Hearing Tua Tagovailoa’s hip injury is serious. Hip fracture. Similar to Bo Jackson’s career-ending injury. Surgery tonight or tomorrow morning. Praying for Tua and his family. 🙏
This injury is actually worse than Bo Jackson's. Bo didn't have a fracture he just had a dislocation & that immediately went back into place on its own. What got him was avascular necrosis that followed afterward, which causes the death of bone & cartilage. He never had surgery until the damage was so bad he had to have hip replacement.
Tua had a dislocation and fracture. Hopefully not the end of the world as he's having surgery tonight.
Brett Favre actually had avascular necrosis in his hip from an injury he got at the east-west shrine game. He played ~20 yrs in the NFL, still runs marathons, and has yet to have hip replacement:
Last year lots of camera shots of his parents. I almost was beginning to feel I knew them. This year haven’t seen a single one. Did they upset the camera man? Thoroughly enjoyed the interview last year when Tua explained how his dad beat him every time he messed up on the field. Hope the hip wasn’t a byproduct of those beatings. [Reply]

That is one of the more cringe worthy things in sports.

People's insatiable appetites for constant updates on things has them speculating to a ridiculous degree on developments they know nothing about. He may have complications. He may not. Time will tell. [Reply]

:-) He should go back to college and get a degree in business. Because CK played himself out of a GUARANTEED contract with the 49er's. NIKE came to his rescue to support whatever agenda they are pushing. [Reply]
