If Jalen Hurts was there he would have helped the photographer up and demanded Adams write a formal letter of apology.

You going to the hospital for a sprained ankle?

Not me, I've sprained my ankle eleventy billion times, RICE it's good in a couple days 

When I tore my knee I went to the ER that night to get x rays.

Maybe he thought he broke or tore something either way I sure as hell wouldn't call an ambulance.

Maybe he had an ear ache and his mommy wasnt available to drive him.

When did going to the ER become reason to take a man card?

 

If it is after hours, most of the time you don't have a choice but to go to the ER. If it is something that could be semi-serious, like a slipped disk because he fell on camera equipment, you wouldn't call an ambulance because it's not an emergency, but you do go to the ER because nothing else is open. Happens daily. I know there are people with just a bad headache that are told to go to the ER by their dr because they can't see them in the regular office and the ER has to take them even if it takes hours. It's just like calling 911 now days, even if it isn't an emergency, they tell you to do it anyway for a number of circumstances. The ER will prioritize based on triage.

Let’s hucking go!!!

What is there to discuss? Adams was an ass and acted like he was better than the guy just because he plays in the NFL. Hopefully his apology was genuine.

Just visited Napoleons tomb….such a big casket for a little guy! 
 

It was a jaw dropping building though, just beautiful

Napoleon wasn‘t really that short and of average height for those days. The issue was that the British and French inch were different, the French inch was about 10% longer - but hearing that he was only 5’ tall was good propaganda  (he was really about 5’6”, if they did the conversion).

Yeah... no kid that breaks an arm ever waits a few minutes for their parent to be able to drive them to the hospital.  Or, kid injured during a football game goes to the hospital with their parent, rather than in the ambulance?  

 

Actually... it happens all the time.  Just this year during a JV game, a kid dislocated his knee.  The trainer put the joint back in place, and then he was carted off the field and sat in the golf cart for about 20 minutes before his parents arrived with the car to take him to the hospital.  No ambulance was called.  And I can assure you, having seen the injury with my own two eyes...  the bone was out of position.  (Looked like the fibula popped out of position with the knee. @HazletonEagle can tell you how common that is or how severe an injury it is.)  

 

I don't see the problem with him not getting a ridiculously expensive ambulance ride versus an Uber.   He could be hurt bad enough to warrant a trip to the ER, without that injury being life threatening and requiring the ambulance immediately.   Most injuries like that will be put in the waiting room at the ER anyway, so it's not like he's necessarily going to be seen first thing when arriving at the ER anyway.   It will depend on how busy they are.

I've dislocated my knee cap 8 times, my right one 6 times left one 2 times, I've put it back in 7 times myself the exception being the first time, when I was 12 and my mom took me to ER where they did it.

Having said that if the tibia was also displaced then that sounds like a tibial fracture🤷‍♂️ along with the knee dislocation.

Having said that the last time my knee popped out it also tore a bunch of cartilage, dislocating ones knee cap puts a tremendous amount of pressure on surrounding tendons and ligaments as well that can lead to tears or strains.

I'm not sure how common knee cap dislocations are, when I was in PT most the other patients with knee injuries were torn ACLs which seem to be more common.

I'm sure hazleton as you said would know the  commonality of that type Injury.

Either way I never took an ambulance for popping out my knee 

Having said that I coached 9 th grade football for 7 years never had a kid pop out his knee though we did have two kids in two different years get ambulance rides, one for neck injury in which they backboarded him and one for a severe concussion where I think they backboarded him as well.

Those types of injuries in my experience are far more prevalent than dislocated knees.

5’6 is still short by our modern standards. And that coffin is ridiculously oversized for any height. I kinda want the same thing, just need to conquer a continent first

Cowboys have played the two teams that played in the Super Bowl last season and the Tom Brady Bucs. They have let no one score over 20 points in a single game.  They have allowed no team to score more than a single touchdown in a game.  They have done this all with the pressure the added pressure and responsibility that falls into a defense when the offense has a practice squad backup QB playing which means in none of these games are the Cowboys able to build big leads and then just focus on defending the pass against teams desperate to try and catch up. 

