    So Aaron Rodgers is (finally) done on ESPN.  This whole Jimmy Kimmel / Aaron Rodgers thing has been very interesting to me.  They represent the two sides of the culture war of late.  I think Rodgers is a blow hard and an idiot who shouldn't have a platform to be honest... but at the same time, I think the way Jimmy handled the issue wasn't great either. 
    rodgers needs to go away. i work in medical device industry. there is no way in hell he was coming back from that achilles tear this year. no matter what product was used to repair the tendon, we cannot speed up physiology and healing and return to elite levels of function in 5 months. its just not possible. so this, along with his superimmunity to covid, he can fuck off with.
    Look into HGH and stem cells.
    hgh is actually known to weaken tendons because the muscle gets too strong and the tendon fails. would not be advisable for him to take it.

    the jury is out on stem cells and elite athletes with achilles ruptures and repairs. no long term data. there have been some studies that suggest it may help, but nothing conclusive.

    i worked with an orthopedic surgeon for 10 years before going into sales.
    Yah, but Aaron Rodgers gets medical advice from Joe Rogan among others, so there's that. 
    A handful of Yankees took it too for recovery time.  But i'm  also curious as to the benefits of it if there are, other countries tend to think so.

    I don't know a whole lot about that, but I do know Aaron's said he's got medical advice from Rogan in the past. There's probably a little bit of truth to that, and he almost certainly said it to own libs, ironic as that may be.

    i am sure that hgh may help with some issues. the achilles is one of the most important and dense tendons in the body. aside from the patellar tendon and quad tendon. the gastroc and soleus combine into that tendon. besides pushing off when you walk and run, the soleus is also an antigravity muscle, meaning as long as you are standing, that muscle is firing to hold you upright against gravity. same with the quadriceps, abdominals, and erector muscles in the spine. the fact that they are antigravity muscles makes them take longer to heal, because they serve their primary function of moving a joint, and also constantly firing to keep you upright against gravity. hgh causes significant muscle hypertrophy, or growth, increasing strength, and in many cases the muscle overpowers the tendon, which taking hgh as a powerlifter or something can cause the muscle to rupture the tendon. in someone with a repair, rapid muscle growth and significantly increased muscle power can cause the tendon to rupture either above or below where the repair was. also muscle growth can cause decreased flexibility/range of motion which can put you at greater risk for other injuries.

    stem cells there is promising research in some areas. but since it is not a proven modality it is not covered by insurance in a lot of cases. once it has the evidence to back up the theory, it will be more accepted as a viable treatment option. once that happens it will get fda approval, and once medicare agrees to cover it, the rest of the insurance companies will follow suit. professional athletes injured on the field are considered employees and are under workman's comp. the team covers the expense of their treatment. if a team has millions invested in a player they have an interest in getting that player better, so they are willing to pay the cost of treatments, even if the fda still considers them "experimental". that is why you or i probably would have to pay out of pocket if we wanted stem cells for certain issues.

    The players did pay out of pocket because baseball has banned the practice.  There are many stories of people seeking stem cell treatment in other countries with great success.  Supposedly the religious right has a problem using stem cells?

    I read stories on it every now and again so it is a thing still.

    I read stories on it every now and again so it is a thing still.
    it is definitely still a thing. there is just no long term data on outcomes yet. kind of like PRP. outcome data shows it only works on a few things, like chronic tennis elbow and chronic achilles tendinopathy.

    many things have come to the market as innovations in ortheopaedic surgery that end up having terrible outcomes long term. i remember back in 1998 thermal assisted tissue shrinkage with a laser was all the rage for shoulder instability/dislocations and chronic ankle instability. it was rushed to the market with no long term outcome data, and then all of these people that had their loose shoulders tightened with the laser had their joint capsules stretch out and then their shoulders were more unstable than before the surgery. not only that, but the nerve receptors in the tissue that sense motion and movement were fried so their shoulders were unable to be repaired after that. that company got sued for hundreds of millions of dollars. also the hip joints with metal heads on metal shells and liners were spectacular failures. they worked well initially but long term the metal broke down and made people sick.  both examples were way before i started in the industry though. back when i was still in grad school or early in my career. i think the fda is taking a harder look at new technology and new potential treatment modalities these days. 

    i think that the stem cells are used with cells from an aborted fetus or something. i am not certain, but i think steve scalise, big pro life republican, got in big trouble a few weeks ago for opposing stem cells for everyone else while getting stem cell treatment on himself.

    only because she isn't trying to give them some. she has drawn new fans to the game, so that is good for the nfl. as far as her being a distraction, these guys are professional athletes in their 20s and 30s. if a cute woman shows up at their game and they get distracted, that is on the players and their immaturity. not taylor swift. it's not high school, lol.

    does she get credit because they won sunday?

    As long as she got credit for them losing the other times she went too, sure, lol.

    There are people that don't give two shits about Taylor Swift and want to watch football.  There is a bunch of coverage on her being there, what she wears, etc.  

    It doesn't bother me as I like Taylor Swift as an artist and person but the fact that she tilts her head a certain way and it makes the news as coverage is silly...

    You don’t apply the same logic to her as you do Aaron Rodgers in that ‘she must be interesting if people are talking about her’?

    Of course it applies, that's why people report it...  Different scenario though huh?  People watch the football games (mostly) for the game, not for Swift.  People watch McAfee for Rodgers.

    Unless youre trying for some different angle trying to own me?

    Swifties are tuning into the NFL, buying merch and going to games because of Taylor, so how would that be any different than people tuning into McAfee just for AR? From that perspective the two scenarios are quite similar, no? Promoting each person appeals to a niche audience, so where's the difference?  (It's not as if McAfee's show didn't exist before Rodgers or outside of his weekly appearances)

    Sure, you can argue the majority of people aren't tuning into NFL games to see Tay Tay, but likewise, I can't imagine many people are tuning into ESPN for foolish vaccine conspiracies or to hear talk about the Epstein list.

    I think the attention paid to both is dumb, but I also understand our society loves vapid shit like who's dating who or some dumb athlete's views on vaccine shedding & spike proteins.

    School’s been canceled all week so far with the weather. Looking good for the next 2 days too!
  • tony dungy still trying to cancel taylor swift. i bet he gets himself canceled from his commentator job before this is all over.
    He has a point though.  You know how many people are tired of hearing about Taylor Swift, lol?
    only because she isn't trying to give them some. she has drawn new fans to the game, so that is good for the nfl. as far as her being a distraction, these guys are professional athletes in their 20s and 30s. if a cute woman shows up at their game and they get distracted, that is on the players and their immaturity. not taylor swift. it's not high school, lol.

    does she get credit because they won sunday?
    As long as she got credit for them losing the other times she went too, sure, lol.

    There are people that don't give two shits about Taylor Swift and want to watch football.  There is a bunch of coverage on her being there, what she wears, etc.  

    It doesn't bother me as I like Taylor Swift as an artist and person but the fact that she tilts her head a certain way and it makes the news as coverage is silly...
    You don’t apply the same logic to her as you do Aaron Rodgers in that ‘she must be interesting if people are talking about her’?

    Once/if Swift and Kelce break up those fans won't give fukall about the NFL.  People will still tune into Mcafee for Rodgers' take though.  That's proven.

    I'm in agreement with what people find as "must Watch", lol.
