One of the worst was when Herm chipped out Greg Walkers teeth during an on field seizure. No one is perfect in medicine. Thats why its called the practice of medicine. This staff is just better than the average staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am am starting to wonder about sports medicine myself. Now guys need all these days off, in basketball can’t play heavy minutes. Can’t be given the ball too much in football. The guys that played the hardest to me were Pete Rose, Walter Payton, and Michael Jordan. They played hard all the time. Except when MJ broke his foot, they hardly ever missed a game, and had a heavy workload, they all would be considered well beyond abused these days. Hard to compare across sports, but Linebackers are bigger, faster, and hit much harder today. Walter Payton would still be great, but he would play as hard as any player in the current game. Pitchers, on average, throw harder now than they did in Pete Rose's era. Pete Rose would still be great today, but I get the feeling Mike Trout would still be a better player if both were playing todays game Between the mess he had made of the Bulls and the similar problems we are seeing with the Timberwolves, Tom Thibodeau coached teams are a stern warning of what happens when you don't rest basketball players I guess what I'm trying to say is, sports medicine has gotten a lot better, but teams are also getting smarter. Better players, increased intensity, increased risk of injury. Teams have deemed resting players as a potential way to address these risk.

I'm thinking Lorenzo Cain did it a lot in KC and Salvy Perez. Is Avi susceptible? Yoan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
