Packers Offseason Junk Drawer

[MadScientist]

There was an article a while back where AP's doctor said how smooth his cartilage was compared to others he has operated on. It was also why his swelling went down faster so the surgery was done sooner after the injury than normal. Because of that he lost less muscle and his rehab went faster.

[rbaloha1]

Finally you admit that Plater knows more than you do about most if not all topics discussed on this board.

As for the general thread, I am encouraged that Sherrod could get some offseason work in. I would also love to be privy to Datko's progress this season and offseason. If he is developing as some think he could, and if Sherrod really is getting healthy, there'd be no reason to spend a top draft pick on a tackle.

I am of the early opinion that Worthy will be PUPped, then eventually put on the shelf for 2013. I was a little bummed at his lack of production last year, too. I didn't see much promise.

As for studying the pistol or the read option, that A & M connection is a bit odd. But I do wish PB and I had followed through on our idea of kidnapping Shawn Scrotum. It would have resulted in a better Packers' team, and assistant coaches visiting a much nicer place than Bryan, Texas, which is in the middle of nowhere, frankly.

Please sherlock -- keep your butt wiping comments to yourself.

Nothing was resolved from "webmd"

yea, jail is a good place for you.

It is tough to compare given the nature of the injury and the size of the individual.

This is not a black/white issue.

I have a difficult time understanding you. You make a "medical opinion post" such as that above; then, when anyone else does the same, even if they basically agree with you (which is what I did), you reply with snarky comments such as:

Sorry webmd.

Why is that???

Interesting story on why Adrian Peterson has such smooth cartilage...

[smuggler]

Well... The Greek was right, but don't let science get in the way of the POCOs and their bitching.

With that said, who cares what race is best at sports?

I felt kind of bad for the guy. He'd had a few drinks in him and he was feeling shwell as he was talking to the interviewer.

So he said what he had probably said dozens of times in private, betraying a simplistic, insensitive, but probably not completely incorrect point of view. I suppose saying what he said implied the black athlete has a natural advantage not connected to effort or intellect.

Wakes up the next morning and he's done. Done.

But if you say that Adrian Peterson has a natural advantage of physiology that allows him to heal more quickly than others you are on solid ground.

I get the difference even if Jimmy doesn't.

If you planned to use performance enhancers to heal quickly it would be wise to have a doctor's explanation. Used to always hear about how Lance Armstrong had an abnormally big heart....

Really? Did he give a lot of money to good causes?

Exactly who the fuck are you? But that I mean who do you think you are that you can call everyone out for having their own opinions? Are you trying to run people off or something? I really want to know. Feel free to PM it to me if you don't want to answer in public.

Yes. One Christmas, his small heart grew three sizes that day.

No.

At the risk of going way off topic: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...armstrong.html

It is amusing to look back at how people justified Lance's dominance now that we know some of the truth:

Armstrong clearly has some great genetic advantages.

His oversized heart can beat over 200 times a minute and thus pump an extraordinarily large volume of blood and oxygen to his legs. His VO2 max—the maximum amount of oxygen his lungs can take in, an important measurement for an endurance athlete—is extremely high.

But other elite athletes have similarly powerful hearts and lungs. Instead, Coyle says, smarter training may have contributed to giving Armstrong an edge over his competitors.

And

Early in his career Armstrong showed only average muscle efficiency—the percentage of chemical energy that the muscles are able to harness to produce power. Higher muscle efficiency means greater production of power.

From 1992 to 1999, the year of his first Tour de France win, Armstrong was able to increase his muscle efficiency by 8 percent through hard and dedicated training. Coyle says Armstrong is the only human who has been shown to change his muscle efficiency.

"It was believed that muscle efficiency is something you're born with, that you can't change," Coyle said. "But we've documented that Armstrong has indeed changed it while training intensely."

By making his muscles 8 percent more efficient, Coyle said, "Armstrong is 8 percent more powerful on the Tour de France"—enough to get his competitors off his wheel.

Lance apparently did something nobody else had ever done, something that conventional wisdom and science held to be extremely unlikely. I don't know that All Day used some smarter training and I'm not going to try to prove it (I can't), but in this day and age it would not be even a slight surprise to me if he did. More power to him.
