Jermichael Finley in ICU

Erebus · Oct 21, 2013

Apparently he's up and walking around now, but he had a serious looking neck injury yesterday. Isn't he the guy who couldn't completely commit to football because of this exact risk, and his kid wanted him to quit? His kid has a much stronger case now, and I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to hang 'em up.

Hope the kid is alright, hate seeing that!

Good grief. My prayers to Finley and his family. This right after Calais Campbell and his bruised spine, and Bennett and his 'lower back sprain.'

I hope my future kid doesn't want to play football. I'm generally in favor of letting children decide what activities they want to take part in, but yikes.

Yea, scary situation. Glad he's ok.

I hate to bring this up, since he was hurt. But he ducked his head into that hit, he caused it, but yet the defender got the 15 yard penalty.

Check out the picture, look how low the defender got and led with his shoulder.... what are defenders suppose to do now a days and not get flagged for making a hard hit?

Don't they teach ball carriers to get lower than the defender so they don't lose the ball? Probably just anticipating the defender going low so he gets low himself.
