Jalen Thompson extended

[BritCard]

Yes, one of his rare wins.

I'm happy with this extension and the relative cost control for it.

Meant to ask. How's the.... Hip? I want to say hit but that makes it sound like your 70. Let's go with leg. Did you get back to the states?

 

[Card'em]

Agree with Chopper that signing Allen will cost less than Murphy and also think he's vastly underrated on this board. He played last season with an ankle injury that was so bad that he said it was basically held together with tape because his ligaments were torn. I'm expecting a big season out of him.

Not trying to bash on Keim, but he didn't draft Thompson through the regular draft.

By virtue of sucking, the Cardinals had the 4th pick in the 2019 supplemental draft. There were 5 eligible players. Team 1 thru 3 passed. Then Thompson was picked up by the Cardinals, the only player taken. This kind of fell into Keim's lap.

That’s not how the supplemental draft works. It’s a bidding system where teams put in the highest pick they’d be willing to use in the player.

The NFL doesn’t call each team. This is probably the purest form of drafting for value.

My bad. Sorry Keim.

…but enough about Hamilton.

Well done, sir!

Haha technically it's the pelvis, but that sounds even worse. So, it's odd - the side that I broke, the right, is doing pretty great. Honestly, I'm close to pain free (even though I'm not allowed to walk on it for a good while still), and I have a follow-up on Wednesday to check my progress from my x-ray last week. The problem is, I was having left leg/hip/back pain before this injury, and having to use that as my primary leg with crutches is devastatingly painful, but I'm having a hell of a time getting any doctors to treat it or getting my insurance to accept it's a problem.

So, yeah, back in the states, thanks for asking - but I'm looking at October before I can walk and honestly I don't know what physical therapy is going to look like when only one side is authorized for treatment but I don't have full strength in the other.

God bless the USA...

Thanks for asking!

USA healthcare is bloody weird. How can you have pain on your left but nobody "accepts" it? Do they think you're making it up?

The issue is really insurance... I have to see a primary care doctor to get referred to anyone, so regardless of the fact I had x-rays and a CT scan from the UK, I had to go to my main doctor, who said "okay, it's broken," to get an appointment with the orthopedic specialist, instead of just calling them directly. Then, when I complained about the left leg pain, the specialist told me I had to go back to my primary care doctor and get him to provide a new referral saying I had left leg pain, otherwise he was literally not allowed to even talk to me about the left side without insurance not covering it.

Then the primary care doctor told me he'd revise the referral, and he called it "chronic bursitis," which doesn't cover that it might be nerve pain, a congenital condition, or something else... and the revised referral wasn't enough, I needed a new referral. Which he hasn't put in the system, so the specialist still can't talk to me about the pain unless it is indeed bursitis.

So weird. It's just gotta be really specific in the most generic way.

Jalen Thompson, whose name you may not know, got a $40 million contract extension from the Arizona Cardinals. Here’s why he’s worth it.

That's just lousy insurance. Are you in an HMO? I never, ever have to get referrals.

i wonder if part of Keims seeming indifference to the CB room is that J Thompson is going to end up playing some corner in certain match ups / coverages

Focus. You can do this.

Yeah, I'm in an HMO. I guess that's what I get for cutting costs. Outside of the referrals thing though, I've always had terrible experiences with insurance.

Anyways, sorry for derailing the thread!
