      I have had 2 acl reconstruction surgeries (18 and 30 years of age) both due to basketball. The first 2 weeks are the toughest. After that, just make sure like 5 months down the line you don’t over reach. Don’t play football full out just because the knee feels okay, stick to the timetable of recovery

    All of them are but just one play away from a life-changing experience.

There would be no fiscal monster that is today's NFL if that were not true. NFL players are exceptional inside and out.

    That was a cheap ass hit. Went straight for his knees.

      It was really classy how the defender celebrated after taking out Chris' knee but, what else would we expect from the slimy Sean Payton-lead New Orleans Bounty-gaters?!
