This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I was happy for Morris. Coming back from two ... by Rocksteady74

... ruptured ACLs is tough. After Washington State Gatorade player of the year in high school (his junior year, he played for the Sounders reserves his senior year), NCAA champ and Herman trophy in college at Stanford, MLS rookie of the year, comeback player of the year, and player of the year, and numerous USMNT caps, it would be a shame if he doesn't make the WC roster. I'm not saying he should start, but I think he is a good weapon to have in the arsenal. And this will be his only shot, because he will be above 30 next cycle and the US has many good young players coming up.

I also suspect that his body may not hold up. It must be tough to do this as a diabetic. I remember when he was a kid and his dad would pop M&Ms in Jordan's mouth when he needed a lift during a game. Now he wears an Insulin pump.
