According to trainer and co-owner Tim Martin, a necropsy performed on the popular Iowa-bred Tyler's Tribe (Sharp Azteca) revealed that his death was the result of a collapsed trachea. He died following a workout Wednesday at Oaklawn.  Martin said that when the trachea collapsed Tyler's Tribe was deprived of air and oxygen, which caused him to die.

His son is family, Payne has a 10+ year history with Cal and Tyler is one of his favorite players.

Quote from: rhames on Yesterday at 04:17:58 pmYou got so excited you thought you had an awesome retort you totally forgot to even quote who you were responding to.

Awesome job.

That was actually bait.  To those who think I was talking to them, well, if the shoe fits! Lol

One of the ironies, of course, is that the language is allowed & used on an entity with "elite" in the title.

Quote from: boogie07 on Yesterday at 07:34:05 pmWe all hope to eat words like that but if you were the coach would you honestly give her an at bat post season? Someone who is clearly struggling HARD or is ready to move on? And the fact on a 28 man roster there's NO ONE to pinch hit?

Do you think Coach D is stupid or had a severe brain fart?  Maybe she flipped a coin in deciding who to hit. She had her reasons and I'm not going to judge her. Maybe you're just a better coach than she. That would explain your criticism.

The House case will likely make most of this moot. House is an Arizona State swimmer, whose antitrust lawsuit is about to shatter any notion that colleges, the conferences, and the NCAA can limit college athlete compensation in any respect aside from agreement or intervention of Congress.

Attorneys for the players, the NCAA, and the Power 4, are neck deep in negotiations to drop over a billion dollars to athletes for the four years prior to 2021 when the NCAA enacted NIL allowances. If they don't settle for the estimated $1.4 million, then the damages at trial could be tripled. And the basic truth is that athletes are winning ALL of these lawsuits.

But here's the problem. They must resolve the FUTURE of athlete compensation or the first thing the plaintiffs lawyers will do is file a new lawsuit. Such a resolution will END these NIL cooperatives and state laws authorizing them and the shucking and jiving schools do that's different than the others. And the reason is the Power 4 schools and the NCAA are going to arrive at an amount, say $20 million annually per school, that compensates college athletes for their share of the embarrassing sums of money college sports generate.

Now as some have mentioned, $20 million is a bigger percentage of the Arkansas budget than it is that of Texas. But it's hard to cry when the checks keep coming, and oh, what about the other 50 or so non power conference teams in D-1 football for instance?

So NIL is going to disappear for athletes who take the money offered by the college. Amateurism is over. End of story. (Except there's also a pretty good chance that the players will have unions that negotiate the amounts and distribution directly with the NCAA and the Power 4 schools).

As for Title IX, it is almost a certainty that if Congress must act on the issue of athlete compensation, it won't be to say all sexes and sports must be paid equally. The principle will be equal PARTICIPATION, not equal amounts of money expended, and we all know why. A limited number of sports generate the cash. (Though that number is increasing). There might even be salary caps by sport.

Finally, unless you have a child or family member affected, or engage in thoughtful advocacy on behalf of others, you are a troglodyte if you have spent more than 15 minutes of your life in the last several years complaining or anguishing about transgender athletic participation. You are being manipulated by people who just like to make noise and smoke. And that includes some of the athletes you see on TV who can't compete anymore, so they are assuring themselves a future in political entertainment.

The excruciatingly TINY number of people involved in these issues, especially in Arkansas, makes anguishing over and passing laws over them a form of mental illness that you should discuss with your doctor. And if your local legislator demonstrates evidence of the problem, you should send him or her a card.

FINAL EDIT: While they are at it, they must assure that athletes have health insurance for life involving athletic injuries. I mean,why should employers or taxpayers provide insurance for somebody who got injured at work? There are some amateur athletes who play from 5th grade to 25, and they are a mess when they're done.
