Big Ben in Surgery?

[Guest BengalBacker]

[quote name='Scott Covington' post='330027' date='Sep 3 2006, 08:07 PM']Come on, this is getting worse than the Steeler boards. We're better than that. Have some class. Is there any Bengal message board out there with good, quality, knowledgeable football discussion? The Reds have a great one in redszone.com but I haven't found a good Bengals board yet.[/quote]


Class is not something we strive for here when it comes to hated rivals.

Get used to it or run along.

Now is a good time to start the "Make fun of Ben Surgery" thread

I'm not going to preach the virtues of having some class. However, before you make love to your wife, thank your God, and party until dawn - consider karma.

Alright, I'll give you an intellectual conversation on the Stoolers.

If the Stoolers had lost the wildcard game last year, would Cowher still be employed?

No.

You and I both know that to be a fact. Not after all that went down in Stoolerville last season. He was in trouble after the loss to us in the 2nd game. That's what the Monday meeting after that game was all about. He was grasping at straws and Ben gave him one. Told him to take it to the air more and open up the run game in the process. It worked for all their games afterwards and it got them to the playoffs. I'd say Cowher owes his paycheck to Ben.

Did you ever think that maybe that was why Stooler management hasn't offered Cowher a new deal?

As someone who had appendicitis, if he has his appendix removed with a laparoscope and says he "almost died" because of his appendix, I personally hope someone kicks his pussy ass all over pissburgh.

i don't give a shit if he's playing or not! im going to enjoy rubbing it in their faces when we beat their ass. if you think about it, we may not play aginst him this year at all! cause if he doesn't play in week 3, we will already have homefield playoff clinched and when they come to town, we won't play our starters

[-Dan_Bengals_FL-]

Not a big deal for the Steelers. They won the Super Bowl in spite of Big Ben and his 22 QB rating. I am sure they can find someone to put that up for them and hand off the ball. He really is not hard to replace.

There is not one living Bengals fan out there that would want Carson to start the 2nd game if we already own the division and have homefield advantage in the playoffs. We would riot if Carson got hurt in a game like that and under those circumstances. Marvin would never take that chance with Carson. It would be a nothing, a throw away game under those circumstances.

I'm listening to Ratt "Round & Round" and see this and doubled checked espn. Fuck yeah, karma is a bitch Stealer fans you gloated like a school girl and what comes around goes around. I just finished my 8 hour work day.

I think you should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque, Bugs.

Class is reserved for those outside of the AFC North.

After 14 years of hell and last year's cheap shot loss...I figure we have a fair amount of karma to burn.

Hey guys...first time, long time. I tried to post this earlier but I may have screwed it up. I actually do this type of surgery all the time here in the Cincinnati area. His recovery directly depends upon whether his appendix was ruptured or not, regardless of whether it was done laparoscopically or open (traditional). If not ruptured and done laparoscopically, I usually let people start to exercise in 2 to 3 weeks, depending upon how they feel. He will still have some pain though. Another consideration is where they placed the incisions, as some place one of the incisions near the right ribcage, while others don't. If it was ruptured, he will be at risk of having complications, which would definitely postpone his return.

Its beginning to sound like he's a candidate for the PUP list.

Oh sweet Jebus, you guys is mocking karma! Help me Tom Cruise, help me Oprah!

[eva4ben-gal]

the scumbags over on stoolernation are pointing out that wines hard had the same thing in 2002 and was back in two weeks. Don't know how accurate that is but I do seem to remember something like this so there is a good chance he will be back for our game. But like Maximus said there are a lot of variables to consider here.

[Maximus]

Hey, thanks for the welcome Rumble. Jeb, I do not know exactly what the PUP entails. I can say that I have done this kind of surgery on a member of the law enforcement (one who had dealings with some of our beloved Bengals), and he was back on the streets chasing thugs in about 3 weeks. He was very much in shape, and this surgery made him slow down a bit. I often wonder though what it would be like when people are actually tackling you, or you are twisting/juking/ or throwing. I know that after what he has been through already, combined with this surgery, it will be very interesting. The first clue would be how soon they discharge him from the hospital. If it is ruptured, we usually keep patients a minimum of 3 to 7 days. Non-ruptured appys I send home the next day.

Yeah, like if he truly has vertigo or not?

[img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/39.gif[/img] I wonder how much Miami is going to put on Pittsburg, I guessing [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/23.gif[/img] 42. However Pittsburg will get 17 at most. I so badly hope he recovers by week three so that Carson Palmer will show them how much he hates them and that the Bengals will be repeating as division champs.

Gladd to have you on the site, I get most of my medical info from my dad who is a Orthopedic PA and is about to retire from that to teach at kettering in Dayton. He posted some info on Carson's injury a while back (http://forum.go-bengals.com/index.php?showtopic=13832&hl=), and I ironicly was on the phone with him when this thread was posted. He told me pretty much what you did.

He's not much to be the internet poster and only did that before as a favor to me, hopefully youll stick around and give us that other perspective on injuries and such
