Episode 135: Resisting a Rest

Episode notes

Juliet brings the case against her fiance, Tom. Tom is a “disc ultimate” enthusiast. He’s sustained several injuries over the past few years playing the sport. Juliet says he should take a season to recover and prepare to play again. Tom says he’s running out of time and needs to get back in the game.

EVIDENCE

Submitted by Juliet

Post-Achilles tendon surgery in fall of 2012 (he’s holding a frisbee, which he made me bring to the hospital).

Post- hand surgery in early 2011.

“Two pictures of Tom that demonstrate that Tom can still have a good time and be involved in Ultimate even when he can’t play. Here he is captaining the co-ed team out of Kansas City this Summer post knee injury, calling lines and having a grand old Ultimate time.”
