:karma:Will he ever play a game?Been a pretty rought start to his career
I used to think of these types of things happening to Cleveland sports teams/players as 'unbelievable'. I now consider everything bad thing that happens in Cleveland sports as 'believable'.
....and deserved. :stillers:
The article said that he was riding around in a parking lot with some other riders and hit a curb at 35. I highly doubt he was just "riding" the bike noramlly. Empty parking lots and several other riders=effing around doing tricks or racing. Smooth move soldier.Don't most professional contracts, particularly for high price signees have very explicit language that prohibits certain potentially dangerous actions? It would seem to me that riding a motorcycle when you're a highly paid professional athlete would be something that could warrant voiding his contract.
If the Browns don't have the language in his and other players' contracts, they may want to re-think that.
On the other hand, ESPN says not life threatening. Sounds serious to me.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2051653
Not only a biker but a great speach writer also. You must be a hard riding mini bke owner, let me tell ya. Lets wait and see what the info is BEFORE nailing him to the cross!
Being a little harsh on this guy aren't you? All he said is the truth. More and more people out there are getting bikes and less and less respect the danger of riding one. You tell him to wait for all the facts to come out and then you assume he rides a pocket bike? Lighted up Frances.
I said in my post I didn't know all the details. I do hold out some hope that maybe just maybe he was practicing riding in the parking lot. That is common thing done by new riders.Thanks Prime thats what I was trying to get across. Don't worry it freaks me out a little as well.
With rookie contracts, always. Veterans can work things into their contracts if they pass certain licsensing exams and so forth, they have the clout to do so. Jayson Williams of the Bulls almost had his leg ripped off in a bike accident and they could have voided his contract for it (if i recall correctly they worked something out).Its a pretty good bet the Browns could have totally voided Winslows contract if he badly messed himself up, possibly even getting the signing bonus back. Of course the lawyers would be all over it, but its still absolutely idiotic to risk your entire financial future over something so stupid.
Didn't he call himself a warrior once?
This kid is not carrying on his father's legacy thus far. Pretty effin dumb with training camp just around the corner. 
Earth to Lions fan: your team is as bad as my team.BTW...from the tone of the accounts I would be seriously worried were I a Brown fan. Left in an ambulance, and injuries are not "life-threatening" - not exactly "nothing serious." I'd bet he at least has some broken bones, at worst, is now done forever in the NFL.
As a Lions fan, all I can say is, thanks for the draft picks Cleveland!

Yeah...okay....we'll see this year.
Now that's more believable.I won't be conviced the guy is alright until he's on the practice field and working out with the team. I hate that pud.
