I see people being very ugly and mean online this morning. Football is an emotional sport. Sorry a guy shows his emotions. We should applaud such a thing in today's day and age.

Here’s a clip of Gronk’s injury in 2015 that ended up being a Grade 1 knee strain.

He pounded the ground, rolled around, and yelled for 2 minutes. He only missed ONE game.

This was your reaction, @stoolpresidente.

I think the thing we are missing regarding Caleb Williams reaction to the injury yesterday is his love for winning, the city, and football.

A Grade 1 hamstring can cause sharp pain early on. Caleb didn’t know the severity, so the thought of the season going out the window and letting the city and team down probably weighed heavily on him in that moment. The offense dropped 59 in Week 1, and the Bears likely win yesterday if Caleb doesn’t go down, too. So all of those emotions factored into his genuine and authentic reaction. This could and still might be a special season.

But anyone calling him soft or saying his reaction was over the top is absurd. I can’t believe it’s even a topic.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare.

The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and other for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

It would also close state-level loopholes that private equity firms have snuck through, prohibit corporate interference with clinical decisions, and more.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

This is the federal version of legislation we have in Oregon. The law was tested earlier this year, when Peace Health attempted to replace their local, independent EM group with ApolloMD, a national corporate management group based in Atlanta. The EM group sued and won. The law works.

This is a way to protect independent physicians and preserve physician autonomy. Is the law perfect? No. One of the criticisms I keep seeing is that it doesn’t address non-profit hospital direct ownership of physicians, and that is true.

The Oregon law originally included hospitals, but the American Hospital Association lobby went nuclear and received an exemption for non-profit hospitals, much to everybody’s dismay.

One thing that is unique to the Oregon law and, now, this federal legislation is that it targets the MSO-PC model that so many hospital systems use to supplant independent physician practices. This is not just about private equity. This legislation is fighting a practice model that gives non-physician, corporate influence over clinical decision making.

We have dozens, if not hundreds, of examples of hospitals canceling contracts with high functioning, local, independent physician practices, and handing those contracts to these national corporate groups, who then staff hospital departments with temporary physician, NPs, and PAs with no institutional knowledge and no investment in the community.

Even though this legislation may not apply to hospitals directly employing physicians, it does give independent physician practices more leverage with the hospitals they serve. This bill also gets rid of non disparagement agreements and non competes.

If passed, this would be a huge win for independent physicians and communities who get to keep their local doctors.

It's getting s***tier because some d***head who's never f***ing taken care of a patient in his life decided, “Oh no, actually, instead of a human patient, this is now a commodity.”