I have called the Bills, 49ers and Bucs defenses elite. Eagles could be at that level but I need to see it from Gannon first against good QBs and good offensive HCs.  Dallas has done that this season.  Eagles probably won't get that opportunity to do so until the Packers game from the looks of their schedule especially if Dak is out this week. But at the end of the day the Eagles defense being elite or not has absolutely othinf to do with the Cowboys defense being elite. 

Have any of those teams, the Rams, Bengals and Bucs looked like good offenses in games not playing the Cowboys.

Those 3 teams are not as good as they were last year.  They haven't looked good in any game even playing teams other than Dallas.

Originally, at St. Helena he was buried in a lead coffin that weighed tons with multiple layers, etc - peops would try to steal body parts - not a very normal situation.

Abraham Lincoln suffered a similar fate.   He's buried deep in a mountain of concrete.

Driscoll has played surprisingly well, LT isn't really his best position but he's held his own, would obviously rather have Mailata out there but Driscoll has been good and not sure Dillard is in game shape?

You think? IMHO Driscoll has been lousy. The problem is, right now, we have nobody else.

A dislocated knee to a medical person is a torn ACL and PCL allowing the tibia to dislocate. Its associated with a high incidence of neurovascular compromise and is a medical emergency to save the limb.

A dislocated patella is what it sounds like you are describing. Thats a dislocated knee cap.  Not a dislocated knee (although so many people refer to it that way.) If I have a knee immobilizer available, as a trainer at a football game should, I wouldn't necessarily have that athlete go to the hospital at all. They wont do anything for that athlete. Its a wasted trip. A waste of the athlete and family's time. A waste of hospital resources. A waste of insurance medical dollars.

During the fall season, we offer a saturday morning injury clinic (because of friday night football injuries). If there is no orthopedic walk in clinic available in the area that they can get to the next day, I would facilitate a referral to orthopedics on Monday and would advise them to only go to the ED if the pain is severe.

That injury can wait to go to an urgent care clinic, or better yet directly to an ortho specialist. Theyll x-ray to make sure there is no associated fracture of the patella or osteochondral lesion to the end of the femur, or posterior surface of the knee cap. But even if a fracture has happened, the treatment is the knee immobilizer. And then physical therapy.

There is no medical emergency. No further treatment the ED will offer. Theyre just going to refer to ortho anyway. And of its a first time incident, its unlikely to be operated on.

 

As far as the camera guy, if his wrist hurt, I dont see why he would need an ambulance to take him to the ED. Talk about another waste of insurance dollars and resources... A ride in a car seems adequate.

Bucs have played some good defenses this season (Cowboys, Saints & Packers) and their offense has struggled.  Cowboys held them to their 2nd lowest point total of the season. 

Rams have also played some good defenses ths season (Bills, Cowboys & 49ers).  Cowboys held them to their 2nd lowest point total this season. 

Cowboys held the Bengals to their lowest point total of the season. 

 

 

lol @ playoff baseball. mid-day on a Tuesday? What could be more exciting than that?!?!

Bengals -- 20 pts vs PIT, 17 vs DAL, 27 vs the Jets, 27 vs MIA, 17 vs BAL

Rams -- 10 pts vs BUF, 31 vs ATL, 20 vs ARI, 9 vs SF, 10 vs DAL

Bucs -- 19 pts vs DAL, 20 vs NO, 12 vs GB, 31 vs KC, 21 vs ATL

 

Doesn't seem like those teams struggled against the Turds any more than against the rest of the league.

Even if Mailata is back, Parsons is going to be a problem. Mailata had a tough matchup with a speed rusher last year when he was up against Reddick, although he was lined up at RT for that game. Now he has to come back with probably limited range of motion in his shoulder... doesn't sound good. Guessing we will be seeing a lot of 12 for the game. Hopefully they play Brown more this time when they go into 12.

Oh last night I saw an adult get pushed over and then try to get right back up to his feet. I'll wait for the evidence that this guy was actually hurt. Until then, from what I saw, I dont believe he is hurt at all. 

Lol

I'm sure they line up Parsons everywhere but everytime I see highlights of him he's rushing over the RT.

Parsons vs Lane would be awesome to watch.
