Boiling water, sever blistering and possible life long damage yes. Story sounds embellished abit by either the family to make his sound heroic or the media who is always looking to deify someone prior to exposing the hooker/drug/nine babies-10 mothers story.

Heat has devastating effects on organisms.

Did you guys even pay attention in science class?

I was under the impression that he experienced some burns that caused him to be more aerodynamic, have softer hands, etc.

It would be burned and as a result made so tight that the simple motion of stretching your leg to tap a step could be made impossible and at the very least would be excoriatingly painful.

“I want this guy on my Packers. We lack toughness. We need an infusion of toughness ASAP. This guy looks like a 20 cc shot of toughness right to the heart of a team.”

he was 5 and he got burned with hot water, ok he’s a tough kid. Its 20 years later.

Seems pretty desperate to covet a football player for a situation like this, but then again you’re a Packer fan and are from a lower tier of intelligence.

Was their pediatrician Dr. Nick Riviera?

I hope someone takes a chance on him, as a draftee or UFA.
