Want an example of a tough name to live with? Two words. Dick Butkis.

Want an example of a bad coach? Two words... Mike Ditka.

3 of the darkest years in a franchise with a dark, dark history, were authored by that man. Nice guy, horrible coach.

h9 the Eagles and T.O. but thought I would share this.. he had his surgery at Mercy (my employer) with a surgeon that I work with on a regular basis.



Heartiest congratulations to Dr. Mark Myerson, medical director of The Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy, for performing reconstructive ankle surgery on the NFL Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver Terrell Owens this morning at Mercy. Shortly after surgery, Dr. Myerson led a noon news conference with national and local media in the Weinberg Center explaining the details of Mr. Owens' successful surgical procedure.

Dr. Mark Myerson led the press conference and made a powerpoint presentation, first noting that the surgery was a technical success and that Mr. Owens would be monitored over the next two months. He further explained the extent of the injury to the tear of the syndesmosis ligament, the insertion of plate and screws for stabilization, and estimating a 8-12 week timeframe for the patient's return to athletic activity.

Information about the nature of this procedure may now be found on the website of the Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction http://www.drmyerson.com or http://footandankle.mdmercy.com Efforts are being made to determine if video from the press conference can be posted on the Mercy http://www.mdmercy.com website.
