The paradox of 21st century trauma care means surviving that which would have killed you ten years ago so you can have decades of dramatically reduced quality-of-life dealing with compilations medicine still can’t treat.

Yuck. Dealing with neuro-trauma is horrible for all involved. Quality of life is severely effected. It’s bad enough when it happens with geriatric patients, but having a guy in this 30’s this shape means you have to think about long-term care. Odom could conceivably live another 50 years and will almost certainly need…

Bloomingdale’s managed to thrown an already gross ad 1000 miles deeper into Creepyland by picking a model who looks like Robin Thicke.

Flesh Without Blood is pretty great. I agree that vocal reverb trail phasing sounds spookily amazing with headphones, and the guitar layered over gives it a touch of organic warmth to contrast the iciness of the synths.

...But I keep on waiting, anticipating,

Mozgov is not cocksucker!

Absolutely. In the replay it’s pretty obvious that he pushes off and jumps toward Bridgewater after he goes into the slide.

This made me sick. When Bridgewater gets hit, his left arm raises up in the classic “fencing sign.” That’s a red alert for a concussion and an injury to the brainstem.

This is terrifying. Nicely done!

Looking at this from an epidemiological point of view, the types of injuries we’re seeing, rather than the overall number of injuries we’re seeing, could be indicative of something.

The History Channel was right!

Certainly not US military personnel at an American base located in the UK...and you’d also have a hell of a time explaining to them the concept of an “air force.”

Noted.

Red Right 88, The Fumble, The Drive...

Harbaugh unleashes his diabolical plot to kill the entire Ohio State student body by making them laugh themselves to death.

GO BLEW (IT)!

Bevo probably figured a 2-4 opening was a sign the season wasn’t worth living through.

Amateurs. This is how you throw bottles at a game!

If the reports from TMZ and E! are correct, he’s likely in bad shape. My mom’s a doctor (obviously, she didn’t examine Odom, so all of this is generally speaking). According to mom, if he’s on life support, it probably means he stopped breathing and still can’t do so on his own. That’s serious.

Cleveland guy here. 2014: “I’m coming home.”
