Shawne Merriman and Modern Medicine Don’t Mix

What the heck would you do if you had torn ligaments in your knee? Construct a grappling device to substitute for light walking? Confine yourself to a motorized scooter? Change your X-Box gamer tag to WalkItOut7463?

Chances are, you’d probably do anything but put the injury at risk for further damage, which is exactly what PG County native and regular Bama of the Week candidate Shawne Merriman is doing with intentions to play with torn ligaments in his left knee.

Merriman plays a position for the San Diego Chargers that requires regular lateral movement, explosive lunges, and sprinting, all of which will probably hurt slightly more than walking to the refrigerator or excessive masturbation, which is what most normal men with the same injury would have to amend due to the likely excruciating pain.

But, I’m sure Chargers doctors have assured Merriman that his knee aches aren’t anything a little cortizone laced with mambo sauce can’t cure. Here’s hoping that Merriman’s sack dance doesn’t evolve into a permanent life on crutches, highlighted by excessive masturbation.

Steroids are a helluva drug.
