Ankle injuries suck.

My ankles swelled from August to about Christmas. By my sophomore year in college, after years of football and a year of rugby, I realized that this was not going to feel good when I was in my 60’s. I stopped doing it to myself.

I’ve seen a few of these fractures. I hope he has plans for after football. He will be needing them.

His brother killed himself a few months back. He’s had a devastating year.

FRISCO, Texas — Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has never taken a knee during the national anthem.

No Cowboys player has in the four years since Colin Kaepernick sparked a wave of players protesting racial injustice and police brutality on NFL sidelines before kickoff.

Sports are now politics.

And with all the money these players are making; all the money being bet on the games...is it possible that many contests aren’t even being fairly played? Kicker misses an easy FG to change the spread....millionaires instantly created? Manufactured outcomes?

They WERE huge. I know you were joking, but in all seriousness, they were swollen, bruised, and they hurt like hell.

Football and rugby were fun. But to the degree you are going to be crippled? No thanks.

I had heart surgery back in April, Quad Bypass, and they took sections of vein grafts from my RIGHT leg at different places.
My LEFT leg was swollen from a blood clot.

I have to wear compression leggings or my ankles swell up like balloons, still!.....................

The Cowboys are in good shape at QB with long-time NFL starter Andy Dalton. Let’s hope he can get through the season unscathed. He has, after all, a lot of experience dodging defenders as his offensive line for years in Cincinnati demonstrated.

Ankle injury, huh. I guess that will make it pretty hard to kneel for the National Anthem going forward. This police-supporting American is really having a hard time feeling sorry for him, and wouldn’t honestly mind seeing a few more of these overpaid commie lovers join him in the emergency room.

No? They just lock arms in solidarity for the BLM movement. Same thing. I don’t care.

The foot was pointed 90 degrees away from the leg. Very bad.

Every one of the Cowboys kneeled at the Cardinals game two years ago. Including Dak and the GM Jerry Jones.
