The roller dome has eaten up many a knee in it's lifetime. Boy would it be nice to get a natural grass open top stadium for these guys to play in.

They did just get brand new field turf at the dome. Looks very forgiving. Saw a woman on the jets sideline walking in heels and the heel completely disapeared into the turf.

As a side note, maybe the Vikes can trade Sage for a CB. Jets might need Sage, given the way Sanchez is playing... Sage and a 1st rounder for Revis :silly:

LOL :laugh:

We should just about be ok with this, i like Asher and think he will be a good player, plus we have Lito there too. Between the two of them we should be ok till Cook gets back.

It's not ideal, but that's football.

It doesn't appear as though it has fixed the knee wrecking tendency.

Me too. I was so looking forward to watching him play (and hopefully start) this week. Truth is, it's practically in the cards that we will have a couple of injuries to much more valuable players in the course of the season. I hate to say this (and I probably shouldn't) but I have this sick feeling in my stomach that Favre will get injured and end his career on the injury list. Please, please be wrong!!

Talking about getting sick of injuries. I even managed to get a painful injury when I sparred against the Norwegian Judo Champion four days ago. He broke my ribs. It sucks because I can't do anything in 3-6 weeks.

I used to work for the Twins when they first built the dome. The old "turf" was nothing more than carpet on top of concrete. I still can't believe that that's the way we treat our athletes.

hmm.. you worked for the twins in 82, and its now 2010.

The turf is not the same. The Astroturf we had is gone, we've got fieldturf now. Known as the safest in the game. Better than grass.
