Love seeing Josh in a national commercial. 

I just wish it was a Isotoner commercial (Marino reference for the youngsters on here), where he gives the gloves to the opposing defense…so when they grab his balls, their hands are soft.

That may be true, I'm still doubtful on his ability to lead a team. 

We find that out when we see him face adversity.

 

he’s getting a real early test these next few months

I'm no doctor but isn't "moving his extremities" not so much the issue with a concussion, that's more like a neck/spine concern?

 

 

They're b.s. ing. 

 

They and the NFL want to downplay the head injury. 

 

2 in 5 days.  

 

 

Notice they haven't even said the word concussion

I don’t know. personally I believe Bridgewater is as good if not better than Tua. I don’t see a downgrade but I am saying that meaning I really haven’t been very impressed with Tua to begin with.

That was my feeling last week. Tua coming back in the game wasn’t about the loss for me. They probably would have been better with teddy out there.

There are closer hospitals and another hospital is the official hospital of the Bengals.

Are the others trauma centers? 

[phypon]

Prayers for this young man.  He should never have been in that position.  Kind of sickening.

I don't know how hospitals work.   Is 1 considered high or low in this case?

 

Serious question.  Like a 5 alarm fire is the worst for firefighters a level 1 could be the same in terms of head trauma. 

 

 

5 alarm fire isn't the worst. Just a saying for describing a bad fire.  Theoretically there can be infinite numbers of alarms for a fire.

 

The alarm is just signalling that another firehouse is being brought in for coverage

 

I have seen a 6 alarm fire. Pretty spectacular when a large abandoned furniture nfactory caught fire. Engines and crews brought in from 20 miles away to cover the 40 acres of buildings. Just Tuesday I saw a 3 alarm fire in the small downtown area when a business caught fire on mainstreet threatening nearby buildings.

A regular Scott sterling. 

Not being insensitive to Tua. Just disgusted with the Dolphins

It's hard to go on thinking about or watching football or caring about this game after that.
 

 

Meh. I feel for the guy but I think you are being a tad dramatic with that statement.

 

I will have no issues watching the second half all the while hoping Tua is OK.

so who is gonna be the first announcer/analyst to say he should have not been out there to begin with? you know they all thinking that

U of Cinn has an excellent neurology program, that’s what Tua needs right now.

I’m wondering if Micah Hyde made a life decision instead of trying to play after his scary injury.

Speaking as an attorney, I would be shocked if the announcers have not been told already DO NOT TALK ABOUT THAT.

 

I mean from big shots at Amazon or whoever is in charge of producing the broadcast tonight

They just won't go there..you watch.

I think it's part of the spin to deflect from the fact that he should not have been playing. It "it's a scary neck injury, it could happen to anyone" that's a fluke. Instead of what we saw which was "Miami refused to pull him Week 3 with an obvious concussion, rushed to a short Week 4 game where he took a hit which made the concussion possibly life threatening"

Michael Irvin seems the type that could.
