Per twitter: "NFLPA tells @treywingo depending on what MRSA containment report says, the NFLPA could advise Bucs-Eagles not to play this weekend."

If true, that's nuts.

Heard about it on AM radio down here. Tynes will defintitely file a lawsuit at some point in his life. Hicks is one of the est guards in the game...

“This whole thing is wrong,” Tynes said at the time. “My biggest emphasis is I don’t want this to happen to any current or future player. I’m going to fight this thing as long as I have to, because this team should not be allowed to do this to players. If I drop a 45-pound plate on my foot while lifting weights in the weight room at the facility, it’s IR. So I just don’t understand how my situation is any different. I went to work, I kicked, I practiced, I cold-tubbed, I hot-tubbed, I showered for all those days there. I come up with MRSA and it’s a non-football injury? They’re basically trying to exonerate themselves of this, and I’m not going to allow it to happen.”

"Tynes, 35, a Pro Bowl alternate last season, will remain on the line for at least two more weeks, according to his agent, Ken Harris, and for now is receiving his paychecks. However, by placing him NFI, Tynes is not able to receiver 401k matching or annuity benefits and also is blocked from accruing a season of service towards his pension, both which have significant financial ramifications.

Carl Nicks, the Bucs top guard, also was infected by MRSA, but he remained on their roster and returned to action in Week 3. According to union sources, their grievance claims that Tynes was not cultured for MRSA by the team -- causing a delay of over two weeks between when his diagnosis was made, and treatment began -- while Nicks was placed on the correct battery of drugs right away. Furthermore, the NFLPA claims that at least three other Bucs players contacted staph infections around the time Tynes got MRSA, and the union continues to investigate whether a member of the Bucs' training staff was being treated for MRSA as players were reporting to camp."

It gets onto surfaces at places like training facilities, locker rooms and hospitals and requires them to be completely decontaminated.

The problem is compounded because something like 30 percent of people are colonized with the stuff so even if a place is decontaminated it can easily become contaminated again.

If I'm not mistaken, that one and CDiff are real dangers, particularly for the elderly, at hospitals.

Aren't staff infections also serious problems for hockey goalies because of something related to their pads?

So assuming anyone took their advice, what alternative is there?

[JuTMSY4]

Realistically, I'd guess an alternate site like jax or Miami. maybe a college is an option?

[TRENT]

Its friday; any chance we get 9 home games this year?

I don't know how that would work out,

considering our Home record as of late..

Does that shit shock anyone?

[Sect 236]

I'm in Tampa for the game. Needless to say, how this story develops really affects me.

2 of 9 members on this board have MRSA. It colonizes and you will have no symptoms unless your immune system is comprimised. 70% of all nurses have it.

Cdiff makes you shit until your asshole falls off. Obviously the risks are dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

Thank you nurse Ratched!
