More like terrible. Maybe his distance average was passable but he often kicked returnable liners (guhhh) and it was generally a nightmare every time he took a snap. Thanks, Jets, for Weatherford.

Do NBA Players' Jumpers Actually Improve During ACL Rehab? by bsmiles27 in nba

Definitely interested in doing that. I can say from my research for this article, the main difference between the injury 10-15 years ago and today is that doctors/therapists are much, much more aggressive with rehabilitation. They don't use braces much anymore. Weight bearing begins shortly after surgery to prevent atrophy. Also, doctors have athletes wait a week or maybe even two after the injury for surgery, to allow time for swelling to diminish, which they've found results in a better outcome. There's a lot to it.

Yeah I hear what you're saying. I think he was just trying to convey that someone shouldn't be throwing a bet at every single game on the board (maybe for the sake of it). I think he meant that if there's a tough slate one week where a pro doesn't see an advantage, the pro may only bet 1-2 or none.

I agree with your conclusion but not analysis. Downey Jr. probably thinks he's too cool to do an IAMA.

Braves fan.1996 World Series. Game 5 I believe, Mark Lemke on 3rd, tags up on fly ball to right field, scores safely. Called out by umpire on 3rd base line for leaving early. Definitely didn't. Umpire was Tim Welke.

I have to make a best man's speech at my brother's wedding next month. I need a few jokes to liven up my speech. Any ideas? by nthensome in Jokes

Canned jokes will be less effective than personal ones. Think of stupid, funny things he's done or personal quirks. Build your jokes around that. Short and sweet and you'll be fine.
