Lawrence Tynes sues Bucs for $35M


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

Just some typical slow part of the off season MRSA lawsuit talk.....

 

 

http://www.tampabay....fection/2224407

 

 

Former kicker Lawrence Tynes filed a lawsuit against the Bucs claiming former Tampa Bay trainer Todd Toriscelli was the source of the MRSA infection that ended his NFL career in 2013.

 

 

*Updated with a new link that has more info*

 

Looks like it is $20M in future earnings and $15M in damages

Didn't the Bucs/Mrsa end the career of Carl Nicks also?  He was considered one of,  if not,  the best guard in the NFL before they got a hold of him.

 

Hope Tynes wins his lawsuit and the Bucs are forced to pay out the nose.   Ending the careers of two players is BS.

The Bucs reportedly settled with Nicks for $3M. 

 

This article has a lot more detail behind the story:

Tynes is alleging that Todd Toriscelli, a trainer with the Bucs at the time, admitted to close friends he was the source of the MRSA infections because he had MRSA and used the same hot and cold tubs and other therapy devices and equipment the players used.

 

Holy poo, a trainer knowingly doing that? Plus the Bucs just had to pay for a lawsuit by their cheerleaders about being harassed at work? What a classy organization.

They'll almost certainly end up settling out of court with Tynes too.

 

$3M settlement for ending the career of an elite OG at the age of 27?  Yikes.  Nicks got fuged big time.

    • I feel like anyone within the Panthers fanbase no matter where they land on Bryce should agree on this. He's a good kid. He's intelligent. But ultimately is he going to ever be the guy to command a locker room? Obviously none of us can say. But I just don't get any alpha vibes from him whatsoever. Is that a dealbreaker? Not necessarily. Here's the thing though. We had the talk of his generational years ahead of his age leadership trait clubbed over our heads for weeks nonstop before the draft. But after seeing someone like Sam Darnold navigate life as a starting QB I think anyone here should be able to acknowledge homerism there are some similarities to Darnold in terms of personality. That is not what we were sold. All of this takes me back to before the draft. I just can't shake the sense that Stroud just rubbed Tepper or someone the wrong way. Was he too confident? Not subservient enough? Did they feel Bryce was more marketable and media savvy? My gut says these things weighed more into the pick than they should have. If not. Stroud more than likely would have been the selection. What's done is done though. I'm just like you though. I want to see some fire from Bryce at some point this season. But I'm expecting to be disappointed considering his first order of business following one of the worst rookie seasons ever was to detach completely and do nothing. As always. Hoping for the best. I feel like I have to put a disclaimer at the end of this post for the Bryce superfans. I want to see him do well. I don't want this to end in the worst case scenario. There now we can be friends!
    • I felt the Cam vibes on the huddle with Bryce, in fact its almost there. Threads that have no mention of young, turn in them.  Only deal is Cam had tons more supporters/nut huggers.  I honestly hated talking Cam with 90% of the huddle, in many eyes he was perfectly accurate with all his throws and if he had a legit great game the true haters were missing in action.   Cam board is now a Bryce board...
