Regardless of the truth, Kelly's reputation has been damaged beyond repair at this point.

Honestly, I'm in the camp that believes its tarnished the LSU brand. They're eating them up on social media.

Not sure what credibility Kelly has left in many living rooms. Likely undeservedly so.

what a drama queen. No one will give a flying frick about this shite in a few weeks time. Nor should they. It’s a fricking rare brain tumor, not a football related injury.

I don’t think you should have to sue LSU to get paid if you get hirt playing football. LSU should carry insurance on the players.


The frick are you talking about?

OK sure, he should just ignore it since the accusations will just be forgotten anyway. Right?

I fricked up and put a different issue on the table.

Some kind of policy on players is warranted I think.

Poor Greg. Dude is just trying to recover and his family is at war with his former coach.
Idk his condition but I wonder if he even realizes what’s going on.

Exactly. Brooks’ camp was calculated with releasing this Super Bowl week. They wanted as many eyes on this story as possible. The GMA segment sounds like a huge deal but only grandmas and housewives watch that show.

No one will give a shite about this story the second the Super Bowl kicks off.

It’s a fricking disgrace that Greg had to be trotted out to barely form coherent sentences to help build negative PR.

I sympathize with the family, I really do. Medical bills are expensive and he’ll likely have them for the rest of his life. But man sometimes shite just happens. LSU didn’t do anything wrong. Brian Kelly certainly didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t know enough about the surgeon except what Google says, and that he’s an adult neurosurgeon, so I don’t know…

It all just sucks

Paying them off is not going to stop others from repeating what they have already said.

That’s what it seems the Brooks family wants. All this negative PR will get LSU to settle bc it’s nothing to LSU but a lot to them and they know LSU probably wants this to stop. The more negative they are, the more it pushes LSU.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Holy shite, this Greg Brooks thing is all over the internet. Wow.


Yes, it’s getting really ugly. Regardless of what is true or not, it’s still not a great look for BK or LSU on the surface. I say this not to be a dick, but before BK came to LSU, this board hated him. The thing always brought up was “he let a player die” while at Notre Dame. That’s not true but it’s an awful look, right or wrong.

Thoughts :

-LSU should counter sue for defamation.

-The attorney issuing the statement … a Vol. Went to Tennessee. Go figure.

-The biological Dad suddenly appears and takes the lead. Amazing

-Supposedly picture of Brian Kelly and Greg together in Memphis hospital was taken down from Greg’s social media. Of course it was. Surely someone has that screenshot. Let’s find it.

-In this article from Oct 23’ Kelly seems to be pretty in touch with Greg’s family and shows concern.

LINK

-I had all the same symptoms as Greg for over a month. Took me over 40 days to convince someone to scan my brain. Greg was operated on sooner than I could get a scan. If everyone that has vertigo was sent to get a scan, the line would be out the door and insurance companies would be broke. Facts

Money grab. Sorry he's ill but think how bad it would have been without the quick response of LSU and its medical staff.

I'm sure Kelly's contact with the Brooks family ended when they lawyered up.That's generally the way things go.

There’s more important shite going on in the world right now, no one besides LSU fans are acting like this is some big deal.

Yeah really sad turn of events. Greg would have always been apart of this university for the rest of his life. Would have been apart of something bigger than football. Probably an ambassador to the university, awards named after him, an overall role model for the university that would have been recognized and appreciated every day of his life.

Now because of the actions of his family and attorney the university will need to distance themselves. Once settled, he will have never existed. A real shame what money does to people. Sorry he has these kind of people in his life. Very shortsighted and his family did him wrong. Hopefully he can find peace one day with that.
