Colts GM Claim Luck Rib 'Injury Report Inaccurate' Per ESPN

Yes, Huddler's the saga of the Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck and Rib-Gate continues before tonight's game.

Colts GM, Grigson say it's untrue. According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert:

Quote

Ryan Grigson said Sunday that "our injury reports are accurate" a few hours after a media report that quarterback Andrew Luck fractured multiple ribs earlier this season.

"If people have any questions about player injuries," Grigson continued in a statement, "they should refer to our injury reports."

This is too funny when you think about it guys.

Quote

ESPN's Adam Schefter had previously reported the Rib Injury had largely healed.

Chuck Pagano, say's Luck's healthy.

And Luck himself says, he was advised not to talk to the media, but adds "I have no restrictions or limitations," he said.

Those three by notes by Schefter, Pagano and Luck are mentioned in the article, so I quoted/highlighted them here. Ironically, they all contradict the Glazer/Fox Report which has been bandied about so much.

Hmmmh. So it seems the Colts either said: "Oh shoot! If we say this, now the NFL can come after us for hiding injuries"!?

Or "Oh shoot. We lied. Knew Luck wasn't injured (or healed), and the NFL can still come after us for hiding injuries"!? "Oh No. We stupid"!

Lastly: Maybe it's truly old news as Schefter mentioned, and Ole Boy Glazer's  trying to be a Luck defender/opportunist!?? I dunno.

Wonder if the rest of the media will mention this before tonight's game???? Or only the "injured ribs" portion (no pun) is worthy of much media speculation and reporting? You know. Reinforcing the notion (by some) that Luck couldn't possibly play this bad if healthy??

You can't make this up. Panther fans be glad you got Gettleman for a GM. SMH

I mean, why lie? 

 

I guess maybe if you were playing a team like, say, New Orleans... you may not want them to know your QB has injured ribs lest they... you know... TARGET him or something...

 

Oh wait... you mean they played the Saints last week?  Hmmm... what a coincidence...

To keep other teams from targeting an injured area.

I understand the rationale, but it was still a dumb decision.  Given that I think Grigson is an idiot though, can't say I'm surprised.

You wanna protect your quarterback? How about getting him a competent offensive line instead of piling on more receivers?

I definitely don't think it was a dumb decision. The fine is basically meaningless and anything you can do to protect your QB from taking an extra shot in some broken ribs is worth it.

Luck has hot garbage for an offensive line

wasn't hot garbage when old man Hasselback was playing this year.  I mean insert a QB behind our OL that holds the ball as long as Cam has to......that isn't built like a DE w/ moves like Jagger?  QB gonna be abused.  Who and how you play QB has a lot to do w/ how a OL is perceived.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
