A funny thing happened on the way to the comments section of the Panthers vs. Falcons preview today

So I rolled out of bed around noon because it's Saturday, meandered downstairs, pet the cat, threw a plate of leftover london broil and garlic mashed potatoes in the microwave, mixed up some Lipton lemon iced tea, and kicked back to check on Panthers news. Same stuff on the Huddle really, SCP making funny jokes about Fua and Nakamura, another Bill Cowher thread, Stirs blindly calling people/inanimate objects "libs" in the Tinderbox. Par for the course.

Then I bounce on over to NFL.com. Turns out Javon Belcher was caught asleep at the wheel of his Bentley the night before his murder/suicide. Weird huh? I thought so. Anyway I clicked on an article about Wes Welker on the verge of catching 100 balls on the season for the fifth time in his career. Amazing what a general manager recognizing the value of the slot receiver can do for you. Hopefully we'll get someone like that. Anyway that's not what this is about. I clicked on the "Panthers versus Falcons" matchup at the top of the screen. Falcons predicted to win of course.

On a whim I scroll down to the bottom of the page and start reading the comments from comatose Falcons fans typing with their elbows about how the Panth-

wait what? what's that?

I'll refrain from a personal insult, but isn't that the guy who used to post borderline CP on here?

He's never not posted here. He's always had a user name. Before Slenderman it was Super_freak or whatever. He's had about a blue million user names.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
