Checked my injury e-mail after the latest loss, and it was staggering

19, count 'em, nine-frigging-teen players are now Questionable with influenza. and 8 of them listed as 2 weeks.

Now for the butt shots, although its too late.

What's next? Measles?

That's a minor problem compared to what I had... 7 players coming down with food poisoning all at once - 6 defensive players and one OL. They were listed as OUT for one week.

It took some serious roster wizardry to get a complete roster for the next game. I think I only IR'd two players, picked up two, and suffered with a serious lack of depth (we lost the game, BTW).

The restaurant has since been taken off our recommended list.

What other nasties are out there?

That's almost as bad as when Jeeber's team all came down with mono after a big win... (and as rare as they are, isn't any win big for them?)

Hey, it's not my teams fault that your mom wanted to party with a group of winners...

Blast! I knew I should have said anal warts...

This is one of those times where I'm glad QOTM is gone

Do players ever get a dose of the clap?
