Lawrence Tynes sues Bucs for $35M

[Johnny Rockets]

Just some typical slow part of the off season MRSA lawsuit talk.....

Former kicker Lawrence Tynes filed a lawsuit against the Bucs claiming former Tampa Bay trainer Todd Toriscelli was the source of the MRSA infection that ended his NFL career in 2013.

 

 

*Updated with a new link that has more info*

 

Looks like it is $20M in future earnings and $15M in damages  

[LinvilleGorge]

$35M is ridiculous, but there was definitely a curious rash of MRSA infections from that Bucs organization a few years back.

Seems a little low.

[Mother Grabber]

oh, mrsa me!

[the butch]

Joke all you want, but the Bucs are in some serious heat over this.

[Pox 08]

Didn't the Bucs/Mrsa end the career of Carl Nicks also?  He was considered one of,  if not,  the best guard in the NFL before they got a hold of him.

 

Hope Tynes wins his lawsuit and the Bucs are forced to pay out the nose.   Ending the careers of two players is BS.

[pantherclaw]

I wanna sue the Bucs.

For making me sick while attempting to watch pro football.

[PandaMan]

Whatever happened to Carl Nicks? Dude got MRSA then disappeared

The Bucs reportedly settled with Nicks for $3M.

Tynes is alleging that Todd Toriscelli, a trainer with the Bucs at the time, admitted to close friends he was the source of the MRSA infections because he had MRSA and used the same hot and cold tubs and other therapy devices and equipment the players used.

 

Holy poo, a trainer knowingly doing that? Plus the Bucs just had to pay for a lawsuit by their cheerleaders about being harassed at work? What a classy organization.

They'll almost certainly end up settling out of court with Tynes too.

 

$3M settlement for ending the career of an elite OG at the age of 27?  Yikes.  Nicks got fuged big time.

If the trainer knowingly did that poo he should be banned from the NFL at a minimum. That poo can be dangerous & he was putting families at risk.

[Kakarot]

Nicks settled too quickly. Tynes probably won't get 35 milli, but he'll probably get more than 3

Get yo mrsa hands off me
