God Bless you Big Rich!

I read that the doctor's prognosis is for him to never walk again. I pray that the good Lord gives him the strength to persevere and overcome those words.

I still can't believe the cowardly acts that led to this. How can someone walk among us with that on his/her conscience? I can't fathom it.

The irony of being so angry at an act of violence that you wish to commit an act of violence.  I wish these people would be caught and put away for a long time but you have to see the irony of your post.

The idea to do harm to the bad guys goes back to Jesus preaching eye for an eye. Of course Jesus did not mean we should make other people physically blind, but the message sounded like criminals should be punished with the same bodily harm as an innocent man they attacke. Right or wrong, this is how many people think. But that does not mean we really want criminals to lose the use of their legs forever. We do want the criminal(s) to be locked up and die in jail because the damage done won't be reversed. If you force a man to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, you do not deserve to walk on the same streets he used to. It is not like we wish suffering on a person because prison is doing justice, not inflicting pain on a shooter.

It was truly sad news today to hear about Collier's prognosis, and about his NFL career being over.  However, the fact that he is alive, and understands what is going on right now is a major step in the right direction. 

Collier is a guy that has faced adversity almost his entire life, and he's found a way to overcome.  My hope is that this new obstacle in front of him presents Rich with a new opportunity and a new challenge for him. 

According to the reports on FCN, he was already talking about possibly coaching or getting involved in some business ventures moving forward, so despite the shock of knowing that his career has ended, he's still displaying the type of hope that should be an inspiration to many.

The fact that he fought so hard to keep living at the hospital despite losing one leg and the ability to use the other is inspiration. Saying he will try to start a business, become a coach, or do something else with his life only adds to that. The hope will always be there because he chose to persevere. Richard is not the kind of guy who will get depressed if he is not playing football because he knows there are ways he can help others without running and blocking on Sunday afternoons.

The two videos are now active on jaguars.com.  Best wishes to Big Rich.

Thanks for the information. I could not watch it live and wanted to hear everything they said. Best wishes to Richard.
