weeks later he was liring on the same Orange Bowl turf gripping his knee in pain It'Was the same knee that had teen operated on five years ago For a moment Moore bad some dark thoughts "At first I

get do get hurt it bappens because it's time to bappen but I was worried anyway" But the knee was just hyperextended Moore bobbled around on a cane for a week spent the next week limping and this week
