Shaun Jokes About Possibly Still Having a Broken Foot; I Joke About Existential Crises

Nothing satisfies the soul of Seattle sports fans quite like premature and so far unjustifiable panic. Belly up to the buffet table, Hawksmen:

The AP reported some interesting quotes from Shaun Alexander regarding the teeny-weeny-itsy-bitsy chance that his foot, the fracture of which kept him on the sidelines for a good chunk of '06, may still be -- have you stashed away your revolvers yet? -- a little bit broken:

"I don't even want to get another X-ray until after this camp," a smiling Alexander said after his fourth consecutive day of occasionally carrying the ball during no-contact, no-pads drills. "If the X-ray shows it's still cracked, it's like, 'OK. What does that mean?'"
What does it mean? Well, for us personally, it means we're more nervous than Pacman Jones' publicity agent talking to Roger Goodell over a dying cell phone.

But, ultimately, long-range, nothing to get worried about until training camp. Besides, July is traditionally the best month for drinking out of self-pity, since if you have to pass out outdoors you won't freeze to death.

Is it a big deal?
I'm not sure it's that big of a deal. He played on it broken and did well. Even after the Bears game they checked and the crack was still there...had been filled in some. It seems to be strong enough for him to rush 40 times in one game for good results...it didn't get weaker.

This is a weird injury though.

If it's serious
this can be bad news. See this is why we should have drafted Michael Bush.

Did you just state
"The sky is falling!  The sky is falling!"

It's May.  Relax.  Have some flintstone vitamins and delicious jello pudding.  Shrug will go turn on Blue Clue's, and Scruffy will make sure you got your bear Mr. Peeps.  Life will be fine.
