Instead, he said he made the tough decision to seek treatment over his mental health. “I love football,” Madison told the Green Bay Press Gazette, “but at that point it was my health, and my life was on the line....

San Diego has posted just two winning seasons and never reached the postseason since rick-rolling became an Internet phenomenon around 2007, or eons ago in online years. It has regularly offered the promise of a turnaround. It has almost never delivered. So can this Padres team, which entered Monday 60-69, finish strong to move the organization in the right direction? Or will the club again slump to a sub-70 win campaign for what would be the fourth time in five years?...

Well, dust off your wooden bat and head on over to Petco Park on Saturday, March 15, to try to win Padres season tickets by hitting a home run.

So says an ex-Panthers player who keeps in close contact with some of his former teammates. Minnesota cornerback Captain Munnerlyn told Sporting News that the Panthers internally aren’t panicked after their 1-3 start. The reason is the belief that the division is still theirs for the taking even with Atlanta (3-1) having opened a two-game lead over Carolina, New Orleans (1-3) and Tampa Bay (1-3). “I’ve still got friends on the team and I still talk to those guys almost every week....

Parlodel binds directly to special dopamine D2 receptors in the brain, stimulating nerves that control movement. This leads to decreased prolactin in the body, reducing the harmful effects of hyperprolactinemia (a disease with very high blood levels of prolactin, a hormone released by the pituitary gland). In acromegaly, bromocriptine blocks the release of a specific growth hormone (somatotropin), decreasing its blood concentrations. Parlodel is a prescription medicine available as oral capsules and tablets....
