Apparently, his knee has exploded.

SHIT

[Dave Gray]

That is bad.

Really bad.

I'll probably take heat on this...but why couldn't this have happened the week "before" he was set to sign the large contract? Don't get me wrong, I hope Camarillo recovers and continues to make big catches for the Phins, but this shit just seems to happen too often right after the ink dries.

I'm sure that no one is more pissed about it than Greg Camarillo himself. The guy is a class act.

look at it this way: he's going to miss 5 games.  Not that big a deal.  He'll be back next season.

That is very pessimistic of you.  I hope he misses more than 5 games and be back next season.

  A "knee explosion" would be the type of injury Daunte Culpepper suffered.  Greg tore his ACL.  Might want to your choose words a little more carefully, next time.

Of course he is.



Thank GOD Best has learned to run some routes.  He's coming on a little bit.

I'd agree with you, Stroke, 9 times out of 10, but in his case, he was making league minimum.  I think it's still worth it for us, and the guy deserved it.

Injuries are part of the NFL and the NFL is a business.  So, I don't fault you for being cold-hearted about it.

Had he been slacking up to this point, signed and then got nuked I would agree.  But he'll be fine next season and he is the type of guy Miami needs on this team - a bulldog attitude that isn't afraid to get dirty.

I was actually about to post a more concise synopsis of the injury. Here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9495

However, at the time of my original post, the injury was not specified: the only information I had was that his knee was injured and that he was done for the season. So I just picked a word which sounded grisly, because season-ending knee injuries ARE grisly.

I just hate to see the "sign and ouch" happen to the Phins or the Niners...and hope the Camel comes back just as good as he was.

LOL, that dream ended yesterday

I really hate that this happened as I like Camarillo and I do hate to see someone signed to a contract they earned and then get hurt ... but speaking of getting our $$$ worth out of a player how about getting Wilford's @$$ on the field and making him at least work a sweat.

I don't care if they line him up and just make him run deep routes every play or make him run some slot through the middle ... but if he's gonna collect a check then he outta be getting dirty. At least put him on special teams and make him run down people making 10x less then him.
