Yes, the patients were mostly older (IQR 45 - 53), but the damage stats are enough to give anyone pause. When 78% of the subjects showed heart damage, especially when contrasted with the controls, you just about have to sit up and take notice. The usual assumption would be that anybody coming...

There's one study on this I know of: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2768916 Descriptions of the study is often prefaced by "a small sample". This is misleading. First, the study is carefully controlled, with comparisons to age-matched and "risk factor-matched"...

Kudos to Massachusetts doing it right. FIFY.

I'm not sure where you got the 40 times and they are - shall we say - notoriously inaccurate for high school players. From their high school films, I'd rate Griffin a trifle faster then Gibbs, but it's a photo finish. Gibbs is a trifle cuter, but, again, I'd rate them about even, especially...

Actually, Gibbs reminds me a bit of Choice. Like Choice, he's hard to bring down, knows how to find a hole, and is pretty cute in the open. Also like Choice, he's no Tony Dorsett when it comes top speed. I'm sure he'll prove to be a fine RB at Tech, once he gets the chance. But does everybody...

I'll believe it when I see it. That still looks like 2021 to me. I mean, I'm sure the young man is talented, but practice is one thing, games are another.

The answer to all this is that the conferences will probably decide to can fall/winter sports for this year and tell the NFL to go pound salt. That'll be a really big loss for the programs, but it could lead to a rationalization of coaches salaries and staff reductions that would increase...

Ok, I think it's time we realized that the season won't happen. I don't doubt that the Big 12 will fold its tents as well. Then the AAC and ACC will too. There's no reason to risk the players health by playing football and whoever does it won't profit by it. One possibility would be a bubble...

I'm sorry for all the loses you have suffered. I hope those who survived can recover, but I fear for the long term consequences of this disease. This thing is very bad indeed. We still haven't gotten to the place where we can admit that. This continues to bewilder me.

I did too, but that may have been because our opponents weren't as stout. I think the big thing now is to find 7 OLs who can play and have them avoid injury long enough to learn to play as a unit. I'm an old (very) OL myself and I can testify to the vastly increased efficiency of blocking when...

Did you watch how he did it? By bridging. If he had done that with his rear on the bench I'd be more impressed. Maybe he can by now. Presently, Mason is easily our strongest runner. Griffin needs a hole; if he gets one, he can turn on the jets and make it work. If he doesn't he didn't show much...

My main takeaways from the new roster are: • I like it that the guys who didn't need to gain weight - especially Mason and most of the RBs - didn't. I'm not too thrilled with Griffin going up to 218; his main talent is his speed. But you never know. • I'm not so thrilled with so many players...

I thought last year that losing Camp so early made a huge difference in our passing game. All of a sudden, we lost the guy who could muscle his way to a 10 yard reception against most DBs. The guys who replaced him did ok, but they were not Camp. Further, losing him meant that there wasn't a WR...

I don't think we need to worry about James. But … I'm not sure he'll get to show us why.

Now, there's an idea! Find a way for us and I'll be right behind you.

Ah, just when you thought things couldn't get worse, the Germans intervene. See: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2020/07/no-comment-necessary.html And goto the link. Short study: the study found substantial cardiac damage in 78% of all patients who had the disease and recovered...

And now the NFL has cancelled the preseason. I won't post a link; all of you saw the story. We'll see, but I doubt the season will continue if it starts. I have no problem with that. There's nothing wrong with facing reality, even for football fans. True, it is a tad bit harder for us …

Want a preview of the season if we decide to play? See: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/mlb-miami-marlins-coronavirus-outbreak-emergency-meeting I hate to be a Debbie Downer on this, but there are few activities that are more likely to spread the virus then contact sports. If we go ahead...

Well … since we are doing Charlie's lyrics, let's include his first hit, shall we? I was takin' a trip out to LA Toolin' along in my Chevrolet Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio Jes' as I cross the Mississippi line I heard that highway start to whine And I knew that left rear tire was...

Fast, wasn't he? I always liked that best.
