He displayed his toughness by playing in the Sugar Bowl hours after being treated for kidney stones.

Re: I have to Question Pouncey...

This girl was clearly soft.

A 16-year-old Canadian girl has died after a virus that started out as the "stomach flu" invaded her heart, Montreal-based newspaper The Gazette is reporting.
Karèle Galaise-Séguin, 16, of Granby, Quebec, died Friday night at the Montreal Children's Hospital after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage.
The teen battled a rare disease for three weeks called myocarditis, which is caused by a viral infection that reaches the heart and inflames the heart muscle.
Galaise-Séguin's illness began as a stomach flu, The Gazette reports. After her condition did not improve in more than two days, her parents took her to the emergency room at Granby Hospital where she was diagnosed with a rapid pulse and dehydration.

..and I think the Mods should close this thread in light of what you just did.

I am done with this conversation.

Yes, I pointed out that stomach flu can have very serious complications and that your opinion of it is very uninformed. How terrible of me.

Implying that this little girl was soft or even using that term in any way or form in regards to her just to try and prove me wrong is as low at is gets.

I think that is wrong. But if it proves your point I guess it's ok, huh?

Maybe you should read up on sarcasm.

I think it's pretty clear from this thread that you are the one who was minimizing the stomach flu. I have continually pointed out that some of its symptoms can be life threatening. But you kept claiming Pouncey was out because he had a stomach ache and using eye-roll emoticons. But surprise, people do die from stomach flu and its complications.

As low as it gets? C'mon now...he was showing how "stomach flu" does not necessarily only imply "tummy-ache" (as you seem to believe). Dehydration and fever is not something to mess around with.

Re: I have to Question Pouncey...

It was apparently reported as dehydration resulting in weight loss, not simply a "stomach-ache".

Dehydration that results in significant loss of body mass can be a) debilitating, resulting in low blood pressure, and dizziness to the degree that it is difficult to stand up without support, and can, if not reversed with fluids, be b) life-threatening.

The argument that Pouncey left because of only a stomach-ache is at best ill-informed. I can't imagine why, after the issue was clarified that the dehydration was severe enough to result in weight loss, some persist in saying he left only because of a "stomach ache". Clarification would be helpful here, I'm sure there must be a reasonable explanation for that.

You think it's ok to show sarcasm in regards to a little girls death?

Ok as I said I am through with this thread. We can talk in other threads other topics. Not this one.

It's amazing how if your opinion differs from others on this forum you get attacked or something like this happens.

I stand by my guns. I question Pouncey leaving the game for a flu. That's just me. We need not show sarcasm by using a little girls death.

Peace.

Re: I have to Question Pouncey...

I bet Dee Dub never calls into work with a tummy ache! He's a Tough SOB! LOL

Let him question Pouncey guys! Who cares! We won the game!

i'll save my questions for an actual loss!!!!!! Last time I checked we only have 1 the last 2 months of football!!!!!!!!!! For all the negative type of fans they have to find something to complain about!!!!!!!!! It's been a slow 2 months for the negative fan!

I'll play along with negative!!!!! I question why Moore fumbled, Why Wallace dropped a few passes, why the pass rush looked flat!!!! Were they all sick too? LOL

Calling BS on this. It was stated multiple times in this thread that stomach flu symptoms can be very severe and even life-threatening and you continued to characterize Pouncey's condition as a 'tummy-ache'. You were also asked many times what his specific symptoms were and you never answered -- choosing instead to deflect.

EDIT: I forgot to add that you also lied about what people were saying.

Essentially, you refused to engage in any sort of informed discussion. So pardon me for stooping to your level.

Either way, if this gives you the out you need to stop prolonging this ridiculous (in the true sense of the word) thread, I'm down.

you need prayer dude...


if anyone says a thing about Ben that have to look to Jesus for forgiveness and look inside themselves....

I can't believe you are using pregame tunnel film and NBC reports of the flu as your proof. I have to question your sanity Dub.... you get all bent out of shape over a flu report but as soon as someone points out what a stomach flu can do to a person you want to close the thread.

Sounds like you were hell bent on flaming on Pouncey and now that people have called you out you want to run and hide.

Re: I have to Question Pouncey...

Having a virus wipe you out does not determine your toughness or lack thereof. There have been many tough men throughout the ages who have died from a virus.

The point is that even when feeling like crap it's amazing what adrenaline can do.

For a short period of time.

There is no doubt in my mind that Pouncey is an extremely tough dude.

He was running on fumes...if anything I commend him for going out there and trying to be a team player.

I will defer to someone like Shawn, who is a doctor but in my uneducated opinion what he did was what a team player does, and fits in the Steeler mold.

Right now my back is killing me, I have a terrible headache, and even a slight fever, but I'm not letting that keep me from posting on this board.

Say what you want, but the man had to be unable to stand if he was sick enough to lose 12 pounds that quickly.

What a wuss, Insanesteelersfan once told me he lost 12 pounds in an hour with one of his super duper workout routines....

Re: I have to Question Pouncey...

Why did Webby and Dirt retire? Because they were wusses that chose old age over their teammates. Sounds eerily Pouncey like to me.
