The Back Alley Archives

Both out for the first game.

Hopefully be back for Miami.

Why??? Actually injury or do they just want to be careful and not use them if they don't need to?

well injury and cautiousness best I can tell. Spikes has a foot injury and Harvin still has soreness in his heel.

There is speculation that these "injuries" are coverups.

The Spikes coverup would be for a failed drug test and Harvin's would be for a suspension from the fight.

I have a call in to my boy bigtime to find out one way or the other. Should have word from him sometime tomorrow.

got a text from him...he's at work and will double check when he gets off - but he's pretty sure they're both in trouble and not really hurt

What was the final verdict, Jimmy?

yeah, what's the werd?

Also heard Hernandez was suspended for game 1.

they were both suspended. bigtime and I have been playing phone tag so I have not been able to get confirmation on Hernandez, but that is my guess as well, Katie.

All three were suspended for the game, but I'm not sure how much Harvin would have played had he not been suspended.

funny.

i remember seeing the starting lineups on the tv and they listed hernandez as the starter....musta been a gametime thing on hernandez

In warm-ups, he strained an oblique stretching for one of Tebow's overthrown balls.

they were both suspended. bigtime and I have been playing phone tag so I have not been able to get confirmation on Hernandez, but that is my guess as well, Katie.

Judging by the picture of Percy in the other thread, I am guessing the suspension was for steroids! Have you talked to your boy yet?

I'd be surprised by a suspension for steroids. Is there a mandatory suspension for roids like there is for weed?

Percy's was not for 'roids.

My original guess was that it was for the fight with Rainey (and it still could be). However, one of Harvin and Hernandez got suspended for a run in with the law that was done away with in exchange for a one game suspension. bigtime thinks (but isn't more than 60% sure) that it was Harvin, but he can't remember and isn't sure why of the Hernandez suspension. My guess is bigtime got his wires crossed and Hernandez was the one who got in trouble and percy was the rainey fight.

Now we're playing phone tag over this Miami game...I want to know WTF is going on with Moody.

hater is relevant.
