I'd certainly give him a better chance at success than most athletes have post career. He might be the next Magic Johnson. But as Michael Jordan has shown, tenacity and work ethic …

What? Of course they can wait longer. Wait until the surge is over.

You mean the field that predicted the last 80 of 8 recessions.

Trying many different supplements. Thought maybe I had mold in my house. Tested that. Maybe I'm allergic to my bedding. Got s new mattress and beefing. Thought it might be kidney r…
