Corp000085 Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Darn, is he out for the season? 785096[/snapback] well he hasn't lived through the night yet, but i'm sure when he's not critical anymore they'll assess his injury in terms of football.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Wow having seen chris simms play since highschool I hope he turns out ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Wheels Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 This is the first report I saw. The Bucs are denying that Simms is in critical condition, but it sounds serious. link Edit: Peter King just came on the NBC broadcast and reiterated what Corp000085 said.

Peter Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 The bastards at profootballtalk.com tried to paint him as someone who was afraid to get hit after the Ravens game. This kid sounds like he is tough as nails. I really hope that he is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably both. 785609[/snapback] Really. IIRC, the spleen in addition to it's lymph system duties, provides some kind of protection against bacteria that if left free, rapidly cause a deadly septicemia. Let alone internal bleeding.
