Gurus only ones healthy after week 7

The Gurus had another big week and brought home the bacon. We were 3-1-1 on Sunday picking up an additional 4.8 stars and bringing the total on the season to a positive 6.1 stars. Lotion went to a still unprecedented 7-2 on this site thanks to the heartless Lions of State College, Pa.

We have heard weekends referred to as rivalry weekend or showdown Sunday. This past weekend will go down as infirmary Sunday. The following are a list of key injuries that happened on Sunday:

Matt Hasselbeck will miss 3 - 4 weeks due to a knee sprain - all this after the Vikes handed the Hawks their arse and kicked me out of my suicide pool.

Mike Doss tears his ACL and will miss the rest of the year - a weak defense just got weaker.

Big Ben suffered what appeared to be a concussion and may miss the game against Oakland - the good news is their next opponent is Oakland and I think I could QB them to victory.

Gary Baxter tore both his patellar tendons while defending a pass in the first half of the game against Denver - that Cleveland defense just got worse...if possible.

Matt Lepsis - starting LT for the Broncos has a torn ACL and is done for the year...with the Broncos being so dependent on the run, this could have a huge impact on their weekly game plan.

Breaking News: GuruJoe has been contacted to come out of retirement by the GB Packers to play WR - Robert Ferguson goes down with a foot injury for the third year in a row...they went and signed some guy from Portland State...and you wonder why Favre can't do anything?

All the MN WR's that you have heard of (can you name one that doesn't have the last name, Robinson, Taylor, or Williamson?) have injuries after their game in Seattle. All look to play next week, but none will be 100%.

Some other non-injury issues:

Shawne Merrimen is facing a 4 game suspension for use of a steroid - this is a huge impact on that great D. Merrimen is appealing the suspension.

Jags DE Bobby McCray was arrested for reckless driving and possession of a controlled painkiller...maybe he was carrying them for the rest of the defense after that embarassing loss to Houston.
