I didn't see a thread to toss this in, and more threads are betters, so I am tossing this out for digestion.  Chris Kluwe (former punter of the Vikings) wrote a pretty good article for SI.COM on how teams tend to screw with bottom of the roster players with injuries in the pre-season.   
 
So, if by chance you ever find yourself in the NFL during the preseason, fighting for a roster spot, and you happen to get injured, trust yourself, and trust what your body is telling you. Do not sign that paper. Do not run down on that meaningless kickoff. Do not believe the lies they want to sell you, because in the end, it’s not your health they’re worried about, it’s their money.
Know the difference between being hurt and being injured.
 
 
I don't expect him to be receiving many offers from the WWL anytime soon...

Kluwe has had a great sports-as-a-business writing streak once his career ended.  I think he does much better at articles than he does books.
