Dr. Gianis reacts to Hurts BLOOD CLOT Report | In the Building | EP. 665

DID THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES PUT JALEN HURTS AT RISK? Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay welcome vascular surgeon Dr. Thomas Giannis from San Antonio's Medical Vein Clinic for a serious conversation about the reports surrounding Jalen Hurts' blood clots and the Philadelphia Eagles' handling of the situation. Dr. G explains the difference between superficial and deep vein blood clots, the danger of pulmonary embolisms, the risks associated with long flights, and why playing tackle football while taking blood thinners can be extremely dangerous. He also addresses the unusual reports about Hurts being told not to sleep, explains warning signs everyday people should recognize, and discusses why the NFL Players Association is calling for an investigation. IMPORTANT: Dr. Giannis is discussing publicly reported information, not Hurts' private medical records. His comments are medical analysis, not a confirmed finding of wrongdoing by the Eagles. AND THE SPURS TALK IS STILL HEATED! After Oklahoma City handed San Antonio a 116-104 opening-night loss, Mike and Rudy are still questioning Victor Wembanyama's offensive approach and Mitch Johnson's decision to start De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle together. Is Wemby spending too much time on the perimeter? Is Julian Champagnie being wasted off the bench? And how long should Mitch Johnson give this lineup before making changes? PLUS, Whatcha Watching Wednesday returns with serial killers, reality television, books, and another round of completely unpredictable conversation.
