史達利傷退痛苦決定
Joe Staley quietly walked away from the NFL last month, announcing on social media that he was retiring from the San Francisco 49ers after 13 seasons because “my body is telling me it’s time.”
為舊金山49人隊效力13個球季，進攻鋒線球員史達利（Joe Staley）上個月在社群媒體宣布自NFL退休。他說：「我的身體告訴我時候到了。」●“It was a bunch of stingers. It got to the point where in the Super Bowl, I’d make contact with my head with anybody [and] I’d have from the base of my head down to my back my arms would go numb. I had herniations at a bunch of different levels and really severe stenosis.”「那種刺痛真的非常難受，在超級盃時，只要我的頭部碰到任何人，從頭底到背都會痛，整條手臂麻掉。我有不同程度的腦疝和非常嚴重的脊椎狹窄症。」
Stenosis is a narrowing of space in the spine, and a stinger, a common occurrence in football, is a restriction of the nerves that sends a shooting pain (typically with numbness and tingling), usually down an arm.脊椎狹窄症是脊椎內的空間縮小，刺痛通常出現在美式足球員身上；發出痛覺的神經損傷，整條手臂出現麻和刺痛的狀況。●“[The doctor] was like, ‘If you’re going to continue to play football, you’re probably going to have to have fusion surgery on multiple levels,’” Staley said. “I was like, ‘I’m 35. I’ve got kids. I don’t want to not be able to turn my neck for the rest of my life.”「醫生跟我說如果繼續打球，你可能要接受不同程度的融合手術。但我想，我已經35歲了，家裡還有孩子。在接下來的人生中，我不想要連頭都沒辦法轉動。」
Staley made it official in an April 25 tweet, and the 49ers were clearly expecting it, given that they traded for his replacement, Trent Williams.
史達利4月25日在推特上正式宣布退休，49人也預料到這一步，交易來威廉斯（Trent Williams）頂替他的位置。●“Last year should have been the pinnacle of my career. We had an absolutely unbelievable team from the culture to the coaching staff, front office, the players that were around,” he said April 28. “And it was like that the whole entire year. But for me personally, it was really, really difficult because of the injuries.”「去年應該是我生涯顛峰，我們從球隊文化、教練團到決策團隊到球員陣容，都好得讓人難以置信。」他在4月28日表示，「一整年都維持著巔峰，可惜對我個人而言，因為受傷的緣故，真的非常難熬。」●“I made the decision that for me, family and what my life looks like going forward, it was the right time, I guess if there is a right time away,” Staley said.史達利說：「我為自己、家人以及往後的人生做出決定， to step我想這是正確的時間點；如果有淡出賽場的最佳時機的話。」
在劇集「捍衛雅各」中，克里斯伊凡演出的是一個14歲孩子的父親。其實此前在電影「天才的禮物」（Gifted）中，克里斯伊凡已經演過「父親」，片中他飾演的角色在其姊姊去世後成為其女兒的監護人，並陷入了監護權之爭。而在「捍衛雅各」中，克里斯飾演的安迪處境將更加艱難，身為地方助理檢察官的他，將要面對親情和公義的兩難局面。安迪和妻子羅莉、兒子雅各一起生活在麻薩諸塞州一個叫做牛頓的平凡小城鎮，這裡毗鄰波士頓東部，現實中曾多次評為美國最安全的城市。夫婦都有不錯的工作，安迪是一名受人尊敬的助理檢察官，妻子在一家兒童庇護所上班。然而小鎮上突然發生了令人震驚的謀殺案，一名中學生「班」、同時也是雅各的同學，被發現身中數刀，死在中學附近的公園裡，這裡也是雅各上學的必經之路。安迪被指派負責起訴此案，但在和搭檔詢問了學校的學生後，他們都無法找出嫌疑人與殺人動機。與此同時，雅各對於同學被謀殺一事的反應，則讓安迪夫婦隱隱感到一絲不安。雅各告訴爸媽，自己跟班並不熟，而且他認為同學們在網上發表的各種悼念顯得很虛偽。隨後因為各種原因，嫌疑人的矛頭漸漸指向了雅各，一項關鍵證據的出現，更讓雅各正式成為了被告。
