Ryan Callahan takes first step towards return

"Callahan experienced a shoulder subluxation, which means it comes out of its socket and goes back in, straining the muscles in the process."

So .... what's wrong with just saying, "His shoulder popped out"? Sheesh!!

They wanted to impress us with big words......probably took all morning for them to look it up.

10-14 days is a big chunk in this compressed season.....he will still have to be careful even when okayed to play.

Saying "popped out" will only get his half his fees LOL

So, why don't they use the word "proctologist" when referring to Three Fingers? Hmm?

I guess "subluxation" sounds gentler and less painful.

That would be a fist.

The next step will require Callahan to engage in contact

Okay, call me a pervert, but I couldn't help thinking 'engage in contact with who?'

Oh my.

Wow.....5 uninteresting threads. IMO.....

I do hope the best for Callahan, as he is, or at least seems like a hard worker...

Maybe that's what Torts is threatening people with in the photo. He's going to give them a prostrate exam with three fingers and they're going to be spread apart.
