BuffaloRebound Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 WTF is with Trev Albert’s reaction? He keeps trying to talk through segment when Bruce falls backward? He could’ve been having a heart attack or something. Any normal person would’ve showed some concern. 1
Freddie's Dead Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 No idea why people still make fun of this. Passing out standing up, for any reason, is no laughing matter. Anything can happen when your head falls to the floor from 6+ feet up. Wasn't funny then, still ain't funny. 2 1
Nanker Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 I remember it like it was yesterday. Bruce had the flu. Hot studio lights and Nyquill will do it every time. 1
TroutDog Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I vividly recall this. This happens frequently in the military when people lock their knees while standing at attention. At the time, the team doc made clear he had the flu and was dehydrated. Could have been cover but having seen Bruce in person many times, I believed him. Thurman? Not so much. Saw him verbally b*tch slap two kids looking for autographs and my respect instantly fell. That was at Bruce’s golf tournament in Virginia. Andre was with him and said, “Come on, man.” Edited September 3, 2019 by TroutDog 1
HerdMenatlity1 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned. I laughed my but off. Watched it a 2nd time...same reaction.
Buffalo716 Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Why does the tweet say Bruce Smith RIP?? He is still kickin 1
SirAndrew Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 So, if he was really dehydrated from the flu, why was he doing a meaningless television interview ? 1
LSHMEAB Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Hahaha@ "Apparently Smith had the flu." That was awesome. 1

Expand Exactly, getting drunk before going on tv and drinking way more than you can handle seems more logical than showing up the flu. 1

Matt_In_NH Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 That guy didnt try to help him, he just watched him fall and kept going. I do remember this....vaguely. I think he was nervous.
