It wasn't long ago that Shawne Merriman was making serious headway on his upcoming book, Shawne Merriman's Pocket Guide to Highly Esteemed and Credentialed Medical Professionals Whose Opinions I Think Are Total Crap. Merriman had scoured the earth, hauling his bum knee from doctor's office to doctor's office, hoping and praying to find one, just one doc who'd say, "Lace 'em up, Shawne. The knee's fine."
Four opinions later, and not a favorable one to be found.
Idiot doctors.
Well, after Sunday's two-tackle performance (in a vintage Norv Turner-helmed, last-second 26-24 giveaway at home to Carolina), Merriman decided maybe this whole surgery thing ain't such a bad idea after all. Merriman will undergo surgery on his left knee — which has been bothering him since 2006 — and be out the rest of the season.
Never forget who wears the stethoscope, pal.
