    I was watching and there was nothing violent in his movement or any special activity. It was extremely weird and sad to watch.

    It would be great to know what causes this.

    I would blame his fitness team. This is poor conditioning in my
    opinion.


    How poor conditioning factors in
    For professional athletes, "poor conditioning" doesn't mean they
    are out of shape. Instead, it refers to specific deficits in
    their intense and specialized training regimens that make the
    Achilles vulnerable.
    Imbalance of training: In the world of elite sports, an athlete
    may be highly conditioned in their sport's primary movements but
    have weaker supporting muscle groups. This places
    disproportionate stress on the Achilles tendon, which connects
    the powerful calf muscles to the heel.
    Insufficient rest: Fatigue is a major risk factor for an Achilles
    tear. In the professional sports world, demanding game schedules,
    playoff runs, and year-round training often mean inadequate rest
    and recovery time. This chronic overuse can cause microtrauma to
    the tendon and weaken it over time.
    Acute stress on an unprepared tendon: Players returning to
    strenuous activity after a breakudue to injury, a layoff, or an
    offseasonuare at a higher risk of rupturing the tendon. This
    happens when they put intense, forceful strain on a tendon that
    is not yet ready for that level of load. The tendon may be
    physically "fit," but it is not properly conditioned for the
    immediate stress.
    Weakness from previous injury: A previous lower-extremity injury,
    particularly a calf strain, is a risk factor. If the muscles
    don't fully recover and regain strength, the weakened leg can't
    handle high-end stress as well, making the entire
    musculotendinous unit more vulnerable.
    The primary causes for all athletes
    Sudden stress: The most common trigger for a rupture is a sudden,
    forceful movement, such as an explosive acceleration, sudden
    stop, or pivot. These movements are common in sports like
    basketball, football, and tennis.
    Natural tendon degeneration: Over time, tendons can experience
    degenerative changes. While aging is a major contributor, high
    training loads over many years can also accelerate this process
    in younger athletes. A weakened tendon can rupture under a load
    that a healthy one could withstand.
    Inadequate warm-up: Skipping a proper warm-up routine can leave
    the Achilles less flexible and more prone to injury.
    Specific medications: Certain medications, such as fluoroquinolone
    antibiotics and corticosteroids, have been linked to an increased
    risk of Achilles ruptures.
    Noteworthy cases in pro sports
    Aaron Rodgers: The NFL quarterback tore his Achilles in 2023 on a
    non-contact play, four snaps into his season with the New York
    Jets, bringing the injury under intense scrutiny.
    Kevin Durant: The NBA All-Star tore his Achilles in 2019 during
    the NBA Finals while playing for the Golden State
    Warriors.
    Kobe Bryant: The late NBA legend tore his Achilles in 2013 while
    playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.

    It seems to be happening more, IMHO, in both the NFL and tennis. I'm not
    sure why, but it definitely scares the hell out of me when I play
    tennisrCo especially since my left calf has had a tendency to strain since spring, and I have a heel spur in the same foot...

    Actually fucking up with your natural fluidity of movement will
    increase the chances of getting injured.
    To avoid injuries, people should work hard to get and stay fit to
    play tennis, not playing tennis trying to get fit.

    9/11 was a sudden big shock and yes, it had a strong bonding effect. Covid was different. It seemed to in some cases divide people, but in others, unite them. I think a lot of relationships were either made or broken by people having
    to be stuck in the same house together for months. So I'm talking not just about "us as a people" but also on a personal level.

    Whether Covid was a "big deal" was debated furiously on this NG, but, it actually *was*.

    9/11 was a sudden big shock and yes, it had a strong bonding effect. Covid was different. It seemed to in some cases divide people, but in others, unite them. I think a lot of relationships were either made or broken by people having
    to be stuck in the same house together for months. So I'm talking not just about "us as a people" but also on a personal level.

    Whether Covid was a "big deal" was debated furiously on this NG, but, it actually *was*.


    Whatever happened to Robert B. Waltz?

    Can you elaborate on what you mean?

    I dunno. Arguably, though it may sound weird, it brought people

    I don't see that at all. Not like, say, post 9/11. Rather, I
    think it was a catalyst for further division. And now we've got
