Ravens lose Ar'Darius Washington for the season.

[wppete]

Thats awful. Hate hearing about injuries, especially offseason training injuries. 

[Donuts and Doritos]

That stinks. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

What the hell!  This is the Ravens.  I hate the MF Ravens about as much as any team in the NFL.  Can't stand John Harbaugh, and the entire organization.  I don't want bad stuff to happen to this individual player.  And I honestly have never heard of this kid Washington.  But any bad fortune on that team, is fine by me.  Can't stand their fans, the city or anything else associated with them.  (I did like three things about Baltimore.  And that was Cal Ripken Jr.  Earl Weaver and Bert Jones-who threw the best deep ball in the history of the modern NFL)  But as for this version of the Ravens.  Thumbs way down!!

Achilles injuries seem to have become the new ACL of the modern athlete. One could say they’ve become a veritable Achilles heel. 

WARNING! bRo ScIeNcE AHEAD:

 

Me thinks its PED's!

 

Scenario #1 Tendon connect muscle to the bone ---> Tendons are stronger than muscles (but less flexible than muscle)

Normal person, doing normal activities is more likely to tear their muscle, bc its the weakest link between muscle, tendon, and bone.

 

***An imperfect analogy I think of it as sort of like a car's transmission but between muscle/bone***

 

Scenario #2 Giant man, does crazy unnormal activity (ask Whaley) like run a 4.5 at 295lbs, and smash into others.

When muscle gets stronger than tendon (YAY 'chemistry' !) ---> Tendon is now the weakest link between: muscles, tendons,  and bones --> Tendon tears 1st

 

It seems like were seeing a chit' ton of these as of late.  We can blame it on football/sports.  We werent really designed to do this, and a good portion of these injuries are regular sports injuries. 

 

You start to see a trend where all the sudden, athletes in every sport are dropping like flies. In last 2 years we have 13 Achilles tears in NFL, to only 7 PED suspensions.  Thats without getting into any other tendon tears.... this gon keep happening as guys continue to push themselves past human capabilities, part of the deal 

 

NFL PED Suspensions:

2024 - total of 5 players popped

2023 - two

2022 - one

2021 - one (yipeeeeee look how clean the league is hahahaha)

 

ACHILLES TEARS:

2024 - 7 tears

2023 - 6 tears

2022- None

2021 - 1

2020 - 1

Could be all the box jumping trainers have people doing too.  

 

I think they could all stand to do some pilates and yoga.
