Bad Bugs

Looks like that bug Kevin Boss and Mike Matthews had a couple of weeks ago hasn’t completely crawled out of Giants Stadium. Today, FB Madison Hedgecock, DT Manny Wright, and S Michael Johnson went on sick call with the same thing. High fever, bad stomach, etc. Don’t want to jinx myself here, but one of the other writers was dragging with a similar issue yesterday. Two pieces of toast this morning fixed him right up, though.
I’m hoping it doesn’t hit me. I covered the bulk of the 1990 Super Bowl week with a stomach flu, and was just happy to get through the game alive. Hope I don’t have to do the same this time around. Besides, coaches get really ticked when writers infect their players, even if it was a player who infected the writer first.
Oh, well. Good news is that Rich Seubert and Kevin Dockery are fine in that regard. Their limbs, not so great. Seubert rehabbed his sprained MCL by pushing around a Gatorade cart, and Dockery and his strained hip flexor worked out on the sideline. Neither should see the practice field until next Wednesday.
Not to pump up my own stuff, but you might want to take a gander at my story tomorrow. It’s basically about how everybody’s dirty at this time of year. Coaches lie (listening Bill Belichick?), players hit after the whistle. We all knew that, but this is the first time I ever heard anyone say, “Hey, we’re all dirty.” Oh, if only the baseball players would utter those words in front of Congress. But then, I think we’re talking about two different things here. Just a guess.
Okay. One more day before I take off for the desert. All bon voyage bouquets and fruit baskets can be sent in care of my office. They’ll make sure I get them.
Ciao for now.
