Fitz dominated the playoffs with a broken thumb and 2 torn ligaments?!

I never heard anything about this before. Has this been covered here and I just missed it? This only makes the numbers look crazier.

Here's my link to Mike Sando's ESPN blog (which frequently links here btw) in which he thanks a commenter for referencing a USA today story on the subject, and links to said story;

I missed it as well

This is the first I’m hearing of it, it sounds a little far-fetched as I’d think his thumb would have been wrapped pretty good if that was the case.

However, I don’t doubt some truth to it because nobody plays at 100% health in the NFL. Hopefully our Seattle faithful is reading this and starts to pick up on the fact that winning teams play through this kind of thing, losing teams tend to sit players out more than the norm.

One thing is for certain — our WR’s are truly elite, no matter the criteria.

Actually I read about this before

He is just a damn beast.

A man from Dallas who bleeds red, not silver and blue.

This is true

We may have missed it because they wanted to keep it quiete throughout the playoffs. Then once they lost the Super Bowl and the news came out, much of us were too deflated because of the loss. It does make his numbers look more impressive though.

again if I remember correctly

there was some rumor after the SB that he had a hand injury, but I don’t think it was ever released how serious it was. Either way though he’s basically a freak and I’m starting to wonder if he’s really from this planet.

Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

No he is an alien.

Didn’t you see him on Men in Black?

Speaking of freaks...

did any of you see 4th and Long, Michael Irvin’s reality show. I swear the winner, Jesse Hollie, reminds me of Fitz, right down to his hands and jumping ability. Doesn’t hurt he was a WR and a PG at UNC.

That was a pretty damn good show

Although it was a little overly dramatic. Kinda pissed me off that they said Montrell Jones was from the University of Tennessee. He played one season their before transferring and graduating from Louisville.

When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again. True story.
