  1. California is a two-party consent state. Meaning, you can not record a phone call without both parties consenting. I'm curious if the police had a warrant for taping the phone call. If not it could bite them in the ass.
  2. NFL will announce an investigation which will then take the entire season without any kind of real updates. Then they will announce a fine leading into 2023 season.
  3. If Dana White was the one orchestrating the whole thing, would it still qualify as tampering? After all, he isn't associated with the NFL in any capacity. Anyone know how the tampering rule is actually written?
  4. Train horn is in mid-season form
  5. We're playing their 2nd stringers. A clear trap game I fear.
  6. I agree with what you stated as a factor in the Kaep situation. However, I firmly believe that if he was a top QB, he would of still been playing. Lets not forget, he had an offer on the table from SF that HE declined.
  7. I realize this, but was it false? He was saying what we all already know. Haslam was just an idiot who outright admitted it.
  8. If you haven't watched Rich Eiesen's clip, go watch it. No one is implying anything, Haslam literally said it himself. Watson got a second chance because he is a star QB. Which he followed up by saying someone that wasn't wouldn't get that same opportunity.
  9. Haslam said it himself in the interview he just did. Watson got a second chance cause he is a star QB. Kaep's star had faded by the time he became a nuisance.
  10. I know it would never happen, but wouldn't it be great if no one tuned in or showed up to Browns games as long as Haslam or Watson was there?
  11. Just saw this on my FB feed. Looks like the stadium tour featuring Motley Crue, Def Leopard, Poison, and I think Joan Jett played at the Ralph the other night. Would of been a cool throwback concert. Maybe I'll catch them when they hit Cali.
  12. Wtf are these idiots thinking?!?
  13. They're playing 4D chess to get Arch in about 3-4 yrs
  14. Exactly! Anyone quoting the stats on his football cards and using that as an argument isn't looking at the entire picture at all. Speaking of being the fastest on the field, Bo's 40-yard at the combine even has legend around it. Some claim he ran 3.9, one scout actually said he timed him at 4.12 seconds. If piss poor medicine didn't ruin his career, he may have been the one to beat Walter Payton's career numbers. and YES, Bo was 10x the RB Emmitt Smith was. Emmitt had two things going for him, the O-line and longevity. He played for 15 years, which we all know is ultra-rare at RB. That was his specialty, not speed, not elusiveness, not power. Bo was a powerback with insane speed especially with his size. Put him in Dallas all those years as a feature back. That would of been wild.
  15. In the grand scheme of playoff tie-breakers, you are correct. But, when it comes to the 1 seed, they all matter.
  16. 1st game is the season opener, prime-time, against the SB Champs. You dont go into that game, with a new O-coordinator, not having some actual game-speed experience together.
  17. Some of us aren't just guessing. Being a critical care nurse, working in an ICU, I have real world experience and first-hand knowledge to make somewhat of an educated guess. Knowing that she spent ~1-2 weeks in the ICU and is undergoing rehab are clues. I can deduce that it wasn't trauma related due to the press release as well. Stroke is the #1 thing that would require rehab after stabilization and recovery given what we know. I'm not saying its absolutely it, but thats what I'd put my money on. Time will tell. They may keep her out of the spotlight for awhile if they want to continue to keep this underwraps since the signs of stroke may be very telling.
  18. Depends on why the HR is <60. Heart rate <60 is called bradycardia. Some people are bradycardic with a normal rythym and are asymptomatic. The problem is when it becomes symptomatic such as hypotension along with that rate.
  19. A-fib with a rate >100 is called a-fib rvr (rapid ventricular rate). This is uncontrolled and im sure you were put on an antiarrythmic to control it, keeping the rate below 100. Most likely amiodarone. People live with controlled a-fib and go about their daily lives. A common procedure to correct chronic a-fib is ablation. They basically kill the heart cells in the atrium that are misfiring allowing the heart to return to a normal sinus rythym.
  20. Yes. Typically those with chronic, controlled a-fib, they are on anti-coags to try and prevent this very thing. However, in an acute case of a-fib this very well can happen if they aren't started on an anti-coag.
  21. Yes. Blood flows in your arteries, because it is being pushed by your heart. It then travels to capillaries and into the venous system. Veins don't have a pump like the heart directly pushing the blood. In your extremities, especially the legs, your muscles contracting are what push the blood to return to your heart. With that said, when you are not moving, the blood tends to pool in the extremities especially the lower legs when you are sitting. Stagnate blood can form a thrombus (blood clot). If that blood clot breaks loose and travels, its now called an emboli, which can travel to your lungs and kill you within minutes. Emboli can also travel to your brain causing an ishemic stroke. Not pulmonary thrombosis, its a pulmonary embolism. Your terminology is rusty.
  22. Incorrect. First off, age is a risk factor, but doesn't rule out younger people. I cared for a 32 yr old last month who had a stroke. I also read an article recently about a kid in high school who had a stroke while at school. There are many factors that can increase likelihood. For women, birth control medications is a common risk factor. Hemorrhagic stroke = a brain bleed. Ie: a vessel ruptured causing bleeding in the brain. The prefix of "hemorrhagic" is from hemorrhage which means bleeding from a ruptured vessel. Ischemic stroke = a blockage of sort. Ie: a blood clot traveled to the brain blocking flow of blood to a section of the brain. The word "Ischemic" means lack of blood flow. If I had to bet, I'm guessing she suffered a stroke. This would entail a stay in the ICU and could mean rehab if it was severe enough that she lost use a side of her body, difficulty speaking/swallowing, etc...
  23. Well of course they have to staff critical care nurses in the ICU. Unless you have critical care experience you don't have the qualifications to work in the ICU. And of course its staffed 24/7, patients in the ICU require 24/7 monitoring and don't go home at the end of the day. There are few units that are not 24/7 in a hospital, OR, Cath Lab, Endo, etc... if you were at a hospital that closes its ICU because the critical care census is zero, thats quite a small hospital. I am a critical care RN btw, so it's not like I'm blowing smoke.
  24. Depends on the state if an NP can practice alone. PA's in every state must be supervised. Experience wise there can be a difference with an NP and a PA. At least when they first start practicing. To become an NP you have to first become an RN. Some states require an ASN (associates) and some BSN (bachelors). If you started with an ASN, you have to then complete your BSN. Then you can work on either an MSN or a Doctorate for you NP program. Currently, the minimum for NP is an MSN. However, that was supposed to change to a minimum of a doctorates, but thats been put on hold from what I understand. So your typical NP has many years of actual experience in the medical field, prior to taking the leap to become an NP. To become a PA, you only need a bachelors degree and it can be in anything. PA schools have pre-req classes, but your degree doesn't matter. There are some schools that offer a 4 year degree while simultaneously going to PA school, but not many as I found in my research. So essentially, you can have someone that got a bachelors in history, then decided to become a PA. My wife worked with a PA that did this. PA school itself is about 3 yrs.
