Holy fuck, T's & P's to Stafon Johnson

[Killian]

Barbell slipped during workouts and hit his neck. May be under going surgery right now. Had a spotter, and that guy may have saved his life.

[Laxplayer]

Heard that on the radio today. Yes he was undergoing surgery. Huge thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

[War Wagon]

What a sackless pussy. If I coached that kid, I would've had his spotter leave him writhing.

:shaking my head and chuckling:

This place is just evil.

Yikes...that sucks. I heard on the radio this morning that he's done for the season.

i heard something similar from common sense.

Slow your roll, Trapper John...from the things I read, it was up in the air what his status was going forward. It was safe to assume he wasn't going to play this week against Cal.

"If he dies, he dies."










Seriously though, T&Ps for the Johnson family and USC.

[indyfrisco]

Stories like this always get me choked up. T&P.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Stafon Johnson will be that man. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Who'd a thunk that 20 pounds could do so much damage?

No shit!

Nice apostrophe smack.

From what I heard it was 275 and not 20.

Stafons had a rough life, he was raised by his grandpa who passed away Stafons freshman year at USC (who he points to in heaven after every score) he used to have "big papa" written on his eye black for every game.
Hopefully Stafon will be able to get a medical redshirt even though this was after his 4th game of the season and can get the support from the Trojan family to get himself through this.
Medical redshirt rules state a playercan only play in 30% of the teams game, USC makes it to a bowl game and mathmatically Johnson as well as Fangupo and jones can all get medical redshirts

I think we will see Allen Bradford get a lot more carries

no wonder your son has a few ballet auditions lined up. what a humorless cunt.

heh, they just rebuilt his crushed larynx. he may even be out for the oregon game.

[Van]

Fuck you, M Club, for making me laugh despite myself.

[Van]

His verbal taunts would be subpar?

[M Club]

I wonder if SC will go after Massoli's larynx now since going for Dixon's knees didn't work out so well their last trip to Autzen.

[Van]

Watching the news today, they're saying it'll be six weeks before they even let Johnson attempt to speak. He's still on a ventilator, and his doc says that were it not for his being an athlete with a really well developed neck he would've died.

Christ.

Helluva week. Adding to the list of the injured/suspended, the big D-lineman Hebron Fangupo also broke his leg in the WSU game, so both he and Johnson are out for the season.

If anybody gets the chance to watch what happened to Fangupo...don't. Just give it a pass. You don't want to see it. It was fucking ugly.

[indyfrisco]

Seriously, why couldn't this have happened to Tim Tebow? I can see it now...Tebow runs onto the field with a neck brace and he calls the plays with sign language that He learned in a week and taught His team in 2 days. Maybe something like THAT could actually get the media to recognize Him.
