Crazy, Cold Turn of Events for Manny Harris
Manny was recently waived by the Cavs.
The reason? Freezer burn on his foot made him unable to compete.
How did he get freezer burn on his foot? By stepping into a chamber that lowers to -166 degrees farenheit while wearing wet socks.
This is terrible to see as we all thought Manny had so much NBA potential. Hopefully he recovers in a timely fashion and can get another gig in the association.

Luckily, I doubt freezer burn is a career threatening injury.
December 27th, 2011 at 11:55 PM ^
Absolutely. I'm sure he'll land on his feet somewhere.
December 27th, 2011 at 11:57 PM ^
Let's just hope he doesn't get a cold shoulder.
December 28th, 2011 at 12:09 AM ^
Don't worry; I'm sure he'll just shrug it off
December 28th, 2011 at 10:08 AM ^
If I were a GM, his low FG% and high turnover rate would give me cold feet.
December 28th, 2011 at 8:55 AM ^
It's why, despite his height, that the jolly green giant's career didn't pan out.
December 28th, 2011 at 12:01 AM ^
... did you make something so meaningless your second post?
December 27th, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Sucks to hear. Hope he lands somewhere else.
December 27th, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
That's cold.
December 27th, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
GIRLFRIEND'S
December 27th, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
haha it's spelled wrong
December 28th, 2011 at 11:21 AM ^
It's a dead on sentiment though.
December 27th, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
Why would you go into a chamber that goes to -166 degrees with wet socks?
December 27th, 2011 at 11:39 PM ^
Why would a chamber need to go to -166 degrees

According to the article it helps to oxygenate the blood. Why wear socks at all they certainly aren't going to provide any warmth whatsoever.

I'd be interested to learn of any medical professionals outside Ohio put stock in this theory, because it sounds to me like some real morans came up with it.

The Cryon-X Machine is essentially an instant ice bath.
Icing muscles after working out constricts blood vessels, which reduces swelling... which in turn reduces soreness and helps recovery. I suppose if the blood remains in the blood vessels (and travels to the lungs as blood in veins tends to do) rather than pooling in the muscle tissue that would increase oxygen in the blood.

So could this treatment effectively combat 4-hour, Viagara-induced erections? (You obviously wouldn't want a sock on.)
December 27th, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
and he forgot he had them on lol but man I'm sad for manny
December 28th, 2011 at 5:06 AM ^
...if it requires wet socks and a Cryon-X. I dare anyone to find THAT in the Kama Sutra.
To the point of the post, however, this sounds like one of the famous / infamous one-in-a-billion scenarios for injury, and hopefully, Manny gets another opportunity somewhere. This would not be the preferred way to go out, I am sure.

Beware these newfangled science-ish devices. Why can't people just stick with safe and trusted snake oil?
December 27th, 2011 at 11:56 PM ^
...cures swelling and sprains.
December 28th, 2011 at 3:11 AM ^
That elixir cured me rickets and me "husbandry taskin'" as well. These kids today with their electronics and liquid nitrogen and such. Oh, and socks are from the devil!
December 28th, 2011 at 8:52 AM ^
I hear nick sabin has some top quality snake oil...
December 28th, 2011 at 12:28 AM ^
Could end up being a good thing. I'm sure not many players want to be in Cleveland.
December 28th, 2011 at 1:51 AM ^
this is a blessing in disguise.
December 28th, 2011 at 2:37 AM ^
December 28th, 2011 at 3:02 AM ^
At 1:07 this is what he should have worn
December 28th, 2011 at 9:09 AM ^

manny will be fine pending which team decides to sign him.I would love to see him land somewhere like miami,detroit or boston.those teams could use his attack the basket mentality,especially detroit.
December 28th, 2011 at 8:44 AM ^
I must be the one that saw very little pro potential in Manny Harris. Hope the freezer burn improves, but I don't think Manny was going all-NBA any time soon.
December 28th, 2011 at 9:07 AM ^
This never would have happened if he had been wearing Twin City socks...
December 28th, 2011 at 11:45 AM ^
John U. Bacon should've gotten a Christmas card from that company.
December 28th, 2011 at 9:23 AM ^
Justin Gatlin (US sprinter) suffered a similar setback last summer.

Maybe he thought it was a hyperbaric chamber? I for, one, would love to preserve my youth as is, forever.

Pistons could use another SG/SF tweener
