Question What did he take?

Hi guys. I came over from the basketball board to discuss this. I was watching the Indiana-Penn State game today and I noticed that late in the third quarter, the Penn State quarterback came over to the bench and took two pills with some Gatoraide. It looked like an assistant trainer or someone like that who gave him the pills. He "poured" them out into the quarterbacks hand. Now they could have been just generic aspirin or something, but they could have been something else. I don't think the team would risk giving out something they shouldn't, especially when it might get seen on camera.

Any comments?

I have three comments:
1) don't know
2) don't care
3) don't have any idea why you'd bring it up here.

Ibuprofen, naproxen, Tylenol, allergy pills, Immodium

Maybe he has to take a prescription?

Why does it matter?

Something else?

Super duper Batman energy pills?!

I'm pretty sure all sidelines carry some form of pain relief -- the stuff already mentioned. One guy I know was working an SEC game and came off because he thought he tore his calf -- turned out to be less serious -- and they gave him 2 motrin or tylenol or something.

My money is on salt.

The activation time of non-narcotic, oral, pain medications (that is medication taken by mouth, not medication for oral pain) isn't going to be quick enough to alleviate pain that is significant enough to degrade performance.

So if we agree on these premises: 1. You don't give pain medication if the pain isn't resulting in degraded performance, 2. You don't give pain medication if isn't going to work quickly enough, and 3. You aren't going to give medication (a narcotic) that will degrade performance, we can probably rule out pain medication.

There are plenty of other possibilities, but in all likelihood, the training staff was working to prevent cramping by giving the player salt.

I haven't seen salt tablets since the 80's.

My guess
"Doc, I gotta headache."
"Here, take these"

Until the application of medication becomes a responsibility of field officials, I'm neither interested nor responsible for such matters.

You're not even going to ask them to share?
