Greetings from the sports desk located somewhere below decks of the Good Pirate Ship RedState. Sammy the Shark and Karl the Kraken are doing what they do best around here …
I swear I’d get more productivity from a house cat.
Anyway, apologies for taking so long to get a summary assembled of week four, NFL style. I made the mistake of starting to read the injury report for all teams, and I have just now had an opportunity to come up for air. When the list is this long, speed reading is not an option. Nearly 300 NFL players are currently on injured reserve. That’s a lot. Coming up with comparative stats has proved surprisingly challenging — I’m still looking — but at the least, it strongly feels like the injuries are greater in number than last year.
I know football is a rugged, physical game; injuries have always been part of the equation. That said, one has to wonder…
