Don't want to sidetrack the thread with my story, but it was a pretty amusing, albeit painful experience.

The ER knew I was coming. Doctor had called them before I went in. I had the cat scan that had been done on me literally 1 1/2 hours prior. The doctor had called ahead, so they would be ready for me and be able to get me up to a room quicker...lol....that didn't happen. I was in an ER room for several hours. I learned as the night went along that they simply didn't believe what I was supposed to be being admitted for. Along they way they pulled about a quart of blood from me....one vial at a time, poked and prodded on my whole abdominal area 20-30 times. Would ask the whole on a scale of 0 to 10 what is your pain level (my response was usually 4 or 6, but 6 was visible in my face to them when I said it). All along through this ordeal I'm telling them, "hey, I have this cat scan that might help", but like little cock roaches, their just scurrying here and there, doing their thing. Finally one doctor takes the cat scan and disappears for a while. When he comes back...he has an EKG machine with him. He gets it hooked up.....is watching it closely as I'm laying there.....I have a spike in pain....he then asks again...0 to 10 pain level....I say...6. He pulls all the cords off, says, I'll let you find all those tabs stuck on you yourself and walks out.

Long story short. When he returns he calls me an anomaly. Says I shouldn't even be sitting there talking to him during my high pain level (6). Most people would be screaming in pain or passed out. I laughed and said all he had to do was ask, I could have explained all that to him and saved us all a lot of time. He looked at me quizzically and I said...I'm a Marine, can I get a room now?

I was in a room 15 minutes later. I had been in the ER for approximately 4 hours at that point.

I did discover that at 52 my blood pressure averages about 116/62....at the peak of my pain it peaked one time at 130/70.

That was just the ER portion of my stay. :eek:lol:

130/70... not bad for a geezer.

Glad you're back brother. We've had to deal with stinky Sarge for the last few days. That pain lvl is a ten on your scale.

Kamara was an awesome player here but it seems like every time our fans talk about him they completely forget how loose he was with the football.

And dinged up often also. Durability and ball control were always issues. Also lacks breakaway speed. That being said he is quick as a cat and has good initial burst. Also a solid leader and teammate.

That's not a great way for Mrs. Chancellor to make a good first impression. She better know that.

I'm guessing that just like many outsiders who are brought in here she does not understand this place and is completely oblivious to the $#!+storm that would follow this guy being a serious candidate.

Listening to Hubbs and Hyams segment from yesterday.

I'm getting the feeling that Blackburn has been eliminated.

Also sounds like Davenport doesn't think Fulmer is qualified. I am not sure how much of a say she actually has though.

If the media tour or personal feelings has caused them to move on from Blackburn, I hope they're giving serious consideration to the guy from the Carolina Panthers.
