Mr Info 61 Posted November 19, 2018 43 minutes ago, Uncle Joe said: It's something that stays embedded in the memory bank. I broke my tibia and fibula in the wilderness 4 years ago. When I had a buddy on the radio he asked, "How bad is it?' I said "Think Joe Theisman". No more questions were needed. Tough break...literally. How old were you when it happened and how long until you recovered? Hopefully, you recovered ok. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your concern.. I was 58 at the time. I now have a titanium rod in my tibia and plate and screws in my fibula. It's quite the story and I should probably tell it in Off The Wall since this thread is about Alex Smith and Joe Theismann. Hopefully Alex has been as conservative with his money as he is with his quarterbacking and can think about "walking" away from the live action.

Even though I have a strong stomach, I understand how painful that must of been. This is why I have no problem with what LeVeon Bell did. yes til bell. He screwed himself and his team, he's not getting the money he wants and who wants a super self absorbed player on their team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What happened to Alex Smith could've happened to Bell. Would you really risk 50m to play for a team that's lowballing you? That's what a grunt would do. Bell played it right. His career could end at any moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His career could end at any moment. and it still could so what's the difference. He's never making this money back and no one is paying him over 14, he might as well retire.
