Back to the subject at hand, it's probably something like the shingles.

Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.

I would also go with mono. It's not contagious in a football setting and probably why Fox said "they're not worried about that part right now". Fox also used the phrase "he's tired", mono causes extreme fatigue and can last a month. I feel this may be a blessing in disguise, it gets Shaheen on the field more. He sure looked good with the ball in his hands.

If he's ordering Papa John's, that usually means he's sustained some type of head trauma.

Hopefully not MRSA is a son of a bitch and cam be spread easily (depending on site). It's almost impossible to kill medically and in clothing.

MRSA sucks. I had it four years ago as a result of an infection I got when a tumor on a disc in my back burst. It fucking sucks.

This is true.
There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

Yes and no. He's on the injury report, he hasn't practice for weeks, that's public info. It's natural to wonder what's up with a player on a pro sports team, especially when that player plays for the team you root for. I feel the Bears are making it a bigger deal than it really has to be.

I don't particularly need to see more of him and I want to see more of Shaheen. So I don't especially care.

Not that anyone cares, but my guess was mono also. I also don't think they're being particularly evasive about it, Fox spews meaningless crap about basically every injury anyway.

if the Bears were even an average interesting team, things like this wouldn't occur ... because there would be thread after thread of actual football and team related discussions

alas, the Bears have instead led us into a no mans land of football ineptitude with a coaching staff that seems to be way in over their heads and a team that is inconsistent, generally disorganized and is down the home stretch of yet another losing season
