Nothing wrong? I guess the ride in the ambulance was just for fun.
You know things are bad for Jets fans when the most football satisfaction they can hope to achieve comes not from watching their team, but from looking for any way to turn any story into something about Belichick.
Note not one word from our Jets fan above about Ozzie watching film from the game – presumably including play calling.
Not Ozzie. He and Belichick are buddies. Ozzie was part of Belichick’s Browns staff from the mid-1990s that produced four GMs–Oz, Mike Tannenbaum, Scott Pioli, and Thomas Dimitroff–and three head coaches–Jim Schwartz, Eric Mangini, and Bama’s Nick Saban.
Glad to hear Ozzie feels good. Hope the docs make sure he stays good.
Looks like all the anonymous prayers on the msg board last night paid off. I wonder what would have happened to him without those?
Somebody showed him Joe Flacco’s cap hit in the third year of his contract.
Weird how things come in threes.
Now that we know he will be ok, he was probably sweating bullets on how to justify again to Steve B the contract he gave Flacco :).
The Wiz: we’re glad you’re alright, back in town and back to work. We understand the drain that this year’s team has caused all of us to feel! Uugghhh! Now let’s go stack some good days of prep and practice together and move on to Sunday.
I guess the reasoning for a G.M. to be breaking down tape would be to second guess the coach. Jerry Jones has the ability to do that right after the game, with no tape watching involved.
Good GMs break down tape to assess whether their players are performing at the level expected and to see what holes they need to plug. That way they can watch college games with an eye toward filling those holes. Ozzie is a very good GM.
Why would he want to watch game film of a bunch of last place losers?
Good to hear he’s OK. Don’t be surprise to see him check back into the hospital though after seeing Flacco’s latest passing stats. And realizing HE’S the one responsible for paying Flacco all that money.
Methinks he should have his blood sugar tested.
He doesn’t need to watch the Browns. Already played them twice. With tie breakers involved Ravens are actually 3rd. If you take away tie breakers its a 3-way tie for second place. But hey, you tried right?
What is sad is that the Browns and Bengals fans can only pin their hopes of success on the Steelers and Ravens having a down year.
To all the clowns making pizza and doghnut comments… Ozzie spends a minimum of 30 minutes on the treadmill 3 times a day everyday. Being out of shape wasn’t the cause of whatever happened. Do ANY of you workout 3 times a day…?

Daniel Keatings, Euan Burton and Charlie Flynn were among those involved in the Get Inspired Active Academy which took place last December.
Young people from across the country were invited to the Emirates Arena in Glasgow to get involved in different sport and activity sessions - as well as being able to put their questions to top Scottish sporting stars.
Sports included judo, rugby, football, track cycling, basketball, tennis and much more. Healthy lifestyle advice was also on offer at the three-day event.
For details on how to get involved in a sport or activity have a look at our Activity Guides.
“It was so attractive to be able to be in a role where you’re hands-on again, affecting policy that will immediately change people’s lives,” Austin said in a phone interview. "That doesn’t negate my experience on the Hill. It was wonderful."
Austin, a Georgia native, spent five years working first as a senior adviser and then as a deputy chief of staff for Rep. Frederica S. Wilson, D-Fla. She praised her former boss for working to create jobs and expand educational opportunities, but Austin said the inertia in Congress contributed to her decision to leave.
A number of national political, executive and legislative staffers have joined Mayor Muriel Bowser's administration, including LaDavia Drane, former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, who worked as director of Bowser's Office of Federal and Regional Affairs before decampint for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, and Bowser Communications Director Michael Czin, a former press secretary at the Democratic National Committee.
Grosso's office also added Jessica Giles, who worked as a legislative fellow for Rep. James E. Clyburn, D-S.C., to its roster as a committee assistant in September.
“Between our executive branch and our legislative branch, there are just so many levels of conflict that are not allowing good work of our staff and members to be effective on both sides of the aisle,” she added.
Austin said she has received advice from fellow congressional-turned-D.C. staffers, including the importance of being prepared to get right to work and keeping an open mind.
For Austin, working for the D.C. Council is a return to her political roots. While earning her MBA at Florida A&M University, she interned for Atlanta City Councilman Michael Bond, son of the late prominent civil rights activist and D.C. statehood advocate Julian Bond.
Despite a love of politics, Austin continued to pursue her business degree at the urging of her parents. After graduating, she worked as a buyer for Macy's and a pharmaceutical sales representative. After meeting Wilson at a fundraiser, Austin began volunteering for his campaign, which she saw as a way to fulfill her passion.
