E.J. Savannah Is No Lincoln Hawk

E.J. Savannah could be out for the first part of the season with a broken arm suffered in what the UW calls "a non-football-related activity" but what a source tells Bob Condotta was arm wrestling.

Even money says that Savannah was matched up against a struggling trucker who arm wrestles on the side to make extra cash while trying to rebuild his life.

Condotta says that the injury is a broken humerus, a boo-boo which usually takes two-to-three months to heal. The Dawgs' opener is August 31, so the far end of that puts Savannah out for a critical game against Oregon.

Really, it seems like Husky players should be banned from participating in any activity that appears in a Sylvester Stallone movie. You can end up spending a lot of time in the hospital if you arm wrestle, box, search for POWs, or sleep with Sharon Stone. Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Meanwhile, couple this with the Juan Garcia injury (recent good news notwithstanding) and it become ever more clear that God may be a Dawgman commenter.

I have a friend who had this happen to him. He had a scar running down the lower part of his arm from the shoulder to the wrist because the bones under his bicep just shattered. Ended his college football carreer as well. I wouldn't count on this guy coming back any time soon.

If Jim Mora Jr were the coach he would have taught these kids the importance of thumb wrestling.
