I'm just deeply irritated, for reasons I don't really understand, that there is the prevailing notion that Andrews is just a fat dude faking an injury. But you're right. The temperature has gotten entirely too high over what is supposed to be an entertainment. I’m not saying he can’t be questioned.

Relax. Take a deep breath. None of us, including me, knows a damn thing about Shawn Andrews condition. My "diagnosis" is based on the fact that giant football players with back injuries are sometimes forced into early retirement. It happens. At the same time, putting Andrews on some sort of pedestal seems unrealistic. What, we are not allowed to question whether his career could be in jeopardy? We are not allowed to doubt his dedication when he himself has doubted it? Don't you think Reid and Banner and Lurie are wondering how much future return they are going to get on their investment? For the record, I never said Runyan was an adequate replacement. I've been writing for months that microfracture surgery for a 35-year-old is not easy to come back from. However, IF the guy passes a physical, it can't hurt to bring him in, especially if Andrews is sidelined for a prolonged period of time. Whew! I said I was done with Andrews. Now I am. We obviously all have our opinions, but let's keep this place classy. No need to resort to juvenile name calling. We are all better than that, myself included ;) We all need to settle ourselves down a bit. Relax. Take a deep breath. None of us, including me, knows a damn thing about Shawn Andrews condition.

Oh, you're pulling it out of your ass? Ah. Well, I'm going to assume the guys paying Andrews' salary and, you know, have actually met the dude might, maybe, possibly know something more about this than you As far as Runyan, yes. A 35-year-old a few months removed from major knee surgery who's been running for about three weeks is the <i>perfect</i> replacement. Good call.
