Totally bogus unsportsmanlike call at the end, he removed his helmet after he left the field of play.

Edit: From the NFL Rulebook:
REMOVAL OF HELMET
(h) Removal of his helmet by a player in the field of play during a celebration or during a confrontation
with a game official or any other player.

Bold fpnt was done by me.

I thought AP had something else going on, too? Or was that just Teddy?

Teddy had like three things happen to his knee all at the same time. Ultimately, only the torn ACL is what's going to take a long time to heal. The rest of his knee will heal with time and PT he gets for his ACL.

AP only tore his meniscus when it twisted all around while that guy was hitting him from behind.

Yeah, knew Teddy blew his leg up. Just thought AP had something more serious. *shrug*

You're kinda on the right track. The reason that AD is out for so long is because the nature of the tear of his meniscus dictated that he should do a complete repair, which requires a longer recovery time. Roethlisberger opted for a trimming of the meniscus, which was also an option for AD, and is much less invasive than the complete repair. Also, the procedure that Roethlisberger opted for will likely mean that his knees will be in even worse shape than they would have been once he's done playing.

Essentially, the same injury for AD and Roethlisberger, with AD maybe being a bit more severe. Different strategies for fixing it were chosen. AD chose to completely fix it, with a longer recovery time, Roethlisberger chose the stop-gap quick recovery option.

Gotcha. And Great Rape Ape continued on in the game, which I don't know if that was a smart idea or not. Probably not.
