Who says baseball is a non-contact sport? Don’t tell that to Jose Abreu and Hunter Dozier today. Both left the game after a collision that would make the highlights of old school NFL “you got jacked” videos. Fortunately, both players got up and walked (with assistance) off the diamond. Of course both exited the game. By More
With the lack of offseason programs and limited training camp, there was concern that the NFL injury rate would be higher in 2020. Overall, that does not seem to have been the case. Of course, this is a small sample size with only one year of data. As always, numbers can be manipulated to “lie,” More
After just returning from a high ankle sprain, LeBron James said something that I have never heard an elite athlete admit. “It’s impossible. I don’t think I will ever get back to 100 percent in my career.” In my two-plus decades of professional sports and dealing with and treating high level superstars, I have never More

Chris Weidman broke his leg as he kicked his opponent in UFC 261. He suffered a clear tibia and fibula fracture creating a new “hinged joint” between his knee and ankle. Don’t watch the video if you’re faint of heart and certainly don’t watch what happens at the end when Weidman tries to stand on More
The draft is one week away, and quarterbacks are set to dominate. At least the top three spots will be signal callers. Many of the QBs come in with medical issues, including presumptive No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, and Justin Fields also has a seizure disorder. Here is More
Medical concern about projected first-round quarterback Justin Fields has emerged after a report that he has epilepsy. The former Ohio State signal caller has been dealing with the disease since childhood and is taking medication. It did not affect his collegiate career and should not affect his NFL career. There are many different causes of More
The explanations for the latest NFL and NFLPA actions just don’t hold water. I would prefer the league come out and say that they want to find a way to have everyone vaccinated and the players to just say we liked last season’s virtual offseason program. Instead, each side uses COVID-related safety precautions to justify More
On Monday, young Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. exited the game against the Giants after a swinging strike. By video, he appears to have subluxed his shoulder again, and it seems surgery is in his future. He initially held his wrist/elbow to support his shoulder. The follow-through of the bat hitting his scapula did not More
