You're obviously not biased at all.
Edit: Oh, and I just spent 10 minutes searching google to find another athlete who has played their sport on a torn ACL for 10 straight months before single-handedly winning a championship on one leg and then having season-ending surgery.
Since there aren't many sports that have 10 months seasons... well. Let's just say there's not much to report.
Luckily for you, though, there are lots of stories of heroic single-game efforts that ended in blowout loses for the guy with the injury... so I guess you win.