Her role in Wilson's campaign slowly expanded from fundraising to press work. When Wilson's campaign manager was diagnosed with cancer, Austin was asked to take the helm. And after Wilson won her 2010 election, Austin moved to D.C.
Austin currently lives in the Navy Yard area of D.C., and says she is looking forward to ensuring the District's economic growth benefits all residents. Of course, unlike in her past city council work in Atlanta, the D.C. Council has a unique adversary: Congress.
The District's political status allows Congress to intervene in a number of local issues, with lawmakers often attaching policy riders to spending bills, dictating how D.C. can spend its local and federal money. Grosso, who chairs the Council's Education Committee, has been outspoken about pushing back against congressional interference in D.C. affairs, and he authored a law Congress is still attempting to overturn .
For now, Austin is settling into her new role and focused on advancing Grosso's agenda of a more efficient government and for a quality education for every child in D.C.
A sibling of a four-year-old boy allegedly murdered by his mother and stepfather told a court they saw him being held underwater in a bath at the family home.
Daniel Pelka died from a head injury in March 2012 in Coventry after an alleged campaign of "incomprehensible" cruelty.
His mother Magdelena Luczak, 27, and her partner, Mariusz Krezolek, 33, both from Poland, deny murder.
The child said they tried to protect their brother from the pair.
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court saw recorded evidence of a police interview with the sibling, who cannot be identified.
The child witness was filmed sitting in a room filled with cushions and playing with toys while a police officer asked questions.
Ms Luczak and Mr Krezolek are alleged to have starved and murdered the primary school pupil, who was confirmed dead in the early hours of 3 March after paramedics were called to his home.
His sibling described how they would often ask for extra food so that they could give some to Daniel, who they said was not allowed downstairs.
The child said Daniel was not allowed to leave his bedroom to use the toilet and had been expected to defecate in his bed.
Speaking about the occasion when Daniel had been in the "really, really cold" bath, the child said: "[Mr Krezolek] bashed Daniel's head against the bath. He pushed him."
The child showed that Daniel had suffered a head injury and was asked whether Daniel was taken to hospital.
"No, I looked after him.
"[Ms Luczak] was holding him underwater. [Mr Krezolek] told me not to tell anybody. Daniel cried. They didn't do anything."
The child witness said they often saw Mr Krezolek drunk and said he "smashed [Ms Luczak] loads of times - 11 or 10 times".
They added: "He done some really naughty things."
The witness continued: "Sometimes he done it to [Ms Luczak] and she telled him to stop it and I can't because he... When he's hurt [Ms Luczak] I can't be brave because I am really sad and I think [Ms Luczak] started to be rude to my brother."
Daniel's sibling described one occasion when he could not be woken up.
They said: "I tried to wake him up but I didn't, I couldn't. I listened to his heart but it didn't, I couldn't, hear his heart. It couldn't beat.
"I shouted to [Ms Luczak] and [Mr Krezolek] and [Ms Luczak] shouted, 'what's the matter?' but they didn't come to see."
The child also said they would cook dinner for Daniel.
They said: "I had my money I got from the bank. I found a card on the floor. I used to go to a shop with my brother and used to buy things for him that [Ms Luczak] couldn't see."
Daniel's sibling was asked if they helped their brother with food.
Mr Krezolek and Ms Luczak have admitted child cruelty, but deny murder and causing or allowing Daniel's death.
The witness was later cross-examined by defence barristers on a live videolink, via an intermediary in the same room as them.
They also claimed to have hidden food, including toast, to give to Daniel.
"We had to look after ourselves," the witness told the court.
"I had to make food for him, I had to clean him up."
During cross-examination, the child told Stephen Linehan QC, representing Ms Luczak, that Mr Krezolek had hit Daniel, who had been put in a bath of cold water on two occasions.
The trial was adjourned until Thursday.
“I was driving home from work and driving over a bridge. I had had such a horrible day,” says Sarah (name changed on request). Feeling overwhelmed by her stressful job in healthcare, the Dubai resident had one thought running through her mind.
“I was shaking and crying, and just felt so worthless. I kept wanting to drive off the bridge. But all I could think about was how upset my cats would be and how they would miss me,” she says.
