I'm wondering the same thing.  I understand it is a slippery slope to speculate about the incident, but this is largely a board of opinions.  I don't think anyone here is going to affect the legal process, so what is the harm in discussing it electronically the same way we would if we were gathered under the cherry trees in Tailgreat Park? 

I played poker last night with one of my best friends who happens to be an optometrist.  I asked him about the likely damage to a hard punch to the face.  He said the part of the face around and under the eye is very fragile.  He said it would be pretty difficult for someone to be ready to play football in 10-12 days after suffering an injury like that.  It is certainly not Boo's specific diagnosis, but in general, a longer recovery than there is time in the regular season.

I think this is really an unfortunate way for the season to end.  Boo did what all of us have done at some point in our lives.  He put himself in a situation that could only get worse.  I have no problem with him being at the bar, but he needed to have the calmness to walk away before it escalated to the point it did.  Drunk or not, he had to take the higher road because he had way more to lose than the bouncer.  I hope he recovers quickly and is able to put on the uniform again.
