@CJSMonline Did you know motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death of teens and #ncaa athletes? Prelim data suggest slower reaction times on driving tasks in #concussion patients. Thanks @CJSMonline and @BJSM_BMJ for starting the conversation.

An example of what Dr. Phalen and I were talking about. If you or your child were found to be positive for COVID-19 please get evaluated by your healthcare provider before considering a return to athletics. Heart condition linked with COVID-19. https://t.co/vaa92g60KT

Apparently worrying about hypercapnea (too much carbon dioxide) from wearing a breathable cloth mask is a thing so here’s my normal venous CO2 after wearing an N 95 all day to remind you it’s really ok. Don’t let fake science enable unsafe decisions pls 🙏

Resection of as little as 15-34% of the meniscus results in increased contact pressure by up to 350%. The @RamsNFL Todd Gurley, & any athlete who’s had an ACL tear & likely partial menisectomy, I’m looking at you. Arthritis develops much sooner. #knee #sportsmedicine

Current research evidence suggests that running is not bad for your knees, and recreational running appears to actually increase long-term knee health.

Quick Research on team's investments in QB that make the Super Bowl. On average successful teams have paid their QB 8.24% of the cap.

Russell Wilson (before extension) was set to make 13.4% against 2019 cap.
w/ extension could be making up to 18.6% of cap in 2020.
