I can somewhat related to this. I would take around 1000 milligrams of ibuprofen before every soccer game in high school Junior and senior year just so I could play through the knee pain I had. Just wasn't getting it injected.? It's really not that uncommon.
My guess would be is that Sanford is here 2, maybe 3 years tops. Helps groom Simon some more on top of what KC has done. Once he leaves for another HC position, Simon is named the sole OC. Interested to see what happens to Patterson in the coming months/years here.
