Winslow sent to hospital

It doesn't matter whether he's on the field or not. We are going to lose by a score right around 38-10 on national television.

We're going to be humiliated by a QB that will play the entire game in spite of a poor performance from the beginning. His staying in will be justified by those that ask why we'd want to subject our rookie to the harrassing defense the Giants feature.

And then we can officially close the book on the season. Kellen's presence has little or nothing to do with the pounding we are going to take.

Thanks for playing spoiler...

Winslow to spend another night in the Clinic
by Mary Kay Cabot
Friday October 10, 2008, 3:57 PM

Browns tight end Kellen Winslow will remain in the Cleveland Clinic for a second night tonight with an undisclosed illness, according to a Browns spokesperson.

Winslow is still listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the New York Giants, meaning there is a 50 percent chance he will play.

The Browns had hoped he would be released on Friday and possibly return to practice on Saturday.

Returning from the bye week Winslow had appeared healthy at Monday's workout, but missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, then was hospitalized Thursday evening.

In light of subsequent posts, I'd say it's even funnier than you intended.

:chuckles:

Kellen "Mack Sac" Winslow.

I like joking as much as the next guy... maybe I'm being a little too sensitive here, but if this does turn out to be something serious like testicular cancer, I really don't see it as a joking matter. Let's just hope for the best, because that is a potentially life-threatening thing.

Depends on what circle you run in. To be quite honest with you, testicular cancer is one of the least life threatening cancers out there. It's really only an issue if it's of the fast growing variety which is extremely rare. And even then, it's only an issue if it starts spreading through the lymph system.

Yeah, I wouldn't joke about this either testicular edema is not good, could mean cancer or heart problems (usually more in older people), both which are serious.

I run in circles that consider any type of fu&*in cancer to be bad. Thanks for your ridiculously idiotic diagnosis though.

My wife is a clinical research director of oncology so she knows better than anyone on these boards about the different kinds of cancer and their treatments/cure rates. She says that testicular cancer is one of the least likely cancers to be life threatening. In fact, there's a better than 90% chance of it being cured because it is generally caught early enough that it can't spread to other parts of the body.

So I'll run in the same educated circle as Xsabre420 with his "ridiculously idiotic diagnosis" over your "overly uneducated opinion" circle any day of the week.

Sorry, I had the balls to laugh at my misfortune when they cut out of one of my nuts. Let's hope K2 can do the same.

Sorry, you're wife could be the Pope's on-call physician for all I care. Trying to convince me that there's a cancer on the planet that doesn't involve significant risk, especially to an athlete playing the most violent game on the planet is indeed, idiotic.

This falls along the same lines with Vince Young when he went out. Ya just hope it's nothing serious.

And if it is serious, not like football matters in that situation - but Cleveland beating NYG on MNF would easily be the biggest upset in the NFL so far, and whether or not Winslow should play really could be a moot point. I'm as optimistic a Browns fan as the next on any given day, but I can barely even fathom Cleveland winning tomorrow night.

Try to explain to me why I should care? I lost a nut to cancer. Didn't ruin my life. Lance Armstrong doesn't even have nuts, and did just fine cycling.

The thing is, testicular cancer is one of the most easily treatable and least likely cancers to kill, let alone have a relapse from. If it's caught early enough, there's very little chemo or radiation even needed. If there is radiation, it's the small pellets inserted to kill the cancerous cells.

If all else fails, removal of the infected testicle before spreading to other areas usually leads to a full recovery with less than 5% chance of reoccurence. If you want to know, my surgery was done outpatient, and I was home the next day.

Quit overreacting to something we aren't even sure is the case. At least let the people who actually do know what they are talking about inform you, before you start flying off the handle with wild scenarios involving K2 laying in a hospital bed getting chemotherapy treatments for the next year.

You want a cancer to be worried about? Try pancreatic cancer with less than a 4% survival rate after 5 years.
