Aaron Rodgers injury update: MRI reveals Jets QB suffered a complete tear of Achilles tendon, per report
  • Yeah I have never liked it. When I've played on football field turf, it almost feels like a basketball court. It's very hard, and the traction is so much higher.

    I was a HS lineman, and I didn't even use cleats on turf. I couldn't afford the additional cleats that work on turf, so when we played on turf I just used sneakers and never had traction issues even in the rain!

  • Yeah basically. Watch the video of Rodgers Achilles snapping, if you can stomach it. Now imagine that same play on a natural field.

    There would be A LOT more give into the ground, and more often the grass sliding and giving way, which could take a lot of force away from that tendon.

    Instead, his foot could not move or find a better position so that his own body could distribute the force, and the ground never gave any leeway, so all the force of him running, trying to break a tackle and a 300+lb elite athlete tackling him was transferred into his static Achilles tendon.

    This could have been a sprained ankle, or maybe nothing on a grass field.

  • Can we just stop with the turf? I know that this was newer turf, but you can't help attribute part of this injury to it. Higher injury rates on turf, any one that has played on it can tell you the traction is dramatically different and our bodies can't handle it

  • [ESPN] Aaron Rodgers to miss remainder of season with torn Achilles Tendon
  • Man this sucks. It sucked to watch. Really sucked the wind out of my sails, and I won my match because of it.

    I'm no Rodgers fan, but he is an all-time great, and the Jets looked to be poised to take a run at the super bowl. It's sad for the game when something like this happens.

    Got some free clubs and have a lesson Monday. Any tips for a beginner?
  • First off, don't replace your clubs yet. You might think about regripping them, if needed. Whatever your problems are, they aren't due to any of your gear.get on Facebook market place or eBay and fill your clubs in with used clubs. Goodwill and flea markets are also good options. Go to your lessons and practice the drills and play some games with friends.

    Golf can be very expensive. Don't spend money now on clubs that you will just be slamming into the ground anyway, and they won't suit you once you get better any way.

    Don't get frustrated, literally almost every golfer sucks really bad. Like 0.5% of all golfers don't suck, and they still suck sometimes. This game is brutally difficult, enjoy your surroundings and your friends. Try to have fun.

  • In Tuesday's special election, Ohioans overwhelmingly voted against requiring a supermajority to amend their state constitution
  • The people of Ohio are generally very centrist to left leaning. We however have been so (illegally) gerrymandered that it certainly doesn't appear that way. Rural Ohio is Conservative just like everywhere else in this country.

    When decisions are made democratically, as this was, we usually make the correct decision. That's why the right tried to take this away from us.
