Mark Prior, who we renamed the DL after, is a bitch who can’t stay healthy experiencing discomfort in his surgically repaired shoulder.

Kansas City Royals pitcher John Bale, who was supposed to come off the DL in a few days with a shoulder issue, broke his pitching hand punching a hotel door Friday night.

Mini camp is potential trouble for teams with malcontents

This weekend is a minefield for teams that have players they are looking to unload? Why? Well, what if Lito Sheppard pops a patellar tendon? What if Chad Johnson (in theory) showed up and ripped his Achilles? The team would be on the hook for their 2008 salary and you can […]

Tom Brady has High Ankle Sprain
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Relax, Pats fans. It’s considered mild. But it would appear that Tom Brady does have a high ankle sprain. High ankle sprains can be downright nasty, just ask Terrell Owens, who battled one at the end of the season. This shouldn’t affect Brady in the Super Bowl.
