Not at all my friend. Effect can be used as a noun or a verb. As a verb, it is used to mean to "accomplish something" or "to bring about." Affect is a verb that means "to influence."
For example, in your sentence, you are saying that the heart problems are influencing the flow of blood to the brain, so it would be affect.
Really common mistake though.

boo that's not cool

One of my introductory journalism classes spent about a quarter of the semester going over misused words and expressions like that, and I subsequently became really OCD about stuff like that.

Miz please tell me you took it at AU and the class was "newspaper fundamentals". I took that in the first summer minimester and instantly thought about it with your explanation of "affect" and "effect". That. Class. Blows.

He is not. He is comparing him to two great college QBs who went on to be 1st round draft picks. He needs to just coach and have osu better than the way he left the Florida program and quit making comments like that.

Lulz. Braxton miller is a poor mans Troy smith

As a true freshman, Troy still didn't have a position. Brax is light-years ahead of where Troy was at the same stage in his career.
To watch his highlights as freshman in a predictable, pre-historic offense and come away saying he is a "poor man's" anything just comes off as jealous/ignorant, IMO. I seriously doubt there are many teams in America who wouldn't love to have Braxton Miller on their team.
Not saying he's better than Tebow, Newton, or anyone else at this point..but come on you have to give the kid SOME credit.

Play
Braxton Miller Freshman Year Highlights

Top OSU for years to come. With Urban Meyer's new offensive scheme, defenses won't look forward to seeing him for the next 2-3 years.

Wait, wouldn't effecting be correct because effecting is negative and affecting is positive?

Ridiculous.
Tebow (2007): 3286 passing yards, 32 TDs. 895 rushing yards, 23 TDs
Newton (2010): 2854 passing yards, 30 TDs. 1473 rushing yards, 20 TDs

I think Miller is a perfect fit for what Meyer will want to do and will have some success. Doubt he lives up to this statement though and it certainly puts a lot of undue pressure on the kid before he plays his first game for Meyer.

totally agree - gotta show it on the field before making any kind of statements like that

Even if you're a homer.. No way you can agree with this.. But I understand sticking up for your coach

Doesn't necessarily mean he's better. Meyers not that stupid.
