Around SBN: Why We're Skeptical Of LeBron James

Backup quarterback Billy Volek has been listed as probable, but after three straight days of practice, linebacker Shawne Merriman was back in a protective boot Saturday and is officially "doubtful" for the Chargers' regular-season opener Monday night at Kansas City.

What the hell kind of sense does that make?

Most things.

Except the Aztecs. They don’t suck yet.

At this point

I’m skeptical as to whether or not Merriman will ever actually play again. For us anyway.

He should have been placed on PUP

He’s wasting a roster spot with in roided achillies

IMO

His achillies has always been screwy.

A pretty classic trajectory ...

For an active person coming off steroid-abuse.

The juice was a factor
you can’t make those muscles bigger without also using your tendons and ligaments

Let’s consider vascular and avascular tissue aesimpleton. One of the reasons anabolic steroids work is that vascular tissue (like muscles) take up blood flow rebuild and grow stronger after strain or insult. You have no arteries and veins feeding your ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Basically you have what you were born with. No amount of PED is gonna strengthen a tendon, or mend a ligament.

And as the muscular system grows supernaturally as a result of steroid use (like the powerful Decadurabolin) the stronger muscles creates an imbalance for the tendons to withstand. If anything making those muscles bigger permanently strains and injures those tendons and ligaments.

We can’t prove either way that steroid use caused or did not cause Merriman’s joint injuries. It is really a question of how much. The PED’s made him stronger and faster, but how much? And with that extra strength, every joint in his body was destabilized, but how much?

Ya know while we are on the subject of PED abuse...

Did anyone catch the interview Stephen Cooper gave channel 8 last week? Dude’s grill looked like a picket fence!
