Baylor poked it loose from Mutchersons hands Antworten

Former Pro Bowl defender Marcellus Wiley added his name to a lawsuit accusing NFL teams of illegally dispensing powerful narcotics and other drugs to keep players on the field without regard for their long-term health. "The first thing people ask is, knowing what happened, would you do it again?" said Wiley, currently an ESPN analyst. "No. No I wouldnt." The lawsuit was originally filed May 20 in U.S. District Court in northern California and amended Wednesday to add 250 more players, bringing the total to 750 plaintiffs. Wiley, who played in Buffalo, San Diego, Dallas and Jacksonville from 1997-2006, is the ninth player identified by name, joining former Chicago Bears Jim McMahon, Richard Dent and Keith Van Horne, Jeremy Newberry and others. The lawsuit, which is seeking class certification, covers the years 1968-2008. It contends team physicians and trainers across the NFL routinely -- and often illegally -- provided powerful narcotics and other controlled substances on game days to mask the pain. Among them were the painkillers Percodan, Percocet and Vicodin, anti-inflammatories such as Toradol, and sleep aids such as Ambien. Lead attorney Steven Silverman said some teams filled out prescriptions in players names without their knowledge or consent. He said those drugs were then "handed out like candy at Halloween" and often combined in "cocktails." NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league had no comment. The former players have reported a range of debilitating effects, from chronic muscle and bone ailments to permanent nerve and organ damage to addiction. The players contend those health problems came from drug use but many of the conditions arent tied to the use of painkillers. Six of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, including McMahon and Van Horne, were also parties to the concussion-related class-action lawsuit filed against the NFL less than a year ago. The NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle that case -- without acknowledging it concealed the risks of concussions from former players. A federal judge has yet to approve the settlement, expressing concern the amount is too small. Wiley, 39, was not part of the concussion lawsuit, but decided to join former players in this one after suffering partial renal failure in April, despite no history of kidney problems. Wiley said he took "multiple injections" of painkillers over the course of a season to cope with an injury that then-San Diego team physician Dr. David Chao diagnosed as severe groin sprain. After the season, an independent doctor diagnosed a torn abdominal wall that required surgery. "You cant walk into a doctors office and say, "Give me this, give me that, just to get through the day. Somebody would shut the place down," Wiley said in a telephone interview. "But thats what was going on in the NFL. Its easy to get mesmerized. I wont deny that; theres this play through-the-pain, fall-on-the-sword culture, and somebody in line ready to step up and take your place... "And the next question when people hear about this stuff is wheres the personal responsibility? Well, Im not a medical doctor" he added, "but I did take the word of a medical doctor who took an oath to get me through not just one game, or one season, but a lifetime. Meanwhile, hes getting paid by how many bodies he gets out on the field." Chao stepped down as San Diegos team physician last June, after the NFL Players Association called for him to be replaced and filed a complaint. An independent panel cleared Chao. In April, as part of a stipulated settlement, Chao was placed on probation by the Medical Board of California. His license was also revoked, but that action was stayed while he remains on probation. He was accused of committing gross negligence, repeated negligent acts and acts of dishonesty or corruption. Chao was also found liable of malpractice in 2012 in a case involving a regular patient, not a Chargers player, with a judgment of nearly $5.2 million. Records also show he has been publicly reprimanded by the board and pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. The lawsuits main burden is proving cause and effect -- that use of painkillers in the past caused the chronic problems the players face now. The players also would have to show that they are suffering those problems at a greater rate than other people their age, and that its not due to other risk factors such as obesity, smoking and family history.

Adidas NMD Mens Sale . - Ryan Spooner scored twice to lead the Boston Bruins to a 6-1 victory over the New York Islanders in a preseason game Friday night.Ames, IA - Bryce Petty threw for 336 yards and a touchdown and scored twice on the ground, as No. 7 Baylors top-ranked offense put up another big number in a 49-28 win over Iowa State on Saturday. With a couple of receivers back from injury, Petty completed 30-of-44 passes -- also throwing his first interception of the season -- and Shock Linwood rushed for 82 yards and three touchdowns for the Bears (4-0, 1-0 Big 12), who were coming off a bye week after winning their first three games by a combined score of 178-27. Corey Coleman played after sitting out the first three games with a hamstring injury and caught 12 passes for 154 yards and a score. Antwan Goodley, last seasons leading receiver, appeared for the first time since injuring a quad in Week 1 and had six catches for 114 yards. Baylor coach Art Briles said the plan was to throw the ball 60 times. We wanted to throw the football, he said. We felt that it fit our personnel well tonight. Sam Richardson was 17-of-39 for 212 yards and two touchdowns for the Cyclones (1-3, 0-2) and also rushed for 99 yards and a score. Baylor entered the game leading the nation in yards and points per game and ripped off 601 yards on 97 plays. The Bears also had the No. 2 scoring defense -- no big feat against their first three opponents: SMU, FCS Northwestern State and Buffalo. They ran their school-record home winning streak to 13 games, tops in the country by one game over Alabama and Northern Illinois, who were both idle this week. Baylor took an early 14-0 lead on rushing touchdowns by Linwood from two yards and Petty from 16. The Cyclones cut the deficit in half before the end of the first quarter on Dondre Daleys 11-yard touchdown catch. I think we all would agree thats a very good Baaylor football team that we watched tonight.dddddddddddd They will represent the Big 12 Conference well as the season goes along, said Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads. Im very pleased with the way our guys came out and played in the second half and quite honestly pleased with the way we finished up the first quarter. One of our goals was to start positively and we did that. Being 14-7 at the end of the first quarter gave us the opportunity to compete in this ballgame and we didnt follow that up in the second quarter. Richardson was under pressure early in the second quarter when he attempted a left-handed throw near the sideline. It was picked off by safety Orion Stewart and Petty connected with Coleman on a 25-yard touchdown pass four plays later to make it 21-7. Pettys first interception of the year came when he threw past Lynx Hawthorne and into the arms of T.J. Mutcherson. Baylor poked it loose from Mutchersons hands, but Iowa State fell on the ball. The Cyclones punted and Linwood followed with a 24-yard touchdown. Jeffersons 12-yard score later in the second quarter extended Baylors lead to 35-7 going into halftime. Richardson found a hole in the line for a 47-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, but Baylor responded with Linwoods 7-yard score at the other end to keep a 28-point lead. Petty added a 1-yard score while Aaron Wimberly had a 1-yard touchdown run and Tad Ecby caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from Richardson for Iowa States last points. Game Notes Iowa State matched a season high with a 92-yard scoring drive in the first quarter ... Daley scored his first career touchdown ... Baylor plays at Texas next week and Iowa State visits Oklahoma State ... The Bears took a 7-6 lead in the all-time series. ' ' '
