Confirmed by the Bills. Emergency surgery to address a cervical spine injury.

Re: Kevin everett taken into emergency surgery

that doesn't, in and of itself, mean it is life threatening...but it is not a good sign about other things.

Eb, any time you go under anesthesia it's life threatening. You of all people should know that. The fact that it's a central nervous system injury only makes it worse. If I had to guess I'd say this is a quick response in hopes of reversing something that is going to leave him paralyzed.

or it could be to set something that will prevent further paralysis...all i was saying that there shouldn't be any jumping to conclusions...from the sounds of it he was transferred from one hospital to another...you don't tend to do that if the patient has a risk of dying en route...

Agreed.

But any casual fan of the NFL knows we were heading to this, and worse.

Kinetic energy =1/2 mv squared.

m is getting bigger.
v is getting faster.

Both are squared in this equation and this game.

This game is getting really dangerous.

Especially on special teams, where v is most pronounced.

Every kickoff and punt return is the equivalent of an auto crash without airbags.

That is the reality.

Good luck Kevin.

actually Everett was almost standing still - which can be worse for taking the impact...

and in this case F = M * A might be the more appopriate formula.

but I concur...the hits are becoming harder and more of these guys are using their heads instead of their shoulders...not smart play.
