Big Ben with separated shoulder

Losing at New England. Cool.

I've got to say I'm pretty worried about this post. As confident as you are, you must have some sort of insider info that the Patriots found some new way to cheat.

So, basically, the shoulder is not "separated", as it would make Ben the first player in the history of football to play the first week back from a "separated" shoulder.

Dude, let it go. You're not a medical professional, and diagnoses are not black and white.

Wrong. I've had kids in high school who came back the next week. In milder cases, it comes partially out and goes right back in, leaving stretched painful ligaments, but young bodies often heal quickly. The problem is that those stretched ligaments can make the player prone to having it happen again. For non-QBs, it can be wrapped to help, but not for a QB's throwing shoulder.

Those two teams really go after each other.....hard. The last regular season game between them was getting ugly. James Harrison took a dirty low run at McCarron's knee, but played it off as if he was blocked into him. Replay showed no block. Both those teams seem like they want to legitimately hurt the opposing players. I love it. Old time football.
