Several weeks before the first installment of "The Hidden Injury" ran in our sports section, we held a round-table discussion here at the office.

OK, so the table was rectangular. Let's not get caught up in semantics.

It provided invaluable input as I tried to figure out how to hit all the important points in the series.
