I was talking about (1) the story in post #1 and (2) McCarthy's comments earlier this past week about his rosy injury "speculations" in the past. I think at the time Sherrod was hurt he was passing Newhouse...nice strides were being made.  Any contemplation of Bulaga at LT implies skepticism regading Sherrod's recovery.  There's no other way to interpret the matter. However, I've been skeptical since the day he was hurt that he'd be able to recover to "dancing bear" status. When a guy snaps his leg at a 45 degree angle between the knee and ankle, you probably don't want to bank on a full recovery. If it happens, it should be regarded as a pleasant surprise. Fans tend to view players like their car...something breaks down, you just send it to the shop and get the parts replaced according to some predefined schedule. It's easy to remember the guys who make full recoveries from serious injury (Purple Jesus); it's a lot harder to remember the many more who quietly wash out of the league.</blockquote>
