Good find. Nice to hear his perspective - he's not a sports reporter with "unbiased opinions" but an actual fan!

TBH - As we sit right now, I would've rather stayed with Nelsen. I was ok with the firing if we brought in someone with experience, but we just hired the same guy. We can only pray that he turns out to be a diamond in the shit sewer.

I agree. Maybe I'm scarred by our past, but I can't get over the suspicion that this was another inside MLSE political move rather than anything to do with the good of our team. I'm not an out and out Nelsen supporter either, I understand the criticisms and agree with most. But this just looks so typical TFC. I have really lost faith that we are or were ever moving in the right direction.

Larson's article suggested a 2-3 week recovery time for surgery.

Generally speaking, sports hernia surgery typically takes about 4-6 weeks to recover. Add in the 7-10 days to wait and see if surgery is necessary and I think we can pretty logically conclude that the season that is known as the "TFC Playoff Push" is likely to become "Defoe's QPR Offseason"

Bobby Ryan of the Senators had that surgery in the offseason and this was his quote on Tuesday: "When they tell you 6-to-8 weeks, I think that was kind of rushing it a little bit. It was more like (14) weeks when I started to feel no pain. The past little while it’s been 100%. I’m beyond ready to go. I can’t wait.”
