PFT: Terrell Suggs tears Achilles tendon

[Destino]

Playing basketball?!? Get an X-Box T-Sizzle.

Freak injury. Basketball is a great workout and I doubt most NFL players avoid sports entirely in the off season.

Seriously, if I was getting paid millions to be an athlete, I would live in one of those suspended-animation water tanks like you see in sci fi movies/games during the whole offseason.

You'd think they'd have insurance for instances like this.

I wonder if he was wearing Adidas shoes?

...Too soon?

[Boss_Hogg]

Live in work in Ravens land...

Panic has ensued.

...Too soon?

Never too soon, gotta take your shots where you can, these things have a very short halflife

I bet this is good news to their draft pick.

Something tells me their D won't miss much of a beat.

[jflow78]

Yeah, I feel the same as everyone else. I feel really bad for Suggs, but I'm glad he won't be there when Griffin is playing them. However, I wish it had been a sprained ankle or stomach flu or something that kept him out, not something serious like this.

Too bad for the guy, it's got to hurt knowing you might not get paid either.

I bet you it will. Suggs and Upshaw would have been like Orakpo and Kerrigan. Without Orakpo, Kerrigan wouldn't have been nearly as dangerous. Upshaw will have a good season, but not nearly as good as it would have been with Suggs.

All my friends who are Ravens fans, since I'm from B-more, are so pissed!

they still have the best qb in the league....

....and the orioles are doing well....

Who was the other player who got injured playing basketball? Might even have been a baseball player. My brother thought it was Suggs a few years ago but it's not. I vaguely remember something

[Boss_Hogg]

Courtney Upshaw will have some big shoes to fill. It's not like he can just step in and regenerate the excitement and energy from #55.

This could be the beginning of the Ravens decline in the AFC North. Ray Rice is involved in a bitter contract dispute, Ray Lewis turns 37, 33-year old Ed Reed is oft injured, and Flaaco is horrible.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

They keep talking about how they're going to transition from it being Lewis' team to it being Flacco's team. I don't see how in the world that's a positive.

I know Suggs is irreplaceable but that D has been good for so long, I just figure they'll find a way.

I think ours will be better though.

I don't see why it wouldn't be a positive having the best QB in the league as your team leader...

Yup, I work in Raven land too, and they are jumping out window now.

LOL. I see what you did there.
