Youre always going to have, to me, those people that are going to be biased or not believe in what the enforcement model is trying to do, and that might be a small percentage.

Comment on Derrick Rose: What We Talk About When We Talk About Playing Hurt by MODI

Agree with Laura, thanks for local perspective, and welcome to POPSspot family. You know, I was at the 4th game of Josh Howard’s career with the Washington Wizards after he was traded. That was the game he tore his ACL and was in a contract year. He lost tens of millions that day, and I doubt that fans will supplement his inclome at any point down the line. Derrick should come back when he wants to.

FANTASTIC article. Jim, great work pointing out that we as fans have this mentality that athletes “should” play hurt without regard for their physical well-being being put at risk.

Great read. If Bernard had ever had a solid supporting cast, who knows? He did pretty damn well as it was. We all know Frazier never won anything or even really competed in the playoffs once Reed and DeBusschere retired. Some say Bing or Maravich didn’t win, but put therm on NY with strong casts and who knows? Frazier’s Knicks were .500 teams without Willis and Dave.

Comment on “Fatherhood”: Athletes Speak Out in Book by Etan Thomas by Tam Ryhal

Whether you’re expecting your first child or your kids are grown and on their own, being a dad is a new experience. When my wife was pregnant, we decided to have a homebirth. We hired a doula and two midwives. I won’t tell you how much it cost. According to them and other experts, labor was going to last 10-12 hours. My son had other plans. My wife’s labor was so short that the only other person in the room when he was born was – guess who? – me. After nine months of preparing to support my wife in the birth of my first child, there I was, with no medical training, serving as midwife, doula, and doctor. I fought off the strong desire to run out of the room as fast as possible. When I caught Joaquin, I experienced pure exhilaration and love. `,
