Old guy

As we all know will be the case JG will try as hard as he can to stay in the regular rotation. I hope he achieves this goal.

Great news! Congratulations JG, well deserved.

Hoosier, a common problem with a unilateral knee disorder and surgery is that the patient favors the other side to carry the load. He has started his practice, apparently successfully. However he may need to relearn how divide the load evenly between both knees. Overloading of the other knee may well be what is producing the pain he is having at this time.

By reading this thread, it appears that Dion did not play in the scrimmage. I think this was a good thing to do, he is hopefully ready to play but why risk something bad happening during a scrimmage that does not count for the season.

It does not really matter what the initial cut and paste patches look like when you make the report. When you finish the report's content, you convert the whole report to a single font and adjust the sizes of the titles and other markers (black or italics) for emphasis. It takes a bit of work but it can be made to look reasonably good.

I have known and dealt with too many Chris Mays during my corporate years. I will leave it there. I think selling Billiken ears at the store might be a hit among the little kids, the ones that walk around with Mikey Mouse ears at Disney World.

All the best to you with Nvidia.

When your stock's prices are at the bottom they have only one way to go, up. When your stocks prices are at their highest levels they tend to go down. People should learn to apply this to their stock trading, Never buy a stock at very high price expecting someone else to buy it from you at an higher price than you paid. I suppose that is why the power schools do not want to schedule games against mid majors. A win for a power school playing against a mid major is expected. and has little effect. A loss against a mid major school can be very bad for a power school. Stock trading applied to basketball.

Correct.

There are ways to make lots of money, playing Power Ball or similar is not one of them. Buying a ticket is not the way to riches, although it does give you a legitimate chance to dream about winning lots of money.

I think we are in a good position at this time, we have a lot of really good players we can choose to fit specific needs. I like that Schertz is thinking he might field offensive and defensive teams, presumably with different players, during the coming season. The beauty of this approach is that he would have enormous flexibility choosing players, and not be fixed on playing a single team with 8 players or so. Consider such a team with separate offensive and defensive squads. The beauty of such an approach is that, depending upon who the opposing team is, you can play defensive squad players with the offensive team and vice-versa to meet specific needs presented by specific opposing team players. All very flexible for us and all very confusing for the opposing team. I think we could have a very good 2025-2026 season.

If it is just a meniscus, 6 weeks could be OK for the length of recovery before practice. A meniscus can crack due to injury but not need surgery if the pain is not severe, there is no significant swelling, and the knee does not lock. Most meniscus surgeries are done to remove pieces of meniscus that lock the knee or limit the range of motion. Meniscus are not totally removed most times because the result is a bone on bone articular contact which is not a good thing. Cases that require total removal of a meniscus are better off with a full knee replacement. Let's hope Dion will do just fine after the surgery and will be ready for the season.

Dion Brown was the guy that was walking around with a cast and crutches. Depending on the kind of surgical repair he had, something that has not been made public, it may be a bit early to return him to drilling status, even non contact drills. Does anyone know what kind of knee repair he had?

The Gordon story is a sad one. I hope he finds his way and moves forward, and if this book serves this purpose much the better.

I have been reading the posts and the question about what does it mean to be a fan got into my mind and made me think. I look at being a fan as something like being in love. You like and support somebody or some team, you really want the best for this person or team, and you are happy with the person and the teams' successes, their achievements, and their progress, and sad when things do not go well or when they have a major failure. The interesting thing in my mind about fans, which is also applies to loving someone, is that every single person is a bit different from every other person in the way they feel love or are fans. There is a lot of leeway in these kinds of attachments. So as long as you are a fan of the Bills you love the team in some way that is unique to yourself, other people also fans may have a different way of being fans or loving the team. Think of it.
