From my experience if it was ACL you would know it. You would have felt your knee go out of its socket when it happened (albeit briefly) and then the next day your knee would be extremely swollen and painful (not so much pain for me when it actually happened). My ACL injury didn't have any bruising. That bruising looks like a muscle issue to me and I've seen pulls/strains have that. When my hammy popped, it did not have the bruising though. Thanks for the advice, however, my whole leg is f'd. I never got my ACL repaired and I think it has directly resulted in the Hammy injury as well as some lower calf/achilles injury. Not getting the ACL fixed led to overcompensating for it, I believe. Can hardly even jog anymore because of the lower calf / achilles. Most of my exercise is restricted to the treadmill (walking), ellipticals, and bikes these days. And all of those are sooooo much more boring than sports.

Yes. And ugh. I pulled mine in like 2008. It was one of those where you could feel it "pop." It was the most painful injury I have ever suffered (short term), and that includes tearing my ACL. I could hardly bend it or walk for about a week, then slowly it came back. However, it is still to this day not right. I can still feel the spot where it happened in my leg. If I try to exert myself I have to be extremely careful not to do anything to it again. Often I can feel it getting tender and I have to stop an activity before I do something bad to it. Doesn't really affect light strain, but heavy strain is iffy. Lots of stretching before doing anything I know may be stressful on it. Quite frankly, it sucks and will continue to suck for the rest of my life. There is a reason you always see athletes re-injure their hammy's. Once you have a big one, the chances for re-injury is very high...and they are using the best doctors and PT people in the world. I would do a ton of stretching constantly. And then, when you think it doesn't hurt anymore do a ton of stretching for a few more weeks until you try getting back into things for real. It may feel healed, but that can change in an instant when you push it. Don't try to rush it, you will re-aggravate it. Hopefully yours wasn't as serious as mine my friend. I literally cannot sprint any longer without feeling something and stopping pretty quickly.

Best back to back songs on any album, any artist?
Mark80 replied to Chautauqua Mafia's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This is the king of all that is indie music. I know most will not approve, but whatever, it's tremendous. First listen - "What the f is this?" Second listen - "Ok, this isn't too bad" Third listen - "I love you Jeeeesssuuuuuuusssssss Chrrrriiiisssssttttttttt! Jesus Christ I love youuuuuuu yeeeesssssssss I doooooooooooooo!" Fantastic album...but I cannot stand "I Wanna Be Adored" Don't know what it is, but that song is torture for me. -
Can't imagine them going anywhere soon with that stadium just opening in 2012 ... especially since it was 80% funded by the public. Now the Rays, they always have an over-performing squad year after year with limited resources, no fans, and a horrible stadium. There is nothing keeping them there.

The medley starts with "You Never Give me Your Number" though, you left off like 5 songs! And these two to end Let it Bleed deserve recognition. -
Who's your favorite Bill on the current roster?
Mark80 replied to GreggTX's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is 2020. Run stopping MLBs are no longer the way to go. Fast, big wing span, sideline to sideline coverage LBs are what is needed in today's game. And he's still only 22, plenty of time to improve assignments in the run game, leverage, tackling and block shedding techniques. -

Tremaine - Smart, enormous, athletic freak..and something about a LB with a 40 something number appeals to me. I think he has all-pro potential in 2-3 years. -
Still Taking a Vacation this Summer?
Mark80 replied to Halloween Land's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I can understand booking a vacation for later this year or next, but people are willing to risk going on cruises already? Thats crazy to me. No possible way I would go on a cruise until this thing is pretty much completely over. One infected person on the ship and you're screwed. I'm not getting stuck in a cruise cabin for months. No way. -
This. The NFL doesn't give a crap about an online petition. They decision will be solely based on how they think they will be able to make the most money. And honestly, Madden is pretty damn good. There are tons of game play setting and sliders to adjust to make it simulation type football if thats what you want. People are just too lazy to mess with them. Stay off MUT and online head to head and just play with friends or online sim leagues. That's where it is at.

NY Daily News Jets game by game predictions
Mark80 replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why do we care about the Jets game by game predictions? I'm getting pretty tired of Jets focused posts on a Bills message board. Maybe its just me.- 43 replies

If you haven't tried the Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve, you should. It is similar to BCC but better IMO. I have both on hand. Similar price point. Haven't got into the Distillers addition yet. Probably will be saving for next winter as I typically don't drink too much peaty scotch outside the winter months.

I can definitely remember the announcers talking about how great his arm was at auburn and that he was a first round level talent. I could see the arm talent for sure, but outside of that i was never impressed with his accuracy and ability to make quick progressions and reads. Who knows thiugh, we’ll find out soon enough.

We all know its Barry. But I thought I'd bring the NBA crossover king into the discussion too, as its really a juke move while dribbling.

Opinions on a hypothetical trade
Mark80 replied to offsides#76FredSmerlas's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You clearly haven't seen John Brown's touchdown dance. -
I am of the belief that the market was too high before the outbreak. It should have been around 25k-27k DJI, not 30k. The market just needed an excuse to correct itself, and it did so with this virus. Luckily, I had a suspicion there was an inevitable drop coming so I had been saving cash instead of investing for over a year. I bought back in at 25k and then again at around 23. Didn't quite get bottom, but I was pretty pleased to get that cash in when I did. Unfortunately I had just put $6k in for my 2019 RIRA at around 29k or 30k DJI. Ooooffffff. I don't believe we will get back to 30k for at least another year. 35k next year seems aggressive to me.

No football til mid October??? -Carucci
Mark80 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So, March Madness, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, The Masters, the Indy 500, the Kentucky Derby is a slow time for sports? Yeah, OK then. On top of that, NFL players need extended recovery time in the off-season. Way more than any other sport. So you are going to have a Super Bowl in late spring early summer, and then start up another season in September. Yeah, no, I don't see that as a good thing.
