    No, the Jokes on Uncle Bob. He buys a 50 million dollar sports car and let's Kubiak run it into the ground.

    I'm genuinely concerned about this. Back injections remind me of Tracy McGrady and Roy Oswalt.

    I've had a similar procedure done. It takes like a day to recover, but a couple of weeks to feel any benefits. Tracy's back problem was more muscular/nagging. Arian's seems like a disc/nerve issue. While more serious, the good thing is Arian's problem is fixable. Soft tissue problems, like McGrady's, are not, and usually just require a lot of maintenance and precaution. My guess is Arian will get some pain treatment, be just fine for the season, and then have surgery to alleviate the issue immediately after the year is over.

    Foster must be lying. Kubes knows his battlefight levels.

    Arian's 351 rushes marks another foolish decision by Kubes.

    So glad he's back....he looks a little more bulked up. I think if his health holds up...he'll absolutely have another close to MVP year.

    I hope so.

    IMO, Arian Foster didn't run as hard last year as the year before, even during the first few games where fatigue, wear and tear weren't an issue. I want to see a return to the Arian Foster of 2011 who made the impossible dodge of Troy Polumalu.

    He started eating meat again at some point during last season.

    Texans' Arian Foster on his heavy workload during recent seasons: 'I don’t really care, man. Whatever."

    “The thing about that is, when you’re a scat back, the knock on you is, oh, you can’t carry the load. When you’re a workhorse, it’s, oh, you’re getting too many carries. People just find things to talk about. I stopped listening. So, sure, the workload’s big. I don’t really care, man. Whatever.”

    Is there video of his press conference? Apparently Foster was a jerk to the reporters.

    I don't think there is video, just quotes.

    I saw a video on the news last night. Foster was saying something like "ya'll act like I died or something. I still have running water, I'm okay. Perspective, man. Perspective."

    I like Foster, but sometimes the 'resident philosopher' act gets a little old. You're a football player, not a college professor.

    I was so hoping that he would talk in pterodactyl at the presser.
