I certainly don't know it is the case -- but I do know that even Jerry believed he should have played -- and Jerry is pretty soft with the players.

Microfracture is nowhere near as risky as it was even 3 years ago - it is widely used with very high success rates (among elite athletes) -- actually the success rates have jumped because they are using it with healthy knees now. it used to be that they would use this as a last resort -- now they are using it all the time. Bierault and Thornton both had it this year -- BP believed they needed it.

Johnson and Burnett had lose cartilage -- microfracture is for regeneration of the cartilage -- totally different issues.

I tought Burnett tore his ACL. Is it torn or loose?

Actually if you listen to the PCs from around that time BP said several times that choices like that were up to the player and he'd never push an injured player to do one thing or another. Ross can still have the microfracture procedure. I really don't think that was his problem.

And Ross clearly wasn't trying to be a Parcells guy when he took forever to get back on the field after that minor surgery.

If you believe Parcell's, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you!!

Yeah, me either. That's why I remain curious.

but he got scoped earlier in the year I believe -- it is why he missed the first few games.

Then what could it hurt to send him to Europe ? Heck, if he does ok we could even use him as trade bait.

I doubt that would work. He'd probably injure his shoulder boarding the plane.

Or maybe hailing the cab, picking his nose, requesting the check or signaling a field goal!

Mickey said he thought they were so desperate they might give Rogers another shot on one of the shows that was posted on the official site.
