New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown Injured

68wRTR · Dec 21, 2008

I dont know if there is anything that gets to me worse in football than when an athlete goes down. Brown is a special athlete. I can only hope for the best for the kid. Its just like when Prothro went down, you hate to see it happen to any player especially gifted players, it doesnt mater what side of the ball the played or what team they were on. My prayers go out to Deandre and his family.

It was sickening to watch. ESPN had a camera right on him.

It was a "Prothro" injury, without a doubt.

Just awful...

When I saw him holding his leg up after he went down, I was praying it was an optical illusion. So sad.

Same thing as Prothro.... And the recent UFC match.

Horrible!!

With his size, recovery will be very challenging.

Man, I was thinking I was going to click on this link and find out that DB put ups some type of ungodly stats like 250 yards receiving in 3qtrs ... wasn't expecting this at all.

Man, I'm real sorry to hear this, my prayers go out to him.

i got up and left, couldnt watch it... when i came back the sports commentators said "he landed wrong," something along those lines anyway.

Brown carried USM as a true freshman. He will at the least be able to finish out school there. Here is their pre bowl article on DB.

Re: New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown

It's all good, it got my attention, he was one of the receivers I was hoping we could have added to last years class with Jullio. I really hate this for him

Re: New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown

Re: New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown

Yea, it looked like it broke while he was running, really weird.

But yea, I pray for the best for the young man.

Re: New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown

Terrible accident! Best wishes on a successful recovery, you hate to see a player hurt like that.

Re: New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown

Troy sort of gave that one away....

My prayers go out to DeAndre.

Re: New Orleans Bowl- Deandre Brown

It absolutely brought tears to my eyes, and, my son, who is one of Deandre's friends from Ocean Springs High School literally had to leave the house he was so upset.

'Dre was the best high school football player I've ever seen, bar none, and he simply set the woods on fire at USM this season. His first catch of the game last night was his 67th, which broke the school season record.

Hopefully medical science can find some way to perform a miracle and he'll recover over time. It's going to be very sad indeed if that was Deandre's last play on a football field.

Just for everyone's info, he had broken the leg previously and had screws in it. The fracture occurred right in the same area.

I'm not saying this in any type of sarcastic or funny way:

Doesn't this remind you of some of the leg breaks during horse races? Maybe we are finally getting to the point where we are training athletes past their breaking point and instead of sprains or tears now we are just seeing limbs snap.
