Redskins trademark update tl;dr: nothing happened of any importance.

The 8-justice Supreme Court is currently considering a case involving unnotable Portland all-Asian indie-electronic band The Slants. Federal trademark law allows trademarks to be rejected if they're offensive, or at least it did until The Slants convinced the Federal Circuit that that part of the law is unconstitutional (IIRC, by a general rule that excessively vague laws lead to unconstitutionally inconsistent application). The federal trademark office is appealing; that case will be heard sometime this term.

The Redskins are currently appealing a district court judgment against them to the 4th Circuit. The Federal Circuit case doesn't directly affect that because circuits are weird and have their own system of precedent. That case has not been heard by the 4th yet, but Redskins asked the Court to consider the cases together anyway. Today, the Court declined. This doesn't change anything about the Redskins case; it will still eventually be heard by the 4th and then probably appealed from there. By the time of that appeal, at least, we'll probably have gotten the Supreme Court ruling from the Slants case, which will probably have some significant bearing on the Redskins case unless somehow it's 4-4. But it's all going to be in appeal for the next eternity.

So Tevin Coleman has sickle cell anemia apparently and yet Dan Quinn expects him to play this week in Denver. That doesn't seem like something that is a good idea or even possible, right? Didn't Ryan Clark have his spleen removed because he played in Denver? I admittedly know very little about sickle cell but it doesn't seem like something you could take something for in regards to managing it and the altitude?

Couple things, first he doesn't have sickle cell anemia, he has the sickle cell trait. If you remember high school biology, you inherit half your genes from mom and the other from dad. Inheriting two genes that are recessive, confers sickle cell anemia. Only inheriting one gene for it gives you the sickle cell trait.

So what is the difference? People with sickle cell trait can and often do live perfectly normal lives. In fact, having the traits tends to confer some resistance to malaria, so if you live on a country where its endemic, then its actually an advantage. However, in a small percent of people with sickle cell trait, they will react very poorly to high altitude. Ryan Clark was in that small percentage and lost his spleen and gall bladder due to them becoming infarcted (blood flow was blocked) and dying. It is unknown how Tevin Coleman will react, but simply going by the statistics, there is a 99% chance he will be perfectly fine.

That's basically it, but if you want to know a little more about why this happens I will continue. If you don't then skip this. Sickle cell anemia is a disease where the hemoglobin (the thing that transports oxygen) is slightly defective. This causes the blood cells to become misshaped (they actually form crescents, or sickles hence the name). The problem is that they then clump together and essentially form tiny clots all of the body. If they get large and/or numerous enough, they can block bloodflow to a whole organ (the spleen almost always gets hit first). In the sickle cell trait, only half (and often way less because of the bodies other mechanisms for dealing with this sort of thing) of the cells have this problematic hemoglobin. One thing you have to know about hemoglobin, is that its shape is dependent on how much oxygen its carrying. As the oxygen leaves, it becomes mishaped. Not a problem for most people, but in the sickle trait along with hypoxia that little problem tends to ramp up and you go from being a sickle trait person, to having identical blood as a full sickle cell anemia person.

Well they traded up to the #1 overall pick and landed the best QB prospect in the draft so I don't think it's much of a surprise considering all the surrounding talent they have on offense already in place (OLine, Gurley, extended Tavon Austin etc).

Phobeste: Apr 9, 2006; never, like, count out Touchdown Tom, man

Interesting post with a lot of western mumbo jumbo masquerading as "science". here's another take: sickle cell trait is where all your blood cells are actually tiny crescent shaped knives coursing through your veins. you go to high altitude, you're not thinking straight and can't control the knives anymore and they just sorta cut whatever they can get their sharp little hands on.
