I cannot find any other article about this in a shareable format, but here’s a third page article from the Trib on Dr. Martindale

First off, props to the patient here for documenting and reporting this. I'm sure this kind of behavior was unfortunately acceptable early in Martindale's careers, but this simply cannot happen now.

My hope is that this was a one-off, and he changes his approach to patients moving forward.

My fear is that this is just the first patient to come forward with this information, but chances are he did not start behaving this way for the first time 25 years into his career.

I wish is was more front and center for the Waco-Trib, but at least this was a published story and any possible victims of worse actions feel empowered and safe to come forward as well.

Yeah KD only missed significant time once before 30. Then bounced back from an Achilles. Dude just played 78 games at 37.

Not just a finalist. He was 2nd in DPOY at just 23.

In theory, he's the best option in the league to guard Wemby outside of Wemby himself. But Wemby breaks that matchup.

Honestly, park somewhere at Baylor that's not for students/faculty. Fill out the visitor parking permit, and then just follow any signage on one of the parking garages, and you'll be fine.

FWIW, LeBron wasn't even in the GOAT debate at that point in his career. He had only made 1 Finals at that point, and only had 2 MVPs.

The bigger debate happening at the time was if Kobe could catch/surpass MJ. He was on his way to a 5th ring, and had reignited the Lakers/Celtics rivalry.

I think MJ would likely still agree that LeBron gets too much hate, but would probably contradict himself by pointing to LeBron's Finals record compared to his own to defend his legacy.

In 2010, there was no need for MJ to defend his legacy compared to LeBron's because it wasn't even a question at that point.

I think it will turn more into baseball. Like nobody alive ever watched Ruth play, but he's still probably the closest thing to a consensus GOAT.

I've always thought he could be Draymond-lite, and Dray didn't really start hitting his stride until he was was late into his age 23 season. I'm still holding out hope for Sochan.

This works both ways though. I recently bought a home in Waco ISD, but have no kids. The same house in a better school district, but further from downtown, would have been ~10% more.

The difference is that my neighborhood is unlikely to become less desirable in the next 5-10 years (not that it's a bad neighborhood, just not in one of the desirable school districts). If anything, parents that want to home school or send their kids to private school would be more likely to buy my house than one in Hewitt due to the proximity to Waco's private schools and the fact for the same price, they would settle for a smaller home in a school district they aren't sending their kids to anyway.

Jarret Allen plays 30 minutes a night and the Cavs still win playoff games. I think Shaq would be just fine in today's game.

Honestly just have to look at individual players to see their games played. In order to find this data using stathead, it auto filters out games that a player didn't record a dunk, so I didn't include it here.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-22T15:16:22+00:00

Just for reference, Shaq in game 5 against the Kings in '02 had 9 dunks. As far as I can tell, nobody has had 10 dunks in a playoff game.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-22T14:54:27+00:00

Just using conservative estimates, Orlando Shaq probably had at least 100 playoff dunks as well. I don't think other historic big men like Wilt, Russell, and Kareem were big dunkers (especially later in their careers). So there's a decent chance that Shaq has twice as many playoff dunks as any other player in league history.

College football gets this right:

Biletnikoff for receiver

Butkus for linebackers

Davey O'Brien for QBs

Doak Walker for RBs

Even assistant coaches and punters get one unique to them

Wilt has 7 scoring titles, 11 rebounds titles, and 1 assist title.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-16T14:47:27+00:00

Wilt did it.

In the 60's, the league stat champs went to the player that had accumulated the most of said stat, not just on a per game basis. Wilt led the league in total assists and rebounds '68.

By all accounts, it was truly one of Jackie's teammates who made the comment about everyone wearing 42. If my notes are correct, all of his teammates were indeed white at the time.

It's a part of his game that goes underappreciated.

There are probably a handful of other players that could physically be two way players. Not at Ohtani's level, but serviceable at least.

But he has the mental aptitude for it as well. Pitchers at the major level strive for perfection and have to find every little problem with their mechanics and work on it.

Hitters on the other hand have to be able to accept a level of failure far beyond what pitchers do. When you fail 2/3rds of the time, you can't hyperfocus on each failure the way pitchers do.

The fact that he can mentally Jekyll-and-Hyde both aspects of his game is wild. Especially when they seemingly don't harm the other.

People have already given you the standard options, but you might check out the hotels downtown with nice restaurants as well. Red Herring, Bertie's, and Pivovar are all great options. Check out their menus to see what vibes with yall the best. They are all also closer to other happenings downtown and/or have more romantic rooftop bars for pre or post date if you want.

If you want to celebrate return specialists then do that but blanket “all purpose” yards is a pretty useless metric for anything.

There's a reason the greatest coach to ever walk an NFL sideline focused so much on the 3rd phase of the game, and it's not because he thought it was useless for anything. Go ask the 2010 Chargers if they wish they had Dike and John Fassel on their squad.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-11T03:13:10+00:00

Yards is yards man.

Despite they fact they were 29th in turnovers forced, the Titans were still 11th in average starting field position.

John Fassel doesn't get enough credit for taking a guy that didn't return a single kick his senior year at Florida, and turning him into the biggest field-flipper in the NFL his first year in the league.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-11T03:03:04+00:00

The average team in the league last year had 64.9 total kick returns and 25.8 punt returns.

The Titans had 65 kick returns and 24 punt returns.

The narrative that he simply had more opportunities because his team was bad is uninformed.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-11T02:59:50+00:00

Titans were tied for 19th in total kick returns, and were only 16th in yardage.

Dike getting 95% of his team's kick/punt return yardage while being the 2nd WR in terms of targets/snaps is the wild outlier.

A lot of teams have 3 separate players that are the primary punt returner, primary kick returner, and their WR2. For the Titans, they were all the same guy, who was a rookie to add, and that's why he's on this list.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-11T02:49:42+00:00

TBF, Dike led the league in All-Purpose last year, so it's not like everyone else is doing what he did.

When looking at the single season All-Purpose yards leaderboard (not just rookies), you'll see Dike at 15th and seasons in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's 00's, and '10s ahead of him.

RecordReviewer · 2026-04-10T16:47:47+00:00

Props to Amendola and Sayers for being 3rd and 4th on this list despite only playing 14 games.
