It sounds like you had a more severe tear than most others. I'm convinced that mine was an old injury too. The MCL sprain made it act up and neither would heal properly on their own. The PT doc was very surprised when it was diagnosed because nothing during therapy screamed meniscus.

I had a sprain and torn meniscus that I played (hockey) through for maybe a month when I was 29. It wasn't getting any better so I caved and had it checked out and diagnosed. It's really going to depend on the severity. I wound up doing PT for a while, which wasn't helping, and eventually got scoped. I'm sure age played a major role, but recovery was pretty fast after that. I wish I could remember some of those PT exercises. The damn thing has been bugging me since the fall when I tweaked it doing some yard work. 12 years later the damn thing can still act up at random moments even before the recent tweak.

The pop culture references are the only thing that is dated about the show. That is unavoidable. And I'm not sure if pop culture is even the right word. Sure, there's things like Bette Midler or referencing JFK, but then there's also Susan's father having an affair with John Cheever.

But hey, I bet they offered you all the premium movie channels for free for 3 months. That more than makes up for endless months at the significantly higher price.

The sad part is that I've seen plenty of people try this.

I wonder if the kid is old enough for assault charges.

I would have given Ackbar that sacrifice. But yeah, it needed to be someone established, not a brand new character who had maybe 15 minutes of screen time. Messing with John Williams music... what could possibly go wrong?🙄

Sorry, I'm late on this one. As the rule is written, it doesn't matter that the ball was in the penalty area. I don't know the area in question, but if the players thought it was possible that the ball could be lost but still in the non-penalty area, the provisional is allowed. I'm picturing a scenario where you're not sure whether or not the ball actually made it into the pond, you're allowed to hit the provisional as long as you announce it. That q-school story though, that sounds like a major screw job. Even if they all saw the splash, I think you could still put up a reasonable argument that it's possible the ball skipped or ricocheted off a rock back beyond the stakes.

I would have liked to see how things would have played out if all three movies were designed with the same vision in mind. Johnson's movie may have worked without the Star Wars label, but you can't just try to reinvent everything 40 years after the fact right in the middle of a planned 3 part story. Instead we were left with him tearing up everything Abrams started and then Abrams picked right back up as if that never happened. Me personally, I had no issue with the repetitive nature of that first movie. It was fun. They just dropped the ball big time following that up.

I know it's a big thing in comic books, but I really wish they hadn't gone with this kid teams approach for the movies. It worked with Spiderman mostly because that's an iconic character, but also because he was the only "kid" superhero at that point. Now every single movie seems to have one. If they're going to have a bunch of kids fighting Kang in their next Avengers movie, it's going to suck. Guardians next month is probably the last hope for a while for a movie that isn't packed full of superhero kids.

Over the last month or two they've been massacred twice by Philly and once by Columbus. Hmmmm, where would those 6 points put them in the standings?

The worst spot of all in that scenario is the car immediately behind that one in the left lane.

Have a little fun and see if your school has a wikipedia page. Mine has a notable alumni section and two people very clearly edited the page to list themselves. It's hilarious.

It doesn't matter whether or not he plays. The team can (and will) agree to having the first year of the ELC burn.

I don't think he put anything extra up there, but I'll have to take a closer look.

I have a neighbor who removed the circular dish part but left the arm that holds it. I'm not sure why they did it since it's a really odd thing to see up there.

So basically their offer to keep you is "here, spend a little more with us"? I'm in the process of switching over to youtubetv right now. The wife wants to burn through some stuff she has DVRed before I make the call to DirecTV. I'm pretty sure I can just get all of the stuff she has recorded through the network websites though.

It's scaled back a bit, but isn't he in the middle of that breakout already? Just like Thompson he's already topped his career highs.

I'd run with this list. And I quickly realize that there's only one lead singer left among the group.

I miss the days where multiple cable boxes in the house all used the same exact remote. There were so many pranks. I feel like we were also able to change our neighbor's tv through the window, but I may be making that one up.

Right, they weren't looking for a new identity, it was an ego stroke for the new owner.

I'm sure it already exists, but the cell phone seems like the most obvious thing to replace the remote. You already have it in your hand anyway. The only potential issue is when more than one person has control of the tv, marriages will end.

The Boys definitely went way over the top this season. It was always pretty gruesome in the first two season, but it at least felt like it fit in with the story and the show. This season, they were clearly doing things just to see if they could get away with them.

I thought I had heard them say recently that he actually uses a much shorter stick than you'd expect. I want to say it was Tuch who actually has the longest stick on the team. But rebound that land directly behind you in the crease cannot happen. If you were to ask UPL, I'm sure he was kicking himself over that one. A goalie needs to direct those rebounds to spots where the team can clean them up. That one was probably the worst possible option. He's improved damn near miraculously in the past month, but that one makes me worry a bit.

That Dowd goal was completely on UPL, horrible rebound control on a low angle shot. I'm not there on him yet, but he's certainly cut back on those types of garbage goals. There's definitely potential now to move forward beyond this year.
