i_am_the_swammi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I still remain pretty optimistic because as I predicted, Jackson is going to quit on his team, most likely through a "lingering" injury. Portis and Jacobs need to get it in gear a bit and I think I could be just fine out of this. I must admit Jackson is playing quite a bit better than I expected. Jackson vows to finish season BY BILL COATS ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 12/21/2009 Friends and family have quietly suggested to Rams running back Steven Jackson, who has been playing with a herniated disc in his back for a month, that it might be wise to call it a season. "It's been whispered in my ear," Jackson acknowledged. "That's from people on my side looking out for what's best for my future." Jackson is having none of it. "I love football and I love this team," he said Sunday after the Rams tumbled to 1-13 with a 16-13 loss to Houston at the Edward Jones Dome. "I only have two more games to play in this season. So, I'm just going to gut it out." Jackson's refusal to abandon his teammates hasn't gone unnoticed in the locker room, fullback Mike Karney stressed. "It says a lot to this team; you couldn't ask for more from him," Karney said. "I love the guy. I'll put my body on the line for him any time." Said Brown: "We're thankful for his effort week in and week out, what he does and what he contributes to this team. That's just a testament to his willpower, his heart and to his character." "Guys like that, that's who you want to play for," Karney said. "And you don't have enough of them in this locker room. We need more guys like that."

Seahawks21 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah, yeah. PM me your Paypal info or address to send a check to. Grant made a decent run at it, but none of the other guys end up in the top 28? Somebody didn't want me to contend in this little wager. I've got to give it up to Jackson, he had a good season and didn't quit on his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
