Two from previous discussions, off the top of my head:

Hines Ward had only one

Really? I dont have alot of free time anymore so I dont frequent the site as often. Sean and Hines with only 1 wow so it can be done..
Ward and Elliott both had unrepaired ACL tears. The stories going around that they didn't have ACLs at all is a myth.

Do you know what happens when you don't sew together the torn ends? The same thing that happens to people like Blair who DO have them sewn together.
Elliot

A damaged ACL doesn't have to be fixed—players are now competing successfully in the NBA with damaged ACLs. Anthony Daly, the Clippers' team physician, says, "You can lead a normal life without an ACL, but you can't play a cutting sport like basketball." San Antonio Spur forward Sean Elliott tore part of his ACL when he was only 14. Surgical reconstruction wasn't done at the time because it would have interfered with the growth of the bones in his knee. He still has more play in his knee than normal, but why correct that and take away a year of his promising career when he performs as well as he does?
So Blair's ACLs are actually unrepaired?
Nice to see another 'skins fan on the board.
From what I've read, it seems Blair had this procedure done:

I still don't get exactly what has happened to his knees. The reports so far are generally non-medical, but it seems that maybe his body rejected the foreign tissue.Doctors have tried many other ACL-reconstruction techniques. In one the damaged ACL is replaced by a ligament or tendon from a cadaver. The risks are that the body will reject the foreign tissue or that the transplant could transmit an infection from the dead donor to the living recipient.
the Stealers regardless of Hines Ward's ACLs.
I think the way they explained it was that they were repaired, but when scar tissue formed at the repair site, the body absorbed it.
Ahhh okay.
That's the part I didn't understand when that report came out... does "the body absorbed it" mean the body absorbed the scar tissue, or the entire cadaver ligament?
Who the cares? How many times does this have to be rehashed?
You're not interested at all in finding out what caused Blair to drop to #37?
