    Yahoo has Bentley listed to start. Such a shame about Diles though, it was such a nice surprise hearing his name mentioned so much in commentary.
    Side note- we released Kalu today as well.

    He kicked himself and broke his leg? Did I read that right? How does that happen? :confused:

    DeMeco was pissed about not leading the team in tackles, he probably ordered the hit.

    Damn...apparently our football team needs to be in Tae Kwon Do competitions rather than play football. Two years ago Charles Spencer's career is ruined when a RB kicks his leg. This year our linebacker ruins his season when he kicks his OWN leg.

    I saw it happen a LONG time ago to a Dallas Cowboys receiver (Mike Sherrard?). It was disgusting. The guy kicked himself, fell to the ground and rolled over, clutching his shin. Except his shin was in two pieces and his leg was flopping around. I remember the coach (Tom Landry?) talking about it, and almost laughing because it was so absurd to injure yourself in that manner.

    That's odd. I've worked on many surgery cases involving the tibia(not as a doctor), and I've never heard of them putting a rod into a tibia. Only for a femur and humerus.

    Must just be the way the doctor does things, or added strength, considering he plays a contact sport for a living.

    Much props to Dunta. Because of the curse, I was expecting him to never see the field again. I hope diles can fully recover.
