets wanted him, they stash him to keep him away from their rivals. Isn’t that smart ? There is an old saying, “if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying…” signed NFL team management / Major League Players in the modern era and long distance bike racers… Anything to get ahead man …anything to get ahead… Also, from what I hear Jeff Demps can now travel the country getting paid for appearances as a Silver medalist …smart, fast man…

That means they think Brian Waters is playing this year.

He has 8 days to get into football shape if he comes tomorrow.

So they aren’t doing it to bring him back this year, but it’s doubtful that if a player that could contribute this year had the exact same injury he would be put on IR. As much as I hate the Patriots, I would bet this happens with most teams quite often, so can’t really beat Bill up too bad.

Something has gone bad in Gotham City.

Way to put a spin on it Darin.

Nobody on the Pats will ever discuss injuries with the media; they never have and they never will. But you really did know that, right?

WAAAAAAH…Mr. Commissioner, They’re doing it again. You need to doooooo something about it.
Well, if you won’t do anything about it than I will declare anything they win this year to be tainted, tainted, tainted, just like everything else they ever won. Oh, and by the way, I happen to know for a fact that Tom Brady is a hairoid user.
