Freeman is 16 for 46. Wow.
He is throwing the ball every where except where the receiver is.

To be fair to Freeman, that was simply not even right putting him out there. He just looked clueless and out of sync with his wr's. I blame that on the coach more than Freeman. They should have put Ponder in as Gruden pointed out.

Scary. Scarier is mom who claims he is a victim.

From the video it seemed he was but not sure wht happened prior to the girls attacking him as he was trying to leave.

Y the hell is 2CHAINZ on ESPN FIRST TAKE? Lmao

^great post on the ACLs. I don't remember people tearing their ACLs so much in the 1970s-80s and early 90's. Wonder why it's like that now.

Athletes are muscularly bigger, stronger and faster while the ligaments are the same size. Basically the torque and other biomechanic activities of athletes are too much for the smaller components of our body that we can't strengthen.

Ligaments do strenghten as a person works out.

I'd be interested to see a comparison of ACL injuries today vs 20-30 years ago. Does it really happen more often or is it a case of people having short memories.

Remember back in the day astroturf caused a lot of knee injuries. Anyone else remember when a receiver for the Bears blew out both his knees on one play in Philly?

Terry Allen had multiple ACL tears, Gayle Sayers career was cut short because of knee injuries, etc.
