Joe Jurevicius

So do you think this means he won't play for us this year?....................................... just kidding..

Business is business, and JJ is doing what he has to do to provide for his, and his families future. Nothing different then any one of us would do.

Please.. don't lump the rest of us in with Joe J and the rest of our overlitigious society. I for one would NEVER sue the Browns for that. That's just how I believe it's done. I suppose he is going to blame his initial knee injury on them somehow too. Whiner.

1) He'll never win this case unless he can show there was a deviation from a standard of care. The Browns brought in an outside agency to clean the facility but ultimately the responsibility for cleanliness winds up with the individuals. Staph lives on our skin so it's naturally there; remember that there is a difference between staph and drug-resistant staph.
2) The cases of resistant staph (MRSA) are usually associated with the Browns in the media, however, I have it on first hand authority that every single team has had one and last year there was a team that had five (and it wasn't the Browns).

Go get 'em Joe and LCB!
Make those bastards accountable for their negligence.

No one said he had an "open wound". Second, these weren't dirty scalpels or operative instruments. He used the rehab equipment (weight machines, etc). Not to disparage his problem but Jurevicius could have gotten resistant staph from picking his nose. Even in the best of circumstances, staph is exceptionally hard to eradicate without essentially perfect hygiene. If you are trying to get rid of it from a place where people sweat a lot it's almost impossible.

Jurevicius underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Jan. 7, 2008 and began his post-operative rehab at the Browns facility. On Jan. 21, 2008, his right knee became swollen, he was unable to walk, and he experienced severe shaking and chills. The next day he was diagnosed with a staph infection. Since that time he has undergone seven medical procedures designed to eradicate the staph.
It's not just a problem with certain teams in the NFL its a problem in the entire league. Some more so than others.
Jurevicius' staph infection was one of seven "publicized" incidents of staph infection the Browns have had since 2003.
By the sounds of that statement there could be more cases that were kept hush, hush.

They'll settle before it gets to court.

That's fine with me, as I stated previously. But suing the team???????

Well the only obvious thing is BOTH side didn't take all the neccessary precautions.

Very true. Staph is on the rise all through out the country.

Joe defended many things no one else cared to, and spoke out on other taboo topics he felt needed voiced. if this is what avenue he's decided to pursue, that's more than enough for me.

disagree. taking a bath once a month doesn't qualify as good hygiene either, does it? with the money available there's no reason why they couldn't hire a ball boy-level equipment-wipe-down kid to sterilize the machines after use. it's a high traffic area with staph prevalent, although it would be an inconvenience to the user--looking at the alternative i'm sure any player w/ his head out of his ass wouldn't mind.

like Winslow didn't the symptoms appear after surgery, where scalpels and operative instruments were introduced into open flesh? there's no way to tell if it was delayed from the operation or from the rehab equipment.
i agree it's near impossible to contain it if you bomb the place a couple times and do little else, but if you installed sterilizing equipment next to every machine it would surely do a hell of a lot more than nothing. given the seriousness of staph i bet the few who wouldn't use the sterilization products would quickly become the minority. was anything like that furnished?

Sometimes the only way things get done in this country is when you hit them in the pocketbooks.

I'm sure this logic will hold up in a court of law.
Joe's lawyer: "Your honor, Joe was fearless going over the middle and never shied away from making the tough catch. He was a great teammate, so he must be in the right when sues the bejeezus out of everyone even tangentially associated with his knee injury and subsequent staph infections."
-
No but they can look at how many infections we had and know somethins fukd up here
-
JJ's suing so he can feed his family????? Give me a freakin' break.... He's probably made over 20 million during the course of his career.... This isn't about feeding his family of righting an injustice.... It's about money, getting the last nickle because his career is over....
On a side note, I think his absence last year was one of the biggest reasons we underperformed as a team last year.... We had no one to fill his position at the level he performed....
BTW, who says we don't have a ball boy working the weight room to clean the equipment... The team has a huge investment in these players and usually go above and beyond to protect that investment...
I had surgery at the Clinic last June and got a staph that put me down for over 7 months with an additional 4 surgeries and I wasn't anywhere near the Browns facility.... I wonder who I should sue----I wanna' feed my family also.... (Anyone know a good attorney lol)...
peace

that's not the logic mz the pussy and you're funnier when you're not reaching to insult me.
i was referring to his validation from me as a fan for pursuing whatever he wants to pursue. joe jurevicius has cred on my street.
for a bunch of guys on the outside looking in we sure have strong opinions about what really went down inside Berea facilities.
