Conn Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Does that mean Andrews is out? I read somewhere that he was getting pretty old and supervising more surgeries than he performed nowadays...or is this a different, non-gameday position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSO Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Glad to have you on board. Not going to ask for much, but I expect nothing less than zero injuries from here on out and if one occurs by an act of God I expect that injury to be healed within one day. Mmmmmmmmkaaaaay?

gbear Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 We got Batman's brother !!! YIPPEE !!!!! Strange that his name is Robin, so when Batman calls out Robin, who jumps first?? I think you missed the gender of Dr. West. If anything, we got Batman's daughter. Maybe she is the reason Batman always bounced back so quickly?

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Does that mean Andrews is out? I read somewhere that he was getting pretty old and supervising more surgeries than he performed nowadays...or is this a different, non-gameday position? With the Redskins, she will work with a staff that includes Dr. James Andrews, a longtime consultant. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/16228328/washington-redskins-name-dr-robin-west-director-sports-medicine It seems like Pitt is like "the U" for sports doctors. From reading about her, she sounds like a great addition to the medical team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she is the reason Batman always bounced back so quickly? Yes I am... And after finding out THAT little nugget of info, I bow out, but not before at least saying that her office will be full of players from day 1, unless she's like Ms. Ballbricker. { you old farts know who i'm talking about ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamyesme1111 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Preventing injuries is one of the most important things we can hope to happen. I hope this addition to our personnel will actually help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
