An event in football (soccer) in the English Premier League where the teams who finished first and second respectively the year prior play each other for a trophy called the Community Shield. This normally takes place one week before the league itself starts.
Chelsea and Manchested United both finished in the top two again this season and will play each other for the community shield at Wembley Stadium tommorow.

What doctors and more often physician assistants put up when someone with legitimate chronic pain has exhausted all other options aside from opioids; potent narcotic analgesics. The reason for it is usually the provider has been harassed by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) into thinking they have some "quota" or max number of times they can write for opioids which is bogus.
The shield usually consists of blatant lies to patients such as:
"I actually can't prescribe narcotics..."
"There is too much of a risk of addiction with that product so I'm not going to prescribe it"
"Its too addictive"
"I'm not allowed"
Or commonly just a blank stare as they look at you as if you just asked for 900mg of heroin in tablet form simultaneously coming up with a way to avoid the topic. Ask any chronic pain patient how many times they've had to arm wrestle physicians for better quality of life.
John 19 years old had been a star power lifter and football player for 5 years, towards the end of his high school experience he herniated a disc in his neck resulting in severe weakness and shooting pain in both arms. After 12 months of pain management with full compliance and patience John showed little improvement in his pain levels despite trying everything his physician suggested. When he asked for something stronger his doctor accused him of being drug seeking and dismissed his requests. When John ended up with more pain he had to see his doctors physicians assistant since the doctor was too busy playing golf. The physicians assistant lied to John and told him "he could not prescribe pain killers", the PA obviously didn't have the balls to be upfront and John continues to suffer.
Earny 91 years old had been doing manual labor work for over 30 years and was hit by a car causing severe pain that could not be resolved with regular pain killers. His doctor refused to put him on MS Contin or any other pain killers citing the fact that he could become addicted. Even though Earny's health was rapidly deteriorating his doctor put his own agenda ahead of Earny's quality of life. Earny died a slow painful death which could have been eased with Morphine.
Narcotics are vital and legitimate aspects of medicine! Do not be an opiophobic shield to a better life for pain patients!
Origin is from ESPN's Pardon the Interrupton
Wilbon makes fun of Kornheiser's "NFL, right or wrong" defense of league policy, no matter how absurd it may be.
1) to blindly defend a rule, decision, or product, soley based on the fact that you're in love with it
"Don't say anything about how shitty AT&T's cell phones are. Bob's a former employee, and he'll bore you to death, defending the shield"
"Someone brought up Mike Vick, then Pat jumped in, and started defending the shield. He must be Roger Goodell's cousin"
The bottom of the curve that saves your grade.
"Hey you studying for that exam"
"Nah the meat-shields got me covered"

A kind of stink insect. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax which produce a polluted liquid (semen). This liquid is used to ruin purity and virginity in female primates. The face of the shield bug is made of plaster of Paris, and has no known function. Bandages impregnated with shield bug larva have zero added medicinal benefit and may retard healing processes. However, smearing shield bug antennae onto knuckles is an effective treatment for peripheral nerve damage.
Shield bugs have also been used to smuggle cocaine across the Mexico-U.S. border. Cocaine powder is mixed with shield bug ejaculant and sculpted. On May 12, 2009, a 7.6 pound crucifix cocaine sculpture was affixed to the back of a shield bug and successfully transported across the border.
The shield bug skin is sometimes worn in Boxborough, PA as a dress shirt for less casual occasions.
As Dean attempted to squeeze into a pair of 28W slimmer-leg jeans, he hopped backwards and unintentionally smashed a fucking shield bug into the granite floor.
Marge: “Hey Joe, look at that shield bug!”
Joe: “Prick.”
Haggs was considered a major player, until a shield bug finger fucked his fiancée.
