Kolb Could Miss Sunday's Game

[52brandon]

its ok, we could probably blowout the rams even with lindley starting

they only lost 1 game, to DET, barely. I'm not underestimating anybody in this division anymore

Yes, he will look at them living happily and wealthy not like other kids whose parents probably couldn't risk losing one day job wage to attend their birth. It happens.

In most states if you lost wages to attend the birth of your child you'd end up MAKING money off it when you sued the company for violating your rights under the Family Medical Leave act or whatever they call it.

And work 16 days a year? Seriously? Warner was talking about Tannehill this morning said his workday is 6:30 am to 8:30 PM and that's pretty typical of an NFL QB. And for many that's 6 days a week. Sunday is actually their light day in terms of hours put in, just the most physical.

Hey Jersey Girl, my wife has been doing THIS FOR 25 YEARS!!! I would say that she knows far more about child birth than you do. Granted, inducing labor is done more out of medical necessity, but the convenience factor has been growing rapidly in the last 10 years. Moms who have husbands in the military do it ALL THE TIME. Moms with husbands that travel internationally for a career do it all the time also. If a woman has had ANY issues (even minor issues) with previous births, the doctors will recommend inducing labor so that Mom & the baby don't incur stress during a possible protracted labor. Our 3rd child had a stroke just prior to birth, & doctors couldn't figure out why. Even though we had NO intentions of a 4th child, God had other plans. For our 4th, the doctors highly recommended inducing labor at 38 weeks. My wife went in at 6 pm, had her membranes stripped at 7 pm & gave birth to a healthy boy before 10 pm that night. The fact that this is her 3rd child means that inducing her in the morning would ALMOST guarantee she will have that kid within hours. If it were her first child, all bets are off.

My grandfather worked in the coal mines & entirely missed all 5 of his children being born. BUT, he was a great husband (married 70 years), father & provider. My father had 8 kids & never saw one of their births (granted, fathers weren't allowed in the room). For 3 of those births, my father was working in an emergency situation & wasn't at the hospital AT ALL. That didn't mean that he wasn't a great Dad. My Mom didn't give a rat's behind that my Dad missed 3 births as they were married for 60 years until my Mom passed last year. The 3 sisters that my Dad wasn't there for have done just fine. They all went to college, are married with children & love my Dad IMMENSELY. Moral of the story - it's what you do raising those children that counts, not whether you're there to witness them coming into the world.

Moral of the story, there is no reason why you SHOULD miss the birth of your child. It's an incredible, amazing experience that you don't have very many times. It has no bearing on what kind of father you will be, of course, but to some and it seems Kolb, it's far more important than money or a game or a job. And kudos to him for having the balls to say it.

Breaking news: Kolbs wifes pocket breaks down leaving no lane for baby

I hope for a healthy baby and a successful birth.

But the above joke got me thinking...

I hear Kolb's wife is going to have a cesarean, because the baby just like old pa, rolled right.

The birth of my daughter was the best day of my life. Nothing else was even close. Not trying to judge anyone else but it was the most sacred experience I've ever lived through. If someone's work required them to miss that it should be something more important than a game. Its not a soldiering in Afghanistan, or some trauma surgeon on call. Its just a game. No matter how many people watch it.

Um... This is the best website ever. I was just wishing that someone would put together such a database.
