I'm sorry, Peyton


I jinxed him. *sob*

If you watch the video here, you can see him run a touchdown in at 0:27 and the play where he got injured at about 0:56. A more detailed view of the injury here.

There's the obvious reason this upsets me, because I feel like I jinxed him because he is my newest football crush, and then there's the equally as obvious reason it upsets me, because he is a fantasy football owner's dream. At least he got me 12 points before he got hurt. Hopefully it's not too serious. *waiting for news*


4:13 p.m.
"Broncos placed RB Peyton Hillis on injured reserve with a torn hamstring, ending his season.
He tore the hammy "a few inches off the bone," Mike Shanahan revealed, and faces eight weeks of recovery. Hillis won't need surgery. Hillis ends his rookie year with 5.0 YPC average on 68 carries, six TDs, and 14 catches. He has a nice outlook as a future utility man, but probably not as a pure tailback. While Hillis will be in the mix for short-yardage carries in a potential 2009 committee for Denver, teams don't usually "feature" backs with limited speed and moves. His long-term ceiling in dynasty leagues is low."

waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ouchie! That really looks like it hurt. (obviously) He landed on his big meathead, too. (Sorry, I had to.)

You watched the video? I'm shocked! You're becoming a closet football fan, aren't you?

Do you think it's my fault?

Wah! He was on my FF team too... and was doing so well. *sobs*

Now between him and Marion Barber, I won't know what to do with my RBs.

yikes. Sorry Nutzy. I have Pierre Thomas (who has been a dream), Ronnie Brown (who I benched the week he had 39 points and he splits carries WAY too much), Justin Fargas (who needs to go to a different team) and SJax (who drives me nuts).

I probably wouldn't have played Peyton next week anyway... IF I win this week but still. *pout*

Yes I watched the video. Well, I watched the first minute of the video. No, I'm not becoming a football fan- closeted or otherwise. No, I don't think it's your fault.

It is your fault, it's obvious he wants you to take care of him and did it on purpose!
