Mr. WEO

resonates with readers?? anyway…Durant came back from a ruptured Achilles into the crazy shoe that the Nets became with chronic malcontent Hardin, chronic drama queen Kyrie (great leader of men right there…) and now hopeless softee Ben Simmons. Durant has been the constant. Yes he’s had some issues with his social media stuff and he’s injured more in his 15th year. But fraud? Eichel for sure, Durant no. but by all means, keep your “readers” resonating with this pure gold take machine!

guy just compared Durant to Eichel

why are any pitchers on the list?

lol deGrom

59 of the original 135 included in the study were still in the league at least 3 years after the injury. The positions with the highest % of post injury players in that group were QB, OL, FS, DE. Another study (cited in this one) showed skill players drafted in highest rounds had the worst outcomes after injury. All of the limitations of this study brought up in this thread were clearly discussed by the authors in this paper.

Hard to say-pretty fringe player. He wouldn't have been included in the study cited by the OP.

I remember when all the Christians went to the Lions...

Any Art Donovan interview is pure gold.

were your 217 other posts this awesome? discuss...

He will be on the sidelines dissecting the plays for Josh!

Great point. Is receiving a massage "performing an act"? It way hinge on concepts of social contract. Also the "foreseeability" would likely be the controlling factor.

Barkley will earn a bitcoin every 3 weeks on the PS.

He was the only one. The rest of Congress yawned.

There won't be. Political suicide. Remember all the political interest in Spygate? No? There was none. It was crazy old Arlen Specter on a solo mission to get anyone interested in Congress. Zero takers. Turns out that Specter was just carrying the water for Comcast, one of his biggest contributors that was in the middle of a beef with the NFL. Congress won't kill the NFL by eliminating the anti trust exemption. Lok at MLB--they have experienced major cheating and doping scandals. The latter resulted in players getting hauled in front of Congress for......nothing.

There aren't 100 people who will pay $20,000 for PSLs for outside seats.

Hard to say if they would have kept him. He played on only 1/3 of the snaps in the 12 appearances in 2020. In the 6 games before he was injured last season he didn't do much. He went on IR so no one knows what they would have done. He has no post-injury data. He's a free agent.

I wouldn't have thought you referring to animal studies. You state that non controlled studies results "may or may not have real world significance" and yet also state that control matched studies with statistically significant results which "may also not be significant in the real world". This is the basic truth of most of what is published all the time. It doesn't make them untrustworthy results.

Porquay......?

when you click on that it says his score is 9.7. Plus his agility was "poor" and so was his strength (bench).

I know you don't take a guard in the 1st....or do you?

This is his last year. I don't see how they give him a new contract.

the whole lot of them are punters...

Sham surgical trials aren't done for obvious ethical reasons, for the most part. The benzo test wasn't asking how they affect performance of the skills games, but the effect on the games as it relates to the concurrent MRI images. Comparing to a cohort not given benzos would have not been meaningful, as that was also me before I was drugged. Certainly being injured leads to missed games and losing starting roles and teams moving on. That would be reflected in the decreased performance metrics they listed. The inference is that, if the player isn't back to preinjury performance level, the team will likely move on. But let's say you matched with an uninjured cohort by age, position and number of snaps before injury. The null hypothesis is that the dropoff in performance for the injured player is no different than the noninjured controls? That the injured players were as likely to have a dropoff if they were not injured? While randomized controlled studies are "gold standard", not all queries lend themselves to this type of study. And certainly uncontrolled "before and after" studies are well known and accepted in the medical literature. Faulting the editorial review of this paper by this journal (some have here) therefore, is not appropriate. They understand the limitations of such a study--but they obviously see it as valid and congruent with other published similar studies on the same topic (referenced)
