re: BK confirms that Greg Brooks family is a bunch of lying cowards

I find it unfortunate that the family chose to trash and alienate a large group of people who, by all accounts, were attempting to help them through an unfortunate circumstance.

Never let a good deed go unpunished.

So they did clear him medically to practice through fall camp and cleared him to play in two games even though they had been aware there was something wrong with him, it turns out it was a brain tumor that they had not tested for, for over a month. I too believe this is true.

It will be up to a judge and/or jury if this amounts to negligence or malpractice.

LSU is in a bind. Despite a settlement not being an admission of guilt, if they settle they will be guilty in the court of public opinion. If they go to trial and lose, it is possible a sympathtic jury would to scorched earth on LSU. They would have no choice but to clean house in the football program.

LSU’s best best is to go to trial and win. But to win, LSU’s lawyers will have to attack a former player and his family.

LSU is in a bind.

I don't disagree.

Again, it's unfortunate that the family chose this route. There are people saying BK stayed overnight with this kid in his hospital room, LSU did tons for Brooks, and this is how they get repaid.

Meanwhile, trashbags like yourself are gleefully piling on because a tragic situation happened to a player on a team you irrationally hate.

Sad.

People are piling on because emotional LSU fans are not able to admit that everything wasn’t done perfectly and that in fact LSU may have some culpability.

Has any LSU fan said that everything was done perfectly? That seems to be a strawman argument.

LSU has no culpability in Greg Brooks developing a brain tumor.

People are piling on because emotional LSU fans aren’t able to even discuss it and instead go straight to name calling, just like you and other LSU fans have done in this thread.

That's false. Several LSU fans have tried to correct erroneous statements that you personally have made yet you continue to regurgitate false and disingenuous narratives.

There's no possibility of an honest discussion with you because you're intellectually dishonest as a person.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that LSU was negligent. What damages did Brooks suffer as a result of LSU's negligence? They don't just have to prove liability. They have to prove that LSU caused the brain tumor, which they obviously did not, that Brooks' condition somehow worsened as a result of their negligence, or that Brooks did not receive timely medical care because of LSU's negligence, and was physically harmed as a result. It's been discussed ad nauseum that the timeline between the diagnosis and treatment of his brain tumor was on par, if not expedited in Brooks' case compared to most patients. I'd say Brooks and his family have an uphill battle when it comes to proving his case against LSU.

If I rear end you in a parking lot I'm probably liable in a negligence case, but if you weren't injured as a result you don't recover any damages, except perhaps the property damage to your vehicle, if any.

Whether the physician committed malpractice is above my pay grade, but medical malpractice cases are difficult to prove most of the time.

You have a lot of downvotes but Brooks sr is lying. He knows he's lying. I hope they go to court now. I want to see this play out. Brooks sr will get toasted.

This is what it comes down to. Life is unfair! It happens to a lot of people. Deal with it and don’t try to bring others down by doing so. Trying to bring down Brian Kelly who was by he side and he can prove it AND LSU is low life! None of these accusations can improve that kids condition and there is nothing LSU can do that will improve the unfortunate and unexpected brain cancer Greg got.

I’m sorry but i do not care about Greg Brooks or his family as a result of being total cowards. It identifies their character. This is a complete low life attempt at money.

I will not pray for this family’s well being! Hopefully it all back fire on them for making such a cruel decision. ITS DIGUSTING!!!


And i gives ZERO fricks what anybody thinks about my opinion!

What his father is doing is morally reprehensible and can’t be defended

And it’s not an opinion he is a liar. There are hundreds of news paper articles with Brian Kelly at the hospital during and after the surgery, coaches sleeping on the hospital, etc

It wasn’t until his father had the lack of character to sue the university that communication was stopped

It’s horrible what happened to Greg brooks jr

It’s also horrible the lack of character his father has. It’s equally disgusting watching people celebrate the entire thing because of sports

I may be wrong about this but since when is it a coaches responsibility to make sure a player goes to see a doctor that is outside of the sports medicine area of responsibility? He is a grown man. If he does not believe his team doctor is giving him good advice, it should be his responsibility to seek a second opinion.

I agree with all of this.
