It would be really nice if the producers who make millions off of these movies would donate some of the money back to the people who showed them how to use the equipment. First 2D (then 3D) gait analysis has been used to help people with polio, strokes, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular…

Oh, I get it. He is supposed to invite Wellington Mara over for tea and tell him, "Jolly good show. Sorry about the loss, old chap."

You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. See here.

The Bears lost their best offensive lineman for the season yesterday.

Watch Cutler in his first year in Chicago compared to now. The stupid red zone turnovers, once commonplace, have been largely relegated to the scrap heap. I have never seen a QB do more with less. He's awesome. Bears homer, signing out.

Do you always take yourself so seriously? And perhaps the lesson you *might* learn is explained here.

Poor Jimmy. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Let's rephrase this. "I am a Houston homer incapable of impartiality. Please ignore everything I have to say on the subject, especially because I am not addressing any of the larger points this article is discussing."

The genius bit of marketing came about when the PR department found out the French delegation would be in town.

That beeping you hear is the alarm you set to remind you to take your pills

Dammit! This piece of shit phone in my hand isn't going to replace itself.

They're all bad. Very few athletes are lucky enough to return to form (Dwight Freeney a notable exception (I think he was a bony Lisfranc, as opposed to ligamentous). The ligament is incredibly stout and is essentially the lynchpin holding the forefoot to the midfoot.

Is "take my wife...please" also in your joke repertoire?

Sounds like they did; frightening stuff. It's the chronic brain injuries that prevent me from letting my sons play the game, but these rare but devastating injuries are the more immediate reminder of the violence of the game.

Totally agree. But the NCAA should mandate specific protocol(s) be available to all players.

That's a lot to ask. I wonder if Tulsa is equipped to deal with these. The NCAA and NFL should mandate either specific local coverage or make sure air lift support is available to centers that can handle this (they may already do this - I don't know), because as you mentioned, initial treatment is crucial

Also an MD - didn't see original video before. Didn't know if it was a comomotio cordis situation or neck issue. With that update, sounds like a high cervical injury, affecting phrenic nerve, so even if he was awake and trying to breathe, he would be unable to contract his diaphragm to breathe on his own. Awful.

I think that you are confusing the juxtaposition of events as reported, which happens a lot when football people unaccounted to such events try reporting on what is happening. He was probably found down, unconscious and pulseless. ABC. Airway, Breathing, Cardio. The probably started CPR, gave him a large bore IV…
