JerseyBills Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) This was pretty crazy to me , I wasn't aware he was in such bad health. Crazy around 2009 he was coming off a couple elite , outstanding , world class seasons at DT , getting a historic contract , to needing a new kidney just to stay alive. Wish him the best. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/former-titans-dt-albert-haynesworth-hospitalized-in-dire-need-of-a-kidney-013837285.html Edited July 11, 2019 by JerseyBills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You’d think with that 100m he got all those years ago he’d have been able to pay someone for a kidney. But I’m sure he wasted all that money on drugs and booze that caused his kidney damage in the first place. The guy was a dirty scumbag if I recall correctly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moments on the playing field huh... 7th dirtiest played of all time: https://m.ranker.com/list/dirtiest-nfl-players-of-all-time/prosportsextra Per wiki:Legal issuesEdit Arrest warrants were issued against Haynesworth in two Tennessee counties in May 2006 stemming from a traffic incident on Interstate 40. Both sets of charges were dropped in June 2006. The judge in the Putnam County case tossed the charges on the grounds that the alleged offense happened out of their jurisdiction. In Smith County, the district attorney dismissed the charges. In March 2009, Haynesworth was indicted on two misdemeanor traffic charges stemming from a December 2008 car accident in Tennessee.[39]In an accident on Interstate 65, Corey Edmonson was partially paralyzed after colliding with Haynesworth's car. Haynesworth was driving his Ferrari at speeds in excess of 100 mph when he struck Edmonson's vehicle, which struck a concrete barrier.[40] In 2010, Silvia Mena, a stripper from New York, claimed in a $10 million lawsuit that Haynesworth impregnated her and left her with no financial assistance.[40] In 2011, Haynesworth allegedly threw a punch to the nose of Joel Velazques, 38, of Leesburg, Virginia during a traffic altercation.[42] In January 2015, Haynesworth plead guilty for reckless boating charges. yeah. He’s just misunderstood. Was a fierce competitor with a few bad moments on the field and that’s it. And yes, all kinds of drugs and alcohol affect your kidneys. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I was only born with one kidney (called a horseshoe kidney, located directly behind my spine) and this is a constant fear of mine. I found out in college while getting checked for something unrelated. First thing the doctor said to me was don't play contact sports without heavy protection around back/ribs. Played football for 4 years and never wore rib pads ? Also said if I'm ever in a car accident, I need to have my kidney checked immediately as I could need dialysis asap if it is damaged 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 2 semesters away from graduating college and ultimately becoming a drug counselor , we once had a case study on drug abuse in the NFL . Mainly focusing on the over prescribing habits of drs in sports. Toradol is used at an alarming rate, especially in the NFL and at the rate prescribed, is known to have adverse effects on your kidneys. Also Real Sports did a remarkable piece on the prescribing habits of NFL team Drs about 5 years ago. They focused alot on Toradol n the risks of that amount. Great piece if you're interested in this stuff. I tried to find a link to it real quick but I'm a little busy with work.
