The very best.

My son, Andrew, played for Midland, and ended up back East at Penn.

Oh, he playin' with, uh, Joe Paterno.

University of Pennsylvania. Uh, premed.

Oh. Just let it relax. You have any pain?

Not at all. Does this hurt?

Nope. None of that hurts?

Nope. Okay. Go ahead and sit up and just let your legs hang over the side.

In fact, why don't you go ahead and get dressed and let me look at the scan.

I-I'm sorry. You'reJames' dad?

No, I'm his uncle. Come over and let me-- let me look at the scan with you.

Uh, this is the scan wejust did today ofhis knee...

and this is looking right through the middle of the knee.

What we're looking at right through here is-- is the A.C.L.,

and what this shows is that he's had a fairly significant, fairly serious injury.

James, let me show you. Right through here is where the injury is,

and it looks like you've had a pretty serious injury to that part of your knee.

Significant enough that-- that I have concerns about what you can do from here on.

So when can I suit up?

Well, let me just say with how your knee felt when I examined it and what I see on the scan--

With-- with the-- the things that you do well--

The reason that you're great is that you can run and cut and hammer people...

and you don't hesitate because you've got a solid knee.

When you don't have this ligament, you can't do that, so it's really out of the question.

What? No, no, no. That's-- That's not what Dr. Spencer said.

He said three weeks. Three weeks is up, and I'm ready to play.

I understand. I understand, but again, when I--

Based on what I see when I feel your knee, examine your knee-- What I see here--

[ Stammers ] You-- You really can't play with this kind of knee.

What are you talkin' about, I can't play? I'm gonna play.

I'm ready to play. My team needs me. I'm ready to play.

Listen to me. I am listenin' to you.

I-I want-- I want what's best for you.

You and I are on the same page-- We ain't on the same page.!

How you gonna want what's best for me? Hold on. Hold on.

How you gonna want what's best for me? You from Midland, right?

You from Midland? Huh? This is bull, man.

You just jealous 'cause you from Midland.

What I recommend-- You jealous 'cause you from Midland. Who paying you?

- Who paying you? - Come on, Boobie. That's okay.

You tryin' to take my football career!

You tryin'to take my football career.! Boobie, let's get out ofhere.

Tryin'to take my football career.! Whatever you're sayin' to me, listen to me.

Come on! Pig!
