      He is getting clicks by pushing bullshit narratives. This is how he has made his money for 20 years. The guy straight up lies and gets people upset over nothing.

    Please don’t Florio post. There are tons of other sources you could have used that aren’t hilarious biased

    He definitely didn’t secretly have a torn ligament. That’s not an injury you can hide and attempt to play on.

      I’m so glad we have so many sports medicine physicians here to clarify that partial tears, inflammation, or injuries that preceed a full tear aren’t a thing.

      No, you’re not getting it. Burrow purposefully played fine through the whole week in practice, warmups, and the game (until he got his hand flattened at an awkward angle under himself and a 260 lb linebacker), but only to cover up his wrist injury he wanted to not get seen or treated.

      He trusted the compression sleeve to heal him right up instead of medical professionals he’s worked with extensively on multiple occasions

          Is this the “but why did Brady trash his phone during deflategate” argument?

          You don’t need an explanation. It could be any number of things but it’s not because he had a secret wrist injury. He wears that compression glove regularly when flying.

      Not to mention we saw a play where his wrist got fucked. He threw another pass and almost fell over in pain. Then he left the game. His wrist may have been sore before the game but he was not playing through a tear.

    I’m just gunna go out on a limb here and say that a multi millionaire dollar quarterback did not jeopardize the rest of his career over some bets on one game.

      This. I’ve yet to see anyone give a plausible reason WHY Burrow and the Bengals would do this.

        Only thing I could think is one of those situations where you don’t wanna sit your best player and he doesn’t wanna sit either, that competitive mindset. But I very highly doubt that in this situation, thats a very nasty injury to risk make worse, nor could you even play well with it anyways. Florio is just looking for more clicks.
