Seriously, I was bicycling in Thailand when I got hit by a truck. When I saw that it was a Toyota, naturally I thought of Johnny Yune. “Once I got hit by a Toyota. Oh what a feeling.”

When he was with the Lions, he got clobbered so often that it seems like getting smacked by an SUV would be nothing.

I’m guessing the driver was Dre Bly, who then blamed Harrington for getting hit.

Guy got a ticket for following too close when first attendees to the accident scene observed the SUV “right on top of” Harrington.

Oh lord, not another run-a-way SUV. We need to pass a law bout SUV’s running around without a driver. Those SUV’s, u cant stop’em, u can only hope to contain them. They are always running over people on sidewalks, now there after has-been QB’s. When will this SUV terror stop.

Great guy. Met him a few years back, was more than happy to take a few minutes to talk and sign an autograph. Get well soon!

If he’d have spent as much time learning to read NFL defenses as he did playing piano and having pleasant bike rides, he might’ve been worth something after the Lions drafted him.

In France it is a felony for driving within one meter of a cyclist. In the US you get a pat on the back for hitting and almost killing a cyclist.

Would you say that he has a “BUST”-ed collarbone?

….sorry….

This guy has always had a knack for getting hit.

On a more serious note, best wishes Joey Ballgame

In Oregon you must maintain a distance of at least 1/4″ between your vehicle and the head, collar bone, and lungs of the cyclist in front of you.

The driver of the SUV, Derek Johnston, got a ticket for following too closely.

Damn I was going to draft him first in my fantasy league. Guess I’ll just go with Akili Smith.

Harrington said it still didn’t hurt nearly as much as playing for the Lions.

As has been stated, this is probably the first time Joey’s been hit from behind where Jeff Backus wasn’t blamed.

Seriously, my hopes and prayers go out to him for a quick recovery.

That sucks mightily, but this is a blog about pro football players, of which Joey Harrington is not one.

When I first heard of this it was phrased, “former NFL QB hit riding bike.” I was hoping it would be Jamarcus Russell, but I quickly realized he wouldn’t be doing anything considered to be exercise.

———-

C’mon now, Russell couldn’t even hit a stationary bike, much less a riding one.

Get better, Joey. I always thought you could have been more if you’d gotten better development.
