    On Mike and Mike this morning they were talking about it. It went from 5.5 to 5. I'm guessing it will move more.

    See this is why steroids should be legal. They could shoot this dude up with some roids and pain killers and benzocaine or novacaine, and might be able to play in 1 game, or get some reps.

    ......I guess it would be so effective that he won't feel it when the foot is about to fall of:eek:

    no but it's worth a shot right? he was saying in an interview today, that he was trying everything, some asian steven segal remedies, and everything he could. So if anything could get this guy's ankle to feel good enough for him to get 10 snaps in that game, shouldn't it be legal?

    Not that i care about Freeney, i hope he doesn't play.

    I agree. It is like when the axle in a 4x4 has a hairline crack, why grease it up and insist on putting it through a cross country race? Feeling good doesn't help fix the structural deficiency existing in the weight bearing ankle joint. Makes no sense. That's why I am somewhat against athletes playing in pain as pain is usually a warning sign.

    I suspect it will go down to about 3 for the Colts.

    im pretty sure corticosteroids (antiinflammatory, like cortisone) are legal.

    they are but those are anti inflammatory, steroids can speed up recovery from injury, now i don't know if they can help in 2 weeks, i'm not a doctor but i am pretty sure i stayed at a holiday inn once or twice in my life.

    He says today he can put more weight on it. I hope he plays and is 100%. I don't want the talking heads to have any excuses for why the Colts lost.
