Default Playing through the pain.

"Sep 25 Scott Petrak, of the Medina Gazette, reports Cleveland Browns QB Charlie Frye (general soreness) expects to play in Week 4."

My God! How does he know he'll be okay to play 6 days ahead of time?

This is why I admire professional athletes.

I've often made the call into work that I wouldn't be able to make it in because of "general sickness". That's how I know I couldn't be an NFL QB.

Way to show leadership Charlie. I'm sure all your teammates are in awe of your capacity to endure "general soreness".

Me too, I admire their resiliency. I heard Sergio Garcia played through the pain of a very nasty paper cut this weekend. My god, these golfers are tough! And I once heard Jack Nickalaus won a major after getting stung by a bee in the middle of one of his rounds. LOL!

I got stung on the tongue by a bee. Pain? Yeah. Scared of bees since. I have been known to run for a block or more to get away from one

For Garcia, that would be just another excuse for when Tiger sends him crying back to mommy the next time!
I never criticize pro football players though (except for head-cases like TO) due to injuries...these guys play through more pain than we know...Peyton playing with a broken jaw, Travis Henry with a broken leg, many linemen come out all taped up (or more accurately still...taped together) and still go full speed. They are all warriors...same with many basketball players...Kobe played in pain all year...

Somer:

There was no story in that article. What football player doesn't have general soreness after a game? It's pine splinters in the butt or Charlie Frye syndrome (I want to copywrite that).

I just found it hilarious that someone actually thought it was worth reporting. Sun rises in east. You heard it here first!

BTW: ESPN I FF belongs to me. AP took a bad beat last week. I see a 12 win steak coming.

I got Stung in the buttocks (Forrest Gump pun) in a high school Tennis Match once. One of the best matches ever.

My freshman year in HS I got hit in the head with a Driver Head standing to someone who said 'hey look this would be a good patch grass to use a driver off the ground. Shot a HS record of 3 under par 32 in the match. The running joke became alright Joel hit Sprunger in the head with your driver.

In my junior year I was standing on the green watching a fellow competitor putt his ball. He missed it and got very upset. I went and put the pin back in the hole and started to walk away when all of a sudden he swung his club at the pin. The pin got bent almost to a 90 degree angle and coming back at an insanely fast speed caught the top of my head putting a rather gruesome hole in it. Needless to say I bled all over the place (like a horror movie) and was rushed to a friend's nerby house where he washed out my cut using a garden hose. Then I went to the hospital and got like 60 stiches.

I remember a match where the JV was on the other nine and one of the guys shanked his drive into his playing opponents ankle. Guy was down and out for the day.
