Wade To Wear Mouthpiece For Remainder Of Career

[RealGM Wiretap]

The physical play of the Chicago Bulls has prompted Dwyane Wade to begin wearing a mouthpiece.

"I've been getting hit in the mouth too much," he said, "and I've been getting a lot of cuts in my mouth and I can't eat during the week.

"Getting hit in the mouth, and having to deal with these cuts in your mouth for two weeks, it's torture."

Wade said that the new equipment will be permanent.

Such a non story.

Groundbreaking journalism.

Poor Wade, the most protected player I've ever seen in the NBA.

I think he's confused -- those are cold sores from his herpes. A mouthpiece won't fix that, Dwayne.

I love basketball, but he's gotta be joking, complaining about contact right...

This is hockey player Mark Fraser's MRI

Maybe if he didn't do all that HGH he wouldn't have such a huge target of a jaw.

This fantastic piece of journalism should have been written from the perspective of the mouthpiece. "Wade's Mouthpiece to be Worn by Superhero for Remainder of Shelf Life" is a flashy title for starters
