Harrisson to have Microfracture Surgery officially announced today by his agent

[pslholder96]

You do this kind of thing all the time dude.

Personally, from reading that, I'm not sure I buy it. If his knee was THAT bad, he wouldn't be walking period, let alone playing. And, they don't do knee replacements on guys that young, which is why Mike McCrary is hobbling around on two wrecked knees waiting to be old enough for the docs to replace them.

The OP has history of posting stuff without a link. He takes the time to read but doesn't take the time to post the link on what he's reading.

I don't like speaking too soon on things, but I honestly see the Steelers really having a down year, like a 9-7/8-8 type season, and perhaps missing out on a wild card berth. This is a big blow, and the Steelers defense has not looked the same, I usually am a somewhat defender of the Steelers in terms of how good they are, but with what I've seen of them so far, it's going to be between us and the Bengals for the division title this year. I actually kind of had a feeling that the Steelers were going to win the division back this year, but from what I've seen, I think it's the Ravens who have to be the favourites right now with their offensive performances, and our chances could have a major uplift if Suggs comes back healthy after week 6, which right now seems more likely than we originally thought.

I think 9 or 10 wins takes the division this year. I had the same line of thinking that the Steelers would win the division. I thought the Ravens Oline would not be good leading to an offense that struggled. The schedule for the Ravens is brutal. I though the Steelers were in a good position to make a run at the title as their schedule was little bit easier. It looks as though Cincy has gotten a little bit weaker as well. Their defense is not playing as well as last year.

Really? Given how teams have played these first 3 weeks, I only see 3 games that we can pencil in as losses: @Houston, @San Diego, and Vs. Giants @ home.

They don't like doing replacement but will if needed. I was told the same by the Doctors at Union Memorial but after a scope, half replacement they finally did the full replacement. Replacements usually last 10 years so that's why they don't like giving younger people replacement. If Mac really want it replaced I am sure they would do it. I literally had to beg for it

The surgery post is clearly just a bit of black humor from a frustrated fan. The story in the paper today in Pittsburgh just says he tried practicing this week after rehabbing from his mid-August surgery, and he had a setback that will prevent him from being ready in Week 5. But no mention of more surgery.

Guys, there is no way that the post describing all that surgery is accurate, it is a sarcastic attempt at humor I'm sure. The guy will eventually need work done I'm sure, but a partial or full replacement is years away for him if at all. Much ado about nothing.

At 34 its about walking after football.....

while thats true, theyd like you to be 55-60 for knee replacement, its not the same for millionaires. The reasoning is they dont want you to have to do it again, not an issue with the rich. Knee replacement sounds scary but at my rehab ive met quite a few elderly that had it done and were walking around not long after. Realy removes the pain and at that age its not like youre fast moving anyway. Id assume hes done after knee replacement though. Big difference between 60 and 35 as far as activity level.

hurting but no surgery scheduled.

"The hope that the five-time Pro Bowl linebacker expressed about the condition of his left knee after practicing Tuesday, turned to disappointment Wednesday when he left the Steelers training facility before practice because his knee bothered him.
"It's a little bit of a setback," said agent Bill Parise, who spoke with Harrison after he went home. "Hopefully, it's not something that will derail our plans."
The knee's adverse reaction to his second full practice of the year does not bode well."

Can we just ban the OP from starting posts? Then we could all.save oyrself some trouble and wasted time.

He clearly has a reading comprehension problem, refuses to post links (mainly because said links never exist) and repeatedly starts threads about untrue nonsense.

This us like the 20th time, not the first. Or second.or third.

Then again there's always Syd Thrift:

Thirft died September 18, 2006 at Milford Memorial Hospital in Milford, Delaware at age 77 following apparent complications from knee replacement surgery earlier that day.

Talk about "really removing the pain"--permanently....

Trashed until there are more facts.

Shame on you OP (again)
