    Even someone with a completely torn ACL can look normal, until knee buckles. One doesn't need your seat belt until the car accident.

    Ryan Tannehill "looks normal" to his coach, but there's still a slight ACL tear lurking inside the QB's knee

    Anticipate 6-9 month recovery. Typically not a career ending injury but easily could be for a 34 year old point guard.

    Assuming biceps surgery went well, should not have recurrent problems. Good prognosis.

    fourth rounder Reeves-Maybin suffered a biceps subluxation senior year. Long term prognosis? Risk for re-injury?

    Despite being RBs over 30, good chance at least 2 of the 3, if not all 3, have productive seasons. Sometimes rest rejuvenates the body.

    Well, Randy went 42-26 from 1975-76 for two awful Padres teams. But this is a pretty good win too!

    Just talked to Randy Jones. He gave me some great news. Doctors told HofFer this morning that he is cancer free.
