Yankees closer Mariano Rivera tore his ACL knee ligament back in early May. He's hoping for a return to action in September. That's five months (and I'm being generous because it's more like four) after an injury that used to automatically keep you away for one full year at the minimum. I don't know of any new techniques that cut the rehab down so much. It's something I've been detecting among ACL injuries.
I don't get it.

Just a couple of games into the pre-Olympic session and people are wondering if there's concern with USA basketball after "just" an 11 point win over a very, very good Brazil team.
Slow. News. Day.
USA is far and beyond, up and above any other team - and there are some excellent teams of solid quality. Basketball is simply not like hockey or soccer or even baseball where several nations are capable of winning a tournament. In basketball, there's USA and everybody else. The gap may have narrowed since the 1992 Dream Team but not that much.
The Americans will bull doze the competition.
Speaking of the Dream Team. No Kobe, USA 2012 is not as good as the Dream Team and I doubt you actually believe that.
Jordan, Bird, Johnson, Ewing, Robinson, Drexler, Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Mullins even Laettner.
Come on.
