Nets Player Stricken By Swine Flu

2009_11_cdr.jpg Chris Douglas-Roberts, the second year Nets guard, has swine flu, the team confirmed yesterday. Coach Lawrence Frank spoke to Douglas-Roberts, "e doesn't sound very good...All the measures are taken, now it's a matter of when he feels better." Players are being given Tamiflu as a precaution—forward Bobby Simmons said, "I went to the grocery store this morning, and a lot of people were coughing in there, too. It’s something in the air that’s going on right now. It just shows that it’s very serious, and we can’t take it for granted."

People have never coughed in grocery stores before ? I guess I better stop taking the cereal aisle for granted.

Wait, you mean that professional basketball players are at risk to get the same flu as you and me? That's rich!
