    I just read on the Sporting News Rockets Team Report, that Maurice Taylor could be out six weeks. Is this true??

    End of 1st quarter: "They're playing so well!"
    2nd: "What a great game!"
    3rd: "Theres no way they can lose now!"
    4th: "What the ******* **** happened?!!"

    Seriously, I am not sure what to make of Micheal Murphy's report that he did for the Sporting news. I thought he is a reliable, and legitimate rocket reporter, but there is some inconsistencys in the article he wrote. For example, "Point guard is still the strongest position" -- while I don't disagree, this wording sounds as if we had Francis for the last five or six year! It may be true of MO being out up to six weeks but Mr. Murphy is not a doctor and is probably pulling this number out of the air.

    Man I sure as hell hope he isnt out 6 weeks. It seems unlikely though. Unless Taylor did something ELSE to his finger, then I dont(and HOPE) that he won't be out for 6 weeks.

    They couldn't have mis-diagnosed his injury that bad. I mean, there's a big difference between 10 days and 6 weeks.

    I hope that bum dint do somethin else to his finger.

    Mo Taylor said he would be back by the first regular season game.

    I heard last night that he will go to Detroit but will not play, but I may be wrong.

    I spoke to Rudy T. on Saturday and he told me Mo is doing "just fine" and should be ready to go at the beginning of the season.

    I don't know if Murphy knows something he doesn't, but Rudy didn't sound worried.

    Tim Couch broke the base of his thumb and had to have surgery on it. Plus, he is a QB so the thumb is the most important digit. But I did hear Mo say that although he wanted to play in Detroit, he will wait till the season opener just to be safe.
