I hope they give the starting pos. back to Springs.

Dont teams have to report injuries by Thursday?

I never understood why people thought it was Springs.

Um I am almost positive it wasn't Springs. He was quoted numerous times after the incident saying he didn't say such a thing because he was never raised to talk behind someones back like that. He was also somewhat upset the media thought it was him.

I dont see how it couldnt be AA.

I wish I had a good reason why I thought/think it was Springs. I guess just a gut feeling with influence from the media.

Either way just saw his interview on Sports Net and he said that he doesnt care who starts that it doesnt matter, whatever it takes to win. But he said it with a smerk and kinda "whatever" attitude. I cant really describe the way he said it, but it definately wasnt sincere.

I think in high school you could describe whats going on here as "drama", hopefully not anything to big yet. I really hope theres no bitterness or spite between GW and Springs.

If it was him there's no way the team would have brought him back. Why would you want a guy like that in the locker room??

I thought Tom Friend had said it wasn't Springs, I'll see if I can dig that up.

As for Springs claiming to be fully healthy, maybe he is but when's the last time any player admitted to being hurt (short of being on IR)? Players always say they're fine until they absolutely can't take the field.

Especially since he will be looking for a new contract next year. He would like to be able to say he was completely healthy this whole entire season. Being tagged as injury-prone diminishes his market value.
