NFL Pick'Em Game is set

Jeff was Bode Miller before Bode Miller was Bode Miller...

Heh heh. nahh, I waited until the ex-olympians & pros rolled out of their wheelchairs, guzzled their Gatorade & Geratol blend, and jumped on the slopes.

And even then they are friggin' nuts. I could place in the top 3 of my age class; but if I was racing in the 45-49 year age class [where they all were] I'd be lucky to place top 10.

One guy was a riot; he's now a coach at Killington. He'd go all out on the slopes, spend the afternoon digging his fingernails into the mahogany while standing at the bar, and have his girlfriend drive him home because he his back was so shot that he had to lay down for the ride rather then be able to sit.

I seriously believe he's going to be poured out of a wheelchair and onto the ski slope; and still be able to break 60 seconds on a 50 gate slalom. friggin' nuts they are.

Ah ..... knee injuries. Suck big time they do but repair technology has improved tremendously in recent years. When i popped an ACL 20+ years ago, options were limited and the prognosis for getting anywhere near 100% was not good at all. We're talking number like a 50% chance at a 50% recovery .... not good.

Yes, it's changed -dramatically-. Even in recent years it's changed. Heather [chickdiver] had ACL reconstruction about 4 years ago or so. She has a scar that's about 1 1/2 inches long. Mine has only been 2 1/2 years, and you can hardly see the 1/2 inch scar anymore. I ruptured both my MCL and ACL and did damage to my LCL also... that picture above was 9 months post-op.

Good going, Kayla! Now, everyone else needs to remember to get theirs in, as well. And that includes this certain scuba-diving Texan....
