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

 

 

http://www.tampabay....fection/2224407

 

 

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

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.

The Bucs reportedly settled with Nicks for $3M. 

 

This article has a lot more detail behind the story:

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.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
