I second this list. As far as other reporters Keim and tandler too have been mentioned. I like Sheehan well enough but Czaban let slip this morning that Sheehan was a Cousins guy. Sometimes reporters find the story they want.

lol ... I thought the same thing.

Since I don't listen to him often, it was one of those "Am I missing something?" moments. I then went back and looked at some of his stuff and thought "Nope. I am not."

Chris Russel, among others, reporting Griffin has no fracture, does not need surgery.

I wanna see the guy recover but it just makes the question bigger that we know he will in fact return midseason. If kirk beats Seattle i know who my guy is Without a shadow of a doubt. But like he said lets get past Philly first.

Yeah, we got philly on the road and giants at home first.

One game at a time. I don't care who they put back there, I just want it to be the best person to help win the game.

I don't care who's feelings/ego it hurts.

Perhaps the equipment manager can get Griffin to try bulkier high top cleats to better support his ankles in contrast with the "slippers" that he has been wearing. At first glance, either his feet are very small, or his game shoes are closer to the minimal footwear that punters/kickers play with. I've always thought that he appears to use the lightest (read non-supportive) foot gear.

Im much more concerned at the present moment with DJax and the others that were injured. Should have Reed back soon rite? Also BM coming back. Without getting into Griff vs Kirk - I will just say that rite now I am comfortable with Kirk being our QB. Very comfortable.

Meriweather back should really help. Rambo's had a big hand in both of the TD's the defense has allowed.

Wouldn't they do x-rays at the stadium? Don't need an MRI to tell you if there are fractures. The MRI is to look at the soft tissue.

I believe swelling immediately following injury makes in-stadium XRay and other tests not really useful.

But this is far from something I'm knowledgeable about.

Maybe, but swelling is often worse the next day. Although I'm sure he's been icing the crap out if it. Who knows. I was just kinda wondering out loud.

1 game at a time, lets see who is healthy for Philly, lot of other injuries besides RG3.

One thing I noticed was that 2 or 3 times, Roberts fielded a punt with a defender a bit too close. It never cost him a turnover, this time. I like playmakers, but when got a lead you got to play smart and not take dumb risks. Sometimes it is okay just to take the fair catch.

And all 10 points the defense allowed was because of two plays where the safeties blew the coverage. I don't know if they were going for the INT or what, but when you got a lead and you are the last line of defense you just can't be in front of the receiver.

Here is another media outlet reporting the same thing...

You don't listen to him often but know how good/bad he is as a football guy?
