Braham is out for the season

I heard today, virtually from the horse's own mouth, that the Bengals expect Braham to be out for the season, or at least most of it. Forgive me if this has already been reported, but it struck me as new information. So we should get used to it and move on. I wont reveal my source, but you can't get much closer to the man himself, and not be married to him.

Yes, soon after the injury I heard the same thing from someone very close to the medical staff and was going to post this on both Bengals boards that I play on. However, there was an article in the Post or Enquirer that explained it as a tibial fracture, and assumed everyone understood that that meant a LONG recovery time...possibly even season. But yes its true.

And I posted this on Go-Bengals, but Tab's likely out for the year too. If he does come back it will be at the very end, maybe even postseason. Highly unlikely though that they'll rush him back from what he has. I would explain what he has, but am not sure if it is public info...so I don't want to violate HIPAA.

Well, unless you work for the medical staff... it won't violate HIPAA, as it appears HIPAA has already been violated one way or the other.

Either someone who works for the medical staff violated it by telling you, or you are someone who "needs to know" and you violated it already by telling us that it is "Tab's likely out for the year."

The damage is already done fella. Might as well make it count for something by giving us the juicy details. Of course that assumes that I believe you... which is in doubt.

I think what BengalSkySpy is trying to tell us is that he is Rich Braham's gay lover.

EDIT: JK, by the way. I have been mistaken as being serious in the past when I thought it obvious that I was kidding. At any rate, this would not surprise me if true.

What wouldn't surprise you - that Braham's out, or that the guy who posted this story is his gay lover?

I'm buying it on Perry too. ML's weird odd silence about it, broken only with "his absence will be measured in weeks".

What drives me so nuts about that is that it didn't have to happen. That whole sequence, from CP and the first team offense still being on the field late with the 34-10 lead, to the ill-advised pass to CJ that about got him killed, allowed the Browns to score the cheap touchdown, leading to the kickoff to Perry (a meaningless kickoff) where he got hurt.

That Browns game was an unmitigated injury disaster (Pollack, Braham, Perry), as bad a day injury wise as this franchise has sustained, in my opinion...

Really, the Braham "rumor" is mostly old news. "Bone bruise" is usually NFL-speak for a fracture, and word filtered out the week after Richie was hurt that this was indeed the case. He's clearly out until late in the season at best.

As for Tab, who knows, but I agree with mem that the lack of progress reports likely means an extended stay on the sidelines. I wouldnt be surprised if he was placed on IR sometime in the next few weeks to make room for a returning PUP player.

Good point. When I wrote it, it was that Braham is out. In hindsight, it would surprise me if BSS is his gay lover. I haven't seen BSS, but I still think he could probably do better. Sorry Ritchie.

Sorry, I won't bite.

It's okay for you not to believe me...I'm not posting this as fact, just as very knowledgeable gossip. If it turns out to be true, I won't be screaming "I told you so" and if its not true please don't tell me that I'm a *&%*&^%*.
