re: Mal Moore steps down effective immediately

Moore can't even consider dying until he contributes all he has to offer to a comprehensive biography. I really, really want to hear the stories he has to tell.

I'd give him two stars. That new Arena is damn nice.

There are some youtubes of former players/coaches sitting around telling Bear stories. Mal's story about Bear telling him to run the reverse is hilarious.

Sorry to hear it's health issues. I was thinking maybe Saban made that arse quit.

He as hospitalized last August with something similar and last week was hospitalized again. Its very serious and we're all hoping he can get well soon.

EAD. I already said I didn't know he was sick.

Mal Moore steps down effective immediately

You just quoted Clay Travis. He literally doesn't know anything.


I didn't say he was right. Unfortunately, lots of twenty-something year old Vol fans see and talk about what he writes.

pulmonary embolism What exactly is that?

---

When you have blood clots form in your lower extremities and they break free from their location and go up the body they can land one of two places, in the head for a stroke or in the lungs for a pulmonary embolism. It's basically a blood clot that blocks the pulmonary artery from freely oxygenating the blood in the lungs. It can be fatal for anybody but especially so for people that are elderly.

They can put a screen in to prevent the clot from going to the heart, but it can still damage other organs, but can prevent death. It would still mean that it is best that he have a less stressful job and responsibilities.

The filter's a preventative measure. It goes in the inferior vena cava to keep a clot from passing into the heart from somewhere else in the body. They usually put it in people that are at serious risk for PEs and can't take blood thinners.

If he's got a PE, something has already passed through the heart and lodged somewhere in the pulmonary artery so there are two issues - how to get rid of the current blockage and how to keep it from happening again.

Just to be clear, a PE isn't necessarily a blood clot. It usually is and given Mal's age it would almost certainly the case for him, but they can come from air bubbles (happens to divers) or anything else (fat, for example) that finds it's way into the bloodstream.
