A strained knee report gives a different perception than torn ACL. I hate the Sun as much as the next guy, and I do think there’s some validity to downplaying certain manageable injuries.

If Heap was so upset about how fans didn't know the extent of his injury and Ryan was willingly volunteering that he played an injured C-Mac, you mean tell me that the hacks at the Sun couldn't do a little digging to find this stuff out during the season. No, instead they took Billick at his word. Not exactly due diligence. Why didn't they talk to Jamal, or Todd or C-Mac, instead of taking Billick at his word.
