Looks like Gronk had his surgery, and it was done by Dr. George Theodore, he is making quite a name for himself with the pro athletes.

I remember all of the heat that Scott Stevens took, for demolishing Eric Lindros with a clean body check in the Stanley Cup playoffs about 10 years or so ago. Lindros had a history of concussions, and some felt that it was somehow "wrong" for Stevens to lay him out, when Lindros was trying to split two defenders and walk in on Brodeur. That check basically ended Lindros' career.
My feeling is, you are a professional athlete. If you step onto the field, or the ice, with an injury, you don't get any special consideration from the opponent. This is especially true in the post-season.
Buddy Ryan used to put bounties on opponents, after all. If one of his guys took out one of the opponents with a bounty on his head, they got rewarded.

So Mike.
Early in his career you were very critical of Eli and I'm sure if I looked lar enough back I could find an old post of you quoting that the Giants will never win anything with Eli.
You coming around now ?
