Guys,
I'm only going to put this up here, because I don't want to "push" this.
But I think you all should know.
Our GB Sigmund Bloom's on the PUP List.
He got hit by a car last night.

A 61-year-old woman is charged in an accident that sent two people to the hospital Sunday night.

Five pedestrians were struck by a car outside the Backyard -- near the intersection of Highways 620 and 71.
Hundreds of people were exiting the venue at 11 p.m., after the Black Crowes concert. Some had to cross the intersection to get back to their vehicles.

KVUE's report
That's when police say a suspected drunk driver in a sports car sped down 620 and hit five people.
Criminal Defense Attorney Travis Williamson said fellow attorney Jeff Wilson was among those hit and among those most seriously injured.
Wilson is at Brackenridge hospital where friends said he underwent brain surgery and is now in a coma.
Kim Bloom, a county attorney, was also hit. She suffered a broken leg, but is otherwise OK.
On a website for the Black Crowes fans talked openly about the accident, including the husband of Kim Bloom, Sigmund, who was also hit.
He suffered a broken right hand and road burns, but is also OK.
Two others involved in the accident have not yet been identified.
It was reported that one is in critical condition and the other serious condition.
Three others walked away from the accident with minor injuries.
Mary Dodgen of Tyler, Texas is charged with five counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle.
Sounds like Bloom's ok, but is likely out of action for a week or more.I don't want to make a huge deal about this, but Bloom is a really good guy and that transcends fantasy football.
As a solid FBG, Bloom means a lot around here. I'd like you all to take a minute and wish him well. bloom@footballguys.com is his email.
Keep this on the QT, but a few PMs to the regulars in the SP and whatnot would be a nice grass roots effort to lift the man while he's down.
Thanks.
