Glavine also got stitches for a cut lower lip. He was to be released from a hospital Tuesday night and miss his scheduled start Wednesday night against Houston.

The accident occurred at 2:15 p.m. ET as Glavine headed to the ballpark for New York's game against the Astros. The left-hander had spent Monday's off-day with his family in Atlanta.

And who are you to say they are getting paid too much? What you believe is too much, can be too little for someone else.

dude no one playing sports deserves to get payed millions of dollars a year when there are people in other countries working 10000x harder and starving to death.

Well, there are quite a number of people in this world that are getting paid well more than they deserve for the job they do.

Being a professional athlete is probably one of the professions that more often than not generate way too much money for the individual.

Nonetheless, losing one's front teeth is a pain in the (you know what) and regardless of financial situation, noone deserves that ... :)

Dude, you're saying athletes get paid too much when other people work 10000000X harder and get paid nothing. My response is, life is not fair, live with it. Just like you could be getting paid $15 an hour and someone else doing your job and doing it better is getting paid $10 an hour.

what the hell are you talking about?

people here are so stupid i can't believe it.

This isnt on topic with the thread at all, it sucks that his teeth got busted out. I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone. I hope all ends well.

In response to StevoFC, considering the BILLIONS of dollars in ticket sales that these players draw in every year, yes, they do deserve every penny they get. If any of these people that you say are starving and are harder working are making their respective employers BILLIONS of dollars, then they have a right to complain. Otherwise, "Life is not fair, live with it."

PS: Just because people don't share your same views, doesn't mean they are stupid......you should know better :no:

wel its reasonable fair when you consider how many people try to be professional athletes. The chances of making it big and getting rich in being an athlete isnt easy, and only the most deticated make it because on the way, you dont get payed jack ****.

plug the fact that the chances of making it big is like winning the lottery in professional sports. :happy:

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
