Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News reports that Jets running back Curtis Martin still hasn't given up on playing NFL football.

"He's talking about trying to come back," a source told Cimini.

But if, as reported, Martin has no cartilage in one of his knees and if, as we assume, he hasn't had microfracture surgery aimed at simulating cartilage growth via the development of scar tissue, we'd be shocked if Martin makes it back.

Besides, the Jets have Thomas Jones ready to take the job that Martin used to have. So even if Martin can play, it's unlikely that he'd be the starter.

And, by the way, Martin's intentions don't exactly mesh with allegations he made last month in a court of law that he is permanently and totally disabled.

But the reality is that Martin's policies (like most disability policies) allow him to have a "rehabilitation period" of up to four regular season games. So even if his goal is to come back for only one more game, he can still pursue his disability benefits.

Yeah I heard Larry Flynt was trying out for the runningback position of the Packers too! These gents like Martin are "physically challenged," but Martin's chances of coming back are worse than those of the Bay City Rollers!
