Former France, PSG defender Jean-Pierre Adams dies 39 years after falling into a coma

https://www.espn.com/soccer/france-fra/story/4469508/former-francepsg-defender-jean-pierre-adams-dies-39-years-after-falling-into-a-coma

Former France defender Jean-Pierre Adams has died at the age of 73, almost 40 years after falling into a coma following a medical error, his former clubs, Paris Saint-Germain and Nimes, said on Monday.

In 1982, Adams was administered a near-fatal dose of anaesthetic ahead of a routine knee operation, which caused brain damage.


The Dakar-born Adams had won 22 caps for Les Bleus in the 1970s.

He played for Nimes from 1970-73 and for PSG from 1977-79 after joining from Nice.

Today's stupid question- Where do tiny house people put their clothes?

We are having a kicked back Labor Day. We have on a show called Tiny Luxury.
Pretty cool different designs. The thing that I keep thinking is - Where do the clothes go?
One episode included a bar for hanging clothes but only one that I’ve seen.
I guess they add dressers and just fold everything.

Also, I’m surprised these designers don’t add expanding technology like a lot of RV’s have - once parked there are side components that create sleeping areas or just more room.

McKenzie Milton - pretty amazing real life come back just to play football

Florida State's McKenzie Milton leads 4th-quarter TD drive in first game action since devastating leg injury

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32157481/florida-state-mckenzie-milton-leads-4th-quarter-td-drive-first-game-action-devastating-leg-injury

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- McKenzie Milton, playing in his first game since a catastrophic leg injury threatened to end his career nearly three years ago, led Florida State back from a 10-point deficit to force overtime against No. 9 Notre Dame on Sunday night.

"It was one of those bang-bang moments," Milton said of being told he was going in. "You just got to be engaged and ready to go on the sidelines. It was time to roll. I didn't really have time to process any of the emotions or things like that. A job had to be done to give us a chance to win the game, and just came up short."

After Milton made his first completion, Travis was eligible to return. But he was suffering through cramps, and the staff ultimately made the decision to stick with Milton. Travis said that was fine with him.

Milton suffered artery and nerve damage, as well as a dislocated knee and torn ligaments, when he was injured as the UCF starting quarterback against South Florida in late November 2018. His leg was nearly amputated as a result.
