MEDICAL RED SHIRT? EXCUSE ME WHILE I HAVE MY PANIC ATTACK

by The Sports Diva, TSD Magazine



The Christopher "Beanie" Wells' foot soap opera, available 24/7 check you local listings, has just reserved my hospital bed. Ken Gordon from The Columbus Dispatch can be thanked for that:

"I think there must be some sort of structural damage in the toe/foot. If it was just a "soft tissue injury'' -- in English, that's called a bruise -- it would not still be such a big issue. For him to be doubtful to play even now, nearly two weeks after the initial injury, leads me to think he will be dealing with this all season.

So that then begs the question: Is it better for him to try and hobble out there week after week, or shut it down and look to the future?" (Dispatch)

Now I'm not freaking out. Those are just words from a columnist. Tressel hasn't mention it. But what if he does? I'm always about looking to the future and beyond this game against USC. But this game is special. Saturday is MY BIRHTDAY! I really like having HAPPY BIRTHDAYS! I rather can't remember my last bad birthday. Bad Valentines Days? Always. But no bad birthdays. I'm not saying that if Beanie were to play then the Buckeyes would definitely get the win. But Beanie is one of my favorite players to watch. Him breaking tackles and rushing for a 60 yard TD could be compared to receiving a Hermes Birkin bag for free. Ok, him doing it at least 3 times throughout the game would be compared to that. It's just so beautiful to watch.

I understand that this is a wait and see type of thing. I'm not a wait and see type of person. So I search for news on Beanie and this is what I find. Thinking I may need to start changing my ways.
