The NFL had two independent experts examine some NFL facilities to ensure the teams were doing everything possible to prevent staph. Among them was the Browns. AN NFL press release stated: "Each of the seven teams that were surveyed has a comprehensive, realistic and appropriate level of concern about the problem of MRSA infections in their players. And more importantly, each of these teams has developed an appropriate, reasonable and effective strategy for recognizing and controlling the spread of MRSA if a random case of infection arises in an individual player."

Golly, gee whiz, the NFL releases their own press release stating everything within their own multi-billion dollar domain of oozing yellow puss is appropriate, reasonable and effective? What a shocking self-serving revelation!
The two "independent" infectious disease "experts" examining the Browns data:

Did I spell pus right?
Crap, I posted the wrong one. This is the correct science lab video:

Alan, you and I have a tenuous relationship, but that was a hilarious post. Well done lad.
The Browns have done plenty to warrant criticism on a number of fronts, but I've never thought that they were negligent in guarding players against MRSA. It's just not in the Browns best interest to be lax with this. It's certainly not in the best interest of the world-renowned hospitals and doctors who treat these high profile athletes to be lax with guarding against MRSA.
You can say all you want about decisions that they've made in acquiring a team, but from the day that this team came back under Al Lerner, they have not been cheap when it comes to providing world-class facilities and care for their players. I believe them when they say the Browns are doing what they can to keep their players from MRSA.
LeCharles Bentley, Kellen Winslow and others may wish to blame the Browns for their troubles, but the reality is that MRSA is a serious health risk in any hospital and much more of a global problem, rather than a local problem caused by some careless sports team. The reality is that the Browns front office had everything to lose and nothing to gain in putting the health of their players at risk.
Infections just don't happen to the Browns. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady had infection complications as they have had to recover from their surgeries. Don't you think that their teams and doctors, and the hospitals that performed their procedures did their absolute best to protect them? (And their reputations.)
I'm choosing to save my sarcasm for what the team does on the field. I am giving them a pass on this one.
ZipsAlum, that's why more than just the Browns were included in this poor man's junior high school project.
The conclusions are obviously a self-serving farce. There are only 53 players on an NFL roster. That's it. Not five million and three. 53.
For example, when's the last time you went to those New Delhi bastions of locker room health, the JCC and the YMCA, and saw pus coming from anywhere else other than ass pimples? Where's all the staph?
I'm no scientist, but something is incredibly fishy. Which would explain the pieces of trout they had to remove from Joe Jurevicius' knee.
