@RockyNoHands @DeadlyPG @Forbes Just so you know, there is NEVER any fee to be considered or selected for a Forbes list. (And we always say so very clearly, including the Accessibility 200.) As for SPOT, it never was recommended to me or our advisors. Please feel free to apply for consideration next year.

@DudeAdhd @antirrhivalenti @WorthWords @immacatnow @Mybraininajar1 @Philippa_Perry Opinion is not evidence. I presume someone who purports to value science understands that. I care about people’s opinions — more than you clearly have any idea — but I’m still asking for one piece of evidence that I did “massive damage”. Seriously. Try again.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@DudeAdhd @antirrhivalenti @WorthWords @immacatnow @Mybraininajar1 @Philippa_Perry I have to say I’m flattered that you feel my book had an impact. A simple request: can you present one — one — piece of hard evidence that the book did “massive damage”? I dare you.

Thrilled to contribute to Baseball America again after 15 years -- fun time to be a baseball fan in New York! #mets #yankees @jimcallisMLB

[JJ Cooper @jjcoop36]

I'm thrilled to have @alanschwarz back at Baseball America telling a story he knows well. Yes, we've had both New York teams in the MLB postseason before, but to have a 101-win and a 99-win New York team both in the postseason? That's something to savor.

Former ⁦NYT⁩ investigative reporter, ⁦@alanschwarz⁩ — who BROKE the NFL Concussion story 15 years ago, on Tua:
“We all saw what https://t.co/Hx8yAiI23S they’re saying,’Well, this doctor made a bad decision. No,the entire league OK'd the debacle.” https://t.co/suSrQBpHz3

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

Yeah, well tell that to Ted Johnson (@Teddyjradio), who he put into full-contact practice after concussion AGAINST medical recommendation and, according to Johnson, told him, "I had to see if you could play". https://t.co/kTsOxcVN4y

[Brad Sohn @BradSohn]

Paging Schwarz…. @alanschwarz … any thoughts here?

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

How fitting that game in London is determined by kicked ball going off goalpost and crossbar? ⁦@el_belson ⁦@BradSohn⁩ #doubledoink

Hey, interesting ad for #TedLasso on @athielen19 uniform. When did straight-out ads become allowed on #nfl uniforms/shoes? (Non-Nike, charity, etc.) I simply don’t know. @el_belson

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

Look folks even if majority of smelling-salt use is for non-concussion symptoms, that’s not the point. Vast majority of smokers don’t get cancer, but we care about the non-zero number that do. Vast majority of drunk-drivers don’t kill people, but we still want to discourage it.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@Heyguysitsguy @SimpsonsAdvice @JWyllie22 @ChrisNowinski1 I think a fair question is how often players take smelling salts not just for “tiredness” but for dizziness or headache they don’t want to report. Obviously that’s a non-zero number, given what we know about hiding symptoms. We’ll probably never know until players discuss.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@ChrisNowinski1 I’d love to know the moron’s actual affiliation … interesting to see qualifications and then what affiliate does with them.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

How about some actual *information,* folks? From @UConn: https://t.co/OCgJgAzpQ1 #concussions @ChrisNowinski1

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@Heyguysitsguy @SimpsonsAdvice @JWyllie22 @ChrisNowinski1 This is why I taught high school Probability and Statistics last year.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@ChrisNowinski1 My journalism approach to this, in my text to Chris.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

Easy re #TuaTagovailoa: Ask team/NFL/docs, "You often say you act 'in an abundance of caution' ... did that happen here?" They can't answer no; they must say yes. Then, "How did that caution manifest itself?," and how it qualified as 'abundance'. Checkmate. @ChrisNowinski1

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@BradSohn @ChrisNowinski1 @el_belson “Needed tests” … as determined by whom? Hospital? Team? Agent?

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

Shockingly ignored w/ #TuaTagovailoa is hospital release to fly w/ team. So 3 hrs after grotesque fencing response, motionless 10+ mins and gurneyed away purposefully immobilized, let's have him walk around jiggling his brain on busses/airplanes/cars. @ChrisNowinski1 @el_belson

[Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. @ChrisNowinski1]

This is a disaster. Pray for Tua. Fire the medical staffs and coaches. I predicted this and I hate that I am right. Two concussions in 5 days can kill someone. This can end careers. How are we so stupid in 2022.

@RyanSchroer1979 Hi Ryan — of course. Just send me an email, which is just my name at gmail. We’ll figure out how to do it. Thanks.

[Alan Schwarz @alanschwarz]

@RyanSchroer1979 Hi Ryan — of course, I’m happy to. Send me an email at firstlast @ gmail (my first then last name) and we’ll figure it out.
