30 yrs old. He worked out and was an athlete. Blew out his knee playing basketball. Had knee surgery Thurs....died Mon. Knee was so bad.....was confined to bed rest. Threw a clot. A real tragedy. Who knew you could die from knee surgery??

Not sure if the post op advice was appropriate. ( I would never have surgery in this [small] town).

Maybe this will help someone out there ask some questions they had not thought of before if in a similar situation. I know I will be a smarter patient. But so terrible for this guy, his family and friends. He was a good person and a great person to work with.

Poor guy.

Not the best story to read right now for me. Mom is about to have her right knee replaced, nothing went wrong on her left knee or her hip, but anything can happen.

Reminds me of Chris Candido. Wrestler who broke his leg on a PPV (saw it live, gross as hell) then died of a blood clot within a couple days.

Wow.

Just had a friend get both knees operated on a few weeks of each other. I never realized how dangerous those procedures can be.

shitty...for sure. all need to be a little thankful and appreciative of life...it can be snuffed so quickly

True for sure. It has been tough lately where I work. Three weeks ago, a wonderful 41 yr old woman found out she had a malignant brain tumor which is very aggressive. She has been given 12-14 mths to live. One of our training coordinators just had a double mastectomy with a poor prognosis. Another administrative person is having a double mastectomy next week. We lost a beloved department head in Nov. Another department head lost their partner 2 weeks ago. Life suddenly feels like a minefield.

I hope I am taking less for granted....and appreciating people more.

      How we weren't willing to roll the dice on Wilson but were on Brooks remains a mystery.

      ProFootballFocus: NFL Week 16: Rookie Team of the Week

      Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
