Who is the Mendy Rudolph of the NBA today? Who is the Jim Joyce of Baseball today? Not even a part of people's conversations! But it sure as hell used to be!!

I am sure I am not the only one wrestling with this challenge: Where do we draw the line between science-based practice, and ‘airy-fairy’ or alternative techniques and practices?
