My knee-jerk reaction to the Simone Biles situation was to lash out against her as "quitting", but then I thought about it a little more and I realize who the F--- am I to have an opinion about what goes through a gymnast's head, especially after all the Larry Nassar crap that came to light years ago. She can do whatever she wants and we can deal with it. She's earned that.

LOL! Did you read that?

As it happens, Jordan did struggle with cramping at least once during his six Finals appearances. In Game 4 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz—just three nights before MJ's famed "Flu Game"—Jordan and his teammates succumbed to debilitating stomach cramps due to an error by the Bulls staff. Here's Roland Lazenby's account of the incident from his new book, Michael Jordan: The Life (h/t Pro Basketball Talk's Dan Feldman): It would later be learned that a Bulls team assistant had mistakenly replaced the players’ Gatorade with GatorLode, a heavy drink used for building carbs. “It was like eating baked potatoes,” explained trainer Chip Schaeffer. Down the stretch, Chicago’s players complained of stomach cramps and Jordan even asked to sit for a time, something he never did at a key moment. Jordan finished with 22 points on 11-of-27 shooting—without a single trip to the free-throw line—in Chicago's 78-73 defeat.

Jordan was able to follow up his "Cramp Game" with 38 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals while fighting through the flu—or food poisoning..

I'm not getting into this completely foolish debate, but dude, don't compare Jordan with what happened with Biles. The GOAT can't compare. Sorry.

yeh i misread it. oh well. i'm actually a big jordan fan so it was paining me to try to use him as an example anyway. point stands that getting BIG FEELINGS this girl stepped down from the olympics is so pathetic. *****ing on american olympians is cool now with y'all? weird times.

anyway, she's the greatest of her sport of all time. those tuning in for a nanosecond of her career and thinking they know anything is hilarious and sad.

Personal insult? Threats? Gross Generalizations?

How old are you? Grow up. People have diverging opinions. As for taxes, I assure you if you're in middle with us. We didnt mess that up. If you're in upper, its time.

Your comments reflect more on your character than mine.

Also, if you're at Neyland, I hope you choose to enjoy the football game. If you're looking for a fight, not only is that sociopathic behaviour infantile, it will land you in jail.

Why would you spend $45 per ticket to worry about something as dumb as politics? You do you though.

I have read all the posts re: Simones Bile's withdrawel from competition at the Olympics but I have tried to stay neutral on the deal. So I'll just say this and be done with it. Simone has been the face of women's gymnastics for several years now and no doubt one of, if not the greatest to ever do it. I don't follow or have very much knowledge in the sport but I do hate how it all shook out for her and the team. I don't know why ultimately she did what she did but I personally feel it was the wrong thing to do. Lastly, since she has several routines or moves that have been named for her, maybe they can name one more for her and call it Simone's Bile Duct and Run? just a thought

Definitely never left a game in the first quarter bc of…cRaMpS lol.

Remember the Time Michael Jordan Left an NBA Finals Game Due to Cramps?

Thought you’d be smarter than to make absolute statements like that after giving me **** about it.

It is actually a very complicated story. Reports coming out that Simone has ADHD but Japan would not allow her to bring her Meds with her under the country's performance restrictions. It was not her fault she had to bow out. Imagine how tough that must have been for her.

If that's the case, a lot of people have some apologizing to do.

I’m pretty sure they were allowed with medical prescription….. I have also seen them blaming using the drugs as reason as well.

Well-stated, and I do agree with most of it. However, I'd like to add ...
4. TEs -- Yes, Pope and Fant seem like the top 2 at this time, but don't sleep on Warren; I would like to think it is time for him to put it all together.
8. Similarly, CBs ... Sure, Taylor and Burrell heirs-apparent at this time, Hadden and Turnage if they can mesh in fast enough ... but also, Rucker, possibly fastest man on the team, and Charles -- looking forward to finding out more about them.

I really excited about Charles/Ruckers future in Knoxville!!!
