NightLink: Fontel Mines is Gone for the Season


Fontel Mines is one of the names we have heard coming from camp of players that were looking good.  With Greg Olsen, Desmond Clark, Kellen Davis and Michael Gaines already having a spot or fighting for a spot, Mines probably would have been a long shot to make the roster. It doesn't really matter now. 

Mines went down in practice and it is now being reported that he has torn an ACL.

Poor guy :(

Not happy about this, but it’s part of the business. Hopefully he’ll rebound next year and make a team.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

She hasn’t been around in a while though…

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

Very nice person, class act just like her father.

I do to some extent

not personally, but we speak now and again. It usually starts with either her letting me know that there is somethign new on her site or me asking about potentially asking questions to some player and we chat a little bit from there.
