I have loved watching about every game with you all this year, and I have loved the silly superstitions, dogs, frogs, turtles, cars- whatever.

BUT- On a serious note- A poster referring to the idea that they are happy a player is hurt and it's an 'upside' is absolutely sickening to me.

Our guys know and accept that they are going to get slaughtered when they screw up- they deal with the fans being angry- they deal with the fans wanting them traded- it's part of the position of being a famous athlete. However- NONE OF THEM should have to deal with fans being happy if they are hurt. That's classless, trashy, uncalled for and absolutely abhorrent. Think if it were your own child other people were speaking about, and how much that would hurt.

I am not a mod and I don't have any say here, but personally, I don't ever want to see that Sh*t again. I won't call you out, but you should be ashamed of yourself.

We are not savages. We don't wish others hurt, injured, or worse in any situation- especially members of our OWN team.

Rant over.
