Great... now we have experts commenting on the prognosis of Finley without even seeing him, knowing his case, his details, his injury. I get the NFL sells and stories are needed... but in a case this sensitive.. you would think they would wait for the facts, not speculation.

Why this bothers me.. I don't know.. but in light that his son was upset about his concussion earlier this year and him possibly hearing this speculation on ESPN, which may or may not come to reality, just seems so unneeded. For what.. to be the first one to maybe get it right? To collect another dollar..

This isn't a football matter at the moment.. why not let his life take it course without this type of reporting?

Bleh. Bleh...... Bleh.

The information known on the detail of his injury is so small, the expert cannot even make an educated guess. About the same as me saying somebody needs a new motherboard for their computer after a report that it didn't start up.

Not really. The expert isn't saying Finley needs to do this or that he's saying what happened/happens when someone has a bruised spinal cord. It would be more like someone saying their motherboard might be damaged and then you saying things that damage motherboards and what some people do to fix them.
