I lifted my leg while sitting on the bench, and my whole leg below the kneecap started swinging like a tire swing in a stiff breeze. Not to mention my knee was hurting like crazy!

For people that aren’t as familiar with terms for ligaments, it pretty much meant that my knee was trashed. Not only was I done playing football for the season, I couldn't walk.

This was my first impression of Minnesota Dance Theater, and it made quite an impact. Their fall concert series consisted of four separate…
