re: Greg Brooks Jr's attorney reacts to BK rebuttal:

Really? “It is factually incorrect to state I was not there by Greg’s side through this ordeal. “ I mean it’s pretty black and white.

Jesus man. Again, he didn’t say he was personally at his side every single day. Being by someone’s side is literally there for them and their family. He obviously had a program to run and he had people checking in on Greg as well.
It isn’t his job btw to be there that much. Greg’s semester ended the day he had surgery. His time with the program was over at the end of the semester if not sooner. Brian Kelly and LSU owe Greg brooks or his family a damn thing. It may sound cold but the reality is
1. He was an adult
2. He had a non-football related illness that was advanced and he didn’t go to his own drs nor did the family who care so much now did either.
3. It was caught and surgery happened quickly.

Most don’t get that.

Thanks

I believe Kelly and LSU did all they could do. I do believe the Brooks family needs help with Greg. It’s a shame courts have be involved period.

Couldn’t agree more !

I watched the GMA story Michael Strahan did with Greg Brooks and his father. Then I happened to see a Hulu special about Isabella Strahan, Life Interrupted, and her battle with brain cancer. I was surprised to learn that Isabella was first told that her symptoms were probably due to vertigo, just like Brooks. Her surgery was successful, but not without serious complications, including having to undergo two additional surgeries due to infection. Strahan (by way of Brooks Sr.) made it sound like LSU and OLOL doctors were guilty of dropping the ball and much worse, when his own daughter’s experience was similar. Add in the smear job on Kelly, and the GMA story is a total hit piece. I hope LSU lawyers don’t settle without a fight.

So all that's left on this board is major sunshine pumpers.

This will be the end of Kelly. It'd just crazy here. He gets a few four star transfers and retains Nuss who doesn't look improved and it's all rainbows and unicorns.

When LSU drops its 3rd next year, this will still be lingering around and they will get him for cause. Yall are like sheep. Every year we go through this. He lands a few big cruits but still overall... just not the guy and the class wasn't enough.

Everyone's so quick to jump on this dude. 39 days and they told this cat he was fine. 39 is beyond neglect.

Kids, this is what you end up like if you don't stay in school

If I had a child that needed surgery to remove a brain tumor OLOL Hospital would probably be closer to the bottom of my list in treatment centers.

---

Did LSU or Kelly prevent Brooks from getting care elsewhere?

quote:

---

Not because this hospital is a bad hospital but because research will tell you there are far better centers and surgeons elsewhere.

---

So then why did Brooks' parents allow him to receive care at a sub-optimal facility for his condition?

quote:

---

This is pure speculation but since this was such a highly publicized case; if LSU or OLOL stood to benefit financially from the successful removal of Brooks brain tumor, then they also stand to suffer financially from the unsuccessful results of the surgery from anything that could’ve been done better.

---

Such a garbage take. Again, did LSU prevent Brooks from receiving medical care outside of their established relationship with OLOL? It seems like LSU provided addtional care and support beyond sports medicine through an established relationship with a medical provider that Brooks and his family accepted.

What's the basis of the lawsuit? Is the lawsuit against the LSU football medical staff for not just assuming that they had to do a CT scan as the the first means of diagnosing a football player that is seemingly suffering head aches and vertigo? Are they surmising that this equals neglect? Or is the lawsuit against Brian Kelly over hurt feelings?

It is sad for the Kid....but this is life man. This didn't happen from football. He was getting that tumor with or without football.

---

It could be said that, without football, Greg wouldn't be here at all. What if he was just some kid that graduated HS, went to college for a business degree, THEN discovered he had the same condition? Would it have even been found in time to do something about it if he didn't have the impetus to perform at peak physical condition and was part of an organization that could get him the help to quickly diagnose it before it killed him?

I understand the "potential loss of income" from a football career denied. But I also see the "potential complete loss of life" if he hadn't had the level of immediate medical care that the LSU football program gave him.

Frankly, I don't blame the kid or his parents. I do blame the ambulance-chasing lawyers who are at the nadir of their craft, given that nothing bad is EVER your fault, but is ALWAYS someone else's fault in this day and age.

And that's true regardless of what your political, religious, economic or philosophic beliefs are. We are at the pinnacle of victim culture, where somebody always has to pay or be blamed for anything "bad" that happens to you.

This case is the perfect example of that. JMO, folks.

So BK saying he was "there by Greg's side" didn't mean physically,

---

He was physically by his side

quote:

---

When asked if LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly visited & supported Greg Brooks Jr following his hospitalization for a brain tumor, former #LSU Safeties Coach Kerry Cooks told LSUOdyssey.com: "He (Kelly) did visit, multiple times I can attest to that!" Coach Cooks was Greg Brooks Jr's position coach from 2022-2023. Coach Cooks was fired by Brian Kelly following the Tigers' 2023 season.

Do you think he has to be by his side every single momement for his statement to be true?
