I see ~30 new rectal ca pts each year.
The average age has been plummeting. In 2025 it was below 50 for the first time.
Representative years to illustrate;
1996 - 64.8
2001 - 71.6
2006 - 63.2
2011 - 66.6
2016 - 58.6
2021 - 52.8
2025 - 48.5
@BrandonHudson35 You are obviously an expert, but there was almost a one second difference between the TV clock and the arena clock during the Kentucky versus Santa Clara endgame.
In most arenas now, it is. They have an additional output on the back of the scoreboard control box (which includes the handheld inputs for game clock and shot clock) that feeds directly to the TV production truck instead of an in-venue display.
There are more frequent updates during tourney play than regular season because an additional official is positioned with the replay system courtside who can make adjustments on the fly during stoppages without ‘challenges’ being made.
The clock in the score bug on your TV screen is NOT the arena clock.
A different human is operating the TV version. Disparity occurs frequently, but is adjusted.
X clock analysis is like parents yelling at a 9 y/o operating a Little League scoreboard. That’s not official.
For 38 years or so, my mailbox receives two or three items a week from the AMA.
I have never been a member.
What is the budget for this kind of thing? Those of you paying dues ought to complain.
@annieluvsgod We don’t absolutely know. I think increased obesity/sedentary lifestyle is most likely.
Some have hypothesized about changes in the gut biome related to various things like artificial sweeteners or processed foods or even microplastics.
@free_radical28 The abstract is in regard to ALL cancers and it notes colorectal as a special exception.
We don’t typically screen colon below age 50 so enhanced diagnosis isn’t a plausible contributor.
My post was one doctor’s experience but it mirrors available reports in literature.
@KColvett wait a moment I had it on good information that concern over the increasing incidence of young onset lower GI tract cancers was a baseless panic
🚨 🚨 BRAKING 🚨 🚨
This one is tough to even type out.
Oscar-winning actor Chuck Norris has past away. The most important and talented actor in world history, Chuck’s movies grossed more than those starring non-American actors combined
He is an American icon, and his record for Oscars will likely never be broken
We miss you, sir
@KColvett ...interesting, I've been wondering about this in my own practice because I started thinking I was noticing the same thing, but then wondered if it was my own recall bias. I should try to calculate average age as well.
@randomnonameguy@KColvett@stevemagness This is a crazy take. Nearly all Olympic male sprinters could bench 2 plates each side and many could do 3 or even more.
People don't understand world-class speed.
There is fast and then FAST. Most of those fast NFL guys you rave about are former 10.2-10.5 guys. That's fast.
It's a whole other level getting to 10.05 (Oly trials qualifier).
And a huge leap to 9.8 consistently (make Olympic team)
SoCon Nation we need your help! After long debates and arguments and not being able to decide on a Gordon Rodgers Glue Guy of the year, we have decided to put it in your hands! Vote on who was the glueiest all year!
@RoyPhilpott TN has a town of the same name 100 miles away, and NC also has one in addition to Greensboro.
The SC version is by far the largest Greenville, but Nathaniel Greene was widely honored, even if The Upstate can't spell.
If you are talking about Greenville, South Carolina, you can just call it Greenville. It doesn’t need the state specification afterwards.
Just one person’s opinion.
