What an absolute bargain. So much for saying Heyward would go to the highest bidder. So much for saying he doesn't want to win. So much for saying we actually made a good effort to sign him. Thank goodness we got that sweet trade for Shelby the other day.. can't imagine how I'd be feeling...

If we trade him, I'd hope for a clear overpay on a position player. Someone the caliber of... oh, I don't know, maybe Jason Heyward?

Ladies and gentleman, your future owner of the Atlanta Braves:

Also.. what do they think they're going to see on a CT scan? I guess they may see some edema.. but by then it would probably be resolved. Just a weird thing. Seems more PR-related than actually based in science.

http://mmajunkie.com/2015/11/ufc-193-medical-suspensions-rousey-jedrzejczyk-letourneau-could-be-out-six-months Some fighters get suspended 7 days. Why choose 60 for her if she didn't have a concussion and just had a little cut on her lip?

Yeah, when someone is on top of her punching her in the face and she's not reacting, she's unconsciousness. LOC doesn't imply you're "knocked out cold," or whatever that means. A brief flash is loss of consciousness.

Did she or did she not lose consciousness? Also, lol at "wow, she needed plastic surgery to fix a cut." Yeah, surgery is really trivial, especially after head trauma. And most people don't need surgery when they skin their knee.

:eusa_dance: :banana: :dance: I love these guards.

What I've learned here is the general public needs a lot of education about concussions. Rousey had a concussion. I don't care what the official line is (btw, she is "medically suspended" for 60 days, and more pending a CT result). If you are "knocked out" - you are concussed. A concussion...

I would argue that it's not just on her - it's on us as a society. But I know I'm tilting at windmills here. I suspect that football will not exist in its current form in 20 years. MMA may (hopefully will) be the same. It will just take time for people to accept it for what it is.

lol. Still an idiot. The "medical diagnosis" isn't necessary. If you get knocked out, THAT IS A CONCUSSION. KO = concussion. Repeated concussions = bad brain. And no, I stopped watching as much football as I used to, mostly because I find the sport barbaric as well. Call me a pussy if you...

This is exactly the kind of thinking that is dangerous. "Getting your bell rung" is a concussion. I watched the replay to see what you guys are talking about. She was concussed.

Simply googling "MMA concussions" pretty quickly dispels this. MMA brain injury risk is higher than boxing Furthermore, from the article: Citing data from other research, the study said the mixed martial arts head trauma rate also outpaces football and hockey. It's time people accept the...

In most sports, your opponent doesn't get to clock you in the head with a roundhouse kick then jump on you and punch you in the face over and over (while unconscious) until the referee steps in to stop it. That's not too good for the brain. Every knockout is a concussion, by definition. A...

Barely.

MMA is so barbaric. It sickens me that people watch it. Hooray, let's celebrate someone suffering a traumatic brain injury!

Best defensive player I've ever watched, and we've had some greats. Watching Andrelton play defense was the best part of a game for me. Just watching him field a routine grounder, you could see that he was on a whole other level from everyone else who plays the position. Sad trade. Can't say...

To build a rotation like the Mets, you actually need good pitching prospects. For all of our wheeling and dealing.. which of our pitching prospects are actually safe bets? Newcomb? We turned valuable assets into a few lottery tickets. That's really disappointing. And our offense is getting...
