Microfracture surgery microcrap smurgery....

by Pinstripes Forever

Ok, I went to Google, I went to Wiki.  I read it all, but I still don't get it.  I don't remember players losing their whole career because of the lack of microfracture surgery.  I remember ACL, and even arthroscopic, being tough to rebound from back in the day.  Didn't players used to just play with bad cartilage?  I don't see football or baseball players getting this surgery.

Better to retire now and still be able to walk for the rest of your life, than to end up in a wheelchair because you pushed your body past it's breaking point.

Willis Reed can't walk straight but he is a legend. He says it's worth it.

I may have been worth it to him, but what about Jamal Mashburn and Terrell Brandon?

Just like Trent Green should retire now. I'm a Chiefs fan, as most of you know. And I am a Trent Green fan. He should retire. Right now.

I'm not in the business of telling another athlete when it's time to hang it up. That said, in Trent Green's situation I would think a physican would be comitting boarderline malpractice if he cleared Trent Green's body to take unnessecary phsyical contact.
