Most high school sports (in many states, anyway) have mandatory baseline testing to establish levels for concussion testing. Problem is it is conducted by trainers with varying levels of experience in using the equipment. But you are right, an EKG would be useful.

1000 attacks a year suggests that there is a deep-seated, awful misogyny going on in India. Add this to the consistent use of rape there, and the refusal or inability of the legal system to deal with it, and I’d say this is a case of Indian exceptionalism which we are well and truly able to review and say: this sucks.…

But sports build character!

Plus she's marrying an adorable Italian tennis player, who slayed Nadal during the same tournament. Going to make beautiful, athletic babies who can grow up and lose to the Federer kids in semi-final matches.

I heard the Clerk in Kentucky refused to certify his wins.

I have such a hard time with this game. Serial rapist versus complete culture of cheating. I want both QBs to suffer serious injuries. (I know, I am a terrible person).

And you were right! After the way they looked in their respective last matches I never would have predicted that. (Obviously).

Roger Goodell to be woken, told.

Agreed. That woman is still injured — her movement was terrible. She didn’t deserve to win the Lisicki match, but then, neither did Lisicki.

I didn’t say she’d win — I said that she’s the only one with a shot. Serena is pretty much sleepwalking through this. Mattek-Sands? Please. That wasn’t serious. In all these matches, Serena’s only opponent was her unforced errors. I would put Vika’s odds at less than 20 percent, but that’s better than anyone else is…

Agreed. But as I say, she’s the only one with a shot. In part because she genuinely doesn’t give a crap about Serena’s quest for a calendar slam, and because she really, really, really would like to beat her.

Azarenka is the only one with a real chance to stop her. She’s playing like a number 1 again, and she has a big enough ego to not give a shit about Serena’s making history. That will at least be an interesting match. If Serena plays her best, she will still win, but she’ll have to step it up.

Booster club required it be worn on the sidelines as part of the advertising.

4 kids ejected, 2 other than those involved in this incident for throwing punches. I assume that they were the ones caught (or it might be the wrong kids, but the right team). One of these hits a kid down on a knee. What does that tell you about the culture of the team?

That’s where this took place. They too must go.

They ejected a total of 4 Jay players from the game according to the link. 2 for this event, and 2 others for throwing punches. 1 kid is a character flaw, 2 kids is a problem, 4 kids is indicative of a serious freaking cultural issue and on a team that issue is generally the coach.

Puhleeze. Kids at the STEM club meeting often are figuring out how to take down the librarian by getting drone footage which goes out over social media the next day. Not that your point about academics v. sports in high school (particularly in certain parts of the country) isn’t valid but let’s stop talking for a…

That you can get drafted early to the Ravens?

They are trying to determine whether they can also charge someone else, like the coaching staff.

The right answer to ask him to hit his head on a wall repeatedly.
