Alex C:
His injury was pretty damn serious too-- Tommy John surgery isn't common in football at all. Pitchers have given people the impression that guys come back from the surgery all the time, but it's really a shit terrible comparison. Baseball is a marathon season, after all, and between the minors and starting rotation you can hide a lot of struggles. An aging starting QB, on the other hand, just gets thrown to the wolves.

Until the Melbourne Rebels show up, at least

Inlander:
No way, Western Force is much worse! For starters, where are they from? The West? The West of where? Secondly - force? What's that? Force of nature? Is that something they have a lot of in the West? Do people often go to the West and say "Look! A force!"?

I mean Melbourne Rebels is a pretty generic name (supposedly it ties into the whole bushranger thing that was a big deal in Victoria in the 19th century, blah blah blah) but at least it's not just some random assembly of vague descriptors.

David_Dovey:
The West of Australia and you are really stretching here, Harry.
