Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

Conspiracy Theory


Here's one for you...Matthew Stafford just underwent shoulder surgery...many of us ask...why now?  We were told over and over and over again that he wouldn't need surgery.  Why all of of a sudden do they do it now and not 2 months ago?  I have read from different websites after frantically searching for more information about the alleged molestation case that Matthew Stafford was in attendance at the Ironwood and that he was involved in an ensuing scuffle.  He reportedly was not the molester BUT was tackled to the ground in the ensuing chaos...could this have further damaged his shoulder to the point of surgery with Dr. James Andrews?  I don't know but it sounds good when I type it and think about it...what do you guys think?  Is this a possible explanation?   We may never find out.

Is it possible to work...

If so, throw me some.

If he was hurt when tackled by a fry cook

then he needed the surgery anyway. But, he did get hurt when someone grabbed his shoelace against the jets, so I guess it could have happened that way. lol.

I heard that the waitress (victim) was a plant by the NY Jets, and the cook was actually Bart Scott.

Yeah I heard that the bilderburgers and the trilateralists over ruled

the Rothschilds and the City of London on whether it would be the SAS or Nighthawks to use mkultra to posthypnotically suggest that the bouncer tackle Matt from the grassy knoll and the dal tex building, while simultaneously firing missiles into his body while Mi**en gave the order to shoot down Matts shoulder.

I am besides myself about that pic

On one hand. You guy a tough guy stare-down. While wearing a fluffy Winnie the Pooh hoodie. On the other hand. It was a “Dotroit Pistons” hoodie. And why the fuck is WInnie the Pooh on a Pistons shirt? This is very unsettling to me. It is just effen creepy…..

Recommended vs. Required

Sadly, my theory doesn’t involve #4’s package, but it seems simple enough to work. He doesn’t need surgery, but was later convinced to have work done to enhance the healing process. You know, clean it up and make it look pretty.
Whatever it was, I feel better that he’s having surgery, conspiracy or no.

It's turkey, Lions and Macy's. Any other combination is just ludicrous.

Any link to where it says Stafford was tackled at the bar?

I would love to see it…

It's one of the many rumors out there about what happened that night

Tough to judge which are even in the realm of being true.

The issue with this whole story is that people are keeping quiet about the details until it's decided if charges should be filed or not

I’d expect them to come out one way or another at some point, but right now it’s just random people on message boards doing a lot of speculating and rumor mongering. As a result it’s tough to believe everything you read, which is why I’m not even acknowledging the rumors right now.

Personally

I find it very surprising how a simple sexual harassment case is being kept so quiet. Makes me think that there is more to the story than people are lettign out

like a certain playboyesque

going on 3rd year extremely overpaid QB who is used to every female in his vicinity throwing themselves at him?

I had my suspicions from the moment the story broke and having this surgery happen within a week of the “incident” is just too coincidental.

lol

First off, most popular players gets majority of women withing a 10.986 ft vicinity to throw themselves at them (the player). It could be anyone. He had a grade three shoulder seperation, which isn’t exactly a walk in the park, so I’m not surprised that had a surgery done

lol

I was going along with the conspiracy theory.

Really, his name did pop into my head when I first read about the bar incident. I just didn’t say anything back then because it was too early.

I do think it is weird how a charge like this is kept secret. It makes me wonder if it really is against a much higher profile player than any of us are hoping.

if Roethlisberger...

can get away with rape (or the closest thing to rape without it being called rape), I can live with one of our players, regardless of profile, inappropriately touched someone. Especially if they are fighting it this much, it is probably a weak accusation, otherwise they would’ve just settled.

by lions_sucker on Jan 21, 2011 9:17 PM EST up reply actions  

The only rumor about Stafford is that he was there, not that he was involved in the actual incident

Yes, the rumor exists that he was tackled in the melee afterward, but he is not the player rumored to be responsible.

it can't even be confirmed who was there...

and where did this info of a brawl come from. If so, someone would have been arrested for assault. This story is old, I just wish a settlement would be reached and the speculation can end.
