OT: Rodney Rogers

Say a prayer for him. He's paralyzed from the shoulders down. I found this on Wikipedia:

"Rogers had one significant game in his rookie year, on February 8, 1994, against the Utah Jazz.[4] Near the end of the game, Rogers hit three three-pointers in a span of nine seconds to bring the Nuggets from a 94-86 deficit to a 95-94 lead. However, Utah's Jeff Malone hit a jumper with 12 seconds remaining to give the Jazz the win."

Wow, right? Amazing finish. I feel like he played for us briefly but I can't find any record of it so I guess he didn't.

 

Yeah, Im really bummed for him to say the least...I think Id honestly want to kill myself if I were paralyzed and all I could do was turn my head...what a nightmare. All my best for him and his family. So horrible

 

He was my neighbor a few years back, when I lived in New Jersey...he was a great guy. His family was great too. And his basement was awesome.

Being paralyzed is devastating, especially for an active guy like him.

Good luck, Rodney.

 

I remember that game. Best failed comeback ever. I always feared RR's versatility on the floor.

 

I think you're thinking of Carlos Rogers who came over with Damon.

I'm praying for a miracle.

 

Can I just be the first to say:

My thoughts and prayers go out to my brotha Rodney and his family--take care, bro'!!!

 

A very sad situation. My best wishes to him and his family.

 

I can't even begin to imagine how devastating that would be. Especially for someone who was an athlete.

 

I feel for him and his family, but I will not "pray". My Niece died 3 days ago at just under 4 months old. I prayed for her many times daily for every day of her short life. Well, I have no faith anymore. I spit at the idea that there is a god that you can pray to. If there is a god at all, it does not give a shit about anyone.

 

^oh man...Im sorry for you and your families loss, thats horrible

 

Thanks.

I was not posting that to get sympathy though, I just really have lost any connection that I may have had in the past to something bigger. I am quite depressed right now and don't really have a good outlet so I used the blazer board for something i should have just kept to myself.

 

Damn. We just had a baby boy two and a half weeks ago. Crazy "what if" thoughts go through my mind all the time.

 

Congratulations. Hugs and love all the time. And a little Blazer hat. And I'm sure that your baby will turn out wonderful.

 

My condolences on your loss, GOD.

As a non-pray-er, I can say my thoughts and best wishes are with you and also with Rodney Rogers. From what I read, sounds like Rogers was doing a lot of good things, building houses, coaching a girls' team, etc.

Please. Please. PLEASE. People, wear your safety belts. Even if they are not cool.

 

God - I'm so saddened to hear that. My thoughts are with you.

 

Thank you crandc and Crimson.

 

GOD - I know you didn't post that for sympathy, but I just feel like I should say something. I am not the most 'well-spoken' person but my thoughts are with you and your family. I really don't know what else to say. Try to stay strong. Your family needs your strength.

Rodney Rogers, you too. My son and I - our thoughts are with both families. Prayers too.

 

Thanks for posting that. That's amazing.

 

Sorry GOD.

 

Do not worry about keeping things like that to yourself. I don't sympathize with people in general as man can do some fucked up stuff, but I feel for you profoundly. If you would like, you can write me a PM as an outlet. Write whatever you want. Just to write it. Send it and I promise not to read it, ever. Just get it out however you can.

I am sitting here now, angry about the game and some punk kids I found burning shit next to my fence when I got home tonight. I realize how stupid I was, and will be again.
