Around the NFL: Training Camp edition

read about vikings players throwing up after seeing teddy's injury, said everyone was looking away and that teddy had to be sedated.

i heard torn acl and dislocated knee.

Teddy's family today credits the Vikings' immediate reaction and top notch medical staff for acting quickly. Trauma surgeons were brought in to repair his leg. The Femur basically jumped off of the tibia, and this caused his knee cap to go around to the back or something like that. They described it as like seeing a man who had been in a severe car wreck. He also suffered a complete tear of the ACL, MCL, and his meniscus as well. It sounds like the only thing holding his leg on was basically his outer layer of skin. Still can't believe an injury that bad could happen on a non-contact drill....

I think if people care about Teddy B as a person at all they just wish for him to live a normal life, it sounds like it will be at least 2 years before they even know if he can make a comeback or not. His NFL career could be over....

poor bastard. i wish him the best in life and in his career.

Really it seem he is a really great guy. Too bad what happened to him.

Calling bullshit on this. Sounds like momma is covering for him.
He needs to own up to his mistakes.

FYI, his dad is in de la soul.

Heard this today and was really, really sad. I do believe at some point in my life I will see the NFL disbanded as the brain injury from it cannot be ignored / continues to grow:

Tre Mason: Mom says head injuries gave NFL back mind of child | www.palmbeachpost.com (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/local/tre-mason-mom-says-nfl-back-has-mind-of-child-due-/nsLrt/)

Very sad to hear about Tre Mason. Rams haven't heard from him since December of 2015 pretty much, and his mom says due to repeated concussions, he now has the mind of a 10 year old. Scary because the dude just played last season...

Mason was an absolute beast at Aurburn. However right now there is no proof that his behavior is from football concussions.

What a stupid fuck, just ruined his career and hurt a 70 year old man. His second arrest:

This criminal doesn't belong on the field but in jail. Insane.

Football is never going away. It's too big to fail if you will.

Head injuries aren't a new thing, we just know more about them now, which is obviously a good thing.

Anyone who plays should now be fully aware of the risks.

Skull dude is going to get Romo killed.

I dont think its going anywhere either but I think it will change a lot.
Pretty sure it will morph into flag football within the next 30 years.

If the sports world was really so concerned about head injuries boxing would have been outlawed a long time ago.
