I don't get all the hysteria. Were talking Drew here. I'm expecting him to play Sunday tossing the ball around with his left hand!

There is really no downside in seeking a second opinion since Brees has front of the line privileges, but be careful what you wish for with conservative treatment. It’s more important that this thing heals up well. I’ve been under the impression that this was a complete tear this entire time...especially looking at the degree of laxity on the video. But prehaps it’s a grade 2 and you can give splinting/regen medicine a shot.

Okay... what you got for tennis and golf elbow. I evidently have both. doctor put me on oral steroids for 6 days and miloxicam for 3 months. supposed to do a second 6 day steroid pack starting next week. If that doesn't do it... looking at blood platelet therapy or dry needling. Any other suggestions?

Now that actually made me laugh. I needed
a good laugh today. Drew is actually a switch passer too.?

Yeah, that's been my plan so far... then during the middle of the night I use my left hand to adjust a pillow or move the blankets and I come up screaming. (then night before last, wife elbows me in the nose... so now I've got other problems. lol)

God, I hope so.

Okay, I'll pull the pistol out of my mouth and wait for word.

Best line of the the day!!

What kind of surgery can be done on the refs? This is a two-pronged problem we're dealing with.

Quite a few of them need cephalanalectomy's done. I wonder if the NFL's insurance covers that.

 

[Consigliere]

Didn't Ronnie Lott amputate a finger and keep playing? If Drew was really dedicated to the team, why doesn't he do that with his thumb?

 

[Saint Greg]

I don't buy it. I don't think anyone expects him to play.

Yeah. This non surgery healing is going to take more than a week. Maybe you could say that for Dallas or Tampa. But nobody thinks he’s playing against Seattle.

We may stand a better chance that way.
