The MRI has confirmed the #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a dislocated kneecap, but not significant additional damage, sources tell me and @JamesPalmerTV. He’ll seek additional opinions to be sure. The plan is for him to return this season after a brief absence.
Hats off to the Doctor who popped it back in. Can you imagine the pressure? National TV audience watching. Thats the MVP’s kneecap your popping in. You **** this up, your toast. You know the sooner it gets popped back in, it lessens the recovery time or damage to ligaments. So you just do it. Ballsy. [Reply]

Honestly, though, it's not a difficult thing to do. I've seen emergency personnel at local games do that (and similar). Hell, LDT should have reached over and done it. [Reply]

who said it was difficult? Pressure was the point. This wasn’t a HS kids knee. You screw this up, your never working in this town again. There were millions watching live. [Reply]

I think the point is that if you know what you are doing, there is not a lot of room to screw it up.
That said, I wouldn't want to be the one doing it. [Reply]
