Finley......injury updates

Hey.

It's CPR.

Don't ask about the "C"

Nor the "P".

Or the D

That was an R, not a D. Clearly, the D stands for Richard.

If Finley decides to come back, I hope he runs in a different manner where he does not lower his head.  

Per WISN the plan is not for Finley to go on IR. It is for him to return within 4-6 weeks. Rodgers visited Finley in the hospital today and was "encouraged by the progress he's making".

Maybe this sort of thing will end the use of HGH in football.

I think some players are more prone to injuries due to how they play the game.  Play the game smarter, and perhaps have weight limits and get rid of the idiots who are consistently non-compliant with the rules designed to protect the health and safety of the players.  JMO, nothing more!

Brandon Meriweather was given a two game suspension (which he's appealed) after  posting a smug assed tweet Sunday night following a two flag headhunting day on Marshall and Jeffery that said he's "looking for someone to pick up his dinner check because he might be low on money".

Goodell tried to put a little teeth into player safety but it's looking like that was simply done to beat down the concussion lawsuits. Meriweather isn't learning a damn thing from sitting out two games unless the Redskins cut his ass (they should) because no ones signing him to an NFL roster after his time in Washington is done. He's a walking 15 yard penalty that can't play safety.

Step 1 is for the NFL to purge the trash and step 2 is for players to respect how and where to hit the opponent. I personally love the NCAA targeting rule and think that could be vetted out to be even better if the NFL would simply get it's head out of it's collective bargained ass.

I think it's easy to blame the NFL for jts lack of punishment, orpunishment in a timely matter.  But where the heck is the NFLPA on this matter???  Merriweather is gonna appeal the suspension and the damn union is gonna represent him.  Why isn't the union representing the players on the other end of his illegal hits???  We're not talking about off-field behavior with drugs, or other illegal/unethical activity.  This is about a multiple players in the league on the receiving end of illegal hits that are potentially career threatening.

Speak up and speak out NFLPA!!!

From ~7am today

if every info is false, what is there left to believe in?  How do I know Jermichael's tweet is accurate?

Everything I say is a lie.

Unless this surgeon examined JF or JF sent him all his Med Records and then extensively reviewed them how would he/she know? Sounds like this doc is speaking in general terms.

And yes, that's what he is doing:

Wellington Hsu, an endowed professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and practicing surgeon with offices in Chicago, said that in most cases when a football player suffers spinal cord bruising it is a sign there is something amiss in the spinal canal that must be corrected.

 

"If everything is normal there should be enough space in the spinal canal to absorb the force of that hit," Hsu said Tuesday. "If there isn't enough space, then the spinal canal doesn't take the jolt very well."

 

Hsu, who is a Packers fan and watched the hit Finley took in the team's 31-13 victory over Cleveland on Sunday, said he does not have any intimate knowledge of Finley's injury and was speaking only to the scenario in which Finley suffered spinal cord bruising.

how do I know this is sincere? 

I'll bet he makes it back around the time Cobb returns, and I predict he'll be on fire for the rest of the season....

Hsu's comments don't mention contusion due to torque.  Sounds like Finley's case falls into that slim catergory mentioned in the article where surgery is not needed.  Given that, even if he does play again this season I am still going to cringe every time he's tackled.

Everything I say is a lie.  Is that better?

"Wellington Hsu, an endowed professor"

Isn't this kind of bragging?  I am an "endowed" fan. 

I had to do a double take when I first read that too. I'm like what is this? An intro to a porno?

Wellinghung Hsu is endowed, but I don't have any intimate knowledge of the matter.  And as for Finley's injury, his view is that injuries don't happen unless someone is already hurt.  In other words, the whole Packers team is screwed.

And, if true, it points out the lie that that makes the statement impossible to be true.  

There is no spoon.

Yea but, it did not say he was well endowed. Heck all us males are endowed (except ) just some are more endowed than others. With a name like Hsu, I'm pretty sure he's quite a bit less endowed than the normal male. Just saying.

Back on topic.

He disagrees.

My name is Mudd?

I think Hsu's point is that despite the frequency and savagery of the impacts, spinal cord injuries are rare in the pros. Thus, when one occurs, it usually indicates an underlying susceptibility. Which would suck for Finley and the Packers.

Proof the NFLFU doesn't care about safety: Meriweather's ban shortened to one game despite a list of transgressions. Yup, they really do care...

Brandon Meriweather's ban reduced

Talking out of both sides of their digestive tract.

and let's not forget about the NFLPA working both sides of the aisle in this.

seems quite a few current NFL players would like to see Meriweather banned from the NFL as well - he's detrimental to their NFL careers.

the NFL created it's legend with a great many of what today would be illegal hits.

hard for a tiger to change its stripes...

Jibe.

Jive  Talking is for the Bee Gees.

Irregardless, I see the point you were trying to make.

Irregardless isn't a word, it's regardless.

For all intensive purposes, I was right.

....and I could care less.

Not sure what the statue of limitations are for all the incorrect phrases but no one should be getting away scotch free. Time to nip this in the butt. I personally would like to see a 360 change in direction or I'm going to end up in the feeble position. 

BK, supposably he's right.
