Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Zach Werenski Sends Clear Message To The Columbus Blue Jackets​

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski is living the high life right now.

In the last 12 months, he's won a Gold Medal, a Silver Medal at 4-Nations, led that tournament in points, won Gold at the World Championships, won the Norris Trophy, and become a new dad. With all that being said, he's still not content.

Werenski appeared on NHL Network yesterday to talk about what a wild ride his life has been in the last year. But he had one clear message.

"I think the one thing I've learned after the World Championships and after the Olympics was just how fun winning is. I obviously haven't had that much success in the playoffs here in the NHL. I want that to change," Werenski said.

He goes on to say, "I had so much fun on those teams (WC & Olympics), and winning anything is fun. I got reminded of that these last 12 months, and I just want more of that."

This isn't the first time he's said this either. He said it last year after the 4-Nations tournament as well. "I'm ready to make the playoffs and be an impact player in it. I don't want to wait too much longer." It's time to listen to him.

Zach Werenski has sent a clear message to the Columbus Blue Jackets that it's time to win. It's time to build a winner around Zach Werenski before it's too late.

With the news yesterday that Detroit Red Wings star and best friend of Werenski, Dylan Larkin requesting a trade out of the Motor City, that could mean a chance for Don Waddell to do something crazy.

I read that as "Do something to get this franchise into the playoffs or I'm out".

And no one can blame him. I posted something similar back in January.

ESPN: Ward 'definitely' wants to stay with Browns after Garrett trade

"I definitely still want to be here," Ward said Saturday at his inaugural celebrity softball game. "Myles is a good friend of mine, a great teammate, but things aren't lost. It's Ohio against the world. So people could doubt us, but we're going out there still trying to play our best ball and bring wins to the city."

Airport annoyances

I’ve paid $50K in ‘boob tax’ to travel — my size R chest makes flying economy impossible​

She’s booby-trapped in high-cost traveling.

Paying an arm and a leg for flights can be a major pain. But for Summer Robert, a frequent flyer with 55-pound, size R breasts, paying through the nose just to fit comfortably in an airplane seat is a budget-busting injustice, says the siren, who’s spent over $50,000 upgrading from economy to business class accommodations for extra space.

“There is a real physical and financial toll of navigating a world that feels increasingly designed for a one-size-fits-all standard,” Robert, 28, said in a statement, chiding the airline industry for imposing a “boob tax” on her full-figured physique.

Summer Robert says her size R breasts make flying economy uncomfortable, forcing her to pay thousands for roomier airplane seating.

“The biggest struggle is comfort, especially on a long-haul flight,” continued the buxom bombshell, an OnlyFans model from Scotland. “I always end up with the person next to me touching my boobs, and it makes both of us uncomfortable.”

She recently shelled out a whopping $14,686 for a one-way flight from Los Angeles, California, to Melbourne, Australia, paying a premium to make the 16-hour trip in peace, calling the added-on fees a shameless “money grab.”

“The lack of space in economy means I cannot do it,” Robert groaned. “Even something so simple like putting the tray table down to eat my dinner is so difficult; it doesn’t go down all the way.”

“I need to get business, or I won’t be able to eat my dinners on a plane or be touched by another passenger.”

As an Onlyfans model, Robert frequently hits the friendly skies, costing her roughly $50,000 in business class upgrades.

“I burnt my boobs literally two or three weeks ago,” she griped. “I spilled hot, boiling tea on them, and I burnt them completely. My boobs are red, raw, burnt right now.”

Beyond her financial and physical frustrations, Robert claims she’s often objectified by jerks in airports — including gate agents — making jet-setting a triple shot of “hell” for the VIP vixen.

“I want people to know that it isn’t all glitz and glam,” said Robert of her internet-famous orbs. “It’s fun for sure, I love my body so much, but there are definitely downsides.”

To be fair she's using her big cans to make money so I'd say it all evens out

Concussions, CTE, and other traumatic brain injuries in football

Steve19
Rugby = football contact without a helmet. The major findings of research here are that injuries are widespread across sports and most prominent in rugby. SA is a pioneering actor in promoting changes in sports that reduce traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

The SA Sports Science Institute is involved actively in promoting research on TBIs in sports and has links to Ohio State. Their founder, Prof Tim Noakes (OSU bio) recently was a keynote speaker at Ohio State on the opening of a sports nutrition symposium. He is a world renowned sports scientist having published more than 750 papers in his career.

There is a private SA initiative, Sports Concussion South Africa but the most active research is being done Stellenbosch University, the University of Cape Town, and the University of Pretoria. If someone on BP is interested in TBI research, I hope the information below may be helpful. These universities (especially UCT) have an excellent international standing in medicine. I used Gemini AI to summarize individual units within the universities:

University of Cape Town (UCT)
UCT bridges the gap between acute neurosurgical care and the psychological/cognitive side of sports injuries. [
  • UCT Neuroscience Institute: Equipped with major philanthropic and South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC) grants, the Neuroscience Institute studies acute head trauma mechanics, long-term brain health, and advanced neuroimaging.
  • ACSENT Laboratory: Operating within the Department of Psychology, this lab investigates the cognitive impacts, ⁠myths, and medical help-seeking behaviours associated with concussions among high school and university students.

Stellenbosch University (SU)
Stellenbosch University is a primary hub for sports-related head trauma research, heavily integrated with student-athlete tracking and international sports bodies.
  • Institute of Sport and Exercise Medicine (ISEM): Operating as an ⁠IOC Research Centre, ISEM frequently publishes epidemiological data tracking high concussion rates among university-level rugby players.
  • Clinical and Cellular Impact Studies: Researchers through the university focus on the cumulative cellular degradation caused by repetitive sub-concussive hits in contact sports.
  • Adolescent Athlete Databases: The university manages the ⁠South African Adolescent Athlete Database, evaluating TBI risks and injuries in youth soccer and rugby academies.

University of Pretoria (UP)
UP's focus is highly clinical, translating field injuries into localized sports medicine policies.
  • Section Sports Medicine: Academic clinicians here publish heavily on the implementation and adherence to ⁠concussion return-to-play protocols among amateur athletes and schoolboy rugby coaches.
  • Sports Concussion South Africa: Faculty members collaborate directly with this national organization to consult for the South African Rugby Union (SARU) on professional safety metrics.

Shit...the NBA's ratings have been waning the past couple seasons. This is totally on point for the NBA, they did the same thing with the frozen envelope when they drafted Ewing, except the league got behind Jordan a season or so later.

2027 GA DL David "DJ" Jacobs is a Buckeye!!!

calibuck
Not to be negative nelly, but any recruit that DOESN'T pay attention to this single history fact: What school puts the most players into the NFL. Specifically, the position which you play. If they don't know the answer to that question, the recruit might not have the smarts to play for the correct team....

On an interview, one can always score points by noting past successes/troubles at the company one is interviewing. Shows you care enough to research out what's what. Heck with the internet tools these days, if you don't research, that's also saying something.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
Like that this kid is taking his time. Certainly would hope he commits to tOSU, and believe he will, but certainly needs to satisfy himself, and his parents, that one is the best place than the others for his next 3-4 years. tOSU has put a bunch of running backs into the league, but so have other schools. Are there any interviews from him after his visit? Would bet he'll say the right things, and not denigrate any of the other schools he's going to visit.
