**Turf** · 09-10-2007, 10:47 PM

ah damn that truely sucks... hope he gets to at least walk again etc..

**StickyGreen** · 09-10-2007, 10:54 PM

That really sucks, and I hope he can somehow miraculously make a full recovery, but that's the risk you gotta take when you throw your body around like that...

**LiveDose** · 09-10-2007, 10:59 PM

Goddamn that is terrible.

**bu((aneer** · 09-10-2007, 11:58 PM

never tackle with the top of your helmet..

**gooddomains** · 09-11-2007, 12:08 AM

that is terrible

**flashfire** · 09-11-2007, 12:10 AM

hits like that happen all the time....just some really bad luck

**sweetcuties** · 09-11-2007, 03:33 AM

Very sad and he won't be the last one

**swampthing** · 09-11-2007, 05:04 AM

where is that rugby son of a bitch who was posting shit the other day?

**Raul_Mallcom** · 09-11-2007, 06:37 AM

Ouch...I too hope he at least gets to walk again.

**TampaToker** · 09-11-2007, 06:42 AM

Very very sad i hope he does recover

**teg0** · 09-11-2007, 07:03 AM

Thats a tough break. Hopefully he'll at least be able to walk, even if he doesn't play football ever again.

**dissipate** · 09-11-2007, 08:45 AM

He'll never play a snap of NFL football again, hopefully he'll be able to walk. Sad to see someone like that cut down in their prime.

**Brother Bilo** · 09-11-2007, 08:47 AM

That really sucks. Nobody ever wants to see injuries like this on the field. Fuck, he just collapsed after that hit. What's worse, is that wasn't even the hardest hit on the field, the spine was just lined up wrong and bam, maybe never walking again.

**The Adult Broker** · 09-11-2007, 12:11 PM

perhaps this is why players are paid so much money, to take the chance they won't have a healthy life anymore

The doctor said the chances of that are very bleak. He is lucky to still be alive.

Here is the hit for those who didn't see it:

I'm watching Sports Center, and they just reported that Kevin Everett has made a dramatic turnaround and should be able to walk again within a few weeks to a few months. UM is my alma matter, and it's going to take a LOT more than this to keep a Cane down...

**NETbilling** · 09-11-2007, 02:12 PM

I saw it happen. Very scary and sad.

I realize this is a lot of money for most people, but he only got paid the minimum league salary, $300-400 thousand. I believe they should be paid more.
