We lost 11 seconds at the line of scrimmage trying to get our next play off before the ref stopped it again for the review. It seems to me that refs this year are really starting the clock very quickly after first downs. I've noticed several times that the chains are not even reset and the clock gets rolling again.

Given that it wasn't, I think it was correct to not change the clock.  Once they did restart the clock it probably did cost us an additional 3-4 seconds as we didn't snap the ball right away.
44 weeks 23 hours ago	Generally speaking, yes. The	Generally speaking, yes. The ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is often times partially torn for a time and may or may not be completely torn at the time of reconstruction. it is typically a pain and loss of velocity issue, as opposed to gross instability, that leads to surgery, and this process can occur over time or sometimes acutely. While there are partial ACL tears that do not destabilize the knee and do not require surgery, the vast majority of ACL injuries result in a complete or high grade partial tear of the ligament that renders the knee unstable and in need of reconstruction. ACL injuries are acute. They are really two very different problems.

44 weeks 1 day ago	I don't agree with that.	I don't agree with that. There is no literature to suggest that an ACL reconstructed knee is necessarily stronger or better than pre injury. While the transplanted patellar tendon or hamstring tendons are both stronger than the native ACL at the time of surgery, they undergo significant remodeling and revascularization which significantly diminishes their strength and stiffness at least early on, if not always. This is not to say that ACL reconstruction is not effective; clearly many if not most recover. Not all are able to return to 100% pre injury status however.
44 weeks 3 days ago	Orthopaedist here. Pure	Orthopaedist here. Pure speculation, but a 2 week prognosis would imply cleaning up a small flap of cartilage or small flap tear of the meniscus that was removed (as opposed to repaired or stitched). With a first rate staff of docs and trainers like M has and a high level athlete, 2 weeks is possible but that is not typical for the average weekend warrrior.  Once again; speculation - I know nothing at all of what Roundtree had done.
