Ok, This is what I've got now. John Ulet on 96.3 has said that a reliable source within the team has told him that T. Holt is out for the remainder of the year because of something with his knee. I live in STL and have no reason to lie or make this up. I'm a Rams fan and just want more info on this.You Bastards :D

Just yesterday they were saying that they expect him back after the bye week.

Enjoy FFToday, later with you.
 
If this is true I am sad as a Rams fan, but happy that my archrival who drafted Holt just to tick me off is now stuck with Joe Jurevicius as his #1 wr.In our league you can put a guy on IR if he is OUT or DOUBTFUL and if he is out for the year, the guy you picked up is locked on your roster (limitted waiver moves).The guy that had Holt picked up Jurevicius the week he was playing me (I have Hasselbeck)...so if this is true he is stuck with Jurevicius. JJ is not a terrible wr, but if D Jax and Engram come back he is a WR4 at best and we only start 3.

 
It would not suprise me at all. I had heard his knee was worse than first reported.

If you were a true Rams fan, there is nothing about losing Holt for the season that should make you happy. Fantasy related or otherwise.

From Yesterday

Bulger, Holt Hope to be Ready for Seattle

Monday, October 31, 2005

By Nick Wagoner

While the stars have been away, the Rams have rediscovered something that had eluded them for three weeks: winning.

With a bye week to rest and heal, Pro Bowlers Torry Holt and Marc Bulger will get plenty of opportunity to get better in time for the Nov. 13 tilt against the Seahawks in Seattle.

But, is their return necessarily a good thing?

“I don’t want to come back because I don’t want to screw up the chemistry,” Holt joked. “I told them you guys are doing so well, I don’t want to screw anything up. A couple of fans made some comments… I said (the team) has done a fantastic job. It’s very exciting and very pleasing to see how well they responded and how well they are playing as a group.”

Of course, the Rams will take Holt and Bulger back with open arms. After all, Holt led the NFL in receiving yards when he injured suffered a grade 2 PCL sprain against the Seahawks on Oct. 9 and Bulger led the league in passing yards when he suffered a sprained shoulder against the Colts on Oct. 17.

Both players expressed great joy about how the Rams responded in their absence as well as the absence of receiver Isaac Bruce and defensive end Leonard Little. Armed with a week to rest and another week of preparation, practice and treatment, though, it appears the Rams will get Bulger and Holt back in time for the all-important divisional game against rival Seattle.

Bulger, in particular, was adamant about his return to the Rams next week.

“It will just be a pain issue and I can’t hurt it worse now,” Bulger said. “I think after this week it will be strong enough. As long as I can deal with the pain, I think I will be all right. We’ll take it easy this week and Monday we’ll have a day and Tuesday off again and then full bore back on Wednesday.

“I know for sure I’ll be back.”

Bulger did some throwing last week, but admittedly regressed some as he tried to push forward. He estimated that he was at about 50 percent throwing last week and still didn’t retain full range of motion.

Bulger will spend part of this week in St. Louis working out and doing some light throwing. He and Holt have made plans to workout together Tuesday morning, which will probably be the extent of Bulger’s throwing before he takes off to watch his West Virginia Mountaineers take on Connecticut in football on Wednesday night.

While it was hard for Bulger to watch the Rams play without him, his pain was eased by the fact that St. Louis was able to grab a pair of wins.

“It made sense,” Bulger said. “Especially now that we won, I am glad we took it off so I can get back close to 100 percent next week.”

As for Holt, things look promising, but he stopped short of proclaiming himself in for Seattle as Bulger did.

Holt actually played against Indianapolis a week after suffering the injury against Seattle, but that didn’t help him get better and he has struggled to gain his footing and has had the knee give out on him when he tried to run.

The sprain kept Holt out against New Orleans and Jacksonville and relegated him to cheering his teammates on and dishing out advice on the sidelines.

“When I came back from the Indianapolis game I was running and it would give and it would give again and I just didn’t feel comfortable with it,” Holt said. “I wouldn’t have been of any service to this football team or myself. I didn’t think I could help. I could be there and be a presence, but I wanted to be there and help and be involved. I didn’t feel I would be that good at doing that.”

While many of Holt’s teammates will spend the majority of the bye week on vacations and relaxing, Holt will spend his time attempting to get healthy. He went through a number of workouts Monday afternoon and reported positive signs from his exercises.

“Today I was able to run and do some cutting and did some things that were exaggerated on some drills with the knee to see what type of burst and acceleration and what type of strength and see how stable it was,” Holt said. “Those things I did do felt good. Then I did a full workout as well. I think today was probably a very good day as far as mentally trusting the knee and trusting that the rehab has been working. Overall, it was a good day. I made more progress.”

Holt stops himself just short of saying that he will definitely be back in time for the rematch with the Seahawks, but that is the goal.

“I am shooting for the Seattle game,” Holt said. “I think this bye week is going to be very beneficial.”

 
John Ulet is a reliable source for sports??? As a resident of Saint Louis, I wouldn't consider 96.3 a reliable source for sports information. It's an FM music station.

 
FYI --I did not hear the comments in question, but live in St. Louis and can add a bit of info. John Ulett participates in a talk-show during the morning rush hour on a classic rock FM station. In addition to his radio duties, the U-man, as he is called on the air, is also the stadium announcer for the baseball Cardinal's home games. Thus, while not exactly a sports reporter, he does have some contacts within the sporting community here in town.Again, I did not hear the show today, so I can't verify that he made this statement. However, he generally strikes me as a pretty stand-up guy, and if he did say this, I wouldn't immediately discount the info either.Definately would want to hear it from some other sources, but troubling never-the-less as I'm currently trying to work out a trade for Holt.

Do some fellas in your league frequent the message boards and you're posting this as a ploy to get Holt on the cheap?

Thanks for the info.

My thoughts exactly. If so, I have a vat of burning hot tar...if anyone has any feathers I'd greatly appreciate it.
 
Why in the world should this guy be banned or the thread locked?He said he heard info from a radio guy that Holt's injury could be worse than expected, do whatever you want with that info, but don't flame a guy for posting what he heard.Unless he's completely making this up I don't see a problem with him giving people information on what was on the radio. If you don't think there is any truth to it then ignore it.

Also my thoughts...however, if this is just a ploy to fool his FBG forum-reading league mates, then he should be burned at the stake. :hot:

And there you have it. Until there is independent confirmation from ANYWHERE else (even somebody in St. Louis), this guy should be on thin ice.

Ya, if it's just totally made up then he should be axed, but at this time there is no reason to think he just pulled it out of his ###.
 
Because lot's of crap is said on the radio. Until there is a hint of truth this type of random speculation can only cause problems and make the Shark Pool's value merky at best.I personally think this should deleted...if you have a recording or a link...then post away.This just opens the door for more "dodgy posts". JMHO.

 
Come on guys. I'm not kidding about this. The radio station actually exists and John Ulett is a real person that has real connections in this town. It was on the morning show this morning. I thought this board was to help us SHARKS get the info before anybody else can. I'm looking for your input not your insults. No...... none of my fellow leauge members visit this board. Yes I have Holt on my team and Yes this is a legitamte friggen post. I haven't posted on this board for quite some time now because of all this crap. I've given you a source and a name now CAN YOU ADD ANYTHING POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!

Hey DamnSkippy,If you heard this on a morning show, the news wires would've run rampant on the issue by now if there was any truth to it. I'm shutting this down barring further corroboration.
