LOL at the Bears in Week 17

[Twigg4075]

Perhaps...personally my basketball career was basically cut short/ended because of ankle ligament sprain/tear issues so I became well acquainted with them...more than i would have liked to as a 17/18 year old.

I remember when I was around 15 or so I was playing hoops in the driveway with my cousin. I went up to block his shot and he pump faked the shit out of me. I cam down on the side of my left foot and heard a pop. I had sprained my ankle numerous time, mostly while playing b-ball, but had never felt this kind of pain before. It swelled to the size of a softball. My uncle took me to the ER and ultimately they told me it was a "really bad sprain". They may have elaborated but that's all I remember them saying. They also said if I had broken my ankle I actually would've been in better shape. I'm guessing that I had actually torn ligaments in my ankle at that time but it was actually still considered a really bad sprain.

As for the OT, yes, the Bears are morons. Sprain, tear, whatever, playing their starters in a total meaningless game is beyond stupid. They had nothing to gain and actually had more to lose, like you pointed out with the draft pick, if they won. Didn't they learn anything from Adrian Petersons' injury?


At least on the bright I said I saw on Twitter they fired Angelo today.

I'm guessing that I had actually torn ligaments in my knee at that time but it was actually still considered a really bad sprain.

I had sprained them so badly junior year and freshman year that I almost puked.

The last time I fucked my ankle up my senior season the PT told me that the good news was that my ankles were pretty much all scar tissue at this point so I wasn't really doing any damage to the ligaments anymore. Just re-spraining/re-tearing scar tissue.
FML.

Especially with Urlacher being beat up all week and not practicing really.

Maybe play him for a bit then take him out if anything.

One could argue that they should have been looking at younger players with this game but with Angelo's shity drafts there are no younger players to take a look at as the team has no depth.
