    Sure they changed the benchmark. I don’t doubt that given the handling of Gurley. The question remains is the new benchmark relevant for a NFL RB?

    Wouldn’t they test for strength around the knee before he plays?

    Apparently, they DID. What they didn;t know was how problematical that would be.

    And this is not just the Rams. The surgeon (Andrews) is heavily involved in the whole process.

    So this one looks like NO ONE knew how problematical it would be.

    To test without having an accurate benchmark is worthless. Whatever benchmark they were satisfied with was proven wrong. A RB is expected to do much more therefore I ASSUME the benchmark would be even higher.

    “Bradford’s knee passed all the tests, and looked good in action, but no one could have foreseen the lack of strength around the knee would ultimately caused it to re-tear.”

    Passed all the tests and looked good in action for a QB. Even more reason to be concerned about picking a RB with the same injury. Wouldn’t they test for strength around the knee before he plays?

    Not after taxes, agent cut, insurance, effect on health and taking into account who he wanted to be and the life he wanted for his family. I see it as the difference between giving a huge bunch of batteries vs. building and maintaining a power plant.

    Rams-Titans: Five Things to Watch

    NORM SANDERS
    News-Democrat

    Were it not for a dramatic tackle near the goal line by Rams linebacker Mike Jones that stopped Titans receiver Kevin Dyson just short of scoring, Fisher’s Tennessee Titans would have beaten the Rams in the 2000 Super Bowl.

    So Norm Sanders knows that the Titans would have went for the 2 point conversion and made it? What BS. Lazy writing Norm.

    I do not share your pessimism since it was the first preseason game and on a field on which the Rams didn’t want to play on parts of it. Relax. The work is what counts in preseason not the wins. No injuries is the biggest battle.

    I dont remember who Ran the ball for that Eagle team?

    Hopefully Gurley/Tre will help the Rams go further
    than that great Eagle team.

    Seems pretty obvious the season will come down
    to the OLine. Shocking statement, i know.

    Thats the spirit! Da Bears did have sweetness though. If Gurley has that type of career with the Rams, YOWZA!

    I disagree that there are two parties. There is one party. The inside the beltway party. It has two wings which keep up a facade of independence with low information voters. Look at the last republican debate in which topics of substance (war, economy, monetary policy, erosion of Bill of Rights were ignored in order to attack a specific candidate qualifications as a republican and suitability as president and reaffirm an anti-abortion stance which with other social issues are dropped once in power only to be dusted off again in time for the next presidential election. The democrat wing will not do any better. Each wing of the single party fronts with their media stooges the party power structure approved oligarchies to their respective low information voting base. So it is difficult to argue with much else.

    Medicine is not science. It’s an art. Too much is unknown about the human body. People are different in how they respond to issues of environment, nutrition, sleep or pain among other things too. The problem I have with blanket assertions applied to human health is that there are almost always outliers that defy the orthodoxy. It is these outliers which present an opportunity for far greater insight into the true processes involved in a condition via research.

    I know people who have benefitted from acupuncture therapy for low back pain. They swear by it. They’ve been on the pain medications and have lived in that fog for years before trying acupuncture. I would question whether this study thoroughly explored all possible avenues before making a blanket statement against acupuncture. All possible avenues can be claimed but passing time can give greater insight debunking past studies.

    While I would be loathe to let a chiropractor turn me into a human pretzel to treat an ailment I know people who have benefitted from chiropractic treatment. I know I’d rather try acupuncture first and drugs and surgery last.

    Well, the premise of original article in this thread that says acupuncture is a sham isn’t based on a single study. It’s an article based on the literally thousands of studies that debunk acupuncture. What your friends experience when they have acupuncture is most likely a placebo effect. See the second article posted in this thread.

    The problem is, even though the placebo effect may have given them some pain relief, nothing has changed for them medically. The underlying condition that caused the pain is still there.

    They gladly made that trade. It was acupuncture or surgery since pain meds no longer worked. Why wouldn’t someone try acupuncture if only surgery was given as the remaining option? I find the placebo effect interesting as it may be the case with the people I know. Perhaps the body can regenerate in some fashion minus the stress of drugs and pain? Since the placebo effect is recognized as real by medical “science” why not explore it further since it must hold the key to another path to pain free living?
