Giants D played great, but they had chances to be even better on some deflected passes. Loss is mostly on offense. Packers defense is very good but their offense also seems suspect.

Can Crosby punt?


Blew my mind when I learned that the ACL surgery of choice is still a ligament replacement. (this may not be the right terminology, I am not a doctor) Can't imagine that being the case for much longer.

Wait why? They use part of the hamstring now rather than patella tendon.

Healing > replacing. Probably obvious, I just had been completely ignorant of the way it worked. (am now only mostly ignorant)

This article is a pretty good synopsis:

Not sure how long that'll take to trickle into professional sports. I'd guess sooner rather than later, athletes will try all sorts of weird shit when they think it helps.
