I'm dropping him this week in my PPR--he wont be 100% ever again this season and no one is buying him.

Just 12 days ago I took him at 1.03 in our 4 person PPR keeper and I'm done with him. Had this been his elbow or something else I may be willing to hold him but I just see him cominge back, in his first game, and getting re-injured. I'm going to drop him and take my chance on re-aquiring him later on...if I dont get him back then oh well.jah77 said:Part of me wants to do that but for some delusional reason I'm holding out some hope.

Danny Amendola's Father Sues Cowboys Stadium Over Runaway Golf Cart
Amendola is the head coach at Dekaney High, and had just won the state championship at Cowboys Stadium. Meeting with reporters at midfield, Amendola had no idea that motorized death was lurking. Stadium workers accidentally wedged a pylon in the accelerator, and it took off, mowing down everyone in its way
You can see Amendola in the gif above, in a light blue shirt. He's the one who winds up on the hood of the cart before bailing out.

Somehow I seriously doubt it was an endzone pylon. They weigh like a pound. How could that depress an acceleration pedal.

Ok, ok, sorry about the dad.
Anyone see if Danny PPR was (er) "practicinging" today?
Stretching, lifting end zone pylons, whatever, was he out there?

Looks like the Amendolas get the last laugh on the Cowpokes for releasing Danny-boy way back when.

Idiot in my league just dropped him. I got excited for a second, then read how long he might be out and realized I don't have anyone I want to drop for someone as fragile as he is. It will be interesting to see how much someone will end up spending on him tomorrow.

Just don't know what to do with this guy. Plus New England usually incredibly coy on theses matters. Have till 10 tonight to put him on IR to get him back by week 7. Hoping more concrete info comes out. Leaning towards IR because how comfortable can you be starting him if he is activated in a week or two?

Actually he glt flipped onto the cart next to the steering wheel, tried to steer it so it wouldn't hit anyone else, and then rolled off when the other dude caught up to the cart. Not a bad move, all in all.

Seems like this will linger. I would trade him while he still has value and you can say he's back in a few weeks.

What are you guys doing with him?
I'm a PPR league, I'm seriously contemplating dropping him. I need to go get another wideout, and the WW is pretty thin (14 team). Would be for someone like Patterson (it's also a return league). I'm 0-2 and need to make a move to get out of the ditch.

Most confusing #### I've seen in a while. Why he's not off his feet and resting is beyond me. At least you can say "but look, he's practicing" if you tried to move him.jah77 said:I feel like I'm missing something here. Can someone please explain this to me?
Danny Amendola WR NE 1 HrDanny Amendola (groin) was participating some in Wednesday's workout but is "clearly still in pain."
For some reason, Amendola is hobbling around with his teammates as he tries to work through his groin issues. He's still expected to miss at least two more weeks. Julian Edelman will be a target monster once again in Week 3, especially with Rob Gronkowski (back) looking questionable at best.
WHY THE F IS HE PRACTICING IF HE IS CLEARLY STILL IN PAIN and this is an injury that needs time to heal. What the hell is going on?

Plus, that guy ran across a football field and caught something without tearing his abductors in the process. The Pats should give him a call.Insein said:Never saw this. Its impossible not to laugh.jah77 said:I was just doing a search for Amendola injury news and came across this.

I don't think the purported sports hernia is the problem. It's the torn adductors (groin) that, I believe, is preventing him from practicing.jah77 said:I haven't bothered trying to move him.

But this is killing me because it's giving me no faith that things will eventually be okay with this guy.
Is the goal to just try to play through the pain from week to week? I'm thinking that's what's going on here. That he is trying to avoid inevitable surgery and play through the pain. I think that's foolish if it's the case. I'm no prophet but I will almost guarentee if that's the case he will be able to do so for a game or two and have to get the surgery anyway. If he needs surgery he should just get it over with and come back in the second half of the season.

This guy was on the practice field this week so I don't know what to expect. Crazy situation. Is it a slight tear, partial tear, full tear - those are things that no one knows except his docs.

I love how tearing the adductor was the best case scenario for Amendola.

Torn adductor muscle? Complete tear? I'm no doctor, but I can't imagine him playing effectively this season. I tore my groin muscle a while back and it took about 6 months to heal.

A lot of the doctors they have talked to say its a multiple month injury if you don't completely tear it and opt not to have surgery.
But if you do completely tear it or opt to have surgery then it only takes 2-6 weeks to heal.

I wouldn't touch this turd with a 10 foot pole. This is the 2nd time he's hosed me.
Griffindor

I think the key is that he tore the tendon. What I read is that they actually clip the tendon in the surgery, so he basically did the doctors' work for them and potentially shaved weeks off his recovery in the process. That's pretty boss, actually.
I'll keep him until he gets injured again.

this sounds a lot like the plantar fascia ligament injuries, although worse.
St Kilda AFL footballer, Robert Harvey, did this in a much reported case in the media here. He just kept jumping of the kitchen table until it [plantar fascia ligament] totaly ruptured. The expected 8 week layoff due to the partial rupture was reduced.

I wish he could stay healthy, so talented, but just not the body to withstand a season.

Might as well put Amendola on IR by halftime. He isn't 100 percent. This smells like desperation, but it is coming from a 3 - 0 team. I just don't get it

Good thing my backup option is Hartline. Love when the stars align and your insurance plan for a Sunday night game is a guy going on Monday night.
Also good in the sense that if I need a huge stat line after the Sunday day games, I can roll Amendola out there. If I'm doing fine, just don't risk it and roll with Hartline.
Can't say I'm thrilled about this though...really hope the Pats aren't doing something that could jeopardize his season, but I just don't see the Pats taking that kind of risk. They can win without him, but they'll want him come crunch time.
