The controversy in Wilshere's comments seem less to do with what he said and more to do with what the media conversation became once they were said. He simply said English people should play for England, but he didn't attempt to define what being English is. The media were left to make a mess of that, which they do…

I honestly don't know how people can become GP's now. I appreciate that they do, because we all need good everyday doctors, but I watch how my friends are treated and it is more as prescription fillers and less as people who spent a decade learning about the body and what ails it. I think those who practice…

I would just counter that point that a surgeon has more at stake than say a car salesman. He/She generally has privileges at multiple hospitals, this one in discussion worked with UCLA, Cedars and the VA so his calendar wasn't exactly in need of bookings. More importantly, if my Dad were to die on the table, or post…

That's great that you got to it so early. I mean it sucks that you have it, but it seems like you are taking it seriously and that will help down the line. The things I have seen is if you have a good physician they will encourage you and they will try to get your med level as low as possible, so at times that can…

Yea seriously. My Grandma is 86 now, she has been diabetic for nearly 40 years. Her morning readings are generally mid 70's-90's and her A1C is steady at 6.5 but her former endocrinologist (great guy) was constantly on her to get it lower. He retired and her new endocrinologist laughed when she asked what her A1C…

I am the type of person who likes to form parallel situations to explain my opinions and understanding of a situation. And while I understand what you were going for with the car/mechanic, because I love my cars, I still think, if my mechanic, new or old, screws my car up, I am out either the money, or the car, or a…

A bit different though selling a guy an Audi he may regret and planning the partial removal of 4 organs when you know from training there are in fact several non-invasive options available and if those failed, you could still cut him open.

He is good now. The entire medical apparatus has been very proactive in making certain he is well, since they know how badly he got screwed by a colleague. Glucose that low is no joke. My Grandma and Dad both have type 2. In my youth I spent several years living with my Grandma and helping to care for her, I got used…

I didn't mean to cast every surgeon into a lot of shitty people. Rather just to say surgeons like to cut. That is what they do. Every problem they see they feel they can repair through cutting. I have many doctor friends, and prior to realizing how freaked out I get around medical tools (needles, hammers, chisels,…

Seriously surgeons are like hammers/nails. Everything to them can be fixed with cutting and I know this from experience and I know surgeons. Brilliant guys at anatomy, not so well inclined medically or socially.

I think we have arrived at the moment where everything from the mass extinction of the Dinosaurs to right now has to be his fault, except good things of course.

Agreed, also, when did baseball become Cricket or Polo. This is a sport where adjusting your cock & balls and spitting is required between every pitch. In little league we were taught how to properly spit our sunflower seeds out, we were not a very good team, but we all spit quite well. We were also issued Big League…

Mourinho in my opinion is under a lot of pressure. His time at Real Madrid did not end well. He lost a lot of the players there, and he has some issues with Chelsea. They are crazy deep in some areas, but thin in others. Relying on Torres and an aging Eto'o seems risky and unnecessary when you had Lukaku there. Ba may…

Does it concern you at all that Mourhino wouldn't lend us Ba because with Özil he assumed us as title contenders but even with the great work you guys did in the window, he had no problem giving you Moses on loan.

I think you are assuming players of all generations had access to MRI's, CT Scans, and the advanced research that is only now occurring by studying deceased players' brains. They didn't, but the NFL had access to much more information than the players. You can argue that they used this information to make the game…

@donovanjmcnabb: What does everyone think of this MLK guy? I heard he had a Dream, was it a scary dream? Yes or No. #DreamDay #Nightmares

We need an index of all freely available French players the world over with a history of injuries. This would really aid all transfer speculations. The index would need to go as deep as France's 4th league.

But isn't that sad. We have arrived at a point where it is like, I'll take him, because we have no confidence or belief the club can actually execute a deal for someone other teams would want. Plus we only have like 7 healthy players.

French, prone to injuries, and free, seems like the perfect Wenger signing. Hopefully the club grossly overpays him so he'll be impossible to move along once he Chamakhs his stay with us, and we can all just enjoy his hair for seasons to come.

This is true, although I assume without the Raider fans, a good many public servants would be out of work. Law enforcement, county court employees, public defenders, it'd seriously cripple the SoCal economy. I just always wondered why the die hards didn't pack up and move to Oakland. Real Estate pricing is about the…
