    In the last 8 years, I have had 3 open heart surgeries, one that included a team of doctors and nurses working for 13 hours to save me and spent maybe 5 weeks in hospital. My bill? $0.00 “Much better health coverage” simply is not true

    Letting the first two 24 second shots clock rum out on the first two possessions of the game, as chants of Kobe, Kobe, Kobe ring out in San Antonio is absolutely wonderful

    I have never heard of you before and am quite glad for that but you need to know you are blowing smoke out of your butt. I have had two open heart surgeries, a 13-hour procedure on an aortic dissection, see a cardiologist and GP whenever I have to. So, wanna talk? Talk facts