Sarah’s story isn’t uncommon. Many pet owners find that living with and caring for an animal has serious upsides. A study conducted by research organisation Ipsos on behalf of Boehringer Ingelheim pharmaceutical, sampled three groups of 3,000 people from five countries: healthy owners, owners with health issues, and owners with kids suffering from health issues. The findings, which were published in January, confirmed what many pet lovers have long suspected: dogs, cats and other pets have a positive impact on health, well-being and happiness.
More than 90 per cent of pet owners surveyed said their pets influence their quality of life, specifically in terms of forming a strong emotional bond that can help people cope with or overcome physical and mental illness.
Bina Shah, another Dubai resident, also understands this bond and admits that a street cat changed her life, a surprise considering she used to not like them. “Honestly, I hated them. I just found them creepy,” says the 48-year-old. “I used to tell my daughter that I’ll never have a pet. I could never imagine myself to ever be a cat lover. Sometimes I would walk away from places if I saw any cat around.” However, a chance encounter with a stray outside her home changed her mind.
It’s not only mental health that gets a boost when you own pets, as Sharjah resident Afreen (name changed on request) can attest to. After giving birth and going through many years in a difficult marriage, she developed depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She also began developing physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, joint pains and severe migraines, or what she believes was stress manifesting in different ways. Hailing from North India, Afreen says there is little awareness in her hometown with regards to mental health; and she didn’t find support from her in-laws or her husband, but rather from her kittens.
Most owners who have experienced such positivity, believe their pet-less counterparts are seriously missing out. “I think having a pet at home just means adding a new member of the family, who loves you unconditionally, and who has their own soul and personality,” says Caslin. “They won’t argue with you, and will appreciate every little thing you do, even if it just means leaving them a space next to you on the sofa.
The bodies of 40 pilot whales were found on India's Andaman coast in October, prompting an investigation into a military sonar system described as "the loudest sound in the sea."
Scientists suspect the culprit in the mysterious deaths, first reported in late October, is a low-frequency active sonar used to locate submarines and loud enough to kill whales and dolphins.
Whales and dolphins are highly sensitive to sonar, on which they depend to navigate and hunt. The sonar used by the Indian military was loud enough to kill them at 240 decibels, writes the Hindustan Times.
New research about the effects of loud noises on the nervous systems of whales and dolphins had fanned controversy over the use of powerful sonar systems by militaries around the world in recent years.
Off-shore sonar from Scottish wind farms has been linked to an increased number of whale beachings, writes the Telegraph.
The Natural Resources Defense Committee states that the effects of loud sonar on cetaceans, such as whales and dolphins, can include bleeding around the brain and bubbles in the organs — essentially a case of the "bends," the deadly condition most often linked to human scuba divers.
It's also suspected that the sonar makes it harder for the animals to find food and interact with each other, and can increase their stress levels to a dangerous degree — an effect similar to constant blasting of music at dangerous volumes for people.
Recent studies indicate that sonar does enhance stress levels in pilot whales, which are endangered.
CALL THEM DOPES The prison guards in the Arctic city of Tromso, Norway, could hardly believe their eyes. Two men outside the perimeter fence were cutting a hole in it. Then they slipped through. Perhaps they'd done it on a dare? Nope. It seems the break-in artists were trying to retrieve narcotics they'd thrown over the fence to incarcerated pals, who hadn't found the stuff. Since the suppliers were so eager to be "inside," prison officials will make it possible for them to stay ... if a jury finds them guilty.
NOW, IT'S YOUR TURN Malcolm Cornwall doesn't consider himself cocky. He's just confident no one will prove him wrong. The Sussex University physicist has spent 35 years counting the pebbles on England's Brighton beach, helped by a mathematical theory, the order of magnitude. His total: 100 billion, give or take a few. Now, he's challenging the public to find otherwise. But at the rate of one per second, he says, it would take a person 2,500 years to add them all.
Chinese women swimmers, who emerged as a world force in last year's Olympics, set three world short-course records and won four gold medals Thursday on the opening day of the Short Course World Swimming Championship.
The Chinese women, who won four Olympic gold medals and five silvers in Barcelona, won all four women's finals Thursday.
The record outburst was not entirely unexpected. FINA, the world governing body of swimming, has fully sanctioned short-course records only since 1991.
In the men's four final events, the U.S. set the only men's world record with a time of 3 minutes 32.57 seconds in the 400-meter medley relay. The old record was 3:34.86, set in 1992 by Canada.
The Americans were Tripp Schwenk, Seth VanNeerden, Mark Henderson and Jon Olsen.
