Alright, let’s talk about this here NFL and which team gets banged up the most. You know, like them fellas always gettin’ hurt and whatnot. It ain’t right, all them young boys gettin’ all busted up, but that’s the game, I guess.
Now, I heard tell some folks sayin’ it’s the New England Patriots. Yeah, them fellas with that Brady fella, used to be real good. But even with him, they always had a bunch of boys sittin’ on the sidelines, nursin’ somethin’ or other. Sounded like every week they was missin’ a whole heap of players, maybe 17 or so just achin’ and hurtin’. That’s a lot of hurt, y’all, a whole lot. So, maybe them Patriots, they get the hurt bug somethin’ fierce.
- Ankle sprains? Yep, they get them.
- Muscles pulled? You betcha.
- Knees all messed up? Happens all the time.
- Shoulders givin’ ’em trouble? Sure do.
And it ain’t just them little hurts, no sir. Sometimes it’s real bad stuff, like them head bonks, them concussions they call ’em. And them necks and shoulders gettin’ all twisted up, nerves gettin’ pinched and all. Scary stuff, that is.
Now, some fellas say it’s them big boys up front, them offensive linemen. They’re always smackin’ into each other, so it makes sense they get all beat up. But then I heard it’s them runnin’ backs that get it the worst. Them little fellas, always gettin’ tackled hard, legs twisted every which way. And them linebackers and wide receivers, they ain’t far behind. Lots of runnin’ and jumpin’ and gettin’ slammed around. It’s a rough game, football is.
Them wide receivers, they get messed up pretty good too, seems like. Hear tell they’re always gettin’ their ankles and knees twisted up. About 11% of all them football injuries happen to them, so that’s a fair few, ain’t it?
I tell you what, it’s hard to keep track of all them fellas gettin’ hurt. They got reports and lists and all sorts of stuff, sayin’ who’s playin’ and who’s sittin’ out. They even got folks who study all this hurtin’ business, tryin’ to make it safer for the boys. But it’s still a dangerous game, no matter how you slice it.
I heard the NFL keeps track of all this stuff, who’s hurt, how bad they’re hurt, all of it. They say they are trying to make the game safer for the players, which is good, real good. But it seems like every week there’s a new list of fellas who are questionable, doubtful or out for the game. They call it the injury report, I think. Makes you wonder if they’ll ever really figure out how to stop all them boys from getting so hurt.
Now, some folks say the Arizona Cardinals, they lose a lot of games. I heard someone say they lost more than anyone, somethin’ like 810 losses. Losing ain’t the same as gettin’ hurt, but maybe if your boys are always banged up, you ain’t gonna win too many games, right? Makes you think, it does. If your team has lots of injuries, they will probably lose more games.
So, which team has the most injuries? Well, it seems like a lot of teams got fellas gettin’ hurt all the time. But from what I hear, them New England Patriots, they always seem to have a bunch of boys on the sidelines. And them offensive linemen and running backs, they seem to get the worst of it. But the truth is, it’s a dangerous game, and any of them boys can get hurt any given Sunday.
Anyways that’s my two cents, even if it is just the ramblings of an old woman, take it or leave it.
