http://myachillesrupture.com - I've said it before and I will say it again.... I AM a Detroit Lions fan. Yes, it's true.....it is VERY true. ;) That's my team and I have incredibly high hopes for them in the 2011-2012 NFL season. My cast was even the color of Honolulu Blue. LOL!

We had a setback in training camp today. Our second round draft pick, Mikel LeShoure tore his Achilles Tendon and is out for the rest of the year. I have been watching this guy for the past few weeks and it's a shame that this is how he has to start his promising pro career. Obviously, the position of Running Back is dependent upon foot work, speed, strength and power. The fact that LeShoure is 21 years old is a major advantage in dealing with this injury. Being that the team has a vested interest in his return for next season, I expect he will get incredible care and rehabilitation. I'd love to interview him in a few months. Lions PR, are you listening? :) I'll be watching to see how his explosiveness compares upon his return. It should be interesting.  

Get well Mikel!! We need you, man!!
