  • Not to sound totally in disagreement with Sisky...I do agree though that you'd think the Browns could employ someone to wipe down equipment. I also wonder though why these guys (who've been working out in gyms for years) don't take the initiative to wipe down equipment before they use it.

    Watch out for that new guy Costanza! He pees in the shower. I know it's true, I saw it on TV. Sorry!

  • it's not cleveland, it's the browns facilities, you never hear about this happening with the cavs or indians.

    they really need to get some new medical staff, this is ridiculous.

    You guys are missing the point. It is nearly impossible to effectively eradicate MRSA from a facility. Every single NFL team has MRSA in its facility. It's not simply a "medical staff" issue or an organization issue....it's an "everybody" issue. Every single person has to be on board. It's not enough to bring in a HAZMAT team and nuke the place. It's still there.

    He signed an informed consent that said he understood the risk of the procedure (which includes infection). It's going to be very hard for him to prove negligence.

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

    I would take Joe on my team any day! He is one of the classiest guys to ever play in the NFL. The Staff infection problem has been covered up by many sports organizations pro and ammiture over the past 5 years.

  • 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.

    Speak for yourself.

    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.

    So what you're mplying here is that the Cleveland Clinic, a leading medical center, doesn't know how to sterilize surgical instruments? If that's your premise, then I'm sorry and with all due respect, you've never been in an OR.

    i've been on the receiving end under the knife a few times, does that count?

    just stating there's truly no way to tell exactly when the stuff got in. maybe it wasn't on the brand-new-right-out-of-the-package-instruments until it touched his skin. who cleaned the area, and how well? is it possible there's an mrsa strain that is resistant to what they used to clean the area? it could go a million ways. just too many places for contamination is all i was suggesting. besides the fact i have little faith in things i don't specifically do myself or see firsthand. call it a survivalist curse. shit happens, every day.

  • How many other nfl teams had this many staph infections?? That is something we dont want the Browns to be leading in, If anything Joe might be doing this to get the problem adressed.

    The stuff they clean it off with will kill it. No question.

    Every team has had at least one. One team had five LAST YEAR (and it wasn't the Browns). I have that on first hand authority.

  • Didnt Tom Brady get it?
