Let me get this straight, instead of getting the operation HIS KNEE/S need, taking the time off to heel and come back STILL IN HIS PRIME(he is only 24), he will RISK a CAREER ENDING INJURY of one year??!! What a stupid a$$****!! I DO NOT, by no means, wish him harm....but he will get what he deserves. That is ALL I am gonna say.
It appears the Chargers will have their main defensive lightning bolt after all.
"I know what's at stake," Merriman said Wednesday. "But I had a goal with the team before the season started, and I'm sticking to it."
When asked how sure he was about playing, Merriman replied, "100 percent."
Merriman has a torn PCL and LCL in his left knee, but has postponed the surgery necessary to deal with those issues. He sought the opinion of several noted specialists in the last week. While all of them recommended surgery, the decision was ultimately left to the player.
"I'm putting the surgery off until I need it," he said.
Last weekend, as Merriman pondered his upcoming decision, he acknowledged the inherent risks in playing this season.
"It could be career-threatening if I did (play)," Merriman told The Associated Press. "It's a possibility. That possibility is still open.
"To be as simple as possible, I just want to play football. That's what it comes down to. I know what's on the table, I know what's on the line. I put a lot of work in this and I want to play."

Funny.....here we are arguing ON HIS BEHALF for HIS HEALTH...and your worried about him being a free agent at the end of '09...

But it does say something about "us the fans". We often criticize players for being all about the money, if Merriman does end up ending his career by playing fooball this season he will lose millions of dollars. Yet here we are calling him a moron for playing to try to help San Diego win a championship this year instead.
BUT, wouldn't you rather have a player take care of himself physically and emotionally so he can TRY to help his team win multiple championships as opposed to 1 and done? No one has made a issue of money in this thread, it has been the issue of taking the chance on one season as opposed to multiple.
It reminds of that ole joke: 2 bulls, father and son, are sitting on a hill looking down at all the cows at the bottom of the hill and one bull says to the other: "dad, let's run down there and f**k one of those cows.....!" The dad bull says, "why not walk and f**k ALL of the cows instead?"
Dude....that is OWNERSHIP talking. Think about it, the ONLY doctors that said he was ok to play, were the TEAM DOCTORS.....
Folks, we are not talking A COUPLE OF DOCTORS....we are talk 4 DIFFERENT DOCTORS!!!SignOnSanDiego.com > San Diego Chargers -- Merriman opts to play

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
