Like previously stated, New England did this for nearly 20 years during the Brady/Belichick run.

Yup. If a guy stubbed his toe he was questionable with a foot. 

Might be NFL urban legend, but I thought I heard the NFL threatened punishment after a very minor injury was not on the injury report, so one of those "over compliance" things happened. Every boo-boo gets reported.

So what is Hurst calf?

I don't buy it at all, and I doubt the Bengals will change their plans based on this.

Kelse is a huge part of their offense and we will scheme accordingly.

He probably slept on it wrong and the Chiefs decided to throw out the questionable tag to mess with us. I fully expect Kelce to be out there for the majority of snaps.

No….I don’t think Mahomes faked his injury. I do think the Chiefs try to do some funky injury updates. They may have “misdiagnosed” his injury, though. Same with Kelce.

As Zac stated…”we’re preparing for their best players”.

No but if he had a headache or a hangnail they could list him as questionable.

Scientifically, it's known as the gastrocnemius.  It's a "larger, two-headed muscle on the back of the lower leg that runs form the condyles (bony protrusions) on the thighbone to the Achilles tendon.  The smaller muscle of the calf, known as the soleus, originates beneath the gastrocnemius and is used to extend the foot when the knee is bent.  Unlike the gastrocnemius, the soleus does not cross the knee joint."  

A "Hurst calf" could be a few things.  It could be the progeny of two cattle, one non castrated male aka a "bull" in addition to one female known as a "cow".  The offspring of these animals would be known as calves, or singularly a calf.  On old man Hurst's farm, this offspring would be a Hurst calf.  

Another explanation would be that it could be the aforementioned muscles on a person by the name of Hurst.

It could also be a relatively obscure cocktail originating in California.  The "Hurst Calf", popular in the 1950's, was said to be preferred by newspaper mogul and tycoon William Randolph Hurst as a delightful refreshment on the links or after a long day of work.  It's exact ingredients and recipe are largely lost to time.  In some cryptobartending circles, it is believed that the licorice spice known as anise was a primary ingredient, along with a healthy amount of rum, some white wine, and the peculiar addition of 4 tablespoons of large-curd cottage cheese.

I said as soon as that play happened it looled like a high ankle sprain at best....

Yeah, I am sure Lou has completely changed the defensive strategy and they won't bracket him with Hilton, Bell, and sometimes Flowers.  

Nice try, Andy.  They will take him away more than anything.  I just hope the rest of the group is up to stopping Pacheco.

Best post I’ve seen in a long time! 

KC has a lot of built in excuses for losing this game. I still think we get due credit for winning though.

Hey, I slept wrong and messed up my shoulder last week. Sleeping can be dangerous. I feel bad for him if that’s what happened. Hurts like a sob.

I think this is all just mind games by the Chiefs. Or not. **** knows.

That sounds terrible!  Who the hell would mix cottage cheese with alcohol in a drink?  That sounds like vomit and no wonder why it was lost to time.   Give me a Hudey Delight and a bottle of Titos with a jar of olives and I'm good to go.

That dry response is almost funnier than the original post.

Wish I had known before swilling some licorice flavored, white wine, rum, and large curd cottage cheese drink. 

I've had worse, but it was a little chewy. 

As expected he's going to play evidently had back spasms.
