Dakitch had Mort on his show today to expand on his report re Andrew. It was a very informative interview. I suggest everyone check it out on The Fan website.....Smitty posted a link the other day.....can't remember where.

I don't have time to do an in depth summary but it's clear he's getting his info directly from the Lucks and he has a clear grasp over what's happened and where things stand. One interesting nugget he thouroughly disputed those who are saying nobody has recovered from this tendon thing.....he said the procedure that's now being discussed is a common part of this type of injury and in fact it's usually done at the time of the actual labrum repair. As for athletes in the NFL who have had it he said that Drew Bree's shoulder injury was more severe and he had both the labrum and this tendon fix done at the same time and he's obviously come back as good as ever.....of course everyone's recovery is different. DD tried to box Mort into saying the Colts have somehow fucked this up medically but Mort vehemently disagreed saying the if you have to point the finger at anyone that it belongs with Andrew. Instead of going with the top shoulder guy used by the NFL (dr Anderson) he wanted to go with a surgeon at Stanford that he knew. Mort suggested that this guy is also a wold renowned surgeon but his specialty is hips not shoulders and perhaps took more conservative approach in repairing the labrum solely vs knocking out. The tendon at the same time. Mort said that Anderson ALWYS does both together. Anyway, it was Andrews decision (as it should be....it's his body). There's lots more there.....for those of you that feel you don't know as much as you should take a listen.
