Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

FWIW, in case you aren't aware (especially for adults over 50), there are vaccinations for pneumonia; the CDC has information/recommendations on the available pneumococcal* vaccinations, etc.

*Pneumococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection caused by streptococcus pneumoniae. It can cause mild illnesses like ear infections, but also severe, life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia, meningitis (brain/spinal cord infection), and bacteremia (bloodstream infection)

Pneumococcal?

I thought that was an inflatable assist for a different kind of old-age problem.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

I've never taken an MLB swing in my life. Or a MiLB swing, or an NCAA swing, or a high school swing. I stopped playing after Little League.

Do you think I could hit a HR off a Reds pitcher in my first:
A. 25 games
B. 15 games
C. 5 games
D. Game
E. At bat

Yes but they'd most likely walk you first

2026 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

The logo protecting was the perfect example of the fake victim complex they love to portray. They dance on someone else's logo but when it comes time for potential payback (we weren't wasting our time with that though) they come up with some pathetic theatrics to try to make themselves look noble.

One of my favorite moments of The Game is those fucking dickheads protecting a logo Ohio State didn't give a shit about.

They spent most of the practice time that week coordinating that sad piece of performance art

Mileage may vary with stuff like this. Also, if you’re a professional race car driver, you likely have a higher risk tolerance/sense of invincibility than ordinary people so he might have been obstinate about insisting that he didn’t need treatment.
Maybe - I certainly didn't have much choice. That said, I do think it has a lot to do with that last part - he was refusing anything like treatment that takes him out of the racing.

It's something that his family will have to live with forever now.

So I reiterate - what the hell were they doing? You're not anywhere near normal when you have this severe of a case of pneumonia. Been there and got the tshirt.

Maybe he refused treatment - but his family hopefully at least tried to slow him down and get him seen/treated. And if a doctor did examine him and allowed him to leave with minimal treatment we might see a lawsuit sooner or later.

Just sayin - what's publicly out there doesn't jive with my own experiences. Someone fucked up - either Kyle, or his family or any doctors he may have seen....

Actually just got that vaccine. Changed my health insurance provider and, as a result, health care provider network, upon retiring last fall and the new doc recommended it.

Pneumococcal Vaccine Recommendations
Finally gave in couple years back with those.. but gotta admit, I am vaccine phobic now.. buried in my head I had buddies who did all the Covids (I did two) and major issues.. three with strokes.. whether factual or not, my perception and correlation to the vax#2 and beyond is buried in my brain..

PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G, All-American, 4X Captain, tOSU all time scoring leader)

Bruce this past season had probably the most efficient & well-rounded offensive performance of any Buckeye in history. If you look at his overall efficiency, producing at all levels & avoidance of negative plays, his performance was unparalleled. Based on career offensive win shares, Bruce is the best player at OSU since at least 1996.

Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

Was miserable hacking for about 2 months March/April.. went to Urgent Care twice.. "severe bronchitis".. antibiotics that did little.. just time...
was also worried it was going to elevate to pneumonia.. it was a rough spell.. added Mucinex amd ClearLungs OTC which helped significantly
Zero idea how I got it.. never had it before.. don't smoke.. was told I had no fever so I wasn't contagious.. so how the hell did I get it...
I always blame the gym...
i had the same. still a slight cough. i assumed it was some kind of corona variant. symptoms felt a little like allergies, though i've never had allergies. claritin helped.
